43 days

It's been ages since my last post. Here's (some of) what we've been working on...

- Getting shoes for the Tan and Pono to wear in the wedding
- Finding a ring bearer (which we may have locked in today!)
- Finding an emcee for the reception (ditto on the potential locking down)
- Working with bruddah Kris on songs to play during the ceremony
- Wrapping up pre-marital counseling (WOO HOO for the Moulders!)
- Getting favors ordered (they look AWESOME! Thanks, Buck!)
- Looking into renting a photo booth (Thoughts, anyone? Yay or nay?)
- Finding me a shirt to wear to the wedding
- Making those AMAZING invites (this was all Ali and company...I just did some taping and the mailing)

- Having 2 bridal showers in MN (Ali had such a great time and brought back some awesome stories of her visit. Thanks for taking care of her, ladies.)

- Looking for wedding bands

- Making a play list for music at the reception (any requests?)

- Getting another Ali-related tattoo (pictures will be here soon. Thanks again, Buck!)

Alright, that last one doesn't really relate to the wedding but it is still cool. I think, anyway. In any case, all this stuff is happening (or needing to happen) on top of Ali and I getting crazy busy with work as the academic year wraps up. There's SO much wedding stuff to do still. That list is not at all complete. WOW. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. It is all going to be great, I am sure of that. We will get there.

Thanks for all of your help, support, prayers, positive thoughts, well wishes, and care thus far. Ali and I are blessed to have great friends and family surrounding us right now.

That's it for now. Stay tuned. More information as the countdown continues...
