Pictures!

Ok so if you want to see a few of our engagement pictures then you can go to Linettecrosby.com and click on Joel and Elissa. These are a few of our pictures. There are more however I wanted to see them so bad that linette was kind enough to work really hard and get these out for me. Now I am not sure how we are going to go about getting them for family to pick though but I know there will be a way. It might just take a bit of time.

Wedding Shoes

Ok so the wedding shoe search has been exhausting. First of all, I want flats so that I can wear them all night, they need to be ivory or an off white color to match my dress and I wanted some this will pearls or beads to add some glam. I have not found a thing ... until yesterday. these are the shoes that I have fallen in love with...



I They come in a bone color that looks perfect the only dilemma I am having is that they are 109.00! They are by designer Jeffery Campbell. Now I need some advice from those that have had to buy wedding shoes... is that WAY too much to spend for the perfect shoe, or should my search continue? I have looked online and have not found anything I have been in love with and these just do it for me, but am I being ridiculous?

The BEST weekend

I had a great weekend this weekend so I thought it would be a nice thing to share. First of all Joel forgot our 6 month anniversary. he says he didn't but I know he did. SO he surprised me a Saturday to took me to Clara's in Lansing. It was very nice and he let me get what ever I wanted. needless to say thougth it will not be a place we go very often because it was very expensive. Then we went to the meridian mall and looked around for the endless search for wedding shoes. Still no luck.

On Sunday we went to the Lawn mower races in Maple rapids. Now I do not know who I have never been to one of these but I had a blast. really it is all about sitting around drinking and watching these lawn mowers going really fast. it was super4 fun and all the money that they get each week goes to a different charity. this week was Ele's place. the next race is on the 7th of June and it is 5.00 per car! and tons of fun!

Prayer Requests

So I know I do not post a lot. But there are a few things that we have made decision on that I wanted to let everyone know. We are going to have our bathroom redone. It took us a while to get there (me being a little tight with money... I wonder who I take after ....MOM)but I feel that it will be necessary to get that stuff done before the house will sell.

I also have a few prayer requests that I would like to ask for:

1. for the house to get sold as fast a possible but also for continued peace in my heart about living where we do.

2. that we are making the right decision with the bathroom and guidance with that.

3. My job and how some employees are making it miserable for me and patience with that and to remain the better person.

4. That my nephew will finish cooking and be born already! This has been the longest pregancy EVER!

5. and last but not least that this next months fly by to the weeding and everythgin goes smoothly and as planned.. I cannot wait to be Mrs. Ryan!


that is the only update I have sorry my life is so borning. It si bound to get much more exciting as the day comes closer!
