What does this picture have to do with our wedding? Well stay tuned to find out. It's very exciting. And yes, our wedding does have Free Admission - but don't think it's that simple!


In other wedding news, CD and I have got a great start to the back yard projects and the ideas in place. We even have someone to help us design some of the components we need help with. So that's all fun and good.

Have I mentioned how excited I am about this picture ? Yes that's right you guessed it......

EFFIN EXCITED

What we should do v. What we will do....

We have a lot of yard work and landscaping to get done before the big day. And I mean A LOT people.....


So here is what we should do:

I should take pictures ala "before and after" of the amazing transformation that will take place over the course of the next year.

Here is what we will do:

Not take any pictures and then wish we had.

Of course I just did document a hippo animal cracker hanging out at Balance. So maybe I can take photos after all.

Les was over last night and we got a little weeding done and talked about what we need. Moms in town this weekend, so hopefully we can figure out a bit more.

Awesomeness!

We're Really Gonna Do This Thing! We're Really Gonna Do This Thing!

So kids.....it's time to plan us a pig roast.

CD and I waited to set the new date till we saw what the weather would be like around mid May. It was still a little to hit or miss for us, so we decided to set the date for a nice June wedding.

And so you have it.... June 12th 2010 - The Effin Pig Roast.

A couple of updates since we've last spoke.

* We are proud to have Grandma's Kitchen holding down the tunes!

**We requested Gov. Granholm marry us. We actually got the request to the Gov - however, she said she only does good friends. So...with that said I have less than a year to befriend Jennifer! :-) I'm going to ask one more time - and start thinking of Plan B's for the ceremony. Any ideas...send them my way.

***CD and I have finally figured out how we want to landscape the backyard. And we still have some time to get it done. So we'll be making a list and starting to knock out those projects little by little.

I think that's all of the planning things that are new and of fun value. I'm just excited we have another date. It should be fantastic. And I may need some help planning, so if anyone reading this wants to donate an hour or two to the big program, please feel free.

I'm very excited for this next year. I think CD and I have a decent handle on the biz, we are figuring out how to make time (take time) for ourselves, and it will be good to take a day, come together with all of our friends/family and really do this thing!

The Effin road block

Well....it's been a long time since I've sat down and wrote an effin post.

I can't begin to tell of the stress CD and I had in our final push to get Balance open on time and running. But we effin did it! YAY US!

We, however, learned quickly that with the business and all the politics that came with the buildout - we didn't have the time, money or energy to try and get the pig roast ready for May. It is a good solid relationship saving decsion to not and try to rush anything.

However, as May approaches we both are a little sad that the effin ceremony has been effin pushed for an effin year. But! And this is a good but. But, I think it's going to be great b/c we are going to have more time to get our yard ready, get our save the date cards out and save a little mula.

We haven't set the next date - we are going to wait to see how the weather for May is this year and then if we think it is warm enough we'll set for May next year if not, we'll push for a little further into the summer.

So I suppose this ends with a "Stand By" - the offiical date and planning will kick off again real soon. And in the mean time if we can get Amy home for a spell, we may jaunt over to Canada and see what it feels like to be effin legal!
