I’m engaged!

Mikey popped the question during a lovely picnic out at Antelope Island (a national park in Layton, Utah not too far from my home). It was very sweet……I’m normally not a crier either and he totally brought me to tears.

Yeehaw! Here’s to becoming a “Voorhees” (my soon-to-be last name)…. and yes, that’s my shadow displaying me…the true nerd that I am. LOL

And lastly, some other images I took that day….

The beach where he got on one knee….

The view from the spot he proposed…. (check out that flare! LOL)

and finally, the setting sun as we left Antelope Island….

P.S. Dear California - I’m sorry for your wild fires, but the ash in the air does provide us Utah’ns some incredible sunsets….which made my special day even more beautiful.

I’m almost done editing this adorable family’s session and couldn’t help but put up a few for them to see. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Aren’t they SO cute?!

This tiny little bean decided he wasn’t going to stick around in that stuffy womb for the whole time, LOL. He came 6 weeks early, but was healthy enough to come home right away!

And one with his super sweet big brother too. I just love his pj’s!

Many of you may not know I lost my brother-in-law in a horrific auto accident last September; understandibly our family has not been the same since.

My retired father-in-law is a master gardner and helps a family friend create a beautiful yard each year. As a tribute, he created a memorial garden in honor of our lost brother and son. He asked if I would come take pictures; Of course I was honored to….

My faithful blog follower Alette guess correctly — the pic is of an elevator! It was taken in New York City at one of the Marriott hotels. My family and I were touring the city and heard that you could ride the elevator up to the top floor and get a great view of the city…. so we tried it out, but couldn’t figure out where to see the skyline. LOL

Anyhow, the pic is on the ground level looking up and each one of those grate looking things is the guard on each floor’s hallway. Pretty cool, eh?
