Technical Difficulites

So I tried again to post another blog with pictures...and it still will not upload my pictures correctly. Now that things seem to be into a routine, I'd love to blog more regularly. So I'm in the process of figuring out a better blogging system. I'll keep you posted!

A quick update on us...married life is fantastic! We are really loving being together and living life together as one! God has blessed us tremendously. Stay tuned, more to come!

ONE WEEK!!!

Here we are! One week before the wedding! :) We have been so busy and I'm finally getting some time to get a blog posted. Unfortunately, for some reason, I can't get pictures to upload. Maybe it's time I consult my awesome bro-in-law for a better program than blogger...

We've been really busy, getting moved into our house, traveling for showers, and packing for the wedding and honeymoon! For Trevor's birthday last year, I got him tickets to the US Open Golf Championship in Pebble Beach. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures at the golf course, but it was beyond beautiful! We stayed with my friend, Kate, in San Francisco and were able to see a few of the sights there.

Give us a few weeks (okay, maybe a few months) and I'll get pictures posted somehow of our house, San Francisco, the wedding, and the honeymoon! Love to you all! One week until we are Mr. & Mrs. Trevor Moore!!

WHOA!

Hello once again from Melissa & Trevor. I cannot express how crazy things have been for us since our engagement. All good things, of course, but still CRAZY! We decided to begin house hunting so we would have a place to call our first home. That was fun for about one day. We finally found the house we both loved. We are scheduled to close on Tuesday at 4pm. Please keep us in your prayers for that process! Our plan is to paint, replace the carpet, and re-tile the kitchen before we get completely moved in.

We are also in full swing of wedding planning, of course! We have the invitations all ready to address and send out. Most of the final decisions have been made, we are just waiting on closer to time to carry them out. All of our shower dates are set. This is what June looks like for us. Come home and work, leave town for something, come home to work, leave town for something. It will be a whirlwind, but we are really excited, happy, and blessed with all that's going on.

I also will begin a new job at the University of Colorado Hospital in the NICU. I start tomorrow in the unit and I'm anxious to get started. Trevor has been wonderfully supportive through all the wedding planning, house hunting, and job change. He spent hours and hours on the computer looking at homes and also scouring craislist to find inexpensive things for our house. I cannot wait to get in and start making it our own!

We began our premarital counseling a few weeks ago. Our counselor had us take a survey seperately that compiled our responses into categories of strengths, growth areas, and things we agree/disagree on. Last week she revealed to us that for the stress level portion, we both were at 95% stress level! It was pretty funny! Most of it is circumstantial, but still!

Once we close and things get moving, I'll post some before and after pictures of our house. And I'll try to be a better blogger, but given what the next 3 months looks like for us, I can make no guarantees! More to come!

Blessed Beyond Measure

I have fallen off the face of the blogging world! Trevor and I have had a really busy, but FUN, few weeks! First, and most importantly, we are ENGAGED!!! :) A few weeks ago, I came home from work and started my laundry. I opened one of my drawers, which had been empty, and found clothes, shoes, a note, and a rose! The note was from Trevor, of course, and it said that he picked out these clothes for me and that he'd be here to pick me up at 4:30! YEA! Surprise date night! Only problem was that I wasn't supposed to find that until the next day. Oops! So the next day, Thursday, February 4, I was all dressed and ready. Right before he left to come pick me up, Trevor emailed me a slideshow he had made of all these pictures of us set to the song "True Companion" by Marc Cohn. (If you haven't heard that song, look it up right now. Incredible!). So I'm in tears by the time he got to my place to pick me up. We made our way downtown to walk around and find somewhere to have dinner. We got to this really pretty pedestrian bridge that overlooks the mountains and the downtown view. We stood there talking and enjoying the view. Then at sunset, Trevor got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! (more tears at this point!). Of course, I said YES!!! It was, by far, the best moment of my life thus far. Trevor had made dinner reservations at 2 different restaurants. We chose Elway's where they toasted us with champagne and a free desert! Here are a few pictures from that night...

Just engaged!!!

Trevor designed the ring himself. We never went to look together. I wouldn't change a single thing! It's perfect!

Trevor also had a huge, beautiful bouquet of roses waiting for me in the car. He's incredible!



The happy couple!!!


Our free desert from Elway's! It was yummy!

I truly cannot believe how blessed I am to have Trevor in my life. He is so good to me and we have so much fun together. God is doing amazing things in our lives right now and we are so grateful for the blessings! I am so thrilled to spend my life with Trevor and share all that life throws our way. Trevor, you are my true companion! I can't wait for the rest of my life!! We will be getting married July 23, 2010!

Another exciting thing is that my sister, Melanie, and her husband, Christian, welcomed their second baby boy on February 15! Keegan Luke joins Cohen as my 2 favorite little boys in the entire world! Here are a few pictures of the sweet kiddos! I LOVE being Aunt Melissa!
