Busy, Busy, Busy

I have decided to be the guest blogger for this edition since Kyle is busy blogging for the Wizards as they are in the middle of their season.

We have all sorts of things going on lately with both of us moving out of our apartments, trying to get the house in living condition (there is still no toilet) and continually doing wedding planning.

I can't believe we are almost in August! The wedding is only 137 days away. We have the first of the wedding showers coming up in just a couple of weeks, and we are working on pulling together details tomake December 5th a great night. We are both growing more and more excited to join our families together. This past weekend our families got together to celebrate my 26th birthday, and I fear that the combination of our fathers sense's of humor and a little bit of Pisco will make for a fun and entertaining wedding!

We have completed our wedding registries and you can find them at Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and Crate and Barrel. I have never had so much fun. There were a few times where I feel we may have gotten a little carried away with the scanner, but we laughed a lot and really enjoyed ourselves.

**Update...Kyle snuck in here and put links to all the places we've registered on the right. Feel free to point, click and buy gifts :)

The house is coming along and we will be moved in by the end of the month. For my birthday I recruited a few friends and celebrated by having a Priming Party. It was a ton of fun and we were able to knock out a few rooms and really help speed up the process. We are on our way with the bathroom as well. We have stopped ripping things out and are in the process of putting things back together. I project that we will have the necessary pieces in there by this time next week.
*The gas station around the corner will be losing a lot of business when that happens!

I am so grateful for our parents and brothers who have spent many nights and weekends with us helping to make our house a home. We definitely couldn't do all of the work without their support.

Hope everyone is having a great summer, and I will try and keep you posted.

Engagement Pics

We had a great time with our photographer, Erica Price of Sparrow Photography, back in early June. It was a really hot day. By the end, we decided to cool off by getting ourselves some gelato. Good choice! Here are some of our favorites below. We hope you enjoy!
