I have had so much fun reading all of your wedding plans and looking at pictures, so I thought I would start documenting my own. You all seem like such a great group of girls with awesome ideas.

A little bit about me, I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and work for my dad at State Farm. Before I worked at SF, I was working at Hy-Vee in the catering department and that is how I met Brad. We started off as friends and to be honest if you asked me 3 years ago if Brad was the one, I would have said absolutely not. We were too good of friends and I had been dating someone for about 4 years. A year later, we were both single and starting hanging out quite a bit more and decided to date. After a year of dating we found out we were going to be blessed with a baby. We now have a beautiful 8 month old named Grace. April 3, on my birthday, Brad took me to a park that over looks the Iowa River, it is one of my favorite places. There are many hiking trails and off the trails are over looks that you can get a good look at the hills and river. We were standing there taking everything in (it was one of the first nice days after a very long winter) it was a perfect day. He got down on one knee and I can't remember anything he said, I just kept saying thank you =) It was the best birthday present I have ever received.

I will have to post some pictures here as soon as I find them =)

Here are a couple of pictures of me, Brad and Grace. We are huge Cubbie fans. The other picture was taken on the Iowa/Wisconsin border on the Mississippi, one of the most beautiful places in Iowa.

Thank you so much!!

I feel like I have so much done already, I may be able to have this wedding next month =) Well, not quite. This is what I do have so far.

The cermony site & officiant
Reception hall and caterer
DJ
Rough Guest List (around 250 so far)
My dress, veil, tiara
fg dress
invitations (althought I may change my mind)
and some little things... like unity candle holders, fg basket and rb pillow

I'm meeting with a couple of photographers next week. I just want to have everything lined up, so I get who I want and not picking someone just because they are the only ones available.

I love looking at everyones pictures, so I will try to put some pictures up of my dress and other ideas I've had so far.

Can someone show me how to put pictures up so you can see them right away and not have to click on an attachment?? Thanks =)
