Since we got our engagement photos back yesterday, I thought that today would be a good day to start the new "B and b" blog. I will continue posting here at "brookeb" for things related to me, but will be putting all of the Brian and brooke related posts on the "B and b" blog. Go check out the first few of our engagment shots!!! :)

the shirts we wore for engagement photo session: round 1. we will be doing round 2 in the spring. right now, we are anxiously awaiting the round 1 photos!!! :)
