Traditions

-
Yesterday was our Year Anniversary! Can't believe its been a year already! It was such fun planning and actually having the ceremony it seems like last month. We have had a full year of great times and sad times. We are growing together and as individuals its fun! We were unable to do anything really big this year just cause, and i was disappointed at first but then after Jesus spoke to me he said to make it memorable in simple ways :)Its funny cause the weekend was full of american bridal traditions. Andrew's sister is getting married in May and her friends threw her bachorlette party friday night and a couples shower saturday afternoon.

It is tradition to have on last night of just the girls, or just the boys, before you strap down to just ONE person for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! :) it was fun and i think they got some good things.

So Saturday morning i put my wedding dress on and woke Andrew up! I love the dress and he thinks i look pretty in it! After our afternoon festivities we went to dinner at Shady Oak, on of the two restaurants that Andrew loves for dinner, and saw the movie Date Night! not too bad :) After we came home to eat our top layer of our wedding cake. This tradition is really kind of cool, it made last night really fun and special. Andrew had the kitchen all set up and ready for us (by his parents) when we got home. He put milk in our wine glasses :) and we cut the cake again.
It was a casual, normal evening that we celebrated God working in and thru us for a whole year! Praying that he continues to do so!
Thank you to all of you who sent cards, text and facebook congrats and remembrances :) We love them all!

Y'all are so sweet, and I love the milk in the picture! Guthry and I forgot about our cake was in the freezer for a LONG time. How unromantic is that?!

So sweet! Glad that y'all had a great day together! :) Waking him up in your wedding dress is a sweet idea! :) I might have to remember that one. ;)

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
