One month and counting!

We're crossing out T's and dotting our I's now that we're getting down to the final month of preparations. Don't forget about two of your own deadlines - if you haven't RSVP'd or booked your room at Stoney Creek Inn, time is winding down. Please be sure to RSVP by this Friday, July 2nd (or risk getting a call from me or Amanda!) - e-mail the bride-to-be at amanda.n.schneider@gmail.com or call her at (319) 471-3940. You also have until Friday, July 9th to book a room at Stoney Creek in our reserved block of rooms - call (608) 781-3060.

We're very much looking forward to the big day, and having many of you join in the celebration. I'll keep you posted with any pertinent information as time gets even closer. See you soon!

Hooray for summer!

I've been on "summer break" for a little over two weeks now, yet this is still only my second day off... I was in class (summer session for my teaching license) for six days and am also back working at Cherry Hills Country club, so I haven't exactly had much time to decompress after school let out (I'll write a reflection on this past year in a later blog).

Hopefully everyone has received their invitations by now - don't forget to call or e-mail us your response when you get a chance. We've had this nagging feeling that we've been forgetting something or leaving someone off our list - Excel spreadsheets are only as good as the information you put in them! As time gets closer (only six more weeks!) we keep wishing we would have hired a wedding planner. We're down to the nitty gritty now: music, programs, decorations, transportation etc. This weekend we're actually back in Wisconsin for the wedding of a friend of Amanda. Maybe we'll bring a pen and pad of paper to take notes and make sure we're not missing anything in our preparations :)

We're also getting our second set of engagement pictures done on Monday in "The Cities" (Minneapolis) before we fly back home. Amanda's friend Megan will be doing our wedding pictures and she has offered to do an engagement shoot too. I hope we won't come across as narcissistic when people come to our house for the first time and all we have up for decorations is pictures of ourselves!

Well, we're going to watch a local baseball game tonight - Amanda's brothers, Tim and Dan, are playing for Sparta Miller. "Take me out to the ball game..."
