Details Are A'Changin' Folks

Not that this is a surprise to anyone....but Alex and I have decided to change our colors. GASP!!! We will be using white and a winter blue instead of trying to track down the 23253 different types of Tiffany's Blue things there are and color match things until our eyes fall out. Our new plan is to create a magical Winter Wonderland.  Also, we have almost definitely decided to use my church back home to get married in and have the reception at.  My mom is amazing and will be able to create magic out of anything!!! 

Bridal Party Dress Ideas

For Jennifer and Julianne I liked these ideas, but am not totally sold on any of these ideas. I do know that I want Julianne to have a white dress with accents of Tiffany Blue, and Jennifer to have a Tiffany Blue dress with accent of white. 

This dress is what I think Avery would look smokin' hot in. I have another dress that I would like to make this one look like. I would like to add Tiffany Blue 1/2' to 1'  stripe to the very top of this dress (all the way around), the same size strip around the waist that makes a flat bow, and then the bottom would be the really cool part. It would have a stripe of  mesh that you cant really see, then a stripe of Tiffany Blue, then another mesh strip, then a white stripe at the bottom to finish the dress up. 

I know this is a womans dress, but this is the style I think Kayler would look great in and love a lot. I also think Kayler could do some really cute Tiffany Blue shoes and a thick headband in the same color.

Chloe would look cute in this dress. Where there is black I would have Tiffany's Blue layered. 

Aubrey will have a dress also, but my mom has already got that for her so I did not have to make that choice too!!! 

No pressure...just some ideas that I think would look good on the girls :)

Pictures of us together & the engagement

how we met & the engagement

alex and i met in 2005 during our freshman year at texas tech. we met in the dining hall in the hulen/clemet dorms on campus.  we met trough mutual friends that lived down the hall. (thank you 5th floor girls!!!) i tried all spring semester to hook alex up with my roommate and other girls on the floor, thankfully nobody took me up on my match making.  we were friends for an entire school year and talked a lot (via text) over the summer. when we got back to school for our sophomore year is was very natural for us to start dating. we have been together since!!!

alex and i got engaged on march 28, 2008.  alex took me to dinner at a local steak house and said that he had dessert for me back at his apartment.  when we got back to his place there was no dessert!! i just figured he was playing another joke on me or whatever.  he said he had something for me in his room so i walked down the hall and turned to face his bedroom door that was covered in Tiffany blue wrapping paper with a big white ribbon. he had covered his room with roses and a ton of purple flowers on his dresser.  after all the mushy stuff some friends came over for cookies and bubbly!!! 

let the answers begin

SO its true. we are engaged. along with that comes all the questions from the friends and family about the details of the wedding.  if you know me or alex very well, you know that all the crazyness is not really our thing.  this is my solution to that is this blog. in an ideal world i will update this blog on a regular basis with any new details or decisions that we have made.  we are not in the super planning phase of this event yet but feel free to keep asking us all the goofy questions but you have been forwarned that we know very little thus far..........AVERY!!!!!! (i still love you)
