Ok so I have a post I have been thinking about but haven't manage to get a picture yet of the item I want to talk about.. But watch for the post about our book of life, it will be coming soon.
So as most of you can at least tell by the picture my love (given name Lyle) has a beard. Everyone we know pretty much has an opinion on the beard. Many don't love the beard, but as he knows and in the words of Ke$ha, "I love your beard." He knows how much I love the beard and this works well because he loves the beard too.
His lower face had not seen daylight for 10 months....until today that is. Now I promise that as soon as I can get the picture off his phone I will post his baby smooth face on the blog.
The reason for the shave... Movember. His school program has had two professors battle prostate cancer in the last year, one of whom lost his life to the battle. SO in honor of these men the boys are fundraising and growing moustaches. I am still not sure how I am going to feel when Lyle has a full grown creeper stache, but I will love him anyway. I just might take a lot of photos for future use...like the wedding slideshow :)
So tonight I got some Skype time in order to check out the face, I was unsure of how I would feel. Obviously I would still love him, I was just afraid I might be shocked. It's been a year and 8 months since I last saw him with no facial hair. Seeing him today just made me happy, I will love that face clean shaven or fully bearded and lets be honest probably any stage in between. He makes me smile everyday, I guess that's why I am marrying him!
P.s. picture now added, this is Lyle and his cat Polly.

Welcome to our Blog :)
I have always thought about creating a blog, but always put it off. I guess now is as good a time as any to jump on the band wagon. I figure if nothing else it will be like a journal for me/us. Neither of us is very good at journaling yet, though we want to be in our own way.
I am going to use the blog to share fun things about us, crafty stuff (for as crafty as I get), and just sharing stuff that I think is cool.
For those of you who know us, we are wedding planning. The wedding is 6 months and 8 days away according to my dashboard. Lyle laughs at me for counting down... but hey I have counted down to less exciting things than my own wedding! Now as far as wedding plans go, I think I am pretty ahead of the game. I had my dress before we were engaged and in the last 3 months we have accomplished the following:
Ok this will be the end of my first post. Welcome to our little world :)

I had my dress before we were engaged and in the last 3 months we have accomplished the following:
- bought his ring
- bought his suite/shirt/tie
- bought both our shoes... but mine still need to be painted
- bought all the groomsmen attire
- picked out bridesmaid's dresses... but not ordered
- made the demo centerpiece and are slowly buying vases as we get the sweet 40% off coupons from Michaels
- ordered and received my hair piece, which is super cute and sparkly! yay for Etsy!
- ordered our wedding flowers
Ok this will be the end of my first post. Welcome to our little world :)
