Engagement Pictures

Though I'm so intrigued by the little football game on right now, I manage to pull myself away to take some time and update our blog. 

Sat. we took our engagement pictures!! Bright and early at 8am (this of course meant I had to get up at 6:30 to prep) we ventured to Boerne to meet our photographer, Jim.  As Texas weather would go, it was a brisk 31 degrees when we started...a mere 60 degrees difference from the day before.  Burr!  Our photographer has 'the hook up' at the Dominion Golf Club here in SA, so that's where we went.  It was a really pretty resort and we had a lot of fun.  Brent wasn't feeling too well...we've both been suffering from the sniffles and coughs (we're constantly blowing our noses and coughing up stuff...we're so hot!).  He of course prevailed and managed to look as handsome as ever.  I was actually very comfortable with the process; I hardly even noticed that the photographer was there.  We just stood around staring at each other, laughing at randomness as usual.  I think we must have been so 'awe inspiring' or have that fairytale-princess/price vibe because at one point all of the woodland creatures (err a flock of ducks) walked up to interrupt our photo session.  Tuesday we'll meet with him again to select the 'keepers.'  

We then went to Floresville for lunch with the parents,  to look at invitation ideas and I went to a local boutique to register.  I spared Brent this trip and instead let him go home with dad to take a nap.  It was fun...it's always good to go home.

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

9 Months and Counting...

Where have the past 9 months gone??  I keep looking through her pictures/videos from the day she was born and the next weeks that followed...I can't believe how big she's getting.   She is so fun and full of personality.  She has always been an "easy" baby: she's slept through the night since about 3 months, usually follows a (rough) nap schedule , eats all the fruits and veggies that we send her way, she's healthy and generally a happy baby.  Oh, and she's about a 100 on the cuteness scale from 1-10.  She's not afraid to speak her mind; she's VERY vocal.  She is very curious and adventurous; she's crawling, and climbing and standing (unassisted-for a few seconds at least)...this girl doesn't miss a thing!  Every time we have a check-up the Dr. just laughs at how active and curious and vocal she is and says something to the effect of, "she's going to be  fun ."  ...bringing a whole new meaning to the word fun... I can't ...
