I'm marrying a KING!

That's right... Tyler got Top M.O.C. (Man On Campus) aka Homecoming King! I am so proud of him! It was partly judged by your campus involvement, an interview with community leaders, and then a student vote! It's nice that he can be recognized for all his hard work and dedication over the years. He really was a deserving candidate. The Homecoming Queen was Camille Ward who is sweet girl who is also very deserving of the award for as much as she does. (She also won the community service award like Tyler!) Here is a picture right after they were "crowned."


Now on to telling you what we did for the 1 year! We got massages! Tyler knew how much I loved the one I was given in February and thought I would like to go back. He had never been but was curious to see what it was like. So we each got a massage and went to dinner at Blue Water. Tyler ended up knowing a guy that works there and we got a free appetizer and dessert! It was a wonderful evening! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful guy!

The wedding plans are coming along very nicely. We are in search of a florist and a baker. Those are the only major things we have left on the list. We got the rest of our engagement pictures proofs back from the first session. They are really great. Here is a few more that I really happen to love. I think I like the first one because is it in a forest!



We are going to look at more houses tonight. We aren't cheating on the little yellow house, just making sure it is THE ONE for us. The developer is being difficult and we would have to deal with him a lot so we aren't sure that is something we want to before we go too much further. It also might be nice to have a yard for little Fletcher. (For those of you who don't know... that is our future dog. We named him Fletcher in honor of the business building where Tyler and I met. I know ... strange... but at least its not our first born right?) - ECM(F)

Engagement Pictures!

Like I said before, Tyler and I do everything in the rain. We went to take engagement pictures this past Saturday. Now if you live in TN you would know that it has been a monsoon here for the past week and a half. It literally poured all day up until the minute the photographer pulled up to the park to start pictures. This was after I convinced her that we had to at least TRY to get some pictures in. (We are on a schedule people!) Anyways, we are going to try and take some more on a more sunny day later in the fall but, there are some pretty amazing ones that did turn out.. rain and all!

Also, it is Homecoming Week here in Chattanooga. I am pleased to announce that Tyler won the community service award in honor of his dedication to the Chattanooga and UTC community! He will be presented the award at the Homecoming game on Saturday night. Also, he is on the Homecoming Court. We will find out on Saturday night if he got Homecoming King or not. I am so proud of him!

One year ago tomorrow Tyler and I will have been dating for one year! It is hard to believe that it has been a year! It seems fast but it also seems like we have been dating for a lot longer than that! Tyler and I agreed to make each other presents for this occasion instead of purchasing. He has planned some secret date for tomorrow night and has been giving me clues about it all week. Here are my clues from him so far:

1. Your must wear a skirt
2. Think outside the block
3. The numbers 2 & 3 are significant
4. You like it and I(Tyler) can't decide if I do or not

I've got nothing. I can't figure it out. My roommate, Laura, knows but I am not allowed to ask or he will cancel. (Some of you might already know the Valentine's Day story... I can't stand not knowing) I will let you know what it is when I do! -ECM(F)
