I can't believe how much time is flying by, and it is about to go even quicker with many details to sort out. This past weekend we picked out our cake design, ordered invitations & looked at tuxedos. Slowly things are starting to come together, but I'm very glad Reid and I decided to get things done a little at a time and in advanced. It is making the whole planning process not stressful (knock on wood).
We both have some adventures to look forward to this next weekend. Reid is heading to Chicago for an engi-nerd, I mean engineering conference while I'm heading to sunny southern California to visit a friend/bridesmaids.
What a boring post...but our lives are really just consumed with wedding planning right now!
Overall we both had a wonderful Christmas. We found plenty of time to spend with both of our families and even some time to visit my relatives in Texas! This is our best take of a Christmas photo...
I think it is safe to say we are both very much looking forward to the year 2009. These first 6 months are going to me the most exciting none the less with an acceptance (cross our fingers) into law school, a wedding, and a big move. But just some highlights of 2008, Tara graduated from Kansas State with a degree in Mass Communications and found a job after 1 1/2 months of searching with a legal research company. We took a trip to Colorado to check out CU Law School which led to Reid narrowing down his school choices and after a very long process turned in his applications, and last but not least we bought our first car together!!
Of the 7 years we have been dating, this is only our 3rd New Years Eve that we have spent together. We stayed in Manhattan, hung out with friends, and headed down to Aggieville to watch the Apple drop. Eve 6 was also there playing before the ringing in of the new year.

So we woke up New Year's Day and made breakfast together. I got to cut the peppers and make the eggs all without Reids help...a major accomplishment!!
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year and best wishes for 2009.
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Well this wasn't the best of weeks. Everything seemed to go wrong and stress after stress factor just piled on, and the end of the week couldn't come soon enough. But it finally arrived and Reid treated me to a blast from the past.
Oh the memories! I was also surpised to see Josh and Reid's Christmas tree, with presents already under it.
Good job boys, nicely done!
Things we get to look forward to this week: K-State basketball game at the Sprint Center, meeting with the florist, and finishing up registering. Oh and a paid day off! Can't complain about that.
Who Would Have Guessed...Another Wedding Post!
Reid and I had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving weekend. Reid's wedding ring came in and we picked it up. Only 6 more months and he can wear it!
Aside from the ring, we finalized our honeymoon plans. Looks like we are heading to Jamaica for a week in the sun! We opted out of Greece because a car seemed a little more important. We also decided to get our intials engraved in our champagne flutes. They turned out AWESOME!
After the holidays I'm sure things are going to fly by and I coudn't be more excited. Can't wait for all the details to start coming together!
We May Be Moving On...But Our Wildcat Pride Will Stay Forever
It was a sad State Saturday as Reid and I attended our last home game for a little while. Luckily our team decided to play today so we got to enjoy the "entire" game! It was the perfect ending to an unfortunate year of football for K-State. But we still wore our purple proudly and will continue to wherever we go next.
The Peaceful Konza
Sunday, we took advantage of the BEAUTIFUL weather and went hiking on the Konza Prairie. Plus Reid got to test drive the new car and see how it handles the gravel road!!
Welcome to the Family...
Even though our football team sucked today, we still had a good Saturday because Reid parted with an old semi-friend. Today we said goodbye to the Sentra and hello to...
This is our new car, a 2006 Jeep Liberty!!! We went this morning to just see if they had any decent ones at the Jeep dealership in town. We did the paperwork and got to drive it off the lot. From there, Tara decided to get me an early Christmas present...
While we were out running errands, we went to get some more wedding stuff...
