It's been quite a while since our last blog update, but boy howdy, have we been busy! Mostly fun stuff, of course-- after I returned from my 2-week tour in Europe (where yes, I was robbed, and no, it doesn't make sense to file a homeowner's claim), I had just enough time to do some laundry and re-pack my suitcase, and then were were off for Ocean Isle, NC!
After a whirlwind trip in Europe full of meetings at NATO and the UN and whatnot, the beach was a welcome reprieve. Cory and I spent six days doing next to nothing except swimming in the pool and in the ocean.
I got to meet so many wonderful folks I'd heard about, and everyone was so warm and welcoming that I felt immediately at home. Mary Beth planned a little engagement party on the beach for us complete with bride-and-groom decorated bottles of wine, wedding bells garland strung from the beach umbrellas, and CUPCAKES!
We came back home relaxed and toasty brown, and got right back to work with the wedding planning. In our first week back, we've met with the DJ, the florist, the jeweler, and the caterers (and the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker, for good measure.) Today we had an appointment for a tasting at the catering place and be assured, folks, that you are in for a treat as far as the food is concerned! I have half a mind to list the entire menu, but there is something to be said for the element of surprise.
We still have lots to do, but it's all coming together. We can't wait!
