So I've been hanging around for awhile, chatting here and there and finally I decided to start my own journal. Love all of ya'll already, and I can't wait to get to know more about all of ya'll and your SO.

About me:
I'm 21 years old. I'm going to be attending my last year of college at Oklahoma State in Stillwater. I'm an animal science major, so I spend most of my time riding and training horses, which I hope to continue to do for a living out at my 600 acre ranch in West Texas.

About my Fiancee:
His name is Scott, he is also 21. He is also attending his last year of college, but at Baylor. (Yes we are long distance and high school sweethearts!) He loves to work on cars, go hunting, camping, fishing, riding horses with me, etc...basically your all around outdoorsy guy! He's also very smart, he's majoring in math, thank goodness I'll be marrying someone who is good in that subject!

How we met:
I met Scott through my best friend. She was dating him (Scott) and I was dating someone else. We (us girls) decided that it was not working out for us, so we switched boyfriends! Yes, we are still friends to this day, she's even going to be a bridesmaid.

How he proposed:
We had been dating for more than 3 and a half years. In January 2008, he asked me if I would like to go to Hawaii this summer. I had never been, and was very excited, but also very nervous because I am a nervous flyer. Well during his spring break, he was out hunting at my ranch and my parents happened to be there as well. (I was still stuck at school during the week he had off). He asked them if he could marry me and got my grandmother's ring from them.

Fast forward several months later. We went to dinner at a really nice steak place right on Waikiki beach. After dinner, he asked if I wanted to go watch the sunset. So we walked for awhile and got to the end of one of those rock piers. We stood and watched it for awhile. After that he asked if I wanted to continue walking along the beach. Which, we walked for probably 3 or more hours. The whole way talking about love and romance and all that. He must have had some glow on his face because one guy even asked us if we were honeymooners! Finally, it was dark out with the moon way above us. We were both barefoot and he walked me out to the end of a sand bar where it was quiet. He pulled me into a hug and started kissing my forehead. Then he whispered in my ear as he was fumbling for something in his pocket. Before I knew it, he was on one knee and asking me to marry him! I was so excited I could not even talk, so I just nodded yes and here we are today!

Here are a few pictures of us in Hawaii! (sorry these are kind of big!)

We went back a couple of days later to the exact spot so we could get some pictures in the day time of where he proposed.

So our ceremony site is at my church in Dallas, TX. Here is a picture of the Sanctuary:

That picture is not of my wedding (haha) just a picture of what it looks like during a wedding given to me via the church.


Reception site:
Is on the 48th floor of a building in Downtown Dallas. The place is called the Tower Club. There are windows that go from the ceiling to the floor around the whole room. We plan to have flat screen TVs on some of the walls that have a slide show going with pictures of us as kids and of us together. We also are going to do some lounge type seating in one part of the club to make it comfortable for our guests.

Again, these pictures were provided to me by the Club itself...so this is not during my wedding. It is just what it typically looks like during a wedding reception.

Congrats! You have such a wonderful story. Your reception site looks so pretty and its funny b/c here in Philly we have a banquet hall on the 51st floor of one of the buildings overlooking Center City and it is called "Top of the Tower" - just thought it was a bit funny! Can't wait to hear more about your planning and ideas.

Yay! I found my photographer. And I think I have found my dress. PM me if you want to see it (the dress!) I never know when FH might decide to snoop around here and I definitly dont want him to see it!


Anywho, I love my Photogragher. She is completely organized and creative! Here is the link to her website. Go to "Wedding Stories" to check out some of the pictures she has taken of weddings :)

So I had my first shower today! The women who live on my block threw it for me. It was a kitchen shower where you were suppose to give a good recipe and give a kitchen accessory you use to make that recipe.

I was a little nervous at first--I had never been to a wedding shower before, but it was fun!


Here are just a few random pictures just for fun:
