making it official

So I thought I could sneak the engagement party into my sister’s graduation party this summer, but it never was meant to be. However, I am very happy we did have one this week because it gave me a chance to meet BJ’s dad, to see his mom and brother again, and to thank all our family members for their support. If only I had another week off, because this has not been a break at all! There has been a ton of cleaning, renovations, errand running, and late nights. Whew. Here are a few images I was able to capture.

I removed all the hideous vinyl wallpaper, painted, and hung some of my and my sister’s artwork.

Still a little teary-eyed from my speech. Why am I so emotional!?
