Engagement Photos

Okay, I know I'm supposed to be keeping my wedding stuff to the wedding blog, but I am really excited about this! We got our engagement photos done on Saturday and the photographer posted 12 photos from our engagement photo shoot on Facebook. I absolutely love them. :) Here is a sneak peek:

Again, our photographer only put 12 photos up on Facebook... these are just my favorites of the photos he put up. He told me that there should be about 40 to 50 photos on the disc that he sends us... which means you'll probably have to see more engagement photos on my blog in another week!

If you are in the Denver area and are looking for a photographer, I definitely recommend Lucas McDonough. He has reasonable prices and he does an amazing job. :) You can see more here or here.

90 Days!

My 90 days are officially up tomorrow (October 20th). I am so excited! I will get benefits (and possibly a review for a raise!). My health insurance will start on November 1st! The company covers up to $270 for health insurance. I am going on Philip's health insurance though, and using the $270 for dental insurance for both of us and also accident insurance through AFLAC. I am mostly just thrilled that I get benefits! :D

Also, I still really love my job. My boss is awesome. My coworkers are cool. The tenants can be a pain in the butt, but I find that I actually really like property management. :) I hope that I continue to enjoy it.

Actually, my boss is out of town tomorrow, so I get to show one of the suites in our building. It's pretty exciting! If they end up leasing the suite that I show them, I can get a part of the commission! Woot! :)

But, either way that goes, I'm just happy that I really and truly enjoy my job. It's been a fantastic change. Have I told you readers lately that I love Colorado? I still continue to be so happy that we made this move. It was an excellent decision! :D

Happy but sad...

My baby sister is moving in with her boyfriend this weekend. Okay, so she's not really a baby -- she's 22. But, she's always going to be 15 in my eyes. :(

I am really excited for her. She is so happy and excited. She is still in school, so she has continued to live with my parents even after she graduated from high school. So, every time I go home, she is there at my parents' house. It was actually really nice. I liked having my family all in one place.

It's not that she's moving very far; only a few miles. I just am having a hard time accepting that she is an adult. I can't believe that the time has gone by so quickly. It doesn't seem right that she should be moving out on her own.

I knew it would be coming soon... I even got her a "hope chest" for Christmas (a bunch of stuff she'd need when she moved out on her own; stuff like a blender, a toaster, a mixer, etc.). I just kept expecting "soon" to continue to be in the distant future. :S

I also wish that I could be there to help her move in and set up. It is a big step; and I'm her big sister. Isn't this one of those moments that I should be there with her for? I probably would say "screw it" and fly home this weekend if it weren't Philip's birthday on Friday.

This is one of the times where I really don't like living so far away from my family. I miss moments like these. On the other hand, I really love Denver. My family really does need to move closer to me. :P

Oh, well. I am going to surf Amazon.com for a house-warming present for her. Then, I guess I'll just be there in spirit.
