And Now, For a Much Postponed Update!

Hey guys! I bet you thought I forgot about you! Or was busy! Or...something. Yeah, mostly I've been being lazy since graduating. It's been a slow time with the wedding, so there's not a lot to post about, and I'm hoping some pictures from our engagement party will be posted.

Speaking of the engagement party! On June 12th, my wonderful mother and her wonderful husband hosted an engagement party for Mike and I at their home. We had a fun mix of people, including college friends, work friends, and SCA friends. My dad and his wife, Mike's parents, my sister, and one of my cousins rounded out the family side of the attendees. We had some awesome food, including mom's husband's chili (with steak and deliciousness!), gluten-free brownies, cake, and an amazing spread of finger foods. Everyone seemed to get along really well, every time I turned around it seemed like everyone was chatting with someone different. We also got some lovely (and unexpected!) gifts, though just seeing and spending time with everyone would have been more than enough.

In other wedding news, we have found our photographer. We met with Derek Morrisey from Impressions Photography (www.pickimpressions.com) at our house last week, and we really liked him and his work, and he's very affordable. It is possible, however, that he will be mistaken for my father, especially when taking pictures!

Flowers are still being figured out. The florist I went to had a price that was more than twice what we want to spend, so we have some research and thinking to do on that front.

And on an only slightly wedding related note, Mike and I went to visit our best man, matron of honor, and their one year old son this weekend. The day we got there, they found out that they are pregnant for the second time! I'm so thrilled for them, and luckily we picked a dress that will still look fabulous with a pregnant belly.

That's all for now with the wedding updates, hopefully I'll have more to post soon!
