A Great Pick Me Upper.

I was having a really bad morning and a bunch of my friends on Facebook were trying to help me get outta my funk. Then comes along our photographer to perk me up. :) He's the greatest!! Here are a few more!!


I just love the textures of this photo!!

I love how in this picture it looks like we're all alone in this huge place. It was so busy there, with lots of people walking around. I don't know how he happened to take a picture right when there was no one there.

This photo photo really makes me laugh. I didn't want to walk down onto the beach (parts of the walk was really really steep!!) and along the walk down I saw sour grass (or at least that's what I call it!!) and I just had to have some!! I remember eating it when I was younger and I asked DF, the photographer, and his assistant to please try it. After much speculation they ALL finally gave in and the photographer just had to capture DF trying it out for the first time. Haha!! Look at my face and how concentrated I am trying to shove the grass into his mouth, careful not to poke his eye. Totally focused!! Hehee!!

We were good sports and part took in a bit of rock climbing!!

I knew Rey would like this because it has his car in the picture.

We just love all of our photos!! They are all so unique and are so artistic!! We only have a few more days til our 3 week wait is over and we get all the photos back!! So so so excited!! We hope you all have enjoyed our teasers as much as we have!! We are so happy that Eddy surprised us with teasers 4-5 times throughout the wait, and each time he gave us teasers it was about 4-5 pictures. We have a whopping 19 teasers to date!! Whooo hooooo!! And we love each and every one of them!!

Hope everyone is doing fabulous on this gorgeous Tuesday!! Many blessings!!

More Engagement Teasers!!

We got MORE fantastic teaser engagement photos!! Yahoo!! So excited!! They look fantastic!!

A great close up!!

I love the lighting in this picture.

Love the contrast of this photo!! It reminds me of an "equal" equation YKWIM??

Hanging out in many doorways..

My friend Jenny said this one looks like a postcard, and I agree!! Hehee!!

We just love our photos and hope you do too!! Hope everyone is doing fabulous!!

Venue booked!!

We are happy to announce that on Wednesday Rey and I went to our the Metropolitan Golf Links to go and put down the deposit and sign the contract for it gorgeous place (photo above of us with our wedding coordinator Lisa right after we put down the deposit and signed the contract). Now that we've actually got a place to host our special day, it's 100% official that we're getting married on July 1, 2011!! We are so excited!! This was our #1 choice!! I knew it from the first time I went to see it that this is where I'd want to become Rey's wife!! The gorgeous never ending grass is beautiful!! And I just love the idea of having the reception in their beautiful fully draped tent!! We can't wait for everyone to see the place!! Here are a few photos of the gorgeous place!!

Such A Tease!!

I just woke up right now (didn't sleep til 6 am because I was still unpacking at my Mom's) and I just got the best surprise!! Our wonderful fantastic great perfect bomb diggity thoughtful (any other descriptive words to describe how great he is?!) photographer gave us MORE TEASERS!!

I absolutely LOVE this picture!!


And this next one is funny because it's an inside joke. I'm very dominant so I'm always the leader in the relationship. So here I am in the picture pulling him along. Haha!!


I could totally be a photographer's assistant. The photographer was very encouraging of us to think up of ideas, poses, and areas at the locations we went to for good unique shots. While the photographer and DF went on a restroom break I saw these bike racks and thought it would be a cool picture!!


And if you've ever been to San Francisco, you know the beaches here are ugly. Haha. I'm very impressed how great the photographer caught the beach in this picture however..


I love this photo!! It's so sweet!!

I told the photographer how much I loved my shoes and he ended up taking a photo of it!! You can't tell from this angle in this picture but it's not a round shoe, the part of the shoe is angled sharply and looks so cool!! I'll have to take another picture of it so you'll know what I mean!! I think this photo is romantic though.. Makes your mind wonder what we are doing that the camera didn't capture. Haha!!

The evening weather was gorgeous that night!!

