Jack

So Chad and I figured we didnt have enough going on in our lives right now so we decided to adopt a 1 1/2 year old black lab named jack!! I was a little nervous at first because he is very large and weighs 102 pounds but he is sooo sweet!!! He fits in just right with bella and baylee!!

Even dad agrees hes a good dog... he let him in the house!!!

So as far as wedding planning goes Chad and I went and picked out our wedding bands today. That was very exciting, Chad didnt even get nervous trying his on :)

We booked a band for the wedding check out Ryan Kinder
Thats it for now!!!

Our Engagement Shoot!!

At exactly 200 days until the wedding our engagement pictures finally happened!! It was totally worth the wait!!! I have to be honest Im not made for the camera and photo shoots are not my thing. The weather was awesome and the scenery was amazing. Check them out!!

Thanks Chad for being my amazing fiance through these pictures!!! :)

getting caught up... finding a band!!

So I havent blogged in an almost a month but to get caught up we have done so much over the past few weeks. We ordered my cake from Barbs cakes on september 21, we have an idea of what we want for chads cake. We had our planning session with gabrella manor on the 23rd and went over every single detail of the wedding. I really feel like everything is falling so quickly and easily into place. The only thing that keeps holding us up is all this rain, the engagement pictures have been postponed twice :( oh well we have plenty of time to get those done!! Somewhere in all of this me and malori went to Bellas bridesmaid and tried on several of the dresses. I fell in love with three dresses but we have settled on one, I cant wait to see everyone in them!!! They are adorable!! We ordered Annas junior bridesmaid dress on sunday!!! Malori helped me out and found the exact same color dress that will match the bridesmaids dresses and she looks adorable. Mom ordered her mother of the bride dress last week. Oh and this afternoon I picked up the very large box of wedding invitations!! So the only major thing left is finding a band.... we are heading out tonight to listen to a jazz band. any suggestions?? This has been the hardest decision for us well maybe more for me!!
I dont have many pictures that I can post because thats what the wedding is for but here is a sneak peak of our wedding invitation!!!

A full week of wedding planning....

We have a super busy week ahead....

Tomorrow Chad and I are having our engagement pictures (if the weather doesnt rain us out) done by Kellen Coldiron. We are really excited but Im nervous at the same time, Im not sure what to expect. Monday and tuesday morning mom and I are doing some cake tasting and then heading to look at wedding invitations. Tuesday afternoon malori and I are headed to Bella Bridesmaid to check out this bridesmaid dress I found online!!

Goodbye summer

Saying goodbye to summer this year is a little harder than normal we have so many great memories. I have enjoyed our first 3 months of being engaged, wow time really has flown. Only eight more months until Ill be Mrs. Lindsey!!!!

Right now Chad and I are on a family vacation with my mom, dad and brother oh and of course Bella. Its bellas first trip to the beach and lets just say she isnt enjoying it like I had hoped she would. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
