This week has been crazy busy! I am sure I will be doing most of the writing as David just edits! Which is great!

Tuesday we got engaged and now let the planning begin! Wednesday I bought tons of bridal magazines. Thursday we let it set in and went through the magazines together. Friday I asked my bridesmaids to be in my wedding. I sent them all cookie bouquets and they made it fine, but Denisse's couldn't make it on base! We are hoping she gets it today! I had to tell her what was going on so she would be on the lookout. I posted some pictures below of the ADORABLE cookie bouquets!! Friday we celebrated with my dad and his wife. Sat. we had a wedding party...congrats again Ryan and Rosa! Sunday we registered!!!!!!! It was so much fun! I think I may have gone a little crazy, but it sure was a blast! We registered at Crate and Barrel and Bed Bath and Beyond. We registered for gadgets and gizmo's of plenty!

My dad and Gina has graciously offered to host and engagement party and 3 of my bridesmaids emailed me today offering to host a shower! It is so exciting to be on the receiving end of this! We love it and we are so thankful for our wonderful family and friends!!

Welcome!

So after many people have been advising us to create a blog, we have decided this lovely Sunday night to go ahead and do so! So here we are...just blogging away! Thank you so much for joining us and this is such a great way to keep up with us over the next year and learn about all of our wedding festivities!

Many of you know, and many do not, but we got engaged Tuesday, May 12, 2009. It was such an amazing moment! David proposed to Brett outside in her backyard so that she wouldnt know anything was going on. She had no clue. They had eaten some delicious gumbo David made from scratch for dinner and were eating dessert! David went in to "take the trash out" which Brett thought was odd, and came back with a single rose and a card. She got teary eyed and thanked him graciously for the sweet gesture. Then all of the sudden, David got down on one knee, and proposed!! They were both crying and Brett couldn't believe what was going on. After many tears, she FINALLY said YES!

For those of you that dont already know, David and Brett have known each other for over 20 years, in and out of periods of life. They grew up down the street from each other, 5 or 6 houses down to be exact and were in the same group of friends growing up. David moved to north Houston and lost touch with many of his friends. Brett moved after 8th grade, but remained close friends with several of her classmates. After going to different middle schools and high schools, they BOTH ended up being Red Raiders at Texas Tech. Still, neither of them knew they were both in Lubbock in the SAME college at Tech. Both Human Science majors! David being a Hotel Restaurant Management major and Brett being a Human Development and Family Studies major...neither of them doing what they studied! As time passed by, they both went separate ways, but in February 2009, met back up on the internet social networking site, Facebook! It was a love story from the start! After 2 days, they knew there wasnt anybody else in the world for them and they would live happily ever after!!!
