(Happy) Sigh...
Went to Jasper today. Met with our hotel contact to discuss all of our plans. Went to a bakery and got an amazing quote for a cake. Got to meet our photographer in person, and enjoyed discussing all kinds of wedding stuff with her. Finally met the DJ, and he had a lot of good suggestions and was positive, too.
We had a great day. Our first appointment was at 9 a.m., so we were up pretty early to make sure we got there on time. By the time we left 7 hours later, I was exhausted.* After having planned extra time for each of the appointments to make sure we wouldn't be rushed, we ended up with a bit of spare time in between the first and second appointment. SO, we went to the bakery and inquired about cakes. We looked through a portfolio, discussed cakes and options and how it will all work with her (no appointment necessary) and we now have a cake ordered. :)
We still had some extra time, so we went to the cafe where we were meeting the photographer and had a quick lite lunch (I had chicken soup, Chris had a muffin) before she arrived. She is fantastic, friendly, easygoing, and will totally mesh with my plan of simple, casual and fun. She had a lot of great suggestions, and we've now gotten everything photography-related checked off my list of to-do's. Except for making a list of 'Must-have' photographs (which can wait).
Our meeting with the DJ went similarily fantastic, after Chris and I figured out where we were supposed to be. (We arranged to meet in the lobby of one of the hotels, and we went to the wrong one... hee hee hee - totally my fault.) It was a 2 minute drive to the hotel we were supposed to meet at. Meh. Sh!t happens.
So, all in all, we just have a few things left on the MUST DO BY THE END OF THE MONTH list.
Yay!
My favorite part of the whole day? Chris was there with me. He now knows what everything looks like. How everything will happen. Where everything will happen. Now he will have more of a feel for what I am babbling on about when I talk about the wedding. We had a great day, and I am soooooo glad. We got home, and started some work on other wedding stuff.
*I was mostly exhausted because I went to the doctor yesterday after suffering 2.5 days with swollen glands, swollen tongue, sore throat/jaw/ears. I was finally able to make it to the doctor (no appointments available, had to do the walk-in thing) and then waited two hours to get in to see the doc. Thankfully, the doc on walk-in duty was my own doctor. I'm now on antibiotics & Advil COld & sinus to clear up all of the swelling, pain and whatever else. (Sinusitus, btw.)
I don't know if it is the antibiotics, the advil or a combination of the two, but about 40 minutes after I take them, I feel like I need a nap. Something in there is draining all of my energy. Comes back after about 2 hours.
Left to do... order stationary stuff we picked out. Talk to florist. Get together bridemaid dress info and order that. Figure out groomsmen stuff. Relax.
Not too bad. :)

I read the whole thing tonite, and showed most of the pix to Chris as I went through them.
It sure would be an interesting life...

Happy New Year
I'm sure I'm not the first to say it to you, but hey, I mean it.
I really do hope that 2008 is the best year for everyone! I know it will be for my cousins, one of which will be getting married near the end of the year, and the other who will be welcoming their first child in August! I am so excited for both.
This post is going to be a quick update, with absolutely no structure or flow... I'm just babbling, basically.
I am starting to realize that I am going to be 25 in 2008. Yeah, I know, to most people who read this blog, that age passed by awhile ago (2 or 3 years, hey?).
Chris is 25 as of September, and I feel bad for dismissing his solemn "I'm going to be 25 this year" comments, now that I am starting to have them...
Oh, well. I will get over it. Hell, until Chris told me he had taken personal leave days for the wedding, and that he'd also be taking my birthday off, I'd completely forgotten that my birthday was 3 days after the wedding. Heh.
I'm not sure if we are planning to do anything special right after the wedding 'honeymoon' wise. I have a feeling that we will be too tired, too broke, to do anything.
:)
I am getting more excited about the wedding, after spending this morning organising my binders again, and sending out a really REALLY long - took almost 2 1/2 hours to write it - email to my Bridesmaids...
I figured they needed to know what was going on...
I have so many different pieces of information swirling around in my head right now, I can't even finish this!
Besides, I have to email about 6 different people to try to coordinate meetings with them for the 12th and the 16th...
:) Going to stop to make some dinner. I need to eat, too, I guess.
