Engagement Pictures

This weekend Gregg and I flew to Lubbock to have our Engagement Pictures taken and spend some time with our families! It was a very busy and eventful weekend for us. We flew into Lubbock around 9am Saturday morning. We were a little rushed getting to the airport that morning since Gregg had worked Friday and didn't get off till 6:15am Sunday morning. Gregg dropped me off to get our luggage checked in and he went to park. I checked us in and got our luggage checked and was waiting in the security line when he got to me. We boarded our plane and headed to Lubbock. When we got to Lubbock and went to get our luggage only 2 of our 3 bags had arrived. My bathroom bag which had all of my make-up and jewelry in it had not made it onto the plane in Dallas (I know that I shouldn't have packed that stuff- especially the jewelry in the bag but I just wasn't thinking)! I panicked of course since we had to be ready to take pictures in 1 hour and I had only put on foundation that morning! Mom and I went to Ulta where I bought all new Bare Minerals make-up and the nice lady took pitty on me and gave me a make over! After that when we were leaving the house to head to Tech Gregg got bit on the cheek by a mosquito and that swelled up terribly (the mosquitoes are apparently terrible in Lubbock right now since they have had so much rain lately)! But we made it to Tech on time to meet our photographers and the rest of the day was really fun! We spend almost 2 hours with the photographers, changed clothes 3 times, and took pictures at 4 different places around Lubbock. We started at Tech and took pictures outside of the Chemistry Building, at the Seal, and at the Fountain. Next, we moved to McKenzi Park, across from the fair grounds, and took pictures in this wooded area there (again the mosquitoes were terrible and so we had to rush to avoid being bitten more). After that we went to some random building that was painted red and shot some really fun pictures (Gregg got to run and jump over me)! Our final stop was in downtown Lubbock where we took pictures in this alley behind an old building and on an old fire escape. Gregg especially loved the fire escape and has already said that he would really like to go there again for more pictures! My Mom went with us to be our extra set of eyes and make sure that everything looked perfect. It was fun to have her there and for her to get to share in such a special moment with us. There are a few of our pictures that have been posted on our photographers main website www.memoreebarrett.com. The rest are password protected but once I figure out what I want to buy I will post some of them on here!
