Wedding Photos

Our wedding was July 17, 2010.  It was the best day of my life.  I’m so grateful that we hired a photographer to capture the day for us!! Here are some of my faves:

We’re Engaged!

Last night I came home from work, pulled into the garage and hanging from the ceiling was a huge diamond ring (Ryan installs exterior signs for a living – he probably snagged this from a Helzberg, Bailey Banks in Biddle, or something…).  I thought for sure he was pranking me.  Nope.  I walk in the house and there are dozens of flowers and candles all over the place.  He had music playing and a glass of wine ready for me.  I was speechless.  I could tell he was super nervous and excited!  On the kitchen table was a pile of about 50 ring boxes.  Each box had a small piece of paper that said something he loved about me and our relationship, and each box made me cry (tears of happiness of course!):

Then, I opened up a box with a real sparkly diamond ring!  He took it out of my hands, got down on one knee, I accidentally gave him my right hand, we both laughed.  Then, the popped the question! Obviously I said yes.

We went to celebrate at the Farinas Winery in Grapevine!  Such a wonderfully romantic evening!  Now the planning begins!

All Set Up and Ready to Go!

My New Year’s Resolution was to use my own skills and possesions to make extra income.  I tried Ebay and Craigslist, both were fun and worked well.  My newest venture is a little different, and may go somewhere.

I’ve signed on to run a storefront with my mom at a local antique mall.  My mom is an interior designer, and was looking for a place to showcase some of her work.   And there’s never been a better time to become a small business owner right? (sarcasm) No, but really, it’s a great fit because I don’t have to “run” the store.   That’s all done for me.  All I have to do is supply the products…which if any of you know me (and Ryan) there is NO shortage of beautiful interior design treasures.  If any of you are ever in the Colleyville/Grapevine area be sure to stop by Vineyard Antiques and check out our shop!

So wish me luck.  Who knows where this will lead?  And if you need your house decorated/arranged, let me know…I can send you some examples her work.
