The 4 month mark!

Wow, four months! Time sure is flying now!

We celebrated the year anniversary of our engagement on the 14th. I can't believe it has been a year, it truly feels like yesterday. I hope I never forget that feeling of being surprised, shocked, excited - everything!

We have our tasting at Martindale coming up next Wednesday, which is also my 30th birthday! I can't wait to taste the dishes, I bet we'll have a hard time choosing which ones to serve!

We had a nice Memorial Day, it was pretty low-key although we did get some wedding stuff done. We decided on an invitation design and I'll be ordering the materials this week. We also finalized the guest list (for about the tenth time). Is it final this time, Pat?

I hope you're all enjoying the nice spring weather. We've planted some tomatoes and pumpkins and they're doing great already! It's so exciting to watch them grow!

I spent all weekend working on wedding stuff...for other people! I came up with this idea for coasters (which you will also see at our wedding) and the business has taken off! I guess brides love the idea of having "Eat, Drink & be Married" coasters! I have to admit, they are pretty cute. So I produced over 800 coasters on Saturday and now I just need to get them shipped out. It's really fun though - and it gives me an excuse to be crafty!

This weekend we have our day long Engaged Encounter at the Catholic church. I am curious to see what this will be all about. I am optimistic that we might get something out of it. Time will tell.

We planted a "garden" this weekend. I use the term loosely. It's really two tomato plants in pots and some mini-pumpkins that I doubt will grow. I hope we get something since this is our first adventure into gardening!

On a personal note, my 30th birthday is coming up. I'm not sure how I feel about that!

May already?

Seriously, WHERE is the time going?

Well, I did find my dress and I love it. It should be here in August. We've now moved on to bridesmaid dresses which need to be ordered VERY soon! I know my Mom is also starting to think about her dress.

The only vendor I have to book still is our florist. I might try to get on that this weekend.

Oh, and Friday night we most likely found our rehearsal dinner location so that's good news as well! I love when things fall into place.

I think we'll be having our tasting soon at Martindale so we can set the menu. That will be a huge weight off my shoulders.

We have a wedding to attend in June in North Conway that I'm really looking forward to. Pat's friend Troy is marrying a girl I knew from high school. I'm sure it's going to be a great wedding and a ton of fun. We always have so much fun when we hang out with them.

I'm trying to think of what else to update...any questions about the wedding? Life? Anything?You can leave an anonymous comment, you don't have to register here.
