The other engagements...

It sure is a good thing we had more engagements done, since our originals are still lost. (Such a mess!) I am happy with most of the new ones, and I haven't yet heard that I look mean. (I am mean, I just never knew it showed!) Here are some of the pictures that people have liked ...










There is even more exciting wedding news in the Taylor family! Gavin's sister, Dayna, is getting married. It sounds like March will be their magical month. Gavin's nephew, Matthew, is getting married in May. He popped the question to Bree on Sunday! Last but not least, Gavin's brother Richie may be hearing wedding bells in 2010 as well. It will certainly be a busy year for the Taylor family! It will be a year of excitement and growth for sure!

LOST!

The frustration has started! The super duper US Postal Service (at it's finest) has lost our engagement photos! They were sent first class mail, and a confirmation states they were delivered on October 23rd at 8:43 am. We don't get our mail that early, and I don't know anybody that does! So who got our photos? They don't know. I've been calling the post office every stupid day, and all I get is "we'll look into it, and I'll call you back." Yesterday I was told that the carrier doesn't recall that package. DUH, how many packages do they handle a day?! Can't they track it?! It has confirmations, that should count as something...right?! So, needless to say, somebody in Layton, Utah is chillin with $100 worth of my engagement photos. I'm pretty sure THIS is how the term BRIDEZILLA came about!

Engagements and dresses...

It has been crazy lately! We had our engagements done, and it was interesting to say the least! We found two people that would do it for free. One of them makes you buy the prints, the other will give us the disc and copyrights. The first guy was Brian, and his company is momentcaptured.com. He was awesome, but I wish he was a bit more creative with the poses. I bought some of the prints from him. One of them is on the opening page, and this is another. I was told somebody thought I looked mean, I was kinda bummed at that!



The other person that did photos has not gotten back to us yet. I was a bit upset over this, but I can't say much since she didn't charge me! I contacted her today, she said I could pick them up on Thursday. YAY!!! I'll post some when I get them!

I had an appointment at David's Bridal last week to get an idea of wedding dresses I liked. I found a few! I for sure thought I needed my Maid of Honor (Katie) or my Bridesmaid (Dani) to be with me to help out! Katie is out of town on business, and Dani was sick. I had another appointment today, and Dani was to meet me there. Unfortunately, I got there and there was no Dani to be found. Since it was five minutes until my appointment, it was too late to reschedule and I had to go through with it alone again. I have another appointment for next week. Hopefully that one will go better! It's hard narrowing down the dresses you love when you're alone! I have 3 that I really liked. (At least I narrowed it down a little bit!)
