explanation.

Alex wanted me to offer a small explanation of why we took engagement photographs. It seems that it might be a new concept to some of you out there. Well, engagement photos are used for annoucements in newspapers, for various pre-wedding activities, and are in general just part of the wedding photograph package. Often times the pictures are taken at a location that is special to the couple, either the location of a first date, the place they met, or perhaps where the engagement occurred. (We are hoping to get to the funeral home at some point and snap just a few pictures for fun!) Alex and I decided on the Grand Basin at Forest Park because it is where ended up the first night that Alex was in Saint Louis back in January. It has become a special spot to us and seemed like the perfect place to snap a few pictures together.

By the way, the electricity is back in Saint Louis. My parents went 6 days!

New Jersey is going well. We went to a Brazilian barbecue last night at 10 pm! More updates to follow......
