Our Engagement



I am SO excited to report that Ryan proposed in Montana this past weekend (and I obviously said yes)! It was truly a picture perfect engagement...although I suppose I am a bit bias. I knew that when the day came it would be special, but I was honestly blown away by the thought he put into it. We took a private guided snowmobile trip up Big Mountain. I was just enjoying the sunshine and the gorgeous scenery and had no idea that he was holding my ring the entire trip. Our guide, Bob, pulled off at a perfect spot so that we could "take some pictures". While I was getting Ryan's camera out to take a pic of him, he put my ring box in the snow. I was pretty surprised when I reached down to hand him his gloves and BONUS--found the ring. He asked me to marry him when we were knee deep in fresh powder and I answered with, "What do you think"...not really the most romantic acceptance, but like I would say no!!! I am super excited and will be sure to blog when we start making some plans. The first 2 pics are of the exact spot where it "All went down".

Taylor Wedding

Thanks John and Melissa for inviting us to share in your special day! Our first "Dallas Friends" wedding and we had a blast! You both looked gorgeous and Bryson was definitely the cutest ring bearer we've ever seen! Congratulations and Good Luck!

The Annual St. Patty's Day Parade on Greenville...What a fun time! I had to cut out early this year to see the LA Glaxy FC Dallas game, but it was worth it to see

MS 150

This May I’ll be cycling 150 miles through North Texas to raise funds for Multiple Sclerosis. I am currently training several hours a week so I have the hard part covered. Now I’m asking you to commit only a few short minutes to go to my link below and help my fundraising efforts. http://www.ms150.org/dallas/donate/donate.cfm?id=210872

As many of you may know, I was touched at a young age by one of my dance instructors who suffers from MS. Please help me to support the National MS Society’s efforts to end this devastating disease. I'll be sure to post pics after the event is over and I am immobile for a few days!!!

Care Coach Team

What a great group of women (Our Care Coach Team)!

I was inspired to start blogging by the passing of Baby Lilly. I have looked at her blog about 100 times this week. I realize how important it is to cherish your time here on earth and how neat it is to have a place to share life experiences with friends and family. Check out beautiful Baby Lilly's blog and continue to pray for Jennifer and Richard. What a sweet, sweet little girl! http://babylillyspad.blogspot.com/
