Busy Engagement Weekend

Hello everyone! 

This is my first post on the engagement/wedding blog, so I figured I would take a moment to thank everyone for all of the loving messages and support! It has been super fun so far!

We started this weekend with a nice engagement bonfire at our good friend Shawn's house! Jared and Betty brought champagne and we had a nice autumn toast. Sarah and I are very blessed to have such wonderful people around us! 

Saturday morning brought our engagement pictures. Sarah's friend Stacey Cordes asked us
 to pose for some pictures up by the Guthrie. We love her pictures (you can see more of her work at her photography blog.) We had a great time taking pictures and she has already sent us a few to give us a taste of how they turned out. We LOVE them so far!!
On Sunday, after spending some time moving, Sarah and I visited the Arboretum in Chaska as a potential wedding site. We absolutely fell in love with the whole feeling at the Arboretum! We are going to do our best to just make it work - whatever we have to do we want our wedding and reception to be there. We really liked this one area call the Trex Deck that isn't actually one of the prescribed wedding sites, but we are hoping they will let us use it. It has a nice hill/bowl shape and it is nicely shaded! The backdrop would be a great wetland area. 

We loved the indoor reception area too and hope that we can find an available date for us in Late July or Early/Mid August. It was a little crazy to be walking around the Arboretum looking for a WEDDING site! Very cool! 

So that is it for now. We will keep you posted when we choose a date!!
