Wedding Venue Chosen

Happy weekend.

First on the list was work and life, however there is not too much to report. We have both been VERY busy with work, puting in long hours and now we have added school to the mix. For Leah two days a week she is out from 6:30 to ten and Matthew now has school too which keeps him out till 10 one night a week. And of course, along with school comes homework-we now spend most of our weekends in the office...

With all of that keeping us running around it is amazing that we have found a litle time to try dance lessons. Our first class was this week and surprisingly we got pointed out as the people knowing what they were doing and did not get pulled aside for extra pointers. Impressive since Leah's sense of rhythm is NONexistant...

In more exciting news we have picked the wedding location.

We went back to Ohio in August. Immediately after stepping off the plane and feeling the humidity, we came to the conclusion that the wedding would be held inside. This was a little sad but we decided a necessity.

Sparing you all the visits, we decided on The Manor House. The ceremony and reception will both take place at the Mannor House but in seperate rooms. Here is a picture of the ceremony room - note the ceiling is all glass - so airconditioned but almost outside! Hooray!

Catch Up Part One


Shannah Tovah - Happy New Year.

Over the last few weeks I have gotten some gentle reminders that the blog hasn't changed... probably it has even been so long that no one checks it... how sad. But it is the new year -5769-and we should make some new years resolutions. Nothing too big, but blog more and check facebook less while procrastinating from school work seems to be an achievable one. 

So much has happened since the last blog way back over a month ago, that I will break all the wedding details and catch up information into some different posts so that we can get everyone all caught up.

Here are the details we haven't told you about over the last month that we will catch you up on over the course of the next week or so.
1-School and work (We will get the boring one out of the way first)
2-Choosing a wedding site (finally and we are excited!)
3-Our wedding planner (best decision EVER)
4-Flowers (we came up with a fun idea)
5-Our trip to Vegas (no we didn't get married)
6-Cooking adventures (everyone seems to love a good recepie post now and then)
7- Clothing details...-(bridesmaid dresses, tuxes, hairstyles etc.)
8-Our photographer and engagement photo session (who knew we were so cute)
9-Litle details-(like rings, invitations, table cloths and the one I have been putting off music...)
10-Chuppah and Ketubah designs! (Okay Laurie this is last on the list but we will be getting to it soon!)

Okay this seems to be a lofty catch up list, stay tuned....
