Hi everyone! :-) Sorry for the lagging in updating....but we have BIG things going on and I will update you all as soon as we can!! :-)As for now, things are going good, we have gotten through the filming of David's new movie "Not Another Not Another Movie" all in one piece. We had to get over a lot of bumps in the process, but I think he did great dealing with all of it and he was able to get some big names attached to the film, including Chevy Chase and Burt Reynolds and Ellen Dow ( the little old lady from the Wedding Singer and Wedding Crashers). :-) So keep us in your prayers that this movie does good.
We've made it through Halloween and we're getting ready for a very busy but fun filled holiday season.
For now that's what we've got going on....I'll be back soon to update you guys on all of the exciting and big things going on in our lives.
For now I leave you with some past due wedding news. :-)
DECEMBER 12, 2007
December 12, 2007....what would happen that night would change my life for the rest of our lives! :-) It was a cold Wednesday night in the middle of the holiday frenzy and I was about to experience the best night of my life...up to that point in my life. :-) This was the night that David proposed to me......awww! Most of you guys have heard the story of it, either from our wedding website: http://www.davidandandrea.us/, or at our actual wedding. :-) It was such an amazing night with so many emotions and it was absolutely perfect. :-)
For those of you that don't know the story here it is:
This is a crazy story! Let me just say, that I am not one to be shocked too easily! I like to find EVERYTHING out. And I'm always one step ahead of everyone! It's very hard to surprise me, because I usually ask so many questions that somehow it comes out. David is the only person that has ever been able to shock me with things! Since we've been together, he has sprung so many surprises on me that I never imagined. When Wednesday December 12, 2007 came around, it was just another normal day for me. My Christmas shopping was in full swing and I had luckily had the weekend before to myself to spend with my mom getting most of our Christmas shopping done. (David was in Cancun doing pick-up shots for the movie; which I now know was also when he talked to his dad about proposing) This year, I inherited the Murphy family, so I was shopping for both the Rosso family and the Murphy family, so I had to be extremely organized! That day I had told David that I wanted to get to the mall before it closed to finish up the Christmas shopping.
From early in the morning, David was acting more scatter-brained than usual! In the middle of the day, David called and told me that Jeff & Gina wanted to take the kids to go look at Christmas lights on CandyCane Lane with us. Of course I said Yes! Not only because I love spending time with them and the kids, but because I'm a kid at heart and absolutely LOVE looking at Christmas lights! They would be at the house at 6:30pm so we could get back early. When I got home, David was more hyper than usual, but I didn't think anything of it because I was so busy thinking about Xmas and everything else. The really wierd stuff started happening when I got home! David started changing and putting on a really nice shirt. Now this is not at all like David. David is the epitamy of wanting to be absolutely comfortable at ALL times if possible! So when he started doing this, I was a little confused since we were just going to be looking at lights from the car. (I now know that this was because he knew we would be taking a lot of pictures!) Then he started trying on jackets! Now for those of you who know David, he DOES NOT wear jackets unless we are in snow condition! But he started trying on a bunch of jackets! I now know that he was doing this to find the perfect pocket for the ring, but at that moment I thought he was the wierdest person in the world! But believe it or not, I still had ABSOLUTELY no clue!!!
Jeff and Gina were right on time at 6:30, we were ready to leave and David says that he can't find his wallet! We looked everywhere and then just decided to leave since they were waiting downstairs for us. Of course, I started lecturing him on how could he lose his wallet?! (I now know it's because he had proposing on his mind!) We got in the car with them and headed out to CandyCane lane. We started driving the streets, deeply entertained by little Ethan's hilarious and cute comments, and we see this house on one corner that was so beautifully lit up with a million lights. Jeff says that we should get out there. Usually, we don't really get out of the car and walk up to houses and look at lights, but just stay in the car and look. Well, when we parked and started getting out, I STILL had no clue what was going on. Jeff grabbed the Camcorder and Gina grabbed the camera and we got the kids and headed towards the house.
Now at this point all I thought to myself was,"I guess you videotape alot when you have kids!" Still had no clue! We took some pictures and then David pulled me aside. At this point, I was so cold, the only thought in my head was that I hoped that we were going to blast the heater in the car. But David had other intentions. He pulled my hand and got this serious look on his face. He said, "I wanted to get you a ring for Xmas but I won't be able to afford it then...because I got you one now." I didn't believe him and got mad for him joking about that. And then he pulled the ring out and I stopped breathing for 60 seconds. All I could say after that was "Are you serious? Oh my gosh!" I spent a good 10 minutes in complete shock, with Jeff catching it all on tape, Gina taking pictures while laughing and crying and Ethan kept hugging us.
We spent the rest of the night telling everyone about it and driving all over the valley to find all of the members of our family and consistently calling ourselves "fiance"! It was the beginning of the new Murphy family! :-)
Shortly after that night we started planning the wedding of our dreams. :-) Calls were made and appointments were attended. We booked some of our vendors, but we also booked one of our favorite vendors shortly after that night. We booked our photographers: eight20photography. They are amazing. They are a newlywed couple with such a fun and unique take on photography and had exactly what we were looking for.
In January 2008, eight20photography shot our engagement pictures. We fell more in love with them then we were before and couldn't wait for them to shoot our wedding. Here are some of the great shots they got of us that day:
This one down here was the one featured on our custom made stamps on our Save The Dates. :-) Which were a big hit! :-)
And this one down here was the one featured on our actual Save The Date. :-)
That's all I got for you guys now! :-) Keep checking back for new updates in our crazy but chaotically beautiful life!
Love,
Me
