Engagement Pictures

Daniel and I took engagement pictures in Minnesota. His family has a farm and I thought it would be a neat place to take pictures. His cousin, Tori took the pictures and I thought she did a great job. I'm not too sure what you do with engagement pictures. I know they are for announcements in newspapers. We don't think it is necessary to advertise our engagement in the Houston Chronicle:) It was a fun day! I am off to finish packing for the move this weekend. It is hard to get motivated!!!

Past Experiences Lead Us to Future Events

As I am transitioning into being a wife:), I have taken the time to reflect on the past few years that have led me to being ready to marry Daniel. I have been single for 28 years. Daniel called me on my 28th birthday and we have been dating ever since then. My dating history consists of casual dating. I was never with anyone very seriously. I've dated guys for longer periods of time, but I didn't let it get serious. My family often said I was too picky. I never thought I was too picky. I knew what I wanted and I didn't see the point of being with someone I didn't intend to marry. It's interesting because Daniel and I have complete opposite dating histories. He was in a serious relationship for the last two years of high school into college years. After they broke up, he didn't date very much because he was very serious about school. I am thankful for the experiences and people that have led us to being ready for marriage and each other
