Engagement Pictures by Andrea

We just took our engagement photos last weekend...and after much debate over all the little details (I bugged Dre for at least a week about where we were going for the photo shoot, what he was planning to wear, and whether or not I should try this new hair gloss treatment),we ended up just wearing jeans and taking the pictures in our front yard. I've done several photo shoots with past modeling jobs, but this was by far the most comfortable and definitely the most fun. Sometimes it's best to go with the KISS method: Keep It Simple, Stupid. LOL :) Andrea

Thanksgiving Survey by Kelly

Kelly's answers to a random Thanksgiving suvey:

1. Where did you go for Thanksgiving? Or did you cook? For Thanksgiving we went to my mom's friend's house who I consider to be an aunt. I was sick so I laid on the couch a lot. I cooked some cauliflower that I pretended were potatoes. They were lovely.

2. If you went to your future in-laws, did they do anything that seemed odd? No we were at my family's so everything was totally normal.

3. Any weird food? Yes. I was eating cauliflower instead of potatoes!That's very wrong!

4. Did you find out anything about your future spouse you did not already know on Thanksgiving? I learned not to give him my phone to update ever again because he erased all of the info on it for the 3rd time since I've gotten it. Kelly

Birthday report from Kelly

So I know I have kept everyone in suspense about how the big birthday bash went. It is now almost two weeks later so I guess it's time for me to talk. It probably couldn't have gone better. Ok if I would have gotten a puggle or a yorkie poo I probably would say it went better. But I've already gotten a dog for a birthday present a few years ago so I guess people were thinking outside the box.

I'm not even sure what the phrase outside the box means. I mean I sort of do....but what box? Anyway, so being with Jake on my birthday was amazing. I know it's just one day and it's not all that important but it meant everything to me that finally we got to be together. He already missed two. I've never missed one of his birthdays. That must mean I like him more.

He got me more j'adore which makes me smell nice. He also got me an iphone which is hard to type on which explains my lack of blogs. So blame him. I'm not sure what his excuse for not writing them himsef is. Kelly

Important questions by Kelly

We are now at less than five months until our wedding. And I'm still procrastinating at every chance I get. I need to get bridesmaid dresses. I have to get flowers. But I haven't. I will, though. Eventually.

More importantly though, I need to figure out our honeymoon. I'm pretty sure we're just going to Mexico. But where should we go? I tried to fall asleep the other day at 11 PM and accidentally started looking up honeymoon stuff and ended up going to bed around 4:30 AM.

I have no desire to go to Europe because I feel like I've been there a lot and Jake has been there like 100 times. But it would be cool to go to Paris for like 3 days. And I'd like to live on the Eiffel Tower. I wonder if I can go everywhere. For free of course. This stuff is expensive! Kelly

THE Dress! By Andrea

I FOUND IT!!! It's official...I've found the dress of my dreams. It's everything I want (and nothing that I didn't want)in a wedding gown. I can't be too specific because Dre will read this and it'll spoil the surprise. But oh, it's just beautiful...simple and elegant. Although I did tell Dre that I was going to get one of those giant poofy scary crazy colored dresses. I showed him a couple pictures and he crinkled up his nose as if he'd just gotten a whiff of some funky gym socks and said " Uh...yeah right," and kept playing his video game. He knows I wouldn't pick anything over the top, but it was fun to see that look on his face. LOL... But anyway, I'm just happy to know that I've figured out what I'm going to wear when we tie the knot. His suit will be easy. And chances are, he'll wear it again. Does that make his a better investment?? Nah....the look on his face when he first sees me will be worth every penny. :) Andrea
