We set a date! Info on Travel accommodations

After more than a week of going back and forth on when and where to get married, we have decided to get married on December 29, 2009 in Henderson, Nevada.

We did some research on hotels. Prices are very reasonable at this time, many hotels are starting under $50 per night for 4 and 3 star hotels. Here is the link to them on Orbitz.com: Orbits Hotel Rates

Southwest and Frontier also have very reasonable prices on flights if you are flying out. Here are the links to Frontier and Southwest:

Engagement Plans!

After a very rough and unsuccessful surgery on Tuesday, we have decided that life is just too darn short to not get to where you want to be and be happy! So we're getting married in December the weekend after Christmas. We are planning a small wedding in Las Vegas, Nevada! More to come!



We are also in the process of putting together a list of websites and getting group rates for hotels and rental cars for those attending our wedding.

Please feel free to contact Tim or I as well as our parents for more information.

The Story of Tim and Tess

We met in May of 2008, the night of Joey's high school graduation at a little event called Ring Dance. This is a traditional dance that is held at the Air Force Academy every year for the Juniors who receive their class rings. The event is followed by a weekend of fun and games in the mountains. We had different dates to the event, but managed to stay in contact after the weekend.

After getting a chance to see each other again, we were separated by distance when I traveled to Corpus Christi for an internship with Toyota and Tim spent time at Eglin AFB in Florida during summer terms. We were eager to see each other again so we planned to spend 4th of July in San Antonio. We spent 4th of July at Laughlin Air Force base watching fireworks and going to Schlitterbaun, a water park in the area. Our first official date was on July 5th, 2008. It was intended to be a very romantic dinner on River Walk, on our way to dinner, just as Tim reached for my hand I fell down the stairs of the River Walk. Immediately followed by embarrassing horror, the women in front of turned around promptly screaming, "OH MY GOSH SHE FELL DOWN THE STAIRS."

Needless to say, Tim was a keeper after that.