We took this picture when it was already getting dark (it was taken at the same beach as the photo above. See the crazy color difference though?? The one above looks like straight up evening time!!) I love how his equipment was able to make it look like it was daytime!!

Well those are all the teasers I have for now. Again, we are blown away at these amazing photos!! Our first vendor we chose and put our deposit for was our photographer and we are 100% satisfied already from what we've seen!! Only a week or two left til we get the rest of the photos!! We're so excited!!

We hope everyone is doing well. We miss you all!! Thanks so much for hanging tight while I got more photos and also for letting me share!! I'll post more when I get the rest in 2-3 more weeks.. Unless our photographer wants to surprise us again with more teasers!! Haha!!

Our engagement pictures!!

Hey everyone!! I'm writing you all from our school library before my next class starts! We just started our spring semester, and FINALLY we are making some progress!! This May we will walk the stage (perhaps, I'm still not sure if this is worth walking for) to get our AA degree. Then we'll be transferring by the end of the year if everything goes right and if there are no budget cuts!! We are so excited!! Please Mr. Governor, don't take any more of our classes away from us!!

Other news, my Mom is moving on Feb. 26th!! She bought a new house!! I'm super excited!! That weekend is going to be really busy!! Not only is that the week she moves into a new house, but that's also the week we take our engagement photos!! I'm so excited!! I've been a fan of Eddy Fong of Renai Photographer for so long, and to finally be working with him, it's going to be so amazing!!

Rey's birthday is coming up around the corner (Feb. 8th) so I'm getting really excited!! He'll be turning 23!! Phew!! Can you believe we met when he was 18, and I was only 17?? We were TEENS!! Pretty soon Rey will be his marry age of 24, and I will be my marrying age of 23.. How time sure has flown!! The other day I was packing some stuff and ran across my high school senior yearbook. I thumbed through it and stumbled upon the senior dedication page he wrote for me. Ahh, it was so sweet!! He signed it, "You hubby Rey Ramirez". He knew even years ago that one day we'd be getting married. I can't wait til next year!! It seems so far away, yet so close especially because we have aimed to do NO planning or DIYing for the last 3 months of our engagement. All we want to do then is worry about the Save the Dates, RSVPs, and final deposits and guest count. Other than that, we want all the other stuff done and chosen. We don't want to stress as the final months close in. My Mom finished her planning with 2 months to spare (aside from the RSVP and the final deposits and guest count), so I know we can do it for sure!! I have bad skin, so I want to focus on remaining as stress free as possible and take care of my skin so I don't have a HUGE zit on my face when the wedding rolls around. These past 2 weeks my skin has been looking great, I'm so impressed. But I guess because my face skin got so used to this crazy cold weather, it's not breaking out. (My skin breaks out when the weather changes).

Anyways, we hope everyone is doing well!! Hopefully 2010 is being good to you. We can't believe how January is almost over!! The year is already going by really fast!! Yahoo!! 2010 roll over, so our wedding year can get here already!!

Spring Semester for the Couple!!

P.S. The photo above is a photo taken of the senior dedication page Rey did for me in my high school year book 4 years ago!! Isn't it so cute that back then he knew that 6 years later we'd be getting married?? Fate, it's crazy!! <3<3

Come Support Us on Facebook!!

We seriously get a kick out of reading some Facebook pages, so I figured hey we should just make some of pages of our own!! So last night we did and if you know Rey and I then you'll understand why we made these pages!!

One is called My Significant Other's Other Girlfriend/Wife is His Stupid Video Games. Haha!! You know how Rey is seriously attached to his video games!! He's always on that freaking thing!! It's like his other Fiancee. Haha!! I know there are many other woman out there who know exactly what I'm going through, so I figured it's going to be a really fun page with funny questions every day for our fans to answer.

The other page we made is called I am HAPPILY ENGAGED!! Figured it was appropriate for the special moment in our lives. And I thought it would be great to be able to share with other engaged couples as well. We can share ideas with one another and see how everyone's planning is going along. Feel free to become fans and help my pages grow!! Thanks!!
