A New Year's Proposal

On 1-1-11 our oldest daughter got engaged! Her boyfriend (now fiance) took her geocaching and he had the geocache box set up for her. When she opened it she found a ring pop which she was thrilled with (she loves ring pops) LOL Then when she turned around to show him the ring pop he was knelt down on one kneee with the engagement ring and asked her to marry him....and in between crying she said, "YES"




We are all very excited for her! Oh and here's the beautiful ring...blessed girl!!

Both of them will be graduating this may with degrees in Registered Nursing.


They are planning on a rustic garden September wedding. I'm excited to decorate! I'll be sure and show you what we come up with here, but if you all have any ideas or inspiration pics...please let me know!!

Nice Day for a Fall Wedding

We went to a beautiful fall wedding yesterday. The bride is a daughter of one of our friends. It was at a beautiful location so thought I would share a few photos just in case any of you are in Arkansas and looking for a pretty place to hold a wedding. It is called Anthony Chapel in Garvan Gardens in Hot Springs, AR.

Nature was the perfect decor!

The happy couple....Mr & Mrs. Essner

Centerpieces were vases with curly branches and hydrangeas on some tables & carved polka dot pumpkins on others lit with candles.

The groom's cake

Cake was stunning with hydrangeas and yummy!

May God Bless the Happy Couple All The Days of Their Lives!
