Let the planning begin!

What a great time of year! Casey and I really enjoyed getting to see all of our family and friends over the holidays. We got to spend Christmas Eve with the Vincent clan... opening lost of presents (Snuggies for all), going to a really neat church service, and enjoying the love that we all have for each other.

On Christmas Day, we hung out with the Goode side of the family and played Dirty Santa. It was a short visit, but so much fun.

Then we were headed to Houston to enjoy some much needed time off and fun with the Rohan Family. Once we got there, we celebrated the engagement, opened gifts, and ate some really good shrimp.



To sum up our trip we ate, slept, and shopped the whole time we were there! It was a great time meeting all of Donna and Paul's family. Funny... How are families are so much alike. 

Now that the crazy holiday season is over and Casey and I are settling back into the real world, it is time to start planning the wedding!!! I know we are both excited to get things underway. We have no idea what the date is, but we are working toward it. I think our first step will be to find a location. We really want to get married somewhere other than Birmingham. Mom and I are planning on heading to the coast with in the next month to search out the perfect place. Casey and I are open to suggestions, so please let us know of any places you have heard of. We are trying to keep it in the Destin or Mobile area. I can't wait to start picking out all the beautiful things to make our day perfect.

It all starts here...

Friday, December 18, 2009 became one of the best days of my life. It was just an average day... Work, dinner and drinks with my mom and dad and their friends, so on and so on. After dinner, Casey and I headed back to his condo to hang out before we had to meet some friends for a birthday party. I went into the restroom and no idea what was coming. While I was being a girl and primping for the rest of the night, Casey was running around his condo flipping lights on and trying to find "thespot"... The spot where a beautiful diamond would bling the most. As I walked out to the bedroom, I was feeling a little sleepy. As I tried to lay down, Casey was like come over here for a minute. It was completley dark except for the Christmas Tree! The tree looked amazing, I must say. Casey proceeded to grab my hand and get all mushy... After a few minutes of babbling and starting to cry (both of us), he got down on one knee and pulled out a perfect round cut diamond ring and asked THE question that would change both of our lives forever... Of course I said "YES!!!" The rest is history and now we have tons of memories in the making. We look forward to sharing these memories and making you all a part of them.We are excited to plan a beautiful wedding and enjoy this perfect time in our lives with our families and our friends.
