We are still alive

Sorry I have not posted much in the past few months. We are really busy with end of the school year stuff, final wedding details and moving. Yesterday we went to a wedding of David and Beth, two really good friend of Steves. They had a simple cermony in a barn with close family and friends.

We ordered our rings today

Steve and I ordered our wedding rings today. Steve's ring is white gold with Celtic knots engraved on it. My ring is a platium band with engraving that match my engagement ring. I have been busy with other wedding stuff: invitations, ribbons, menu, tux etc. I never knew planning a wedding was so much hard work and time consuming.

Congrats Trey and Jason as you get married on WY today!

Landscaping

This is a photo of the flower bed around the well that worked on Thursday. It looks so simple and easy, but I spend at least 8 hours planting and hauling mulch. I am off to my house to cut grass, and grade papers...gotta go back to school tomorrow!

Spring Break

Spring break is almost over. My aunt, uncle, Steve and I went to FL fishing last weekend. We had a really nice time. We saw 2 sharks, one was about a 6 feet bull shark, a small sea turtle, lots of sting ray and jelly fish. Since we got back home on Monday I have been busy shopping, moving stuff, planning and addressing invitations to the wedding. I also spend a day working on the landscaping at the new house. I have more flowers to plant today. I will get pictures up soon.

Pictage! and honeymoon

Good afternoon to all. I am so sorry about all of the Pictage confusion. I thought it would be a really cool site, but I guess I am wrong.
I think these are the correct steps to opening the "Crown Jewels" (thanks for the name Alana)

go to www.pictage.com

under search type in "Kelly and Steve" or "White-Bryant" not Kelly & Steve.

Then you have to fill out some form with you e-mail address, like you are going to hack their system or something. Then you must have a key.

Thek key is "kswb"

I hope this works, if not I have a good selection here on the blog and I will post more if needed.

On an happier note, Steve made all the arrangements for the honeymoon this week. We will be staying at Ramons on Ambergris Cay off the coast of Belize for seven nights.

Engagement Pictures

Here are some of our engagement pictures.

I know I have been slack about adding new posting, but I have been having problems with posting and addind pictures and I have not had time to figure out the problem. Less than 3 months until the wedding.

Willie and Engagement Pictures

Steve and I went to see Willie Nelson at the Tabernacle Thursday night at the Tabernacle. It was actually the first “real” concert we had ever attended together. We arrived before the doors opens, thus we were able to get in the second standing row. Willie took stage around 8:10 and played for an hour and half. He played many of his classics, but must have been in a Hank Williams mood, because he also played many of his songs. It got really crowded and hot, especially as the inebriated people began to move closer to the front. I finally got the bottle of Dasani I was dieing for, for $3.00, and I thought water was a natural resource. Well would have paid $20 at the time. I was glad to get to bed at midnight, which I thought was reasonably early for the occasion.

Today we had our engagement pictures take. We were hoping to have them made on the river, but the rain forced us into the studio. I think there should be some really good and unique shots. I should get the cd of pictures later this week. They will also be placed on Pictage. I will list the username and password so all can view.

Oh today is also the one year anniversary of our engagement. It seems hard to believe that has been that long and we only have 3 months before the wedding!

Wow! The Georgia Aquarium Rocks!

Steve and I spend the day at the Georgia Aquarium as a celebration of Valentines Day. (I got an MP3 player and Steve got 2 shirts, a hat, colone and fudge) It is a definite must see for anyone in the area. We are so disappointed that we did not get season passes and they are no longer selling them. I can not describe how amazing it was.

The design and layout of the place was ingenious. There are five galleries linked together with a sitting and dinning area. You are free to go into any of the areas at your leisure. There are also many areas designed to “pet” the fish and other aquatic life. On of the best parts was the large “window” into the ocean tank. This should be something similar to what we would see when/if we scuba dive in Belize in June.

This is one of the bulga whales. We were viewing from the second level and this photo gives a nice idea of the size of the whales and the size of the windows.

The Tropical Diver tanks need cleaning daily.

Saturday night Steve and I attended a surprise birthday party for one his best friend and former roommate, David. Steve really had lots of fun hanging out with his high school friends. He even surprised me by showing the group his buck dancing skills (he had not told me about his skills and awards won until last week). It was entertaining, but we stayed out way past my bedtime

I have spent some time this weekend registering for wedding gifts at Target and Belk. It was fun to register for all the things that I thought we could use. It was really time consuming and difficult to make sure we got everything we need and did not register for duplicates. I still have some modifications to make in the next few weeks. I never realized how crazy this wedding planning is. Just when I think I am ahead and have a handle on it, I find out how much more we have to do.

More pictures (hopefully) to follow.

JEEP SLEDDING

Here are the first pictures of the upcome sports rage! I had lots of fun sledding 3 miles or so for about and hour, but wow am I sore today!

Attention students:

Don't try this at home. It is not safe.

(but yes it was loads of fun)

On Sunday the snow continued. There was not much in Frogtown or Murrayville,

so we went north again.

We thought about going skiing in Maggie Valley, but did not leave in enough time to make it up there due to road conditions. We had breakfast at Ma Gooches, a great southern breakfast, but not as good as the Wagon Wheel in Dahlonega. The then headed toward Suches, a small town in Union County. We went towards Wolf Pen Gap then took a Forest Service road over Duncan Ridge to end up at Coopers Creek. The road had only been traveled by a few people that day and we only met 5 or 6 cars on the 15 mile road. I think we created a new Olympic sport along the way – “Jeep Sledding”.
