Trip to Temple, finally!

This weekend Chase and I were able to get away from our chaotic lives to go visit his family. It was so much fun but the weekend flew by way too fast. We tried to go take pictures out at Tenroc but there was a wedding going on and I felt weird walking up on their "big day" to take pictures! haha Only 14 months til our wedding! We have been talking lately about how we wish we could have planned it sooner but having it then just seems like the best thing to do. I am sure that this next year will fly by anyway. Here are a few pictures that we took at The Cotton Club on Saturday night with the Karls!

Me and Chase

My Future Sister :)

Paisley Grace!!!

I got a phone call at 3am this morning, March 30th 2009.....Jennifer said the words I had been very anxious to hear for a while now, "We're at the hospital..." She had to get off the phone in a hurry because the doctor came in to talk to her...so I was left hanging!!! I text Burnham and let her know what was going on so I didn't have to hurry to school. Once I got to the hospital Jennifer was very calm and doing great. I ened up staying in the room with her all throughout the delivery until Paisley Grace came into the world at 1pm! She opened her eyes right away and was looking around at all of the bright lights and smiling faces! She barely cried at all and Austin said "let's keep it that way"....haha yeah right Austin! Her fingers and toes are long and skinny like her mommy and daddy! She definitely has Jennifer's mouth and lips, but she has Austin's eyes and lack of hair! Aunt Becca loves you little Paisley!!!

I was happy to finally hold my little niece I have been very anxious to meet!

Eyes wide open while daddy was holding her! Awwwww

Scrunched up little face!!!!!!!!!

Aaron Watson in Magnolia

We go to Aaron's concerts every chance we get these days! Jennifer and Austin told us that they wanted us to go see him in Magnolia with them so we were there! I wanted to make a sign that said, "Aaron, will you sing at our wedding?"...and then after he saw it flipped it over and had it say "Pro-bono!!!" haha I was getting a little nervous while we were out there though cuz Jennifer kept saying she was having contractions...stay in there a little longer Paisley!

Jennifer's Baby Shower

Our church in Porter hosted a baby shower for Jennifer this month. It is always exciting to see all of the cute baby clothes that Paisley will be wearing once she gets here! Jennifer is due April 12th...which is just around the corner!

Me and Chloe Bow...she wants her cousin to get here soon!

Chloe wanted my earrings!!! That could hurt!

Finally Feels Like Summer!

Chase and I have both been very busy with school so it is hard to find time to kick back and relax. We were very excited that we finally had a weekend off AND the sun was shining....so we spent the day at the pool! Hopefully there are many more to come this Summer so we can both keep a nice tan :)

Happy to find time to relax together!

I wish we could do this EVERYDAY!

Save the Date!!!

Chase and I went to visit TenRoc in Salado, TX this past weekend and I fell in love with it! It is way out in the country away from everything and the outside set-up for the ceremony is so naturally beautiful and different than anything I have ever seen. After making 2 trips out there we both decided that we were not going to find anything else that we liked this much so we called the owners and reserved our wedding for June 19, 2010! Mark your calendars!!!

This is the entrance to the reception hall!

This is the kitchen area where the catering will set up.

This is the inside of the reception hall....but all of our decorations will be pink and black!

This is the outside patio area.

Bride's Suite...it is attached to the back of the reception hall.

The Groom's Cabin with plenty of things to keep the guys entertained and out of trouble!

This is the ceremony set-up. White chairs will be placed on each level of the stadium seating. I am putting white lights around the skinny trees with pink tool material wrapped around them. There will be pink rose petals floating in the stream as well as on the concrete area.

There is a long stone walkway that curves down the bottom that I will walk down! I want to put candles all around the edges of the stone because we are having a night wedding.

Bridesmaids Dresses

I found a dress that I LOVE for my SEVEN bridesmaids! Actually, Chases's mom found it in a catalog while we were shopping in Waco this weekend. I tracked it down on-line but now the tricky part is finding it in a store so all of the girls can try it on. I am going to keep looking since it is still early but I have a feeling I will stick with this one! Chase's sister, Amanda, is a pro at making jewelry so I am going to get her to help me with the bridesmaids necklaces and earrings. It was VERY hard to choose my bridesmaids because I have SO many friends so I tried to keep it in the family to keep it simple. Maid of Honor: Katherine (sister), Bridesmaids: Jennifer (sister), Michelle (sister), Amanda (Chases's sister), Miranda (friend and brother's GF), Allie (friend from college), and Hilary (cousin).

It is the PINK one!
