So today marks the first money put down towards the wedding (apart from my fabulous engagement ring that is).
The Bear was feeling particularly tired after a wonderful breakfast of waffles (thanks to my Christmas gifted waffle maker) and lay down to hibernate. Now I don't know if you know this about bears- but they are particularly difficult to awaken- especially when they are snoozing with the Baby. After being a human alarm clock for about 30 minutes- the Bear finally made an appearance. But thanks to his fabulous navigation skills- we still arrived early for our appointment at the venue! Yay Bear!
Basically- the venue is awesome!! It exceeds my expectations of what the inside looks like. We even get a fireplace! AND a fire pit outside!
And can you say premium open bar?
Plus we left with a voucher for a tasting and a jar of the chef's pasta sauce. I can't wait to taste the food!!

Changing the date...
So in follow up to the last post, I figured changing the date would be relatively easy... and to kill the suspense, it actually was.
After some last minute double and triple checking that the new date wasn't some sort of special event, the date was changed. And goodness knows, I'm not changing it again. I'm not going to be that bride.
What's the downside you ask? Well, I have what I like to call a nervous stomach. That means that every time there's something that I'm nervous about I continuously feel queasy. Like I'm going to toss my cookies queasy. So now imagine feeling that way from Friday night until Monday morning when all the dates were changed.
But the good news is that the date is officially changed, no one has to share, and everyone's happy! (and that's the biggest part)

And so it begins...
I haven't blogged here in a while- lets be honest, I haven't really even ever blogged here. But I thought that I would start this back up since I'm quickly realizing that I need another place to talk about all of this wedding madness.
That's right folks. I'm engaged! I really am excited, I swear but it's dulled down a bit since this first little speed bump.
You see, in all of my "pre-wedding"-ness, I had no idea where to start. Yes, no idea at all. You see, this is my first time ever planning a wedding (not shocking right?) and unlike all other kinds of parties, I have no idea... well, except one- the date. I know we need a date.
After a little running around to make sure paperwork is where it should be, I finally decide on a date that is mutually available between church and venue. 12-1-12. What an awesome date- right? I thought so. So there it was, wide open, so I booked it.
That is until about 8pm at night when someone casually mentioned that 12-1 happens to be the very same date as a soon-to-be niece's 16th birthday. Oh. My. Gosh.
Now let's just think back to when we were all turning 16. Some of us wouldn't have cared to share the date if it meant going to a wedding. But who am I to ask that of a teenager? I can't steal her thunder and she shouldn't have to share mine.
So road bump #1 it is... now back to calling the venue and church to change the date. Fingers crossed that my second choice is available still (should be) and I know this time that there are no conflicts.

Ways of the world...
Answer me this...
Why is it when I am outside pushing a mower, does the neighbor to my left with a rider mower held together with bungee cords come over to help while the neighbor to my right with a commercial mower sits on the mower at the base of my driveway talking on his cellphone?
Why?

Well Duh...
You know those medicine commercials that are just ridiculous? Well, this isn't about the medication itself per say or about the strangeness of the commercial... This is about new phrasing of the legal talk at the end of the commercial.
Today I actually heard a commercial state "If you are allergic to this medication, don't take it."
All I have to say is "Duh." How stupid are people?
