Assembling a party!

and then there were three..

Just after Jason and I announced our engagement, Natalie and Krystle announced theirs! It's going to be a crazy year. I would like to apologize in advance to my mother.

So far, our dates are looking like either March/2011 or January depending on my school situation! - Natalie is getting married in July/2011 and Krystle in May/2011.

Munoz/Sugden Engagement Dinner and Costa Rica

Jason and I hated leaving each other, but the time apart has made us that much more excited to see each other! Before we leave for Costa Rica (the site of Jason's first idea for a proposal site)

My mom and step-dad took the whole Munoz clan to dinner at Lucilles. (The restaurant Jason and I ate at when I first took him to meet my family)

We had an incredible time and were reminded of how blessed we are to have such an amazing family!

The very next day- we were off to Costa Rica!

My dad took Jason and I on the most incredible trip. Rainforests, rafting, beaches, family....it was a pre-honeymoon honeymoon. Such an incredible trip. Many thanks to my Dad and Step-mom for hosting us. It was such a blessing to get to show Jason where my peeps come from! Pura Vida!

That's what friends are for....

After a crazy vacation, we decided to move back to OKC for a little while longer....by little while, we mean until California stops having earthquakes. That said, we really wanted to celebrate our engagement with our friends, so we planned a party at Lucky Strike Downtown. Obviously, it was a karaoke engagement party and obviously our friends are the raddest cats in town!

Take a look at the pictures!

The Ring

The ring is made out of several pieces of jewelry handed down from Jasons mother and two grandmothers. Jason knew how badly I wanted an heirloom ring to pass down to my future rugrats and the ring we designed was stunning. I am so blessed that the ring I wear is attached to three women I love and respect as much as I do these ladies. There are no words to express my gratitude.

also...I LOVE MY RING!!!!

Say Yes to the Stress

Time to try on some dresses with the family. It is always a stressful task getting all the Munoz ladies to get together at the same time. It went remarkably well and thankfully all the ladies were able to make it! I spent the day trying on dress after dress but none of them really compared to that first dress I tried on. I keep thinking I'm just going to have to go back to that one...but I have to make sure I give the dress stuff all I got!

Thank God for James! My best friend and Man of Honor was there to keep the overpriced dress designer in check. Also to remind me that I was not getting married in a cathedral so the massive "Belle" esque dress I had on probably had to go. Not gonna lie - it was really awesome to put that baby on. Felt like a real princess.

My mom was wonderful, I honestly don't know what I would do without her. She bought us all brunch and was the perfect consultant when trying on dresses. I couldn't get the woman to shed a tear though...still working on that.

First Wedding Rags & First Engagement Dinner!

August 6, 2009

The first wedding magazine was pretty much purchased the very next day. I'm a total loser.

While I'm making fun of myself... I have a profile on the knot. yikes. I also tried on dresses. This all happened within a week of getting engaged. The very first dress I tried on felt like the one! I just had a feeling about it...BUT I can't buy a wedding dress without Debi seeing it so it will have to wait. Plenty of time to think as we are considering a March 2011 date!

Jan and Pat (Jason's mom and grandma) are two of my favorite ladies in the world! They generously through us a tiny dinner to celebrate! These two ladies are such a blessing to us. They have the most wonderful ability to make anyone they come in contact with feel totally loved!

Two of Jason's best friends, Josh and Brad joined us for dinner and cake!

cake. good. -
