One of my best friends since freshman year of high school just got engaged! I'm so excited for shauna and andy! (oh yah.. i've decided to start using real names because it's stupid to not on here... i'm not going to tell anything tooo bad on this little blog) I'm so excited for them. I'm also quite excited/proud of myself because I've known he was going to ask her since December! Yup.. since december! and I haven't said one word :) That was really hard because Shauna has been waiting for this for awhile .. and I just wanted to scream it's coming! Especially because we lived together and I saw her everyday.. keeping that big of a secret was rough. I love this picture of just their hands in the black and white. Such a great (self) shot! I really miss photography....I hope to own my own studio one day and shoot weddings, babies, kids, couples.. all of the things I love the most!!Anyway.. back to the bride and groom to be! What I like most about their story.. is that.. it doesn't have some hollywood/disney start. It's not like the met and it was love at first sight. They didn't have some amazingly cute little story that you'd see on "perfect proposal" or "the wedding story" I think too many people (myself included) believe that when you find "the one" you'll know right away and some great, hilarious, cute, sentimental story will follow. It always doesn't work out that way... and when it does, those people are lucky to have it, but it's not needed for a lasting marriage. Shauna, and andy for that matter will tell you that this relationship started out like many college relationships do.. after a night out :) They will both say they had to work at it, and work both together and apart to make it work.....but more times than not...life long relationships can start like that. I love how shauna said... "it took us awhile to realize we were soul mates" So cute, and so true. We're young.. we don't know what we want, who we want, or why we want them. Sometimes it takes awhile to grasp something. I can't think of a better guy for her. I lived with Andy as well this past year... and they compliment each other so well. Andy will have shauna laughing at all of his funny, and even not funny jokes until they are old and grey :) I can't wait to watch them grow together for the next many years..... and I hope one day to be 1/2 has happy as they are! I've seen shauna experience.. I believe her first kiss and first boyfriend.. and I'm so excited with who she has picked for her last :)
