New Posts to come...

Okay...Its official...I suck at blogging! Or should I say - making the time to blog!?

I looked down at my cute "Wedding Day Countdown Clock" (courtesy of my bridesmaid Debbie) this evening and had a mini freak out, which then turned into excitement. Why you ask? Because Andy and I will be getting married in T-minus 100 days! That means tomorrow we dropped down to double instead of triple digits until the BIG DAY! Oh the very MANY things to do still!

With that being said here's a quick recap of the longer posts I promise to write about this weekend:
*latest and greatest wedding plans
*recap of our Couple's Shower hosted by the Brito Family
*my new J-O-B in the dental field (thank you Sam!!)
*Andy's latest golf outings
*and any other news that I can think of when i'm not quite so exhausted!

Hope you have received your Save The Dates and have made your way to our wedding website:
Andy & Kim's Wedding Website

Majority of wedding details and accommodations have been posted on the site so check it out and let me know if you have any questions!!

Hope all is well with everyone and sorry if we've been MIA - the Brito-Crall household has been pretty crazy these days!

Love,
Kim

PS. Don't forget to Floss! haha work has officially made me crazy! g'night!

My little sissy is not so little anymore...

Yesterday was my not so little, YOUNGER sister's Sweet 16 birthday! We have a 10 1/2 year gap between us so I've been trying to transition from the "motherly sister" to just the "older sister", if that makes any sense at all!? There was a weird couple years where I couldn't help but try to make her innocent and protect her as much as possible. Now that she's getting older and I'm no longer living with her all the time I can't help but let her be her own person. But with that said it makes it easier to be more sisterly vs. always trying to take care of her, and although I wouldn't trade the past 16 years for anything, I'm excited for the years to come! She's not into sports like I was but she has a HUGE passion for music (which I think is from me taking her to concerts all the time when she was younger) and would love to get into cosmetology (bring on the free haircuts!). She is growing up so fast and turning into such a beautiful young lady and I'm so proud of her! She looked so cute yesterday at dinner in her new dress and heels - which put her a good foot taller than me since I was in flip-flops! Yes, she's taller than me anyway, but let's not talk about it okay!? Anywho - my point being that she's getting older and so am I but I feel like it's much more drastic for her. I look forward to having her stand by me as I get married and the many more years to come together as best sisser friends! :)

Happy Birthday and I love you Sisser!
Xoxo,
Your (older) Sisser

Engagement Pics are DONE!

Last night Andy and I went to the Desert Botanical Garden and took our engagement pictures with Mary Sandy. I will be the first to say that after looking at photography sites and thinking how easy and fun it looks - I was SO wrong! Being a model for a couple hours turned out to be much harder than it seems - it didn't help that we had a constant audience around at ALL times. With guidance from Mary we were able to loosen up a bit and get comfortable with the the camera. I'm very excited to see how they turned out! The main reason we wanted to take the pictures at the DBG is because their is a special exhibit - Chihuly: The Nature of Glass. It's something unique and hopefully made as a beautiful back drop. By the time we were walking out we had a family calling us the "married couple" because they managed to go on the same paths we did. One guy did a double take of Andy - I think he thought we were famous or something and Mary was the paparazzi! Ha!

Overall it was a great time and got us used to being photographed so come the Big Day we're ready to model and act like we're professionals! So check back in a couple weeks and we will hopefully have pics to post! :)
