four hundred thirty five

four hundred thirty five is a much less intimidating number than the starting six hundred thirty two, it's almost a whole two hundred days shorter! a friend of mine just got engaged recently and she only has to wait (as of today) one hundred twelve days. in fact i know of six other people who either got engaged just before us or recently and all of their dates are before mine. oooh september 24th 2011 you still seem so far away.

so i continue my search for ideas. if you know me, you know i love trees and have ended up incorporating them into my designs unconsciously. i also love candles so what better way then to put the two of those together?! my thoughts exactly.

five hundred twenty five

quail ridge lodge : wentzville

this was our first choice, this place dictated the date we would choose. a gorgeous lodge with a full wall of windows, which overlook a lake and gazebo. a perfect place to celebrate our day. the deck is huge and wraps around the west side which over looks a second lake and a few rolling fields. quail ridge park is a place dedicated to returning its land to the natural prairie it once was. it also houses a great frisbee golf course and a large dog park.
