Deciding on a engagement location seemed easy for Barb and Scott. It's one of those things you need do discuss and some people are less sure than others, but Steilacoom just seemed to fit. It's a sleepy historic town near Tacoma, Washington.

Barb and Scott just moved to the area not too long ago but they fell in love with the city so we came back for the engagement. They've recently become homeowners and in my opinion happen to have one of the sweetest stories. When they met Scott was serving our country overseas. Yes, he's one of the guys who spent his days sweeping the fields for mines.... can you imagine! I'm not sure how Barb held it together. They would chat online, write and call frequently. Barb would leave the computer on overnight waiting for the instant message tone just to hear it's ring. It would always arrive in the early hours of the morning when Scott's shift ended. It was their virtual 'kiss on the cheek' after a long day at work.

I'm excited for them.... getting married in August! Hurray for time together!



Oh, and for the rest of you... Happy 4th of July! I hope you are all spending time together with people you love and enjoy. I'll be boating and enjoying the sun (hopefully) and yummy BBQ.

Happy Weekend!
