Another 3 weeks have gone by since the last post and I just realized we're half way between the engagement and the wedding. Craziness. Luckily, I think we're in a good spot so far as planning goes, so hopefully we can coast on in for the big days in February and March. Short list of what's checked off the list so far: venues, caterer, photography, honeymoon plans, dresses (for me- Steve can't find one that looks good with his hips), and selecting invites and favors (still need to be ordered). Gracious friends and family have started working on bachelor/bachlorette party plans and showers, so the new year should be full of festivities!
Speaking of festivities, while Steve's parents enjoyed "LOVE" (the Beetles show) in Las Vegas, Steve and I spent a fun Thanksgiving with my parents and Dalton family. DJ went to Germany to surprise Alanta for the holiday, so all the brothers were again MIA. Rumor has it that Jimmy made a mean dinner in Germany and should start cooking for the whole family when his tour is over. I have work holiday parties at a rate of 1 per week between now and Christmas and we'll celebrate the holidays with the CN gang as well. Our time off will be divided into pre-Christmas with my family (all jetting off to spend Christmas day with Carlie and Caleb) and Christmas Eve on with Steve's in Ohio.
In other news, Steve's staying busy working on his house and is threatening to get a bigger storage unit to hold all of his "stuff". I call it "stuff" because Steve made me stop referring to it as "his crap". =) Steve's also getting ready to start working on fixing the Mercedes and Volvo up to sell- we now measure selling price in wedding units (i.e., "I think I can sell it for the photographer and 5 dinners." or "The Mercedes is worth about 2 tickets to Tahiti.") Most of the shorts he's been working on for the past year at work have wrapped up, so be on the lookout for those online and on TV and on your phone and anywhere else CN decides to put them!
As for me, most of my life is spent working on wedding stuff, traveling, or rock climbing. My schedule through the end of the year: I'm up in Richmond/DC this week, home/Boston next week, home the following week, Richmond/DC the next week, and then the Christmas travels begin to Dalton, Danville (KY), Cincinnati, and Columbus (OH).
I think that's it from Stikki! I'm sure Steve will correct or add on anything I've forgotten. Here's hoping your holiday season is merry and your gifts all purchased on sale! ;-) Nikki
