I'm gaining another SISTER!!

I know, I know....its been OVER a month since I have posted!

Aside from that, my brother asked Shayna to marry him on Friday!

He was staying with us all week because he taking a class in OKC. He could hardly concentrate all week because he had just picked up the ring from Israel's before he left to come down here. All week he would talk about "the big night," all while rambling off ideas of what he should do. Studying was next to impossible, however, he did get some in.

Friday night Shayna came down for what she thought was going to be a double date night with Zach and I. A few hours before they left for dinner, "it dawned on me" that I had to babysit that night (which I really did). Well, anyways, one thing led to another and by 5:45 they were headed out the door, just the two of them. Zach and I hurried them out trying to hide our excitement and knowing they had reservations for 6 at Cafe de Brazil. The night before Ryan had met up with a guy at the resturant and planned out a romantic evening complete with an outside balcony set up just for the two of them. (*Remember this was on one of those days that it was absolutely beautiful out) Music was playing, candles were lit (or were at least meant to be lit), champange was waiting...all at the end of a rose petal walkway.

I am happy to say that we are all very excited for Shayna to be a part of our family!! They are perfect for each other. I couldn't imagine a better lady to be my new sister-in-law!

Thank you, Lord, for bringing Shayna and Ryan together!

I. HEART. SHUTTERFLY

I hope you all were able to jump on this amazing deal from Shutterfly a little faster than me! My computer has been doing weird things and FINALLY, my last attempt...I get the email and I'm set to write my post about SHUTTERFLY!!

This year shutterfly had an amazing promotion...(don't worry, if you missed it, there will always be great deals throughout the year)...they are giving 50 free cards to bloggers! Check. It. Out. Its definitely a great way to save a little cash this year on your Christmas cards! Unfortunately, I had already ordered my Christmas cards when I heard about the offer...but why not order more? I only ordered 20 to begin with so I think with 50 more I will definitely be able to reach everyone on our list!

Not only is shutterfly a great place to print your pictures, they also have amazing deals on gifts...personalized with your precious pictures!! You can make calendars, mugs, cards, stationary, photo books, ornaments and SO much more! I am pretty sure that every year my parents count on me giving them a photo calendar along with the reast of their gifts, if not, I'd be in trouble!!

Giving a shutterfly gift card is another great way to give this year...there is so much to pick from!

Now the hard part is going to be picking out what I want this year...how will I ever decide?

Here are a few I am choosing from:

Love the black and white with red and green.

I love the options Shutterfly gives you with being able to put mutiple pictures on a card as well!

I love the simplicity of this one.

Well, I better get to choosing! Merry Christmas!...and thank you Shutterfly!
