You Are My Sunshine: August 2012

Alright, well this is my first real down time since the proposal! Since Brian popped the question in the middle of the semester, I was stressed out with wedding plans and keeping grades up for another month and a half. From there, we came back to my home in California for a few days, flew to Texas for the wonderful party, Brian and I parted ways for the first time last Wednesday when I flew home to California, I went straight to a family reunion, and now I'm home until the wedding! Life is crazy!
I could write for days and days about everything we've been up to, but in order to avoid that level of boredom, let's just keep this to the Engagement Party in Atascocita, TX.
The party was help on Saturday, July 28th and it was wonderful. First of all, there were so many people who helped in so many ways that we could never thank them all, but we feel so blessed and honored to have such selfless and talented people in our lives! Brian's mom took charge of the whole thing and did a spectacular job.
My family had flown to Texas with me for the party, so they spent Friday night and all day Saturday setting up everything along with several angelic volunteers. Because heavens knows Chase, Tori, and Isaac snuck away every second they could to watch the Olympics. Brian and I weren't allowed to see or know much at all before the event, so we got to relax and run errands for everyone; something I always enjoy, but that Texas heat made it for a sticky adventure.
The night was one to remember. There was an unexpected Disney theme (the topic that took over the first conversation that Brian and I ever had and something that is, and will always be a huge part of our life together), delicious food, talented entertainment, and, most importantly, amazing people.
To everyone that came, everyone that helped with any small part of the night, and everyone that has helped Brian to become the person that he is today, thank you! I feel so welcome to this new Texas family and so blessed to know so many more awesome people.
Enjoy a few pictures from the night!
