Spring Break??

Whew! What a week it was. My final spring break of my college career is now over and I'm able to look back and see all the things Alexa and I got done. It all started off with Alexa's first bridal shower. We received a lot of great things that will definitely help us to get started after our wedding.


Speaking of the wedding... We got a lot of our stuff done for that over break too. We had a few issues with our invitations since we were making them ourselves, but once we figured out our problem was the stamp pad not having enough ink we got back on track and finished them up after buying a new pad. They are now all sealed up and waiting for the addresses and stamps.


We also finalized a lot of what is going to happen at the reception; the food, the music, the table decorations, etc. One of the really exciting things was our trip to Hazleton to the amish community to talk with them about doing some baking for us, namely some buns to serve meat on and some angel food cakes. We were going to do strawberry shortcakes, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to have them make angel food cakes for us. You definately should look forward to this!!

We did go through our house again. It is getting easier and easier to see ourselves in it the more we go through it and the more stuff that is being taken down off the walls. It is much easier to visualize what we can do to it once we get in there. But with that now comes the responsibilities of finding insurance and getting the utilities switched over to our name, so we are also realizing that it's not just all fun and games, which it has been up to this point.

We were able to take advantage of the warm weather and do some things outside. We are definitely looking forward to the summer and being done with school so we can enjoy the nights outside without having to worry about homework and what we have to get done by the next day. We are now down to 54 days until our wedding, and 5 weeks from Thursday we close on our house so things are starting to move along and we are getting really excited to get it all finished!
