Engagement Pictures at Atlantic Beach!! :)

Yesterday we went to Atlantic Beach with Mary Elizabeth and Michael to get our engagement pictures taken. All morning it was rainy/cloudy so we just knew the humidity, wind and rain were going to leave our hair a disastrous MESS ... thankfully, it wasn't too bad! The closer we got to the beach, the more beautiful it got. It was in the seventies and sunny from 4:00 on ... and our pictures were at 7:15 - PRAISE the LORD!! As soon as we got down to the beach we hung out at my grandparent's trailor for an hour or two, got ready & went down to Fort Macon for the picture session. It couldn't have been a more beautiful place to get them done. Because there was no wind, there were a MILLION little bugs flying around (something like gnats) but they were driving us crazy - that would be the only complaint, however, we're hopeful that Greg can airbrush them out of our pictures - along with a few pounds and a good tan ;)

Here are a few we took before we went down to Fort Macon:

Mike, Mary E, Me & Jonathan

LIFE ... an update on the past few months :)

Sooo ... just to catch you up on the last few months of our lives, I'll give you one major detail. We're engaged!! (as of February 8th)- if you want to know details on how it happened go to www. theknot.com and type in Jonathan & Emily :) I must say I have the GREATEST fiance in the world. I'm sooo excited, not only about the next several months leading up to the wedding, but WAY more than that - the rest of our lives! :) I'll post a few pictures of the engagement as well as a few since then just to keep everybody on track and updated. (Ok Crystal - as of now, you're the only one I know with this thing ... :) sooo this if for you! - haha - but later this will come in handy to keep everybody else updated (10 years down the road when we have kids & stuff ... while crystal's having her 3rd and 4th)!

I got roped in :)

Hello hello!! This is my first post - I had no idea about this thing as of a few weeks ago - but Crystal roped me in! It took me a little while to figure out this thing, so I'm just now getting started. Anyway - I have a feeling there will be a post or two between now & December since we're getting married December 13th of this year, so keep a look-out!

Until then ... :)
