We're back after a relaxing week of camping up at Devil's Lake. It was definitely a much needed break from life. We hiked everyday, made fires to cook our food and froze our toes off at night when the temp dropped to below 50 degrees inside our tent. We are now stuck in a haze of laziness and have spent the last two days sleeping and playing Blokus (best game ever). Tomorrow, Chris is moving out of my apartment and into his parent's house to watch the animals while they travel to Africa to visit relatives. My plans are to go to the dentist and clean my garbage pile that used to be my apartment. I wish I had more to update about weddingy stuff by alas, we are at a standstill for at least another week. My father has decided on the Herrington Inn in Geneva, IL and we have plans to visit the location next Saturday.
Here;s an update on my lofty wedding ideas:
1. Keep the budget around $10,000: I still want to do this but my father is talking about having a selection of wines and steak for dinner...
2. Book a location that is already beautiful so we don't have to worry about decorations: Luckily the Herrington isn't too ugly :)
3. Find my mother's wedding dress that is rumored to be stowed away in my parents' basement and see if it is salvageable: it's not. It is completely ruinned and I will have to buy a nice dress.
4. Find a way to feed our 100 guests at about $40 a person: HA
5. Get a date, so I can finally answer people when they ask me: looks like the end of June 2010...
On a side note, my family keeps making these comments about my dress and how I need to buy something nice so I look pretty. Why am I beginning to feel like there is something wrong with the way I dress...
