Derek and I started premarital counseling today! We were both looking forward to it, to gain knowledge and tools to help us make our relationship more positive and successful! We feel that we have a very strong relationship, but there is always room for growth within every couple. My friend Bri recommended our officiant and his wife, Bob and Robin Fossum; he is going to marry us and with that comes 10 weeks of the counseling.
The material they teach from is based off of information derived from studies on thousands of successful marraiges, and the five key things they all had in common. Over the course of our time with them we will discuss communication, conflict resolution, finances, love and respect.
We are very excited to learn and grow together, and to be able to utilize these tools throughout our lifetime commitment of marriage!!!

Engagement Photos!
Derek and I are so excited to work with our photographer, Daniel Stark! He is an absolutely amazing, talented photographer. We are already thrilled with our engagement pictures, and cannot wait for him to document our wedding! It was so important for me to find an impressive photographer, because I want to capture all the events and emotion on our special day and have those pictures to remind us forever! For more of Daniel's work check out www.DanielStarkPhotography.com
We decided to go downtown Portland, on the waterfront in the industrial area. As we were walking around to different locations, we passed by our car so we grabbed Denali! We were so excited to be able to get her in on the fun! We were happy to get pictures with the whole family!
Below are a few of our favorite shots! Enjoy!

New Year's Resolution!
Hey guys!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! So, Derek and I finished our Save the Dates this weekend! I was bold, and added this website address, as opposed to starting up a different "wedding website".... the only problem is.. I'm terrible about blogging! So I am hoping this will force me into sitting down and updating our site! Now that everyone has the address! :)
Our wedding is quickly approaching which of course is both extremely exciting and also fairly stressful! I feel like I have soo much to do, and wonder why since I have had a year and a half to get things done! Oh well! I guess we just enjoyed being engaged for too long, and maybe should have gotten started on the planning earlier! We still have time! :) During the holidays because we were so busy, Derek imposed a "no wedding planning until January 1st" rule.... well, now its game time!!!
I vow to keep our site updated with wedding information and details, for those of you that would like to stay in the loop and see whats happening. Hopefully I will be able to stay on top of it!
Happy New Year everyone!
Kels and Derek
