A little news

Hurrah, my wedding ring came in, and it looks beautiful! I love it. It is titanium with a platinum inlay, and it has diamonds in it too. I mean really, what more could a girl ask for?

Everett (the photographer) called and wants us to call him back. The only problem is, since he has called, we haven't really been home. First we went to the Cure concert. They were amazing, and even gave three encores. Plus there was a lightning storm to the east of us, so that was cool to watch too. Then on Thursday, we went to see Will Roger's Follies at BDT. I "have" to go see all the shows for my job. Life sure is rough. The rope tricks were amazing, and the show was pretty good overall. Then B and I were off to Durango for the weekend for some bike racing (Brian, not me).

Let me just stop there for a moment. Can I just say that on the first official weekend of summer, we drove through snow. SNOW!! Granted we were heading to Durango, so we were up in the high mountains...but really, snow?!

Fianlly, I am blogging really quickly, and then I am off to repack. I am heading off to New Mexico with Mom and Nancy. Mom has finished her 4 years of schooling, and she is being ordained. It is all very exciting! So, I will actually be back next weekend. Maybe I can give him a call then!

That is the big wedding news for this week.
We are at 5 weeks to go!!

Details, details

Talk about a lot of fun!! Brian and I got to head back up to Lionscrest last Wednesday and settle some of the details. First of all, I was reminded of how beautiful the venue is. Plus, it was a pretty nice day, the first one in awhile, so that helped.

We were able to pick the table linens, and what color linens go where. Also, we decided that Margaret is going to be in charge of the informant. If people are running late, and call Lionscrest, the staff will let her know. Steve is going to be in charge of settling with the liquor store folks. If there are any unopened bottles, then we get some of our money back, and they will be letting him know the deal with the open bottles that we get to keep. Sorry folks, we don't get to pick them up until Saturday. And finally, Nancy is going to be in charge of getting any gifts back to our house. There were some other small details, but I won't bore them with you all. Let's just say, that I hadn't even thought about some of those things, and had to make a decision johnny-on-th-spot.

It was an especially good day because Brian's ring came in. It makes him look super hot. He wanted to keep wearing it, after trying it on, but I wouldn't let him. It is a good thing too, because he tried it on, again, a little later, and it almost got stuck on his finger. So, he is not allowed to put it on anymore, until the big day.

We also have all the details of the cake worked out. And if my imagination proves correct, it is going to be lovely. Most important, however, is it should taste FABULOUS! The Colorado Rose Cake Company makes some tasty stuff.

So, it got me all revved up for the wedding. I am so excited I am about to pop. Less than 7 weeks to go folks!!

Update?

Well, hmmm, what can I tell you.
I have been working my little bum off and haven't had a single moment to do anything for the wedding. Literally!
The most I have done... this past week, I sent an email to the cake folks letting them know the flavors that we wanted and the design that we like. The good news is that I talked Brian into doing a pecan cake (which tastes better than it sounds) for our anniversary cake, instead of red velvet. I am just not much of a red velvet cake kind of person, I guess.
And that is it.
No really, that is all that I have done for the past few months!
However, it was just my birthday, and that was WONDERFUL!
I got lots of call from friends and family, and got to have a lovely dinner with Brian. It was so much fun! Also, he got me tickets to the Rockies game and a Helton jersey. Hurrah!! That is so cool! Also, he got me a book light, and I have been wanting one of those forever. So, I am a very happy girl.
So, once my current show closes, I will be able to actually do something for the wedding, and I will let you know about it here.
