Engagement Party

At the loft before heading to the Island

                                        

The beautiful cake Lissa had made for the party.

My mom's good friend's Lissa and Barbara threw Trey and me the most beautiful engagement party in Corpus. Everything was incredible. The party was at Lissa and Rolf's house on the Island and it was a beautiful evening on the water. Lissa and Barbara went all out, cooking an amazing buffet, decorating the house with Lissa's adorable vintage cake toppers, and ordering us the most beautiful cake. I have decided that I don't want to have a traditional wedding cake at our reception, so they got us one for our engagement party! The best part about the cake is that it was a delicious as it was pretty. For everyone that missed out, don't worry; the same baker (Gary Holman) is also creating a dessert bar for our reception, so there will be plenty of her yummy goodies for you all to try! Trey and I are so thankful to Lissa and Barbara for all their hard work. And also to everyone who came down to Corpus for the party. We know a lot of you had to travel and we really appreciate you making the effort to come celebrate with us. We can't wait for the wedding!

NYC!

At PS1 Warm Up 

Trey and I were in New York at the beginning of the month and had a wonderful time! It was great catching up with all of our friends and going back to our favorite restaurants and bars that we miss so much! It was also Heather and mines first official dress meeting! Special thanks to Judy for letting us stay her apartment. Highlights of the trip included getting to visit my cousin Liz's new store, seeing my friend Greg's band play, eating at Freeman's and Tree, seeing a game at the new Yankee's Stadium, and catching up with friends we haven't seen in months. Luckily, we will have to go back for dress fittings as the wedding gets closer! :)

Honey Moon!

Since we got engaged, Trey and I have had a lot of fun discussing possible honeymoon destinations, and we have made our decision... We are going to Martinique! We both love the beach and wanted to go somewhere neither of us had been before. And with all Martinique has to offer (beautiful beaches, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, great dining, etc.) we think it is the perfect spot for us to both enjoy ourselves. Neither of us have been anywhere in the Caribbean so any tips or information any one has is greatly appreciated! So far I know it is where they filmed the Thomas Crown Affair, and Mick Jagger has a home on the nearby island of Mustique and spends time on Martinique as well. But seeing as how Pierce Brosnan and Mick Jagger are kind of hard to get a hold of, we are looking for advice from other sources :) Please email us any suggestions you have! (Auntie A, this especially goes for you since I hear you have spent some time there!) We can't wait to start planning our romantic first trip as husband and wife!

Corpus!

I made Buck stand in front of his Team Red Tide Sign at Bubba's :)

Trey and I had a fabulous weekend in Corpus a couple weeks ago! Unfortunately, I took very few pictures :( It was a really a great trip though. Not only did we get to see my mom and dad and Buck and Laura, but my Aunt Gay was there along with my Grandma Helen and Grandpa John. And if that wasn't enough Natalie and Claire were in town too! Saturday night we went to the Hooks game. It was kind of rainy, but it didn't matter because we had one of the suites at a Whataburger Field. After the game we probably had a little too much fun at my Mom and Dad's new loft (which is so cute that it will get its own post soon!) Claire and Stewart, who were in town for a wedding came by and Claire was wearing one of Heather's new creations. She looked fabulous! I can't wait to see the rest of the Hedo line! Sunday we took Trey out to Port A for the first time and showed him the beach before enjoying Pina Colada's at the Back Porch Bar. We didn't leave till Monday evening so we were able to squeeze in some pool time before catching our flight back to Dallas. Leslie and David came by with Cooper who I should have taken a picture of! He is getting so big, and is adorable! Also, on that Monday Leslie found out she is having a baby girl! So Exciting! It was a great visit and I can't wait to go back in May!
