Been awhile

Not sure why its been so long since I've blogged. I had gotten in the habit of blogging on Saturdays when work was slow, and i dropped that shift, so maybe that's to blame. In any case, not much has been going on, but i'll mention a few exciting tid bits.

A new apartment has been located and secured, as of yesterday. We'll be moving to the extreme North-East part of the city, known as Castleton. Broad Ripple, where I live now, is the artsy, hippy, bar-filled part of the city, and I will miss it A LOT. Castleton is basically one big strip mall with houses scattered in the areas between. Oh well! We found a very cute place, and its an excellent deal.

Wedding planning is coming along well. Invites go out in a couple weeks, so soon all of my spare time will be spent addressing envelopes. And in two weeks I'm going to Goshen for my "vacation" if travelling to Goshen can be called that. Basically, i'll be vegging on Kendra's couch or laying in the sun for a week, and taking care of wedding tid bits for a few hours a day.

I honestly don't know how people planned weddings before the internet. I order practically everything online -- Google Product Search is an amazing source for finding things for cheap -- keep in contact with everyone who is involved via email, and literally spend hours at work researching things like centerpieces and wedding favors on google images. One annoying thing with the internet is finding blogs of other brides-to-be, and their "struggle" to plan their wedding with their "tight budgets." Sorry ladies, a $15,000 budget is NOT tight. And it makes me want to smack someone. Maybe I'm just jealous? But anyway, our budget is tight for real, but it forces us to be creative and crafty, which I enjoy (well, most of the time anyway). It also turns out that we have an awful lot of talented friends and family which is helping us save a tremendous amount of money. I think everything but the food is being done by people we know.

That's all for now.... A real blog coming soon?
