I recently had my first wedding shower on my side of the family. My aunt Lisa had it at her house on the river and we had it on the dock. It turned out to be a nice day. It didn't start raining until it was over so that was good. We received lots of good stuff especially kitchen goodies. Here is everything I can remember...cookware, frying pan, utensil set, measuring cups, sheets, mattress pad, gift cards, two clocks, crock pot, flatware, blankets, cake platter, glasses and I am probably leaving some stuff out but that is what I can remember.
A house update:
My dad has graciously taken the rest of this week off to finish my kitchen floors at the house. He is restaining them a darker color. He has also done all of the majority of the work in the house that would have otherwise had to have been hired out. He is too talented and it gets him a lot of extra work :) Brandon has pressure washed the entire house and back deck. It looks so good :) Now we are working on staining the deck. Hopefully we will be able to finish it by this weekend.
Honeymoon update:
We finally booked a honeymoon. We decided to stay in Destin for the week after the wedding. It will be easier for us and we are excited about it.
We are trying to decide on where to go for our honeymoon but are having trouble decide on the perfect place. Some of the destinations discussed have been Mexico, the Bahamas, Las Vegas, and Destin, Fl. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions they want to offer????? Please leave me a comment.
The wedding plans have been set into motion. We have decided to have our ceremony in Florida at a place called Bentleys on the Bay. I am very excited because the place is beautiful! I have my dress already and the bridesmaids dresses ordered. I have pictures of cakes I like but I am having trouble getting a picture of Brandon and I for our save the dates. It's sad to say but we don't have a lot of recent pictures together. I hate taking pictures because I am so UN photogenic. Hopefully we can get one taken soon. That is about all I have planned so far. I will keep the blog updated. :)
Cannon William Haun was born today at 8 pounds and 191/2 inches long. He is so precious and cute. He has a head full of black hair! Carter has stayed with us all day and he has definitely kept us on our toes. Mom and Dad and I took him to Toys R Us before we took him to meet his little brother. He managed to get a new battery operated 4-wheeler and it wasn't even his birthday or Christmas...it must be a grandbaby thing! ;)
As most of you know, Brandon and I have been dating for a long time. We started dating while I was a sophomore in high school and have been a pair ever since. Well, last night he asked me to marry him with this gorgeous ring!! We were fixing to head down to Chattanooga for the fireworks at Coolidge and out of no where he asked me! His goal the whole time was to surprise me so he definitely succeeded with that. Here are a few pics from our night. :)
