One more registry

We've decided to go ahead and register at Target. We really didn't want to add another location but we think that Target has a few things to offer that the other stops don't have. Plus, who doesn't love a quick visit to Target!

So far all of the registry has been done online. But hopefully we can make a trip to the store and add a few more things sometime soon! It will be updated regularly!

This won't be included in the invitations (which are almost complete and ready to be mailed at the 8 weeks out.) but we wanted to share it here!

Two years!

Two years ago today was the day my students and I started working on the park in Gilman, IWHS put on the musical Oklahoma, and I (out of courtesy) invited a guy to come in to my apartment to hang out for ahwile (when all I really wanted him to do was say no thanks and I could go in and go to sleep). It's only been 2 years, but it seems like we've known each other forever!

The last few weeks have kept up pretty busy. We've been working on wedding things here and there. Work has been keeping us busy and we've been trying to spend some time with family during the Easter season.

A couple of weeks ago we had a wedding party party. We were short a bridesmaid and groomsman, but due to illness and the weather in Ohio, we'll forgive them this time. The rest of the wedding party got the chance to meet each other and hang out before the wedding. And, it was our first gathering in the house where weather (in Illinois) wasn't a problem.

The invitations came in last week. We assembled some of them Sunday when we were at my parent's house. We've got to get them stamped, addressed and sealed so they can get in the mail in about a month.

I tried my dress on a couple of weeks ago and it fit like a glove! I may not have to have any alterations except for a little bit on the lenght. I'm not use to having to shorten my clothes!

Our counseling sessions have been going well. We have one more left before Pastor Jan decides if she is going to marry us or not. :)

Saturday we ordered the decorations for the reception and I've been working on the program. I'm sure there are other things I should be doing, but I'm not sure what they are!
