Dinner tonight was a late one. Luckily my little perogies held me over through a nearly 7k run, and even then I wasn’t feeling all that hungry, but I had been looking forward to dinner all day, so I couldn’t not make it!
I ended up whipping up a pot of comfort food — Annie’s Mac & Cheese — shortly after 8:30. Dumped my favourite condiment on top, and ate it before anyone could tell me to do otherwise.
I spent a good hour on the phone with my mother, talking about wedding stuff. It’s really hard living four hours away from your projected wedding site, and not being able to really check things out and solidify plans in person. My mom is checking a few things out for us this week, and we’re calling to make the final arrangements.
Joey did a fantastic job today getting ahold of the guy we wanted as our DJ, and asked how much he would charge for the evening. His response to Joey’s questions: of course, he would be honoured to DJ our wedding, and — were we kidding?! — it’s on the house! Wahoo! Free is my favourite price!
We’re thinking about honeymoon possibilities as well: we’re planning on going to Ireland in Spring 2011 with Joey’s grandmother and aunts [who are Irish through & through], so we were thinking of doing something really small for our actual honeymoon, and just relaxing. Let’s be honest here, there probably won’t be much sightseeing happening anyway! But I just got word of an interesting prospect thanks to a client of my father’s, so our honeymoon just might be getting upgraded to an overseas getaway instead of a cottage on the beach a few hours away [and again for free!].
Everything really seems to be falling into place for us, and if we can just get a few family members to bee a little less opinionated and more on board with what we want to do for our wedding, the next nine months of engagement will be super fantastic ones.
I love being engaged!
