Church

A few weeks ago Clint and I went looking for a church to get married in. We wanted a location near his parents home so we ruled out our current churches. We looked at several options in the area and then we drove by the First United Methodist Church in Seguin. We both just fell in love with it and instantly thought we should be married there because it is as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. What do you think?

Flowers

I am learning a lot about myself this year. One of the things I have learned is that I love flowers. I think that orchids and lillies are among the most breathtakingly beautiful creations on the planet.

Engagement announcement!!

It occurs to me that I haven't posted here in a long while. I have got some wonderful news to share with those of you who still stumble across this blog from time to time. I have finally found the man of my dreams and he asked me to marry him on March 27th, of 2010. (I said yes!!!)

This isn't officially out on the press yet but I may as well let you have a sneak peak at it!!
