Wow! It’s been quite a while between posts! Although there are a few positive aspects to planning a wedding in 5 weeks, I also seem to find myself in a time crunch. What usually takes a year to do, must be squeezed in around cooking, work, company coming over, the finale of SYTYCD, and a multitude [...]

So after 3 long years, plus 3-4 more long months of engagement, Scott and I have finally, FINALLY, chosen our wedding date. This time, for real. Nothing but death or dismemberment will be running this one off the road.
