Engagement Pics!

Last Tuesday we went over to Ocean Beach with our new-found photographer, Nathan Petty! He was awesome! We had a super fun time pretending to be models...haha Just kidding! We felt pretty dang awkward at first, but Nathan was really good at helping us to just relax and act like ourselves. : ) Here are a few of our favorites:

There are tons more pictures...I'm sure I'll randomly post them here and there. But for a slide show of about 15-20 of them...visit this link: http://www.nathanpetty.com/darkroom/share/?n=ashleyjohn

Things are still moving along with all the planning! Invitations are all printed and ready to be enveloped! I just gotta get my Martha Stewart hat on and finish the "Details" insert. Oh dear...haha

And something we're very thankful for at the moment: John has had three offers so far from law firms in San Diego for a summer internship! He was a little anxious about where he might be able to find some good experience and the good Lord has blessed him with plenty of options! Woo Hoo! Go Johnny!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week!!!

Only 95 days! eeee! : )

Viva Las Vegas!!

This weekend Johnny and I are heading to Las Vegas with my mom, dad, and little Emmers! We're going to visit some close family friends, Pete and Nicole. It will be wonderful to get out of town for a bit and spend some quality time with people I love! : )

Well...first in the updates: turns out my engagement ring is a whole size too big! Sorry, Johnny for mis-informing you : ) SO that means that Robbins Bros. gets to keep my beautiful ring until Thursday. I feel nekked without it!

In other news...I'm working with the wonderful Darrin Roberts to get the flowers and decor all squared away for the wedding. Thank GOODNESS he and the company he works with (Embelishments) are so amazing and creative because Lord knows I'm NOT! : ) Things are definitely coming together!

So let me take a moment to acknowledge the fact that I am engaged to the most AMAZING man! Shall I give an example? Ok, so the other day I went to work just like always. However, on this particular morning, I went to get some coffee like normal and realized that I had no wallet. : ( Usually, this would be fine since I pack my lunches, but of course this day I had planned to buy lunch. Here comes the best part: my wonderful fiance drove home from where he was studying just so that he could put on boots (the military hospital won't let someone drive a motorcycle through the gates without boots and protective gear and such) and THEN brought me an iced coffee and food. He went through a whole-lotta trouble just for me. Its not just that he brought me food when I was a dummie and forgot money, its the fact that he is so willing to always do whatever it takes to make the people he loves happy. John is amazing, and I am reminded daily of what a caring, kind, generous individual he is. I just hope I can be half as giving as he is.

Ok everyone...3 1/2 months until the wedding! Wooo hooo! We're working on invitations, so expect me to start harassing you for your addresses.

And just to re-cap...I love John Miles SO much. ; )

Tiny updates.

So plans are moving along... nothing huge to report. Buuut I wanted to let you in on one thing I (the man of the relationship) am very excited about.

So June 1st, which will be like 3 days after our wedding AND our second day in Maui, is my BIRRRTHDAY. How awesome is that? Good luck topping this one Ash... you'll have to pull something out of your magician's hat to rival it in the future.

And I'm sure Ash will have some future posts with better information, but I'll give you the executive summary:

Bridal party attire?

check.

Registered?

check-ish.

Sweet music during the ceremony?

check.

Flowers?

no clue.

DJ?

no check.

Welp... that's as descriptive as I'm gonna get right now. Back to reading for my Criminal Law class... If anyone has any questions about Vicarious Liability or the Model Penal Code, feel free to post questions...

And I love Ashley Moss more than I did last post.
