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!!!
