Engagement Pictures

Phew!  I finally have time to myself again.  My work's annual conference is over and I am somewhat back to normal and I have a chance to blog about our engagement pictures.  WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!  And Marcin was such a good sport about it all.  The weather was nice, the sun was shining, but boy was it windy.  My hair was a giant knot all day!  I almost cried when I brushed it. 

We started the day by meeting up with Sarah and her husband, John at the Wildwood sign in Wildwood, NJ.  Well, actually we met on the highway coincidentally on the way down!  Hanging out at the sign was so much fun.  (Maybe someone saw us on the live webcam!)  We took pictures on the giant beach balls, and I was even standing in one of the letters at one point!  Here is a sneak peak of these

Then it was off to wander down the boardwalk.  I was on a mission to find some skee-ball to play, but no arcade was close to where we were.  I was walking in some crazy heels and they kept getting stuck in the boards!  But Sarah, being the great photographer that she is, found some great spots on the boardwalk to take some shots.  here is one on a bench (check out the shoes!) and one by the Convention Center

We took a lot more on the boardwalk, but these are only the sneak peak from Sarah.  I promised her I wouldnt be the crazy bride who stalks her for the proofs everyday, even though some days I kind of want to be :)

Then it was off to the beach to attempt to not be blown away (literally!)  This was so much fun!  in the following picture, that's my ring in the sand and Marcin and I are making the shadow heart :)

notice the rubberband from my hair on my finger - Sarah, we need to photoshop this out! ;-)

We ended the day at Flip Flopz with beer and burgers!  Marcin told Sarah and John that it's his favorite bar in the whole entire world!!!  It was such a great day.

And Sarah, I promise you I am waiting as patiently as possible :)

6 months!!

WOW!  Where have the last 18 months gone?  I cannot believe 6 months from today we will be getting married.  I am really excited, but stress also started to set in this morning, there is still so much to do!  

On my drive in to work this morning I was trying to find a radio station with a good song and I turned on 96.5 and they were playing The Way I Are!  Marcin and I used to listen to this song ALL THE TIME and we made sure it was on the must play music list for the wedding - so I think it was a sign that it was playing this morning!

Most of the big stuff is done.  We purchased the invitations a couple weeks ago - oops scratch that, I purchased the invitations a couple weeks ago with the help of my mom :) Marcin, I hope you like them!  I am so excited about them, they are simple and elegant.  I went in wanting the pocketfold invitations but I knew that I didnt have the patience to DIY them and I couldnt justify spending that amount of money on invitations that will be thrown away to have them done professionally.  So I found traditional styled invites with their own twist of uniqueness.  (Is uniqueness a word?  Oh well, it is now!)

The last thing we have to do is finish our registry and go pick out the tuxedos.  As soon as those 2 things are done, I will feel better and will start crossing the little things off the list. Oh the list!  I feel like I keep adding things to it, instead of crossing them off.  I now have 91 open items of 116.  Oh boy, we still have a long way to go. 

But that's ok, today I am not going to dwell on that.  Today I am going to sit back and relax (ha! that's a joke since my work conference is 10 days away and my team is scheduling 800 customer meetings before it) and think about all of the fun we are going to have and that Marcin and I will be husband and wife 6 months from today!
