I'm still alive!

Well, it's been an epic fail on my part...I've been MIA for a few weeks from this ol' blog. So much for meeting my goals, eh? Life has been busy while I've been on my hiatus. John was gone for 16 days doing Army training and I've been working/surviving in the meantime. I head out next Monday evening to Seattle for a 5 days to partake in and celebrate Aaron and Ilia's big day! I am really excited and can't wait though I will miss my love while he stays home and starts school.

Anyway, some good things happened while away, including getting our engagement photos! Woohoo! We took our photos back in June and July, thanks to the weather, we had a 2 day shoot. I was super excited to hear from Angie that our disc was ready and we met up as soon as I had a free minute! This was my first time working with her and overall I was pleased. By picking out my favorites, she was able to see which ones I loved and what style I'm wanting for our wedding pics. Also, neither of us were creepily over edited and the photos actually look like us. I don't have the full disc with me (another fail) but I'll share a couple of the photos that I have saved (from facebook, so sorry if the quality sucks) and absolutely love:

We took advantage of getting our pics back and designed our save-the-dates! We'll be holding onto them for a few more months before they hit mailboxes but it was definitely exciting to make them! I can't wait for all of our guests to receive them, I think everything will start to feel more real. 

Well kids, that's it for now but I'll do my best to touch base on a more regular basis!
