Such a Sweetheart

I just wanted to take a moment to brag on my wonderfully amazing, extremely thoughtful Fiancé.

I came home from work and he surprised me with some beautiful orange roses just because!

He probably doesn't know this but orange roses are said to be a combination of yellow roses that symbolize friendship and red roses which symbolize love. Perfect since he's my best friend and the love of my life!


Just wanted everyone to know what a lucky lady I am & what a sweetheart I will be marrying :)

(This one looks yellow but I promise they are orange)

Wedding Bands

So I already have my wedding band because my wonderful husband-to-be bought my rings in a set but we still need him a wedding band.

We went to look a little this weekend (since we want to buy bits and pieces over the next couple of years) and it's kind of a weird experience. He's never worn any kind of jewelry except for a watch so it's odd to see him with a ring on. It will definitely take some getting used to for both of us once he does pick one and starts wearing it.

On the plus side, he found a couple he liked and what an inadvertently thrifty shopper I'm marrying, all of his favorites were VERY do-able price wise. He has a basic style in mind it's just a matter of finding the perfect one. After all, he'll be wearing it everyday for the rest of his life!! :)

Mom and baby are doing great after a home delivery in a birthing pool. We got the call at about 10:30 pm our time. Congrats to Mommy Amanda, Daddy Richard, and Big Brother Austin!


P.S. Today is our 3 1/2 year anniversary of being together and our 3 month anniversary of being engaged :)

What an exciting week!

YAY FOR BABIES!

This is totally un-wedding related but AMANDA'S IN LABOR !! That means that Jesse and I will be Aunt Keleigh and Uncle Jesse soon!

We are sooo excited and can't wait to plan a trip to go meet baby Fuentes!

(We are also excited to find out what it is... we are guessing girl but who knows!)

We are hoping mom and baby make it through labor healthy and happy and can't wait to see pictures of the new Hanrahan-Fuentes family edition!
