First Things First

Blogging is overwhelming. One post, a little "about me" update and I feel mentally kaput. So I think I'll kick things off with a little stroll down memory lane and share a few pics from the engagement.



We took this photo at the center of Lana'i at the Four Seasons Koele Lodge. It was July 4th and we had just arrived from O'ahu. Bill surprised me with an escape to Hawaii for the long weekend. Little did I know, the real surprise was yet to come.


I think the look on my face says it all.


In the secluded library late at night at Koele Lodge. Too bad it was 2am back home on the west coast... we had to wait until the morning to share the news.

The landscape at Koele is like nothing else. We took this the morning after the proposal on our last walk through the property before leaving for Maui. Lana'i is breathtakingly beautiful. Picture in your mind what Hawaii looks like... then add a dash of the Montana mountainside and a sprinkle of Southeastern Asian influence and there you have it.

It should be no surprise that after this romantic weekend in such a beautiful place that I figured I had at least one aspect of our wedding planning down: The Venue.

Then I got my first lesson in "Planning for Unexpected Disappointments."
