The newest news...

So... Eric was in Orlando last week, from Monday night until Thursday morning.  On Monday, before he got here, I got a call that my 15 year old cousin had run away.  She has been having some problems for a little over a year now and it just seems to be such a cycle.  Needless to say, Monday was absolutely terrible, her and I are very close and all the unknowns while she is gone seems so desperate... by Monday night, we had no idea where she was but we did know that she was ok, so that was reassuring.  She ended up coming home on Thursday night around midnight... it just seems to be such a struggle- so heartbreaking with every day, every moment, that we don't know where she is. I don't know how this is all going to play out- but, for now, she is home and she is safe.

On Tuesday, we had our tasting at the Ritz.  It was absolutely wonderful! The food was great, they were open to anything we had to say about taste or presentation and my dad was FINALLY able to see the rooms we will get married and have the reception in.  He is so excited now about the wedding... which, of course, makes me more excited about the wedding.  I got some wedding related items engrave, registered at the tux place so the boys can go get them, ordered the bridesmaid's jewelry, found THE perfect fabric for the ties and sashes and figured out ALL of the vendors we are using.  Napkins and labels and gifts are ordered and should be delivered very soon... I feel like the next couple of months are going to be fantastic- that we can relax and not worry about all these details.  

I am heading to Tallahassee on Monday afternoon... having a dog really limits the times I can just take off and leave... which, by the way, she has been SO good the last week, it's been really nice.  Anyways, Eric will be moving this week, so I'm going to help him.   Hopefully, we will be able to figure out where we will be living after the wedding. 

I think I'm going to go and read for a while.  

Here's hoping we can get everything done...

An update.

It really seems like so much is going on... and yet, things are getting back to normal (at least a little... whatever that is.) Anyways, Eric and I are just going back and forth to see each other and finish up wedding plans.  Eric will be looking for an apartment in Tallahassee within the next month or two- so that will be really nice. He can totally move in and I can start taking boxes so it's not a huge concern right before the wedding.  That's actually really exciting to me...

My parents had an engagement party for us on Friday night and it was a really good time. So many people had advice about being engaged and getting married... and my cousin said that one of the best parts is seeing all the friends and family that you don't get to see very often and that has been so true.  Eric's dad and Dorothy along with his grandparents were able to come in from Texas and spend a few days, so that was fantastic.  

We'll be sending out save the dates this week, so yours should be there soon (:

Fenway has been acting weird the past two days... just a total shift in her personality- she's been wanting to be alone, walking slowly, hiding, and if she isn't back to normal within the next couple of days, I think I'm going to have to take her to the vet... it started last night and then she was fine for a couple of hours today and now she's back to being "off." So, hopefully nothing isn't seriously wrong. 

Ok, I guess that's about it... 

Here's to the next post being much more interesting.
