Work Work Work!

Happy 30th Breck! (My bro-in-law's birthday is today!)

This week: I did go meet a lady to try her cakes, Jennifer Jones, at Icing on the Top! She is fabulous and does such amazing work! She is precious and such a great Christian woman! Brooke and Claire Bella came along with me to taste test....and boy did Claire Bear LOVEEEEEEEE that! She had icing and filling everywhere on her little face! We all got to enjoy white and chocolate cupcakes along with raspberry, strawberry, cream cheese, lemon, pinapple, chocolate, Buverian cream...fillings! YUMMY! I'm still deciding on some things but they were oh sooooo good! And sooo fun!

One of my bridesmaids, Janell Burch, is coming to stay with me this weekend and we have a huge, busy weekend planned ahead! I hope she knows what she is getting into! hahah! ;) We plan to hopefully choose dresses and shoes for the girls and get the guys suits picked out and ordered! Keep your fingers crossed we find things!!!!!AHHHH! She is also going to help me register! Ryan could care less about what we get - he just wants tools! haha!! We really don't have ANY! oops! I think we are going to register at Target, Dillard's and maybe Lowe's??? So, needless to say, we do have a lot going on!

It's mom and dad's 32nd wedding anniversary this SATURDAY and Breck's 30th birthday party so we have a very busy weekend ahead! Mom and dad are soooo cute together! 32 years of wonderful marriage for them! I hope to only mimic their wonderful lives together! Please continue to pray for my momma!!! It's hard that she's unable to do a whole lot with me but she is still involved by me telling her all that I continue to plan and do! :)

FRIDAY June 26th: CHIP'S 1st birthday! yay! (and Grandma Charlene's!!!) I got Chip a small "Happy Barky Day" cake that is made of oatmeal and something else that dog's can eat...It has little doggie bone treats all around the circle cake, it's soooo cute! I can't wait to see what he does! I'll have to put pictures on here! He's my little baby boy!!! Such a good dog! I love him!

You all have a wonderful day! I'll keep updating as much as I can! Love to all!

Hillary, Ryan, & Chip

Bridal Portraits!

Hi everyone!

Brooke posted on mom's blog a little bit about my bridal portraits...
We went to Philbrook Museum with my photographer Andrea Murphy! She is soooo incredible, so talented...she definitely has an art for photography! I encourage you to go to amurphyphoto.com to check out not only bridal portraits but maternity, engagements, family shots, etc. They are alllll beautiful! I would post my link of my bridal portraits but Ryan would definitely sneek his way to the website as well....sorry!

Natalie (White) Renfrow did my hair and it was absolutely GORGEOUS! As one of my girl-friends put it, "You looked like a Greek Goddess" hahah! Thanks Chels! My hair was up in a messy, but elegant twist, with curls....if that makes any sense at all??? :) Natalie is soooo wonderful to do my hair and she is like another sister to me! Love u Nat!

Mom had such a fun time! My Aunt Ramona drove her up to Tulsa that day so she could be there with me along with Brooke and Claire.....it is just the most incredible museum...If you are ever bored and can travel to Tulsa, go to the Philbrook Museum....It is breathtaking!

Today June 15th, Brooke and Claire met me at my florist's house, Lindi (check out bridalgardenbylindi.com) One of my bridal pics is on there....Lindi is sooo awesome and does such incredible work...She is also a graphic designer and is doing my invitations...That's what we worked on today! She is going to make them look soooo perfect!

Things are coming along - Its hard planning a wedding!!! :)

***I was going to get the word out there....If anyone knows of someone who has an old classic car that would be neat to use as a "get-away" car for us on our wedding day, please leave me a comment so I can start looking/asking around! The valet place I'm using has an old '57 Bentley but it's pretty pricey to rent so I was trying to "borrow" one!!! hahahaha :) We'll only need it to take us to the hotel....Let me know!

I'll keep everyone updated...Send me some posts with advice/ideas...Have a great day!

Love to all,
Hillary (& Ryan) :)
