Summer ending! Almost time for a Fall wedding!

I'm soooooooo glad it's FRRRIIIDDDAAAYYY!!!! And a very special happy birthday to my fiance! 365 days and counting till she says good-bye to the twenties for good! Hehe. We're going to have a great dinner tonight, and I bet you all cannot guess what kind of food we're having! If you guessed seafood, you were wrong, lol. Of course it's Mexican food! I'm blessed enough to get to have some world famous Archuleta cooking. It's even more special because the entire Archuleta crew will be in attendance as Craig and Adria are in town! Yes!!! With that said, the main reason they made the impromput trip to Denver is to say good-bye to Grandma Rosie, Monica's maternal grandmother. Rest in peace!! You will be missed!!

Switching gears to wedding stuff....man is it busy!! I remember the days when I could just go home from work and simply relax in front of the television or computer. Not anymore! With 69 days to go, this wedding is coming at us very quickly. Combine the wedding with the recent decision that Monica and I are going to move in the middle of October, and you have two very overwhelmed people! It is kinda fun though, hehe.

Upcoming wedding stuff includes yet another trip to Loveland to meet with the photographer and florist. We probably have a cake tasting that same day as well if we can line the schedules up. We know what we want the cake to look like though, so it's just a matter of finding the right flavor of the cake. Other than that trip, which I'm really thinking may be our last before the big day, we keep moving along. Speaking of moving along, I just looked at the calendar and we're a little under 4 and a half weeks out of our deadline for hotel room bookings! Once Oct 25 passes, there's nothing I can do. You want to get in at our special rate! If you're going to stay overnight (just $80 for two people gets a two bedroom suite) then you need to reserve soon! Your credit/debit card won't be charged beforehand, and it gets you all set so you don't have to drive home that evening. You won't want to because we plan on partying!!

Have a great weekend everyone, go Giants!!! YEAH!!!!

Another trip up north!

You know, I gotta tell ya…if I wasn’t excited about the wedding before, I’m now REALLY excited about it! On Saturday the 4th, Monica, Monica’s mother (Yolanda), Jennifer (Monica’s cuz and bridesmaid), and yours truly took another trip up the beautiful city of Loveland. We had a long sit down meeting with our wedding coordinator and we also were fortunate enough to be up there at the same moment another couple was having their wedding reception. In a word....WOW. The setup was extremely elegant, and I honestly have zero complaints. I really, really think you all are going to like it. We have finally found a cake decorator, and after checking out her portfolio, we’re very, very pleased! Now we have the tough task of heading back up there for a cake tasting (I know, I know…times are rough, lol). Vote in the poll to the right!

We’re now seeing the RSVPs begin to trickle in, and since no one has complained yet, I will assume that everything is working fine! We have a little over a month left for you all to reserve rooms. Remember, the date to reserve a room is different than the final RSVP date. The Embassy Suites will release the block of rooms we have on October 25, and that killer rate that we have will be no more. There’s nothing that I can do about it either! Reserving a room only requires a debit/credit card, and your card won’t even be charged until wedding time.

Short and sweet! Less than 80 days and counting…QUICKLY to the big day! I’m not sure I will post again this week, so everyone have a great week, and GO NY GIANTS!! Yeah!!
