Holiday Time...

Hey everyone!

So, it's holiday time (and exactly 5 months before the BIG DAY), and we're excited to be spending our first Christmas as an engaged couple together in Aurora. We got about 4 inches of snow over this past weekend (probably a lot less than some of you judging from seeing highlights of the Browns game yesterday) so it made driving downtown yesterday to see Wicked a little interesting. If you are at all a musical theater fan, we both would HIGHLY recommend you see this play. It was great.

Wedding-wise, we have almost everything big taken care of, and are tasting some cakes this weekend to get that done. The limo will be booked very soon, and the other big things we have left are registering and figuring out where we're going to get the tuxes. Other than that, everything is moving along and we are on task and on time with everything.

Over the holidays, we will be traveling some - to Anna's parents' this Saturday until Christmas day, and then I will be heading to my parents' in Virginia from the 26th - 30th to see them a little bit. Unfortunately, Anna has to work, or she'd be coming along.

Anyway, have a very happy holiday season, and we will be positing again in early '08.

Update: Wedding Rings Purchased

Well, another one of the big remaining items (and bigger expenses) for the wedding has been taken care of. Today we purchased the wedding rings, which we are excited about! We'll post photos once they have been sized and we have them in hand.

We look forward to sharing more news as we move forward, including the cake tasting that will be happening soon!

PS- We'll also be registering soon, so we'll be sure to share that with everyone as well :)

PPS - Anna just said as I was proofreading this that "this post includes everything Anna loves - diamonds, chocolate and shopping... The wedding planning is just now getting exciting!" Nice...

Update: Invitations Have Arrived!

The recently-ordered invitations have arrived. They look great and it's another thing to take off the checklist! We also have reserved the limousine, which is a positive as well.

Next on the To Do list:

1. Register for gifts
2. Finalize blocks of rooms for our guests
3. Figure out where we're ordering the tuxedos

We'll update everyone on this as we move forward!

To leave you, I thought I'd include a photo of the apartment with the Christmas decorations up!
