Big Day in Wedding Plans....

Brent and I spent the night in San Diego. I had an account to see and it was way too long since I had seen my mom....so why not combine the two. We had a great dinner last night, some wine, and lots of talks about wedding plans. We decided to get up in the morning and see a jeweler she knew in San Diego. Brent and I hadn't put much thought into our wedding bands, so we figured why not check them out.

After spending a lot of time trying to figure out what we truly wanted, we have our rings on order!! Once we see them in person (about 2-3 weeks) I will give you more information about them. I just want to make sure we like them before I go announcing anything. Another step down!

We haven't had time to finalize the tent just yet. We are working with one of our friends here and he's been super busy. As soon as we can all find the time to meet, we will get that done.

Long Beach happenings

So a few things have been going on. The first I am very proud of! Brent installed, with the help of my dad's direction, a bathroom exhaust fan. Here are a few photos to explain the hard work. Here is the before shot...


Brent had to crawl up into a very small and HOT area to drill a hole in the side of the house....


The view from the bathroom up....


After a little wiring, we are up and running!


So the exhaust fan works and now our bathroom isn't a steam room! Big congrats to Brent for taking this on and a big thanks to my Dad for his patience :)

The other new thing in our life is this....

This purchase wasn't by choice. Yes we wanted a bigger car, but our Sentra needed a lot of work - so we had to make a decision. Thanks to the help of our buddy Tim Wong, we were well taken care of.

This weekend we booked all our flights for the wedding and honeymoon. It's getting closer!!

That's all for now :)

Plans are coming together....

We landed in Boston at 10pm Friday, September 3rd…..after putting 684 miles (yes, almost 700 MILES) on our rental car, we return it Wednesday the 8th. Let me just say that the last 12 hours the car was parked in a parking garage. Saying it was a whirlwind trip just about sums it up. I feel like every time we go back east we just run around. It’s really inevitable, because we don’t have a home base.

Here are the major things we accomplished:
- My final dress fitting until the big day, it’s perfect and I can’t wait
- Picked the food for the wedding
- Visited the wedding site and took measurements for the tent location
o We have three potential locations, so need some time to work that out
- Saw everyone in our wedding party, that lives in Boston

It was a very successful trip! We even managed to spend some quality time with our Grandmothers (very important).

More to come…..
