We had this on the books long before Ryan and I were engaged, but we kept our plans and had such a great time! We stayed at the Essenhaus - which was just homey and heavenly. Any time spent with Lynne is just FUN time. No two ways about it.
* Monday the planning continued. We got so much work done to plan shows for the rest of the year, which was really exciting. I love being able to be creative with her...and you know, it doesn't hurt when you can be creative BEFORE makeup, thankyouverymuch.
* Tuesday I made a trip to (sigh of contentment) Hobby Lobby - to purchase props for our engagement photo session! WHAT!?! Engagement pictures already? Well you better believe THAT! :) We wanted to have fall foliage in our pictures and around here, some trees are already half-naked, so we had to hurry to get them in before it's all gone!
* Wednesday night...engagement photos, session number one!! Want a sneak peek of the pictures? Ryan's mom took them and she did an amazing job. Oh my goodness. We picked out all our poses ourselves, but she did a great job capturing the fun and love we share!
* Thursday evening, Ryan and I went to Kokomo to meet up with some of his friends for a coffee/dessert date. On the way - this gorgeous sunset!
And after that, he took me to meet more of his family. They were so sweet...made me feel incredibly welcomed and loved!
* Friday evening (sorry about this, Kristin), we went to Mi Pueblo and then over to McConn with our friends Adam and Sara. Sara read my raving reviews of Apple Pie Chai from McConn, so she wanted to try some...and she LOVED IT!!!! It was our first official double date and it was much fun!
* Yesterday I worked the Health and Wellness day fair for the station. I was assigned to work in the ticket booth with Jeri and Sheryl...Sheryl and I were twins!!!
Pinterest Inspiration: I didn't really have time to make a Pinterest board for engagement pictures - since we had them taken so quickly. But we did find something similar to this as we searched through Pinterest for ideas. The whole "pinky promise swear" phrase is a joke between us, so when we saw something like this, we knew we wanted to do it. This one is ours, though:

My wife Dreama and our kids used to travel through Kokomo to get to Logansport where her favorite aunt lived until she died.
Looks like a great week.
Maybe one day Bill and I will get an invitation to come to Mi Pueblo with you. Until then, keep apologizing :)

Chewie, may I point out something about a December beach wedding? Do you not remember the COLD weather in winter at the beach? Also, having gotten married in winter myself, there are some unwelcomed surprises that can mess up plans. Maybe you guys can consider warmer weather? Or...hide your wedding dress under a coat? Just some thoughts....
I'm duly nervous about winter travel, but we checked average weather temps and they're usually in the 70s where we're going - and that's about 112 in my broken thermostat body! We have a backup plan if weather goes wrong! :)
