The Proposal

On 12/12/09 we were in Crystal Lake on Main Beach. The plan was to hang out then go Christmas shopping. (Meagan always needs a plan!) Blake came up with a good idea of setting the camera on a timer to get a cute picture of us: on the lake, sun setting, etc. After a few trials, he pressed the picture button, ran over...and proposed. Hence-the picture. It was perfect and even more perfect that we have a picture to never forget it!

                                    House- Update!


Good and Bad news. The house in McHenry didn't work out. It's actually a real bizarre situation, but we are totally okay with it. We found an even better townhouse in Volo. Not only do I think it is absolutely wonderful-but it will be about the same distance to work. Unfortunately, Blake will have a longer ride. What was 5 minutes will now be about 20 minutes. He still isn't even in competition with my drive to work! House shopping was a totally different experience then I imagined. The stress of the ups and downs was difficult. I really think that we have made a great choice although nothing is set in stone yet. Email us for the address and you can look it up-it is beautiful :) Can't wait to hear the final words and owning a house!

And We Have Color!


Mango-orange, Turquoise-blue, After looking and changing our minds multiple times, we have come to the conclusion of Mango and Turquoise to be our "Colors".
The choice seems logical as Blake is huge on orange and happens to love mango's, and is obsessed with the ocean to represent the blue! Meagan on the other hand was flipping through a Bride magazine (Thanks to Nancy!) and saw a picture and knew they were the colors of our wedding! After a little research it won't be easy incorporating the colors but we are up to the challenge.

We have not decided exactly what we will be using the colors on... you'll have to wait and find out! :)
