Mr. and Mrs. McDonald...

We are back!! and oh what a wonderful time it was. The wedding was absolutely amazing. Bo and I had the best time. It was what we wanted and more. We were able to spend time with his parents and my parents, our family and our friends!! I understand what everyone says now when they say I don't remember much. I really don't! It is like it is slow motion, I remember doing the activities, but not sure who I saw or who I spoke to. :) The best was the day before I was able to talk to my friend Kimmy who has been living in Africa for a while. She called me on my cell phone from skype, which was such a blessing!

After the wedding we went on our quick getaway to the mountains. It is a place called Butterfly Creek Inn. You have to visit it if you have a chance. It is amazing! We were pampered by Sarah, the owner. She treated us as her family and took the best care of us! She fed us and talked to us, had coffee with us. Just like family! Please guys if you have a chance take a look at her site http://www.butterflycreekinn.com/ and take a weekend to go and see her if you can!!

Thank you to all of our friends and family who care so much for us and took the time to share with us this ever so special weekend!

Here are a few pics from the weekend and as we have more I will post them!

First pic is of me and Randall; my cousin!

Bo and I eating some cake and getting in the car to head over the reception!

My sweet friends Cammie and Chrissy, my honoraries!

New Moon!!!

I know that as a 30 year old woman this might be inappropriate to post, but law I couldn't help it!

Last night Julie and I went to see the midnight showing of New Moon! I have to say I was excited but I had waited too long in between readings and I had to go and read a short synopsis of it before we went. First we went to Barnes and Noble for coffee and the man at the door wouldn't let us in.. It was only 9:58!!! Gah!

Once we got to the theatre we waited in line for an hour to get into theatre 2. Julie and I had a little popcorn and drinks to keep us occupied.. The only thing that was bad was the fact that once the movie started I started to dose! This was a great movie, but there were parts that I found were hard to follow because they were SOOOO SLOW!! I have to agree with Julie about the Volturie and the werewolfs.. They were so neat looking with the makeup was amazing! During the fighting scenes it so reminded me of The Matrix!!

Thank Julie for coming with me and yes I will be right there with you again when Eclipse comes out!!!

PS It might be best to take a cat nap before you go; so you don't dose and awake at parts thinking Oh No! What did I miss?... =)

Engagement Pics..

We finally have them back and Leslie did an awesome job! She is so amazing with what she can do. Every picture that she took was done great with the lighting and the time of day and all the elements to make the best ever! Here is our favorite pic and then the link to our flicker page so you can see them all.

Oh the life of a politician...

Over the past couple of days I have seen a different spark in Bo's eye!!! He is a true politician at the depths of his soul. I have seen him look like a kid in a candy store while working. We have been working on mailbox hangers for Billy Webber. He is running for the school board race on Tuesday! Bo used to do this when he lived in Columbia and he ran for Town Council. He is always in the mix when it comes to politics in the news. I just have realized what I am getting myself into...

I love to watch him when he is happy and he is definately in hog heaven these days!

Two more steps closer...

This weekend was another step in the wedding process. Bo and I went on Friday night and picked out the tux that we wanted the groomsmen to wear. We had a fun time and I have to say the women at Thomas & Sons were very enjoyable also. They helped us and told us honestly what they thought. They also kept saying how fun we were together. Here is a pic of Bo trying on his coat!

I had forgotten also to mention that I finally did get his ring... It makes it more and more concrete each day that we do something and one step closer to I DO!

And they are done!

Sorry been gone for so long.. Seems like there is something to do every day and then when the day comes to an end, I lie in bed thinking.... I should have blogged today. But with that my invitations are ordered, addressed, and stuffed. Next on the agenda is the stamps! Once those are done, all of you my friends will recieve an invite to our special day! I just love the invitations. They are contemporary in some sorts, but also traditional. I can't wait for them to get to your house so you can enjoy!

Mostly done...

Sorry it has been so long since I have blogged. It seems that since school has started that I have barely any time to breathe. Once I get up and get going I am full force until I crash at night and then start all over again. But anyways.. We are mostly done with wedding planning. We are kinda down to the things that can't be done and you have to wait. Remember the hurry up and wait situation. We are there. Just have to wait until something else needs to be done.

Many showers are coming our way. We are blessed to have amazing friends who care so deeply for us and are giving us showers. As they come along I will post pics for you to enjoy.

On Saturday we are going to have our engagement pictures taken. We are so excited about them. Leslie Dye is doing them and she is a great contemporary photographer with so many new ideas about photos!!! We will share our pics as they come back!!
