Taking a moment to check in while things are quieter. It has been a whirlwind of activities between work, the kids, holidays and wedding planning. I got one last camping weekend in Veterans day weekend before winterizing the RV for the season and tucking it away at the house. I still have some cleaning and interior maintenance I want to do. Though with the RV home, that is just firing up the furnace for a bit so that its comfortable to work inside. I suspect much of that will happen after the new year.
We are 25 days till the wedding!!!! As you can guess we are busy! We just finalized our cake design with Disney as the focal in that with a tie in to our choice of blue and silver as our wedding colors and allowing for decorations to show off the red and green of the season. I been keeping busy on the yard and pulling together all the little things with Melissa, from signs and other crafting projects, to running our errands to have everything ready for the big day.
To make sure we know December is the busiest time of the year, we also have her big 4-0 birthday on the 15, and lots of kid activities with concerts and shows sprinkled through the month. Her friends have been planning more of a pre-wedding celebration then a traditional shower for her. We don't need much for gifts, though we did register for items we would like for the house. With blending two homes, the list is shorter then young newlyweds for sure.
We also have our Honeymoon pretty well booked out with Keys to the kingdom tour, Victoria and Alberts dinner on New Years Day, plus lots of time in our favorite place on earth. Tomorrow we go pick up both our custom wedding bands, and our marriage license and sneak in a lunch we normally do not get to have together.
This week we are decorating the house for the holidays. We agreed to make it merry and bright, but easy to pack up after we return from our honeymoon. So far we the main tree is up and our first decoration has been placed. And more will join it tonight.
We are also putting another tree up near a front window that we can see every evening we return home this month. We don't have a lot of traffic living on a cul-da-sac, though the outside decorations are for as much as others that enjoy driving around and viewing each others.
More updates to come as I find the time.
I am getting ready to submit my hard work to the 501st for approval. I have done an event as a squire, helping get Stormtroopers and Flametroopers ready to go. It is a great group of guys and looking forward to a fun future with them. Maybe if I am lucky, can get an event or two done in Florida....
That is awesome! I have a racing buddy that does that as well around the N. VA area as a Chewbacca, stormtrooper and I think even as an Empire ranking officer. If you run into a Matt from VA, asking him about NASA racing or the frenchmans pool party. I am sure he will laugh at the small world we have.
@garneska I hope mal is back on the road to recovery (and less cleanup.) Pressure sores have to be really hard on her, I hope somehow you can get her to heal up some.
