Our Engagement Party

Not a whole lot happened (blog worthy) in our lives between Kara's wedding and our Engagement party. I can sum it up here: Work, class, internship, work. There you have it folks, that's what our lives were this summer!

On to the engagement party! On July 18 (yes, our lives were that boring for a month...) Jessica, Melissa (her mom) and Corkey (her aunt) hosted an e-party for us at Jess's house. Kara came home to surprise me (!!!!!), my Dad and Step-Mom made it and my uncle from Omaha and cousin even made it (ok, so he was in town by chance, but he was there!). We had so many friends and family there, I couldn't believe it. I have no group shot of everyone who was there. What was I thinking?!

My Dad, me and my Step-Mom

So when my Dad walks to the door, I couldn't see him. What did I see instead? 50 roses. Yes, 5-0, fifty. What does one DO with 50 roses? Good question. Well, if someone graciously gives you 50 roses I suggest you bet on not using your dining room table for a while, that gives you a space to dry them.

Yep, that's 50 roses folks. Just in case you didn't believe me.

We had awesome food, Jess had a great game to make sure we're on the same page. My favorite question:
"What is your 'song'?"
Ali's Answer: "Well...we don't really have one, but our first dance is to Love Will Keep Us Alive by the Eagles, so I guess that's as close as it gets."
Ross's Answer: "Um...I don't think we have one, but if we did I'm guessing it would be something by the Eagles"

HA! That boy sure does know me. :)

Me and my awesome man :)
