picked up our invites today! Someone may have to hide them or they might go out in the mail reeeeally early!

I have decided that I am sick of seeing "vintage" weddings and photos all over the internet! I'm sure it was cool and nice for a while, but now it's waaaaay overdone. We will not be having any vintage images, unless they are antique-y.

Birthday Day!

Today, I woke up to a delicious White Rose donut- my fave! Then had an awesome day in Cooperstown with Matty- driving in the Miata! Then home for a nap/Say Yes to the Dress marathon (one was me, one was Matt). And THEN off to dinner with Kylie and Art. It was a good day overall! Tomorrow we're going to walk around and shop in Little Falls. I have also decided that after 30 years of nail biting, I really don't like having long nails. Urgh.


BTW- We are watching Ghost Adventures and we've decided that guy is a total jackass.

Tasting!

We went to our wedding tasting this evening. We had a great time. It was hard to eat a lot despite tons of choices because they had four chicken, two beef, one pork, two fish, and one turkey. Oh, and ONE vegetarian dish. Good thing I eat fish or it would have been no fun at all! Oh, except the cake. We got to try six kinds of cake. Six. Mm..... it was good, if a bit too sweet. So the invites are ready to get printed and the mailed and then returned etc etc. :)

today i felt like this:

asleep! then, not asleep, but annoyed to be awake.

apple/peach crisp!

sleepy.

clean-y.

yarn. YARN. yarn. yarn. yarn.

harry potter!

and

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and now it's time for bed.

Today!

So Heather, Kelly, and I went to Brides to Be to get my dress fitted. Because of my football player arms, I have to have the sleeves let waaay out and then a corset back put in. If only I could have lost 20 pounds over the last year. Ah, well! that's what seamstresses are for. so they can stress about seams, not me ;) I have to go back in a month to try it again for the length, etc.

Also went for an awesome trail ride today, then had Chinese with H, K, Harry, and Matt. AND H and K got a leeeeetle tipsy and we had a good time laughing about stupid things- always fun!

This Week

I have a wedding dress fitting coming up and I am really excited about that :)

And the escort cards have come to life!

A Challenge:

I intend to walk 100 miles before my wedding! If I walk 26 miles before the end of September, I will be rewarded with a comfy new pair of riding pants. This may seem like nothing to you marathon-ers, but since I never do anything but ride once a week, this is a big thing for me. AND I'm kind of excited about it, which is an even bigger thing! I started off with 1.7 miles today. Then Matt had to come get me because it was gross, rainy, and my foot hurt. But I did not know I had gone so far, so good for me!

I needed some happy thoughts after kicked-in-the-face kind of day, so: HONEYMOON! Yes, I planned it, and no, they don't take reservations this far in advance. :) We will not go in January, but in May. That will be the perfect season in Prince Edward Island! I am so excited I would leave tomorrow and stay there until then (if it didn't mean missing the wedding)

This is the itinerary:

May 22:
Drive to Blair House Inn in St. Stephen, NB

May 23:
Drive up the Bay of Fundy, hike, etc.
Stay in Summerside, PEI Silver Fox Inn

May 24-27:
Go to Cavendish, PEI Kindred Spirits (Mom and I stayed here during our 2005 trip and it was sooo lovely!)

May 27-30
Hermanville, PEI: Johnson Shore Inn (check this place out!!)


May 30
Moncton, NB


May 31
Bar Harbor, ME- Cromwell Harbor (Mom and Dad went to a very rainy Bar Harbor for their honeymoon in 1974)

I must say I am really looking forward to a week in PEI. It is so incredibly relaxing and rural and there aren't any people there. I loooove a nice, silent, country place. Why am I in CT? Just waitin' for my farm, that's all!
