HITCHED!!!

Well, we did it! Finally took those eternal vows. We couldn't be happier :)

Thanks so much to everyone that was able to attend. Your presence meant everything to us. For the honeymoon, we sort of took 2 vacations... First, Family cruise, 7-days, Mexican Riviera. What an amazing time we had with everyone. Quick shout out: Mom, Dad, Jared, Mel, Meg, Kayleigh, Jace, Sonya, Joel, Raechel, Lily, Jenai, Jaxon, Ethan, Alex, Gary, Jessica, Nic, Coop, Peggie, Dave, Kate, & Sara. We had a GREAT time, and hope everyone else did as well! Hope to be able to do it again sometime! Second, we (Chris and I) flew to Kauai for 8 days! The transition from the cruise to Kauai was rough; I was having terrible stomach pain (hmm. hmm... the lady kind), stupid head cold, headache/bodyaches, SUNBURN to the point of having my left ankle swell and blister (but oddly enough, no peeling)! Then, once we arrived in Kauai, we had to do our laundry at some booty laundry mat. So, needless to say, I wasn't in the greatest of spirits. But it did get better! We ended up having an amazing trip, seeing some beautiful sights, and eating some delicious food (thanks to my Aunt Kris and Chuck)! Oh, and did I mention, we both got hour long massages, outdoors under a gazebo... amazing!

Thanks again!!!

XOXO

When will the madness end?

I have never been so unbelievably busy in my life (or so it seems). If it's not one thing, it's another. And quite frankly, I am struggling to keep track of everything. Who had the crazy idea of getting married, on top of studying for a bar exam (which I don't know if I passed) and looking for a job (which I do not have)? Didn't think that through too well, now, did I? So. much. stress. Just gotta roll with it now, I guess...

So... update. Hmmm...

Oh yes. For those of you who have checked out our Target registry, we apologize. We registered online, and did not realize that mostly everything is available ONLY online. I suggest checking out the items that offer FREE SHIPPING; there are a few. Also, you can just ditch Target and check our Sears registry. All the items at Sears are available in the store. Or, just get nothing and bring your pretty little selves to the wedding!

It's almost down to the 2 week mark, and I definitely took on too many "projects." I lack the Martha Stewart skills, so not too sure what I was thinking. But Peggie (Chris's mom) and Kate (Chris's sister) have offered to help me. So, together, I think we can get it done!

So, there are two weeks to go, AND... WE HAVE NO ONE TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY!!! The judge for whom I work was to perform the ceremony, but he is very ill and is now unable to do so. I pray for his health and recovery. In the meantime, I am tapping some other resources, but if any of you are legally authorized to perform a wedding... we're taking volunteers! LOL. See, just more stress... it's a theme. Not to mention, the constant state of disarray in which our house exists (for those of you who really know Chris, this one bugs him the most). But seriously, it's a disaster. Wedding "stuff" everywhere. When that glorious day rolls around, Chris will be most excited about getting all the sh*t out of the house. hahahaha!

Well, I've rambled enough. Sort of felt like a therapy session. Thanks for listening. Hope this finds everyone well.

2 more weeks... can't wait!

XOXO

COMING SOON...

Hi all! So, I know it's been a while since I posted anything... and for that, I apologize. I plan to devote my focus on the wedding from here on out... ya gotta give me a break, I just finished taking the NV Bar Exam. But now, I'm all yours...

In the near future, I plan to introduce the "players" in our wedding; AKA- the wedding party and family. This introduction will include pics (I hope) of each person, plus a short bio and how we know this person. I know, I know, you can't wait, right?

Again, we look forward to seeing everyone at the wedding, and will miss those who are unable to attend. Thanks again for all your support! Chris and I are thankful for everyone in our lives.

*REMINDER*-- If you have not yet RSVP'd, please do so no later than August 7th! We have to get a final count for dinner... YUM!

Hotel Rooms...

Hi there! Hope this finds everyone well. Not sure how often this is viewed, but thought we would throw out a message and see what kind of answers we get back. We are looking to reserve a block of hotel rooms, currently at The Cal Neva Resort. Before doing so, we wanted to see how much interest there was for hotel rooms? I think the rate we were given is $149 a night (that's if you stay only one night, should be less if staying longer). So, if you check this... either post a comment or send me an email to let us know whether or not you are interested in a hotel room discount.

Thanks!

LODGING!

Hi, everyone! I will soon be posting more frequently, I promise. In this post, I wanted to quickly share a website with those of you who will be traveling some distance to attend our wedding (which there are several of you). This website may also be helpful to you locals who decide you don't want to drive back down the mountain after the reception. On this website, you can find lodging in the Incline Village area (where the reception will be) in the form of a house/condo rental. This definitely seems to be the best value for your money as far as lodging is concerned, especially if you can share the house/condo with multiple people (i.e. your family and/or friends), and share the costs. There are several very nice places available. The "nicer" hotels in the area (Hyatt) are very high priced, so this is a nice alternative... and you have more space and privacy. Just a thought. The website is:

www.vrbo.com (Vacation Rentals By Owner)

Once there, you click on NV, and then click on Incline Village. You will find homes/condos that sleep from 2 persons up to 20. Hope this helps. Happy hunting!

For those of you seeking more economical lodging, I will continue researching decent hotels in the area and post the info on this blog in the near future.

XOXO!

Hello!

We will use this blog to provide information regarding any updates on our upcoming wedding fiesta, so check back frequently! We look forward to seeing you ALL there!!!
