10 Weeks

Well this past week and weekend has been busy again! On Thursday I went over to my friends, Josh and Yoli's place, for a wonderful dinner and meeting their newest addition Josie and catching up with Jadzia and Ludi. I couldn't believe that Jadzia was only three, she is so tall and I got to see her do some awesome ballerina moves. Ludi is so affectionate and gave me a hug as I was leaving. It was so nice going there after work as work has been rough on my lately that being around children just makes the worries go away! Yoli and I talked about Eric's surprise groom cake and discussed the details. I am confident that it will be a wonderful cake and can't wait to see it and eat it!

On Friday, Eric and I went over to another friends place. We finally got to meet Rachel's husband, Frank! I knew he existed but Eric was getting doubtful since he has never seen the guy! We had a blast and even learned a few things from her kids, Kate and Jack. I noticed that Steve in the Blues Clues wears the same shirt all the time. From a night with three girls to a night with a girl and a boy, I definitely can see that boys have a lot more energy. I was able to ask Kate if she would be our flower girl. She denied our request at first, but agreed to think about it. We would be thrilled if Kate agreed, but understand if she did not want to, because walking down the aisle with 200 plus people looking at you can be quite intimidating! Especially for a 4 year old!

Friday we also found out that four of our pictures from the engagement photo shoot were up on the photographer, Ken's, website. To see the pictures, enter the site, click on galleries, and then N + K engagement. I'm not sure why it's K and not E. I love the pictures, not the hair!

We rescheduled our second hour for March 31st which will be my 28th birthday! Wow, I'm getting old and I have the gray hair to prove it!

Today, Eric and I got up early to meet my mom. We went to a secret place to talk about a secret, awesome addition to our reception. We are very excited about this and believe that you will be blown away when you witness this unique thing. I know, it's killing you right? Just wait 10 more weeks!

Afterwards, we went to buy our big double happiness symbol (see below). We will have it at our ceremony and reception then it'll be on our headboard which a couple of my Chinese friends have told me will stay for a few months after the wedding.

In the afternoon, Eric and I went to Michaels and Big Lots to look at candles, ribbons, etc. We are now focusing our efforts on the centerpieces and the wedding favors which I thought were not going to be a big deal, but has now turned into a time consuming affair. We hope we have lots of friends willing to come over and help us out again once we get all the material together!
