Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Update with Pictures

Here are a couple of the pictures from the engagement photo session. We got a CD with loads of pictures and it was really hard to pick which ones we liked best. There are too many really good ones to choose from. Our photographer, Peter, is amazing.

Here are a couple of my favorites:
A pretty good shot of Steven, look at the pure joy on his face!

I really like this picture of me, the lighting in that spot was really good.

We were actually chilling on the same park bench that we sat on while we waiting to graduate from OSU...so the whole photo shoot was pretty special because we did it on campus. We've got a lot of great OSU memories!
As for the update, we're doing pretty good... just finalizing details here and there. Our honeymoon is officially booked, we are going to Maui!! Also, we had a little Easter dinner at our place on Sunday and yesterday we celebrated Tara's 21st Birthday at Edgefield.
More to come...

Movie of the Month and Engagement Pics...

Well, we had a little photo shoot on Saturday down in Corvallis or for our engagement photos. Lots of people have asked me why we had these done. First, we needed a nice shot to send to the newspaper to announce our engagement and second, we don't have any nice formal pictures together. So, our photographer posted a couple of shots of us on his website and we're excited to get our CD in the mail soon.

Also, I started a club as one of my new year's resolutions. A movie of the month club. Its for people who enjoy light hearted comedy and/or wants someone to see chick flicks with.

I like to go on a Sunday, around 2 PM at Bridgeport Cinemas. We usually meet up about an hour or so before hand, get a bite to eat and then head into the movie.

I've even picked out the movies for the next...oh 6 months or so:

April: Baby Mama, opens 4/25/08
May: Made of Honor, opens 5/2/08 or What happens in Vegas, opens 5/9/08
June: Sex and the City, opens 5/30/08
July: Mamma Mia, opens 7/18/08
August: He's just not that into you, opens 8/1/08
September: The accidental husband, opens 8/22/08

I finalize the date about a week or two before hand and finalize the time about two to three days before hand.

If you're in Portland and something here strikes your fancy, let me know and I'll put you on my email list.

Happy Spring Weather!
