Engagement Pics

Kyle and I got all of our engagement pictures back and they are A-M-A-Z-I-NG!!!  Here are some of my favorites..

I am so absolutely in love with this boy...as if you couldn't tell!

From the Beginning

In honor of St. Patty's Day, I'm turning over a new leaf....with a new blog.  I figured living in a new (well old) place, having a new job, starting a new life, and on and on and on deserved a new blog.....so for those of you who were reading before..thanks for sticking with me!  Let's start from the beginning...

This is me...

In October I blew out 28 candles....and it was one of the best birthdays I've ever had....I moved back to Greenbrier in June after being gone for a few years-and unfortunately still have a house that I can't sell in Mississippi.  I am a Registered Nurse and take care of of kids from infants up to elementary school...and I absolutely love my job!  I have two girls that I love very much-Kami and Kasi-my weimaraners.  Right now we are living with my folks...in the house that I grew up in....and I am so glad to be back!  I have an older sister, a brother-in-law, 2 nephews, and a niece--and yes she is spoiled rotten being the only girl!  I have been a foster-mom to a wonderful now 19 year old who spread his wings and moved to Texas...he's working and going to start school in the Fall.  I love working out, teaching softball, attempting to learn golf, baking cakes, and oh yeah--spending time with this guy.....

This is Kyle....and he is THE ONE.  He has a house in White House about 10 minutes from my parents.  We went to high school together and his family still lives in Greenbrier as well.  Kyle is a project manager for Hollingsworth Oil in Springfield.  He loves loves loves golf...and is actually playing in the Nashville Amateur Golf Tour this year.  We attend Madison Church of Christ, work out together, cook together, and oh yeah--we're getting married!  In Destin, FL right here...

Kyle and I met at church when we were 16 and 17...and we went to high school together.  I tell him all the time he was in love with me back then but we just couldn't get the timing right.....We went on several dates here and there until our sophomore year of college...and then didn't see or speak for 7 years after life took us totally different directions...but thankfully, I found him on facebook December 2009.  We became friends again and the timing was finally right!  We were engaged August 1, 2010 on his parents wedding anniversary..and after 7 months of being a couple.  Our wedding is April 22, 2011 on what would've been my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary...only 5 weeks to go!

We are having a small wedding...I think our guest list totals 20....and we can't wait to be married!  Stay tuned for all of the wedding details in later posts!

All in the Details

So Tuesday marks 1 month away from our wedding...so so crazy to think about!  Kyle and I are both very ready for it to be here!  We have a very busy weekend ahead so I thought I would share all the wedding details....coming up this weekend I have my final fitting Saturday morning followed by a "Girls Night" aka bachelorette party that includes nails, food, a game night, and slumber party!  Then Sunday after church we have our first wedding shower.  Kyle has his first golf tournament this weekend and I hate that I am missing it--I know he will be great!

Here's a couple of pics of the house we rented...the reception will be set up around the pool area and the beach for the ceremony is a block down the street

Here are the bridesmaids dresses...each in a different color--purple, orange, and blue

my sister (purple) and Kyle's sister (orange) in their dresses

the guys matching ties

our main colors are purple and orange...these are the cake plates

and napkins

our cake is plain white with some seashells...and this is the topper

someone designed our invitation for us then I added the purple background and the blue bows

here's the arbor for the ceremony...it will have purple bows and purple ties on the chairs

and the flowers...purple, orange, and blue gerber daisies
