Kyle's already seen it, so it's not a big deal. I am absolutely in love with it! I want to wear it all the time, haha.

Photographer: Missy Eyre. She's been one of my really good friends since high school, and is a really talented photographer. Go here to see her work

and go here to see some of our engagements

The next things to get figured out are our decor for the reception, the food for the reception, and the flowers. And matching clothes for everyone. I'm mostly only worried about matching colors, not so much as having the exact same thing.

So there you go! A small update on the wedding plans of Britt and Kyle :)

GRE and Halloween!

Just as a quick update, Kyle took the GRE (on Halloween!) and did awesome! He was in the 90th percentile for Verbal, and 80th percentile for Quantitative! Now he's just getting a list of grad schools compliled, and he'll be applying to them shortly! Some of the schools he is looking at are Alliant International University in San Diego, University of Houston, a school in Florida (I don't remember off the top of my head) and a few others... So it will be exciting to see where we end up!
After he got out of the GRE we ate dinner, carved a pumpkin (it said Kyle heart Britt on it) and we watched Secret Window.
This has been a pretty chill week for the two of us, which is nice.
We're just trying to get more ideas together for our wedding :)

Engagements!

So, as you can see, we received our engagement photos back!
If you click on the slideshow, it will take you to the online album, where you can view them larger.
Missy Russell Eyre (mrussellstudios.blogspot.com) took our photos, and we love them! Miss has been one of my good friends since our junior year of high school, and she's just great :)

Just some thoughts

Ok, as a bit of an update... We had our engagement pictures taken by Missy. We're going to pick up the CD of edited pictures tonight, so I will put some of those up within the next day or two!
I have picked out my wedding dress, and I am in love with it! We're also picking that up tonight! I am so excited! Oh, and one more thing, I have my temple dress too! My mom had a few, and one of them is very pretty and simple, just how I like things, so that's the dress I am going to be sealed in, as well as just use for my temple dress.
Lately we've just been hanging out with our families a lot! While Kyle's mom was in town, we were able to go out to lunch with her on Saturday. The next day we went up to Nathan and Melanie's and had dinner with them, Mom Hanson, and Alan and Jess. That next Saturday we went back up and had dinner and watched the BYU game. And then the next day we were able to go to Layla and Malia's (Kyle's cousin's twins) baby blessing, which was so fun.
Yesterday we went to church with my mom to watch Charity in her primary program, which was so cute! Kyle and I made dinner for my mom and we just hung out there.
Oh, and an update on my ring... Apparently the manufacturing company will send it at the end of this week, and then it will be to Sierra-West by the beginning of next week.
Keep your fingers crossed for that!

Meeting of the Mothers

Saturday Britt and I had lunch with my mom and hers! It was great. Britt finally got to meet my Mom. She is really nice. Like me. Hmm, maybe thats why I turned out to be such a nice fellow. So that was really good. I miss having my parents around, but they like Oklahoma so that is good (Remember how BYU beat OU, I totally do!). We had a good lunch and we talked about important stuff...I think, but I don't really remember....Anywho it was fun and our mothers talked and talked and talked! We both have great Moms.

Today we are supposed to take some pictures for those things you send to people. The ones that invite them to eat chocolate eclairs and bring you gifts when you get married!! Yeah those ones. Apparently its a big deal. I'll try and look nice but lets be honest no one is going to be looking at me anyways. Duh. I know I won't be... Yeah, I think she is cute.

Hmm other than that life is busy busy busy. I'm preparing for the GRE on Halloween (Its the bye in the football schedule). Ugh. I should probably be taking a practice test for it right now. FOIL, order of operations, all that junk that I forgot a long time ago and I really don't want to remember.

So I think I shall end this post, but tomorrow we will have been engaged for a whole month!! Only like 6 1/2 more to go.
