Howdy All,
So with every "friendly" reminder email from theknot I am super aware of the fact that the wedding is 53 friggin days away! I can't believe it. It is so insane to me how quickly the last few months have flown by. All in all, Matt and I feel like we are in pretty good shape. My AWESOME Aunt Linda sent me a song list that was super helpful, and I am still up for suggestions. We have already received RSVP cards (thank you all the punctual people out there!) and are just feeling so blessed to have such amazing friends and families who will travel to a field in the middle of nowhere to see Matt and I's love for each other! CRAZY!
Although no matter how hard we try, we spend 85% of our day discussing wedding stuff, we decided yesterday...Labor Day...to do something fun and NONwedding related. So we went kayaking. However, we did not plan to go kayaking originally, so Matt went kayaking in khaki shorts and a polo. Anyone who has ever kayaked in the rear of a tandem kayak can understand what a HUGE mistake this was, on top of the mistake kayaking for the first time with ME. We spent the first 15 minutes spinning in circles with Matt getting soaking wet from the deluge of lake water my paddle was dumping on him with the conversation going something like this:
MATT: we suck
ME: your negative
MATT: but we suck
ME: WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO ON THE AMAZING RACE LIKE THIS!
MATT: but we going IN CIRCLES!!!! WHY ARE WE GOING IN CIRCLES!?!
ME: um were gonna hit that tree
MATT: that tree is 30 feet away..
(now 30 feet closer to the tree)
MATT: TREE!!!! PADDLE LEFTLEFTLEFTLEFT
ME: NO RIGHTRIGHTRIGHT
MATT: we suck
ME: yup...ooo look at that pretty tree....
MATT: LEFTLEFTLEFT!!!!
and SCENE.
So in the end, we were able to paddle not in circles, and actually enjoy ourselves. I loved the upper body workout! It was nice to break up the same ol gym/workout video routine. After the kayak experience we went on a soaking wet hike and just took the afternoon OFF from wedding...it was so wonderful to just get back to us and not talk about guestslists and budgets and tablecloths.
Now back to tablecloths....
Not tablecloths exactly, but to tables. We are still looking for dishes and servingware. If anyone has old china they were planning on donating to the goodwill, you can drop it off at my parents' house. We are using them to feed people. It's hard blogging, I want to tell everyone everything we are doing at the wedding, but I want it to be a surprise! So, I'll leave you with a danceparty play list...a little mix of fun, oldies but goodies, and some new stuff too. Enjoy!
