Ellie and Richard's Wedding Party Highlight Reel

• Katie was the star of her kickball team, scoring a home run in the playoffs. Katie was also on the homecoming court and she was 4H Vigo County Fair Queen runner-up.

Ellie and Richard Get Engagement Photos

We spent a fantastic Memorial Day weekend afternoon in one of our favorite places, Bloomington, Indiana having engagement photos taken by Jamie Owens and his wonderful partner and wife Brandy. We visited some great spots on campus, including Memorial Stadium, much to Richard’s delight :), and made a special visit to Nicks. Jamie and Brandy did a great job and we are so excited to have them on hand to capture everything on our wedding day. Please see some of the photos below and feel free to peruse them all at http://jscottphotography.instaproofs.com/. Enter your email address to access the photos.

Ellie and Richard Get a Website

This actually happened in June of 2008 (well the domain name at least), unbeknownst to Richard. Apparently, Ellie was more confident that there was going to be the popping of a question than Richard was confident of the answer... ergo, with the help of Danica Patrick and godaddy.com, Ellie purchased www.ellieandrichard.com on June 16, 2008--8 months before the engagement! And now with the help of blogspot.com and some techies we work with to show us how to use it and put it all together, we can share with you all the important stuff regarding our wedding, i.e. where we are registered, when and where we are getting married, where we have reserved a block of hotel rooms, and also... where we are registered. :)
