Hotel Accommodations

For those of you who have not reserved a room at the Harrison Plaza Suites and still intend to do so, be sure to refer to our wedding rate of $79. Even though they have cancelled the remaining rooms, they will still honor our group rate.

On another note, my mom, Alana, and I got together on Sunday and finished up some final details for the reception. We're in the home stretch now - just 9 days to the wedding and 11 to the party! It's raining here this week, so think positive, non-rainy thoughts for the 13th, so we can all enjoy the sunshine in the backyard!

Now, on yet a different note, some folks are arriving early on Friday and Saturday and are looking for some fun stuff to do. I'll be taking a little time out of my lunch break over the next few days to put together a map of the area and some fun stuff we like to do. Expect that post by the end of the week.

We getting her started early!

Slight panic!

We went to get our marriage license yesterday! I was quite excited about it on my drive home yesterday after work and was reading through it at a stop light when I read something that sent me into a panic. The part where the officient writes her name, title, etc. states something like this: "I, _________, a (pastor) residing in the city of ___, in the County of _______, in the State of Idaho...."

WHAT?! Our officient lives in Indiana. Yep, I flew into panic mode. Then irritated mode. Then I-must-research-to-be-sure-this-is-ok mode. The Recorders office was closed.

I called this morning and got it all straightened out: the officient just needs to CROSS OUT "Idaho" and write in the proper state. SERIOUSLY?!

Oh well, panic mode is gone....for now!

Bridal Shower

I had three stipulations when my sister, Alana, said she wanted to throw me a bridal shower:

1) It cannot be lame
2) No lingerie
3) No stupid games

She did pretty damn well. Who knew I needed to have so much Pampered Chef stuff?! Woot! I was going to wait to post this until after I got some photos, but I haven't received any and it's we're coming up on a week of me being showered with gifts.

Thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the sangria!

Post-Ceremony Transportation

We just got the post-ceremony transportation for Bride and Groom. Check out the photos below.

Sneak Peak

Josh picked up my wedding band today! Here's a sneak peak!

Also, I ordered Josh's ring today! Here's a sneak peak of that!

Vegas bound!

We found a killer deal on Southwest Vacations from Boise to Vegas for our birthdays again this year! We're staying at Planet Hollywood from 4/25/09 to 4/27/09 (sorry, Shauna and Chris....we really want to be at your wedding....we didn't even think about the fact that this was the date of your wedding until after we reserved the tickets. eek!).

Who wants to join us? Consider this our bachelor/bachelorette parties, if you will....

Seriously, is there any better way to spend your 30th and 31st birthdays? I think not! Bring it!
