My AMAZING Man!

Wed was my handsome hunk's day off. (He was nice enough to rub it in how he slept until 10:30 am.)

When I came home for lunch, he locked me out, pointed to my "no soliciting" sign, and said "Sorry".

What a tease! Ok - locking me out didn't last long and when I came in, I was greeted with the aroma of a mouth watering pizza. It was DELISH! He's definitely a keeper!

After lunch and a wii sport bowling competition, (which I lost) I went back to finish my work day.



When I came home from my long work day, he raced out to the garage to help me bring in stuff - including a large wedding present from my boss.
When I entered the house, it was unusually dark. I walked into the kitchen and flipped the light on - talk about ruining a surprise (I'm blaming it on my rusty observation skills) there was a candlelit dinner waiting for me!

Tender chicken breast with a mandarin orange topping, sauteed portobello mushrooms, yellow squash, and artichoke hearts, breadsticks, and tossed salad. Every bite was a taste of heaven! We were accompanied by romantic Celtic music.

What a perfect end to the work day! He even made dessert! I was too stuffed to have any right then, so after some errands, he surprised me with this!It was DIVINE! I don't remember the name of this masterpiece, (it starts with a 'c'), but it's a decadent French dessert.

What am I going to do with him?
With the way he treats me, I really wonder if I'm just dreaming... and if I am, I hope I never wake up!

Found some more Virginia pics

I didn't realize that I had a few more pics of my trip to Virginia.
(Don't you just love camera phones?)Common ground squirrels scavenging leftover Lunch from the night before. (Turns out they're considered a pest in Virginia.)

Getting ready to go to Jamestown for the next day. Outfits were lined up the night before. The cousins were adorable in matching clothes!

Chocolate cake for the adults

Bunny cake for the kids!


The running joke for the week was when I was asked if there's any food I didn't do well. I replied Ham. Turns out that was the main course of the spectacular Easter Dinner. To play up the joke I was presented (on a silver platter no less) with Micky Mouse chicken nuggets.

Closeup of my main course!

Beautiful Easter table setting (the adult table)

Carolynn out did herself! This decorative sweet treat was dessert!

Invites are out!

Yea! The invites are all sent out. (Ok - a few are being hand delivered... and I hope they're out by now and a few went in the mail yesterday.) But I'm hoping we didn't forget anyone. If we did, (and know we're terribly sorry) here's your official invite!

**My friend Holly designed the invites. We love how they turned out. Thanks again Holly!**

Engagement Pics!

Here are some of my favorite engagement pics by the multi-talented Clarissa Law!

Ring!

For those of you who haven't seen my ring, this is it!
Mac did a fantastic job picking it out
with the criteria of something affordable and something that cannot be used as a weapon.
Here's a close-up:
