FORT WAYNE, Ind. These two are getting married TOMORROW!:DThey live in Virginia… so, shooting their engagement session had to happen this week (we took them yesterday):)The weather was cold, damp and gloomy (wind chill 17°). You sure couldn’t tell that by looking at these photos… they were such good sports!!!!!

There aren’t many SUPER cool locations around Fort Wayne… and because of the DRAB weather… we had to do a lot of “thinking outside of the box” We were forced to find new stuff…. and we’re SO proud of the results.

We can’t WAIT for tomorrow:D

LOVE TO YOU GUYS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

 

Dave, Mike’s Dad, LOVES Christmas more than ANYONE I’ve EVER met! Every year he makes Christmas cookies and the whole family decorates them. This year only Dad, Jeffy and Greg participated because the rest of us were out of town.:(Karen, Mike’s mom, made a “blizzard” cookie and then ate it right away… so there are no photos of that:(What does a blizzard cookie look like? A mass of white icing:)

 

Here are a couple of Greg’s… The Colts and IU. He also made a Cubs and a Notre Dame cookie.

I’m back after one of the absolute BEST trips to K.C. EVER!:D

While there I visited my Aunt Karen, G-Mom, cousin Brittany and (DUH) best friend Corrie.

Last night, on the way home from the airport Mom, Mike and I went for pizza and then back to her place to celebrate Christmas. It was perfect.:)Mom, AS ALWAYS, went way above and beyond for us.:DFor my mom’s Christmas gift… we bought her a Mac Mini:)(Her old computer was SEVEN years old…) She needed to be able to see our blog more easily:D(she’s SUCH a faithful blog reader!!!) And by the way, to ANYONE who’s interested in switching to Mac… you can buy the Mac Mini for $600! Oh… and they’re FABULOUS!!!!!

And now… we’re in Fort Wayne with Mikey’s family for Christmas:)I love this family and can’t WAIT until tomorrow! AHHHHH… I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! This is the first Christmas since we’ve been married that I was able to see both families (we usually alternate every other Christmas).:DThis year I just HAD to visit KC.

People often ask me what brought me here to Indiana. Sometime this winter I’ll explain… (hey, I’ve gotta update the blog with SOMEthing during the slow season!:D)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

I’ll try to write more tomorrow… Oh, and be on the look out for our Christmas card (a few days late… EEKS!)

PS. I used the biggie camera to take the above shot. To get the proper exposure I had to keep the shutter open for half a second @ f 1.4… you should have seen me steadying my 5D on my shoulder so that the photo wasn’t fuzzy… Sometimes I’m SO awkward! I think that shot was taken at 30,000 feet… luckily it was a VERY clear night.:D

KANSAS CITY, Mo. MY BEST FRIEND IS HAVING A BAAAAAAAAABY!!!!!!! I am SOOOO freaking excited! Corrie and I have been best friends since 7th grade… we’re both only children… so, she’s the closest thing I have to a sister. When I found out the big news, I immediately started planning a little trip just for me to come visit her here (Mikey’s in Fort Wayne). AHHHH!!!!! SHE GOT A BABY IN HER BELLY!!!!! I’ve been telling everyone I know (and even people I don’t know) about her being pregnant. “Hi, my best friend has a baby in her belly.” I’M SO EXCIIIIIITED!!!!!!!!!

Corrie loves when I tell her funny stories. Stories like babysitting while the cat was puking the whole time… and I followed the cat around with a paper plate because I didn’t know what to do… you had to be there… it was SO funny! She knows my stories better than I do. We have our own language… it annoys everyone around us. We don’t care… To us, we’re HILARIOUS!:DWe call each other “grigh” in a growling tone… we’ve been calling each other that for YEARS! In the 9th grade, they canceled school and we played dress up in my mom’s box of clothes from the 80′s. We like to have parties… but we’re the only ones there and they usually only last for 10 seconds. We like to play the game “SORRY!” Corrie likes to make fun of me for my wardrobe from the 8th grade (I had orange shoes that were too big… GET OVER IT!). We LOVE to hang out at G-Moms house and eat cookie dough. She was an AMAAAAZING athlete (got “Athlete of the Year” all four years) and I went to every game to include the away games (I was voted “Most Spirited” because I was the biggest fan:)). In the 11th grade her jerk boyfriend broke up with her and we drove to St. Joe… I played her female empowerment songs (we still love those songs). That same year Jake Wood (meanie!) threw a Subway wrapper at my head and ALLLL of the “cool” seniors laughed at me…. Corrie was sitting with me and I told him off. Corrie thought they were going to “kick our ass after school.” They didn’t, they were probably scared of us. HA!

She has and and always will be my best friend. I can’t wait to tell all of our funny stories to her son or daughter. I hope they don’t think we’re dorky… but, let’s face it, WE ARE!

She and Jeff are PERFECT for each other! He’s genuine, patient, funny, talented and OH SO handsome. I love to watch them together. Their baby is due July 1…:DAHHHH!!!!! Don’t you guys worry… there will be LOTS of photos of THAT BABY!

LOVE YOU GRIGH!!!!
