There and Back Again
Well I haven't posted on this in far too long, so I thought I would try to get it going again. Andy and I have been busy back in Ohio. I'm working at RobinTek, a web development company as a designer and photographer and Andy's been working for Lifetouch while he works on getting his masters in Information Technology. As if that wasn't enough we're also working on the idea of renovating my dad's old studio building into a home for us (pictures to come!). I'll post some more soon! - Rachel

Family
Hi everyone! And sorry for not keeping up with this better! There is so much to say but the thing that is on my mind the most now is a question… where are Andy and I going to be in the next year?
For those of you who don’t already know Andy and I have been toying with the idea of moving back to Ohio for some time now. There are a lot of reasons, from being closer to family and friends, to having more and different job opportunities.
As we’re getting closer and closer to the wedding I am realizing more and more how blessed we are with our families and friends. Every day I hear about how the house and yard are getting fixed up for the wedding and everyone is being so helpful. There is no way I could do this without all of them. Thank you so much to everybody from big things to little things!
Last month I got to visit Ohio for a week to photograph a wedding and take care of a lot of details for my own, but the thing that made me the happiest was being with family and friends. You all mean so much to me. Love you all! -Rachel

Dinner and Springtime in Colorado Springs
Today was one of the first real spring days that we've had in the Springs this year, and I am so glad that it's warming up. Winter was great and actually this was the first year that I wasn't totally sick of winter by the end of it, but I'm still ready for spring. Also, getting home before sundown is wonderful. Andy and I went on a short hike today in Ute Valley Park near our house to check out some trails that we may bike later on. Here are a few pictures from that walk.
Now I'm going to share another dinner we made. I've really gotten into cooking and Andy has a bit too. Tonight we made Mexican Corn on the Cob and Parmesan-Crusted Stuffed Chicken. You can find the recipes we used here http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/08/elote-mexican-corn-on-cob.html and here http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/parmesan-crusted-stuffed-chicken-115883.aspx
So so so Good!

Invitations
Good news! After about a month of cutting, gluing, measuring, remeasuring, printing, stamping, and stuffing envelopes; we are finally done with the invitations and they went out yesterday! That doesn't even count the months before hand where we dealt with the design. With help from our friend Keith we came up with the main tree design and then went from there. I am so happy with how they turned out! keep and eye out for yours in the mail.

Weekend in Ohio for Bridal shower and several other things
Hello everyone! Sorry I've been ignoring this, now I have a whole lot to update about! This past weekend I got to fly back to Ohio for several things including my bridal shower, which was a blast! For those of you that know how my weekend trips back to Ohio go, this schedule will be of no surprise to you but here's a quick rundown of what happened: Arrived in Columbus Friday afternoon immediately went to Easton to go shopping for my bridesmaids dress for my friend Amanda's wedding (and also to shop for her bridesmaids dress for my wedding) then came back to my parents house to meet up with the rest of my bridesmaids to prep flowers and food for the bridal shower the next day. Saturday we prepped all morning, then had the bridal shower, then went to my wedding dress fitting (sorry, while there are pictures none of them will be up here so that it will be a surprise for Andy on our wedding day), then went out to Funnybone with Amanda, Katie, and Sara (some of my bridesmaids). Sunday I spent basically the whole day with my friend Jane and her family, going to her graduation from OSU and her graduation party. Monday I cleaned, packed, and spent a little time with my mom before heading back to the airport and Colorado!
Whew.... Yeah, I do tend to try and cram in as much as is physically possible and I don't sleep a whole lot when I come back into town but it was a great trip, for those of you who I got to see- it was great to catch up even for a few moments and for those of you I missed, I'll be back again in July. Anyway, here are some pictures from the weekend.
Jane (one of my bridesmaids and good friend from high school) works on putting together the flowers for my shower. We decided to do a test run of the flowers I wanted for Andy and I's wedding at the shower because we are going to be ordering our flowers from two wholesalers and then putting the arrangements together ourselves with lots and lots of help from Jane and Andy's Grandma.
We only ordered some of the large main flowers that we're planning on using for the wedding but some of the things we're going to have are: Sunflowers both red and yellow, Gerbera Daisys, Dahlias, Roses, Spider Mums, Calla Lilies, and greens
Sara doing a lot of prep in my parents kitchen for the bridal shower. Sara came up with the menu and coordinated making all the foods we had, she's basically superwoman. We had several different kinds of tea and foods from around the world that different people eat at tea time.
One side of the room during the bridal shower. My bridesmaids really did a wonderful job putting the shower together for me, and it was great to have it at Deer Haven Preserve.
One of the games that my little sister/Maid of Honor Anna came up with for the guests to play was a game where we broke off into groups and make a wedding gown out of toilet paper.
Me opening presents with all my guests. I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone. Andy and I received such amazing presents from you all, so much more than we expected and we're so excited to start using them around the house.
