Spring Cleaning

Sun is shining, windows are wide open, and our wedding is three months away from TODAY! What do I decide to do on my day off... redo our wedding website! I hope you enjoy the new lay out! The pictures and information below were on our original site, they just have a new location.

February 2012

We took a trip back to Iowa to visit Amy's family and celebrate our engagement!

I got to try on my mom's wedding dress and veil as well as look at wedding dresses for the first time! Even Gavin (my nephew) came to check out the dresses. He was the most perfect gentleman commenting on how pretty I looked in every dress! -Amy

Camping

We were invited to go camping with our friends in Maryland Adam, Jess and their dog Dexter(one of Casey's friends). We purchased a new tent, cooler, and even electric skillet and packed all of this into Amy's Taurus. Scott even brought his grill and french press coffee maker! Amy barley survived the first night as it got into the mid 30's however it was worth it because the following days and night were perfect. Casey had a blast on her first camping trip!!!

Joe and Emily's Wedding

Our good friends Joe and Emily had a wonderful wedding back in the good ol' East Lansing Michigan. It was such an honor to be a part of their day and celebrate with them!

May 2012

After living in Maryland for just over a year I finally made it to DC along with my parents Jay and Mary Kay. Can't forget Casey - she is a very well traveled dog! On my parents trip out to Maryland my mom and I also looked at more wedding dresses - definitely some pretty ones out there!

August 2012

Stone Harbor, NJ

Traverse City/Bellaire, Michigan

We packed up our rental car and left before the sun came up to make it to Portage Michigan for the first annual Hirschman Pool Party! Not only did Scott and I hang with our friends, Casey got to play with her North Carolina boyfriend Tucker!

We continued the drive to Traverse City and met up with Scott's Parents and family. Can you believe it, we saw our ceremony and reception venue for the first time in person! We were quite impressed, can't beat the view of the bay this place has to offer.

Check out some of the pictures from our trip in Traverse City. We can't believe the next time we are here is for our wedding.

We set off again to drive to Bellaire where Amy's family stayed, only a short 45 minutes from where Scott grandma and Aunt's, Uncle's, and cousins live!
