- update on Mark's car, nothing new... it's at the shop, has been since Thursday and (as far as I know), they haven't looked at it yet. Mark is fairing okay with rides from people. We'll figure out the game plan when we know the estimate to repair the problem.
- the wedding invitations were sent last week!! I'm getting a few back in the mail so am making corrections and resending. Also, RSVPs are trickling in on the wedding website, which is awesome!! I have to give my friend Rebekah props on the invites, they came out better than I hoped!!
- my bro dog JR is in town for a brief stay before heading to Billings to set up residence. We had a great visit on the way back from picking him up at the airport this morning at 2:30am. We're doing dinner with some family tonight and then going to see Die Hard and he's heading out tomorrow.
- I got my craigslist wedding dress on Sunday!! I discovered 2 things; 1 it fits and looks beautiful!! And 2 it had some stitching in the skirt that needed to be fixed. I didn't realize that. Was a little bummed, but no biggie, I'm meeting with someone tomorrow night who's supposed to be able to fix her right up!
- in traditional pre-wedding fashion I'm trying to perhaps drop a tiny bit of extra flab before the wedding... it's proving to be uncomfortable as hunger pains rule! For some reason my body seems to think it should be eating non-stop. The running doesn't help (the hunger part) and I'm a miserable failure at any kind of dieting so my plan is to be regular about my workouts and focus on portion control and perhaps pull back a little on the sweets. Although my workouts are only about 3 a week, including my long run. But hey, something is better than nothing!
- this past weekend Mark and I and Barb went to visit Mark's parents on Whidbey Island. It was a wonderfully relaxing weekend, as usual! We also enjoyed our first wedding gifts!! His parents gave us a beautiful Minton tea set and some of Mark's great grandmother's (who's name was Carrie ;) china! Since Mark's mom is English, tea is in his heritage and I feel so honored to be getting a piece of that!! Jack and Jean (and the rest of the Peeples), you are truly a blessing to both of us, thank you so much for your generosity!!
Here are a couple pics. Mark was funny and didn't quite understand the specialness or significance of the china ;)
