7 weeks to go
Wow- we haven't updated in a month almost! Life is too busy. Flying by! Agh!! Anyhow, things are coming together slowly. Checks are going out, things are getting organized. Dress is out with the seamstress being taken in and shortened. Barongs have been received. Plane tickets and hotel rooms have been purchased. Ready to go!
What isn't yet ready is my dad's house. We've spent the last few months just tearing it up, and are just now starting to put it back together! With my dad we have replaced a ton of drywall, added tile downstairs, painted the kitchen, tore out ALL the cabinets, took down the deck, tore up half the carpet in the house, tore down part of the carport, planted a flower garden, moved loads of material around, gotten rid of old furniture, etc etc etc. Neverending fun! But- it is good practice for that elusive house we may someday own.
Why are we spending every weekend of our last few months of non-married life working on this? We're having a big old party the Friday before the wedding. Instead of a rehearsal dinner, we thought it would be way more fun to have a party that we could invite everyone too- even all our friends we can't invite to the wedding. Even our coworkers. Even our neighbors from back in the day.
So. 6 more weekends and the house will be finis! I hope! :)
