My Simple Life?

We met with the cake baker, Angelina, today. It was great. I am not sure what part I liked the best. Maybe it was the fact that the woman we met with is awesome. She understood us. She worked with us, because neither of us had any clue what we wanted going into the meeting and we both left feeling like we ordered the perfect cake. Or maybe the best part was that the cake was delicious. I don't even really like cake, but it was yummy (the forkful of each I tried). And, although the place comes highly recommended and everyone we know volunteered to come with us to the tasting, the price was very reasonable. I also liked that on our anniversary we get an anniversary cake. Something about eating cake that has been frozen for a year does not appeal to me. 

 No, no..it is none of that. 

 My favorite part was definitely seeing the look in Dave’s eyes. He must have been an adorable four year old, because that is what he reminded me of. Just sitting there with a sparkle in his eye and cake in his mouth. If I could read his mind (a very useful skill that I would someday like to achieve) it would have said: “Hey, wait..I just have to say I am getting married and you give me free cake, who knew!” Or maybe more simply it would have just said “I love cake”.

 

So in the last post I posted our wedding website IP address. I just realized that it disclosed both of our last names. Oops. I may be a little paranoid, but I don't want that posted on the web. Soooo...to make a long story short, I have deleted the address and anyone who is interested can go to www.theknot.com and type in one of our names in the couple website search.

Things are in full swing. We emailed a DJ and a wedding cake baker. We are looking into flowers. Most importantly we have a wedding website!!!

Things are moving. Now I have to think about a dress. I am starting to get very excited.

Save the Date! 

Saturday March 1, 2008

Finally! We have chosen a location and a date for our wedding! Very exciting. I was a long process, one I thought would never end. But Saturday it all came together. It is not perfect, but it is pretty close. The alcohol policy is pretty strict (beer, wine and champagne provided by us and only allowed at the reception site during certain hours) and the rooms don't have TV (bring your portable DVD players/computers) , but otherwise we are very happy. There is a lot to do and not much time...I am so excited.

So the childcare center opened. Today was day 4. Today was day 1 of leaving at 6:00pm as scheduled. Things are looking up. No more fourteen hour days. Just 8. I am excited. Although part of the fun of working on getting the center ready was hanging out with the incredible people who work there. Unfortunately, now we are all so busy with our classrooms that we never get to see each other. It is sad. Kids ruin everything.

We have a meeting with Silver Bay on Saturday. I will keep you posted. We are attending a reception on Saturday. The couple eloped (smart cookies) and are hosting a reception in VT. It is casual, I am excited to steal ideas from them. I am also excited to see friends I haven't seen in awhile and relax, maybe even sleep in, who knows.

Work is crazy. I have worked 33 hours in 3 days and will have another long day tomorrow. It will be worth it. It already kind of is. I love what I do and who I work with.

Anyway I am exhausted, but we are considering changing our wedding date to February 29, 2008. We actually met on leap day four years ago. That is a little deceiveing. We did meet on that day, but our meeting wasn't magical or anything. We literally met. But regardless...why not?

I promise I will blog more later. A lot has happened, we are inches from booking a site. Our parents met for the first time. We had a great lunch with both parental units. Things are starting to happen, I am just so busy at work right now that it is hard to sit down and write about it. The daycare center opens on Monday and then things might chill...
