Since it’s been a while we are going to include a few pictures of what we have been up to lately. We went strawberry picking a few weeks ago with my family who was in town from Iowa, most recently we have been hanging out at Adam’s parents house on the lake and boating, and last weekend we made a trip to Branson, MO to visit my grandmother.

This summer has been so busy for us playing volleyball and kickball and trying to take 2 or 3 courses to get our MBAs. However, we have learned our lesson and are going to take a semester off to just relax!

This December we will be going down to Aruba for my sister’s wedding. She got engaged a month after Adam and I so we have been busy getting ready for her wedding, as it is coming up much quicker!!

Other than that, we have just been enjoying life with our families, especially watching all the little ones growing up so quickly!!

We are truly blessed!

House

Here are a few pictures of our house. We have the most beautiful landscaping and the flowers have become even more bright and full as the summer has gone on. It is a bit of a chore to keep it up, but when we see it in full bloom it is all worth it!!

Reception Hall :)

Hello all! I know its been a while since we updated…however not too much has been going on in the wedding arena lately. With the exception of we did book our hall…yay! We will be having our reception at Boulder Pointe in Oxford, Michigan on October 2, 2010. So at least there will be a reception even if we don’t get the church booked that day

I have also gone out a few times to look at some of the wedding dresses. I have been accompanied by my lovely bridesmaids, Michelle, Jennifer, Lissa, Cassie and Chelsea…at least once! My mom has been a big help, of course, in letting me know exactly how she really feels about the dresses…which I appreciate mom Also, my 2 month old nephew Wyatt has joined us each time, he is very good at dress shopping, he loves it!

I would post some pictures of my potential dresses up here but I know that Adam will cheat and look at them so I can’t do that…sorry!!

I’m so excited to have all my sisters as my bridesmaids, I am incrediably blessed with 6 sisters to celebrate my special day and support me for the rest of my life. I could not have picked a better wedding party! I love each and everyone of you for who you are and what you bring to Adam and my life. We are so honored to have you standing up with us.

That’s all for now!! We will try and be better at updating more than once every 2 months

Updates coming soon….

Both Christy and I have been looking at reception halls and Churchs and soon (mid July) will have both selected. I just wanted to update all who have been looking at this blog for updates, we have not forgotten about it .

The $20 she owes me…

If you all were wondering, Christy did try to pay me the $20.00 she owed me from the totally unfair bet I made with her. However, I did reject it saying that it was not a fair bet at all…Anyways, the look on her face after I asked her was worth way more than the $20.00 we bet…

The Dive

Adam and I decided that since it appears that everyone who has a life changing event occur in their lives begins blogging, well that we should too.

On May 24th 2009 Adam proposed to me…YAY!! In true Christy fashion, I was crabby. We were driving back from my sister Jen’s house and it was late. For those of you who don’t know me, I do really well without a lot of sleep for about 2 days and then…well I’m not so nice to be around. So I had been up late the past few nights and was extremely grumpy.

As we are driving back to the house, Adam asks me if I want to watch tv with him when we got back…I don’t think I could have answered no any quicker. I was exhausted and I just wanted to sleep! He proceeded to try to convince me that I should watch tv with him. I vehemently disagreed and told him I was going to be insanely crabby if he didn’t just leave me be.

He put $20 on it that I wouldn’t. A bet in my mind I could not lose, so I took that bet! (Easiest $20 I ever made) I also couldn’t help but inform him that it was the dumbest bet he has ever made because not only was I going to be really grumpy and crabby but he was essentially paying me $20 to do so!!

So we get home and I walk in the door and flip on the light. On the kitchen table is a teddy bear that is holding a heart that says, “When I count my blessings I count you twice” and there is a box in front of him. I just froze. Adam took the box got down on one kneed and asked me to marry him!

Of course I said yes, otherwise we wouldn’t be blogging. I was estatic…until he smirks.

“I think you owe me $20!” Smart butt!!

So that is the story of how we got to this point. In my book that seems pretty significant. So we are going to keep you all updated on the wedding planning and well, our lives in general. Adam is even buying a camera to keep the pictures updated!

For now here is the beautiful ring that Adam picked out all by himself! I have to say he did an excellent job
