LOVE ~ TARA & BRENNAN {ENGAGED}

This was a long time coming! These guys have had he pleasure of doing life together for a while now! I always wondered when Brennan would pull the trigger, and I wondered no more when he invited my little family along for a pop the question trip. It was a treat to be there with the two of them. One super nervous. The other super excited (she knew, that bum!). Here we are in a foot of snow at a winter wonderland, in the midst of thousands and thousands of Christmas lights and snowmen when he knelt down and made her the happiest woman alive. What a special moment! Fast forward 6 months... Same crew and a similar situation where we find ourselves knee high in wild vetch with the couch from HEAVEN (thanks Cait)! Minutes before this fine piece of furniture was nestled in the loving room, now, nestled in the midst of a purple fairytale! See our friend Tara had business to take care of (a 40 something day trip to Ireland & Paris) so I figured it was now or never. Other than Brennan and I constantly snotting ourselves due to our allergy attacks, it was one stellar evening. Thanks for letting me be a part of all your hitching occasions! Can't wait til the wedding! Happy Friday to you all.

Happy belated New Year friends. I recently had the pleasure to be part of another "secret" engagement. The full story is ahead but these two images describe it all. Thanks for letting us enjoy this time with you.

Tara & Brennan. SO much can be said abou these two. Brennan is one of the most down to earth, drum smacking, hockey playing, OFFICE loving guys you will ever meet. Tara is one of the sweetest, kindest, great voice people you may ever encounter at a chinese buffet! (we both adore CHINESE FOOD!) There are not many people you can expect picture texts from when they are embarking on the meal of a lifetime (any chinese meal)! But really, these are some of the greatest people to call friends and I had a blast with them on Sunday. Thanks guys! Now come back and help finish this ICE CREAM!

I'm sitting here, staring at this screen, still in my state of jet lag. I'm amazed at how easy it is after these trips to be staring at the ceiling at 3:30am, WIDE AWAKE! Besides, for 7 days we lived 16 hours in the future. The flight's for this trip were as follows...Leave Buffalo, Fly to Chicago, Fly to LA, Fly to Auckland, Fly to Wellington, Fly to Christchurch, Drive to Ashburton, and it was worth every moment of hearing babies cry and elderly people pacing the aisle's of the double decker!

We had just a phenomenal trip to New Zealand and are so blessed to have friends like the Matthew's. Not only are they great host's, but they're darn good tour guides as well. From private plane rides over the Southern Alps to Fashion shows at a local school, who could want more! There will be more posts to follow from the trip, but for now, thanks a ton friends and Ruby! (their newest member who is only slightly more aggressive than the other two.)
