It's all about the 254!


A couple of weeks ago, Nathan and I took our engagement photos! In case you didn't know, I love pictures!!! So...when the day got closer, I got really nervous. I made Nathan go to the mall with me about 6 times in one weekend! Poor guy...

We took our photos in downtown Grapevine, Texas. I was so excited to have Bludoor Studios, Mike and ReJana Krause take our pictures. They were the photographers at Claire and David's wedding. I love their work, and I am so excited to have them as our photographers! They also have a talent at calming me down, because believe it or not I get a little shy when it comes to things like this.

Midway through, Nathan and I did a costume change (in the middle of the street) and put on T-shirts for our Rock Band photo shoot! We ordered shirts from Congress Clothing in Waco, TX. The shirts said, "It's all about the 254." 254 is the area code for Waco. Nathan and I both went to Baylor and our wedding is going to be in Waco, so we thought these shirts were perfect!
Here are some more of our favorites!

Hopefully it is my LUCKY week!

So on Thursday last week, Kalee and I bought a few scratch of cards just for fun...long, long story short, we WON $200. We were so excited! Kalee started crying after we won the first 50 bucks, before I knew it my arm was black and blue from her slapping me in excitement!

On Saturday, we all got together at the Benedict's for the OU/texas game...(that was actually not a lucky part of my week). Brad Coon made us a grid for the game. We all signed ten squares and the person with the winning numbers at the end of each quarter won $22.50. I entered the contest with some of the money I had won on Thursday! Even though I didn't like the outcome of the game, I had the numbers 5/5. So I won a dirty $22.50. On a side note, I would have traded my winnings for an Oklahoma win, but I will give my congrats to Texas (I guess).



Tonight, Nathan was working on the computer, I was playing double solitaire. For those of you who don't know, it is a really hard game to win. I have been playing for years, and until tonight I can count the number of times I have won on one hand. Well...I sat down tonight shuffled the cards...and I won. Then I shuffled again, and weirdly I won again. I WON four times. I looked at Nathan and I said, "We have got to go buy a lottery ticket!" So we did! We went to the local gas station, asked the lady for help because we were clueless about how to do it and we purchased our first lottery ticket.

Tomorrow night at 10:00, we will find out if this is truely a LUCKY week!

Stay tuned...
