I am happy to say the list is dwindling.

Over the past week, we:

1)  Blocked hotel rooms for our out-of-town guests at the Days Inn & Hilton Garden Inn in Bloomington.

2)  Started our registries!  We actually had fun doing this!  We went to Bed Bath & Beyond and were able to use the scanning gun to choose our registry items.  This was TOO FUN.  Adrian personally really enjoyed choosing the cutlery & cookware  We also registered at Lowe’s and created an online registry at Wishpot.com.

3)  Met with our dear friend, Jon C., and asked him to marry us.  He graciously accepted (even said we gave him goosebumps!) and is really looking forward to the “honor”, as he said.  We are THRILLED!  Jon has been a close friend of Adrian’s since high school and they lived together when Adrian and I started dating.  So he’s been there from the very, VERY beginnings of “us”.  He was there when Adrian first mentioned me as the “girl at work” he was interested in.  He was there when I used to come over, “as friends”, and help Adrian with our art homework.  He was there when we would all sit on the couch together (after Adrian and I started dating) and watch old “Friends” episodes on DVD (can’t hide from the truth, boys).  He was always supportive, always fun, always a wonderful friend, and we are so excited he’ll be the one to lead the ceremony.  He should be getting ordained online anytime now.  (Speaking of, anyone know which are the legitimate get-ordained-online sites?)  

4)  Met with our photographer and close friend, Jason, to go over some details and have our engagement photos taken!  It was great to see Jason again.  He brought his 9-year-old son Jaden with him, much to Kai’s enjoyment, and while we walked the campus taking pictures, Jaden & Kai ran, jumped, danced, and laughed around us.  We are very excited to see the pictures

That’s it for now!  We’re moving right along at a steady pace, and things are getting done!  

I’m going up to Michigan City to see my family this weekend.  I’m going to bring my wedding dress so they can see it.  I’m so excited to show it off!  There are some things I want to do to it before my trip, though, so I’ve got to get started!

Till next time!
