Heritage gardens

Today we chose our Reception center! we put down the money to save the Date and we're getting even more excited! We chose Heritage Gardens in Sandy. The website is www.heritagegardens.com Its a really beautiful place and I just absolutely fell in love with it. I'm so excited to start our Journey there!

We went there with my Dad and Step mom, Seth's Mom and Step dad met us there and looked around with us. It was done how I do most of my shopping the first place we went to and I was I hooked! We really wanted to go more midway around Bountiful or something but I felt like bountiful was a bit expensive and just not quite what I was looking for.

That's my only update so far next on the list dress shopping and bridal show so look to hear more then :)

What we have planned so far....

Okay I thought I'd put up an update of what we've been up to so far.... it really isn't much we've been busy with work and stuff like that.

Our Date is March 11th 2010, incase you didn't already know. We chose our colors Red and Black. Sheree is going to make our cake and we're still looking at ideas for it. We haven't really decided on a place yet, although I did find a place I really like at least from looking at it online :) But who knows things can change. I have a dress I like but I need to get my girls together to go look at it again and get it ordered. I'll announce Bridesmaids after Seth picks the rest of his groomsmen because we're thinking of a few options still. We've been talking about honeymoon places and other vauge little details but thats about as far as we've gotten.. I know we need to get a move on and I'll update you more when we know more :) LOVE YOU ALL!!!

and here a few pics from our photoshoot with Natalie

The Story of us

From him:

Ok.... So where do I even start?? We met at a party my brother Sean was having, (she works with him at Megaplex.) She approached me and asked if I was the 311 fan. I was struck by her beauty and didnt quite know how to react! Pretty sure I made a fool of myself! The very next day we went to a movie "FANBOYS" a movie about star wars fans. ;) Joe invited Andrea and Brit invited me. Soon after I found her on Facebook and friend requested her. We would talk and flirt finishing eachothers 311 lyrics that we posted :) Best time ever :) So we started seeing eachother and went to the 311 concert together and had a blast! I bought the ring a few weeks ago, and knew it was just perfect! and had it inscribed with the saying that she absolutely loves which makes it that much more perfect!! I spoke with her father Don on Friday after i got off work and on my way to go see Andrea, so she had no idea that i had even talked to him about it at all! So it was a complete surprise to her when it finally came. It was kinda a whim i decided to do it today, it just felt like the right time. So seemingly randomly... I decided that we would go walk her favorite trail in farmington, which is right behind Lagoon. Walked and talked for a while about just random things, some of it about food, (because we were hungry!) but mostly just nothing at all. I tried to get her to walk to the lake which has a dock, jetty type thing that i wanted to do it on. But she got tired so we stopped at a bench before we got there. I got so impatient i just did it there on that bench. It was so easy and relaxed it just flowed so perfectly! So now we are engaged to be married and i couldn't be happier!!! I LOVE YOU FOREVER ANDREA!!!!!! ;)

From her:

Lets start at the very begining a very good place to start :) Seth's Brother Sean is my boss and a really great friend of mine ( if I could make him wear a dress I'd make him a brides maid... JK) So I went to a party at Seans house and had heard from Chris and Sean before that Seans brother really liked 311 like I did... I bit obsessed if you couldn't tell from our wedding date ;) So I met Seth at Seans party and asked him 'are you the one that likes 311?' He looked at me like I was crazy I was thinking ...oh okay maybe not... ?? but then he said 'yeah......' So I asked if he was going to the concert and he said 'probably' we didn't really talk much after that but he left early and I was sad.

The next day I was invited by mutal friends to go see fanboys and he sat next to me and I thought he was so cute! We started talking ALOT on facebook about lots of things how he hadn't seen newsies and alot about 311!

a little over a month later I went down to hang out with Britnee and go play games at Seans house... this was the day before the 311 album was relased and Seth told me 'I have the new album would you like a copy of it?' (Don't worry yes we stole it early but both of us bought the extended version from itunes the next day) I was so excited!! and posted that night on facebook that Seth was my new favorite person!

about a week later Seth posted that he was going to be home alone with nothing to do so I suggested I come over and watch newsies with him. He wrote me back and said when I said tonight or tuesday he couldn't decide so I said how about both :) So I went down on sunday and was pretty nervous but totally comfortable at the same time. I really wanted him to hold my hand and half way through yes man (yeah I didn't make him watch newsies I know) he finally did!! and a little later asked me if I wanted him to kiss me and I said '...maybe...' and so he did we spent the rest of the night listening to music talking and kissing:) Tuesday was much the same and every day since then I've fallen more and more in love!

most of you have probably already read my side of the engagment since its on this same blog but it was so perfect and Im so happy and so in love! I absolutely love my ring! he picked it himself and its so beautiful and perfect! I can't imagine not having Seth in my life He's amazing and sweet and so much like me. I'll love you forever till I die and even after Seth! You're my rock my baby and I can't wait to spend my whole life with you!

Our Engagement!

August 16th 2009

Today we went for a walk on my favorite trail by lagoon in farmington we walked the whole trail and then went and sat on a bench at the end of the trail. We were talking for a little bit and then he started playing with his shoe so he could get down on one knee and when he turned back to me he was holding a ring. I was so shocked and excited! and he said to me Andrea Nicole Atchison will you marry me? and I responded yes of coarse I can't wait to spend forever with you! it was sweet and perfect it was totally both of us all over. way relaxed and exciting! Im so so so in love and still can't belive I found my perfect match, best friend and true love! thats all im going to write for now because I want to spend time with my love and get ready to go get pictures done with Natalie so there will be more to come once I have pictures :) Oh and the inside of my ring says come what may which is one of my favorite sayings!
