Engagement Pictures/Engagement Party

Engagement Pictures

We asked Jason to take some engagement pictures of Justin and I.  A few months ago, they made an awesome purchase in getting a top-of-the-line digital camera, that seems to take the most amazing pictures....And it does! After church on sunday with it being just a little windy outside, we took a few minutes to pose for the camera. It's hard to capture the excitement we felt on the day of our engagement but with these pictures you can see how much in love we are. This was a fun day, I mean,  how often do you have an excuse to set aside an afternoon completely dedicated to capturing fabulous pictures of each other!  We have another photo shoot planned this weekend at rocks state park if the weather permits.  Down below are just a few of the many pics that were taken. 







The Party


My parents threw Justin and I an engagement party on Saturday, March 15th. We are so grateful that our families have had the opportunities to spend time getting to know one another before the big day. It seems like in today's society, the parents first meeting is on the wedding day! We are both truly blessed with wonderful families who love us and support us and care enough about us to make the effort to get to know each other. Our families are so important to both of us and we treasure the time that we spend with each person.
