It's decided. I'm totally awful at updating this thing. Sorry! Well, let's see. Where are we? It's the end of April. Can you believe it? I'm so shocked! Actually, today is my little brother's birthday. He's 27. Of course, in my head he's perpetually 6 years old. My lil' Kissyfur! He hates that but he loved it when he was 6. My how he's grown...
Anyway, so Kevin has been productive. He and his dad just bought another Corvair. It's a 1964. It's this beautiful shade of red. It's just gorgeous. So that makes the fourth Corvair. Granted, the '61 is a parts car. The '63 is a work in progress. And the '65 is pretty much complete. I think the '64 has a few issues that they're working on but nothing major. I'm looking forward to a ride!
Besides that, Kevin has picked out the tuxedos for the groomsmen. He's got a special idea for his own tux. We just have to do a little research to find what we need to go with it. He ordered some stuff for the wedding. I'm so happy. That's one more thing checked off our super long list.
We had our tasting. My mom and brother came along. It was super yummy. We really had fun trying the different foods. And wine, of course. Which, Kevin has since started drinking reds. It's very cool. I'm really looking forward to our trip to Italy now. You have to drink red wine in Italy! Anyway, so more decisions have been made and stuff is planned for the reception. We have to meet with the florist still. That's on May 9th. I'm excited. I think that's the last big thing we have to do.
The reverend has been booked. The bridal party stylists have been reserved. I think a bunch of people have reserved rooms. Thanks to Mom for getting people organized with that. If you haven't reserved your room, you might want to hurry. Pheasant Run has some rooms available. Country Inn and Suites is still open, too.
Next on our list is getting our passports. I thought I knew where my old expired passport was. Yeah, no. I have no idea. But I was certain that my mom still had my birth certificate. Yeah, no. No clue where that is either. So I requested a copy from El Paso County where I was born. They were super fast. It did cost more than I had expected, $50, but I put the order in late on a Friday night well after closing time. By 7AM Colorado time I received an email confirming my order and giving me a UPS tracking number! So the passport paperwork is filled out. Pictures obtained. Birth certificates in hand. We're going to the post office today to apply. It's exciting! Kevin's never left the country before. And the last time he flew anywhere was in '95 or '96 I think. Yay! We're really looking forward to the wedding and the honeymoon!
And, I think we've changed our minds about the first dance song. We picked another song that's not as slow and low as the previous song. We still love that song but just not what we want for a first dance song. Now we've picked a song from RENT. It's going to be amazing! I just know it. I can actually see us dancing to this song. It might be rough since neither of us dance well but at least it will be entertaining!
I think we're doing well. We need to get some things engraved. We're working on ordering our stationary. It's all coming together. It's a great feeling. I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself when all this planning is done. I'll have tons of free time again. Weird!
We had a great Easter. Kevin's sister and her family came over. We had brunch at a country club somewhere... yeah, I'm bad with directions and stuff. Anyway, it was great. Lots of great food, the Easter Bunny, and mimosas! Then we went back to the house and the kids hunted for Easter eggs. Boy were there a lot! Aidan found lots and Megan was distracted by the candy inside. They both got a few great gifts from the Easter Bunny. Karen and Tom got a really nice cast iron dish. And the Easter Bunny even remembered me and Kevin. I think the Easter Bunny went a little crazy with his gift giving but we're very grateful! We got a Kindle! For those of you that don't know, it's an electronic library. It's a digital tablet that connects to the Internet. You can download books on to the device. Books vary in price. Some are as low as 99 cents! The Kindle holds up to 3,500 books! It's amazing. We're really excited about it. It's going to be great for the plane ride! Kevin got an extra fun gift. It's some sort of marshmallow or potato gun. It's a science project in a box from the guys that do Myth Busters.
We hope you all had a happy Easter, too!
Well that's it for now. I'll post again soon-ish. You know me.
