engagement pics versus rain

Today - engagement pictures at four.
Today - rain forecasted all day.

I spent the first couple hours of my morning sitting in a waiting room while I got four new tires put on the car... great fun, you know. Unfortunately, the news was on the entire time.... the news? Rain, rain, rain. I tried to ignore the forecast, but it was obvious we might be re-scheduling. I almost finished my book (Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls - SOO good!), but all I could think about was how annoyed I was at the weather.

Then I went home, paced around a while, headed to the salon to get my hair done... and returned home to continue pacing (and calling my mom every hour to whine).

Well, long story short, the rain HELD OFF (winning!), and we got to have our pictures taken. My sister came to be in charge of Raleigh... and she was my personal stylist... popping in and out with a comb and snapping a lot of pictures herself. Here is a sneak peek from my personal camera - Thanks, Ali!
