engagement photos

Thursday, Abu, a friend of ours, helped us take some engagement photos so we could make a photo-based wedding invitation.  We had SO MUCH FUN!!!  We kept laughing and laughing . . . so all the smiles you see . . . totally real. :) 

Abu took over 400 photos  . . . quickly picking out MY favorites leaves us with over 80 to choose from--that doesn't even include Lawrance's faves which might be different than mine (he let me download to my computer first, so he's only seen my faves so far).  We only need four for the invites--it's going to be really hard to choose.

(Random FYI: The church that is in the back of some of the photos is most likely where we will have the Taiwanese wedding.)

I leave tomorrow . . . . oh it's going to be hard to say goodbye to this guy who delights my heart so.  So . . . I'm leaving the computer now so I can finish grading, packing, and cleaning, so that I can spend the rest of my time with "my guy."  Thanks so much for all the wonderfully kind words and congratulations!!  Yall are so sweet!

Here are some of our "outtakes."  They aren't the most attractive photos . . . BUT . . .I love the way they show how much we enjoy each other!!! :)

I have been following your blog for a while now, but I seem to lurk way too much. And I must say, I am so very excited for you. I can still remember reading your posts about wondering God's will for you when it came to meeting someone whom you would someday marry.

Congratulations!

Hi, you don't know me, but I've enjoyed looking at your photos in the past. I am so excited for you--you look so happy. I am so glad you found the man that God has intended to be your husband. Laughing with and having fun with your spouse is one of the best things about being married and we can all tell that you will be doing that a lot :)
