engagement pictures

First, a gigantic "thank you" to our friend and photographer (and her lovely husband assistant). She took hundreds of pictures from all different angles and he carried my purse. No, really, it was fantastic and fun. Hopefully a few of them will hide how unphotogenic I am. We took some pictures in the building where we met and some nearby places:

What do you think of that last place? They rent it for weddings, you know. I'll have to inquire.

Anything with blue skies and green plants looks good to me right now instead of all the white stuff and below 0 windchills we currently have! No, really, the last place looks beautiful!

Yep, the dress deserves a post of it's own.

I think there has been a wedding in the Houston Garden Center every time we've tried to park over there, and that's a lot!

See how much it is and book it, girl!

But only if it's not too far from the precious church.....that way you don't have to get shuttles for all the guests. :)

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
