The Short Short Short Version
Ah! So I was going to have time to do a full post, but plans have changed! Douglas started a new internship this week and was supposed to work Tues, Wed, Fri. However, they asked him to switch his Thurs and Fri. What does this have to do with posting? Well, it means we can leave for Roanoke sooner! Even if we don't leave until tomorrow morning, there's still stuff to get together.
What are we planning to do this trip?
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!
What are we planning to do this trip?
- Apply for wedding license!
- Pick up wedding rings!
- Meet with the caterer
- Possibly meet with the rabbi to work out ceremony details
- Our ketubah arrived today!
- I have an idea for a hair style.
- Found a salon to check out. I'll schedule a trial for my next visit into Roanoke.
- We figured out the groomsmen gifts.
- The groomsmen are getting their clothes taken care of.
- We have the concept for our centerpieces! We'll probably have the color scheme worked out this weekend.
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!

Oh, September
Have no fears, your Google Reader didn't glitch. There was no post last week. Douglas came home! It's a bit bittersweet because we were hoping the his internship would turn into immediate full time work, but we'll take it as long as we're back living together.
Not wasting any time, Douglas set up another internship, this time locally. He starts after the holiday weekend. We're both glad that he'll be working, but man would September be easier if he wasn't or if we could afford to have a second car. As always, we'll make it work. Other than my job and his internship, we have a trip to Roanoke next weekend which doubles as a wedding trip and a networking trip and two weeks later we're attending a wedding in South Carolina on Saturday and then a wedding in Charlotte on Sunday! Busy busy bees. Then we're in October!!! AH!
Of the many things we have planned to knock out on our next Roanoke visit, we were going to try to squeeze in applying for the wedding license. Having a delayed stroke of genius, I double checked what ID documents we'd need for the state of Virginia. A copy of a birth certificate isn't good enough, it has to be a certified copy. Not having one, we jumped online and researched how to apply for a copy, how much it would cost, and how long we'd have to wait for it. Average waiting time is between 5-10 days for the order to be processed so we don't really expect to have the document in-hand before the Roanoke trip. So the marriage license will have to wait for another trip.
Speaking of marriage licenses and contracts, we ordered our ketbuah! I love the wording on our ketubah. The language is so heartfelt that we're probably going to combine the reading of the ketubah with the vows and just have the language serve double duty.
Oh, and another thing we have done, we have our first dance song narrowed down to two tunes.
I apologize for how my posts as of late seem to break off after a short time. It's difficult to keep a train of thought going when there's a lot going on in the house. Since both Douglas and Louis won't be home until after 6p starting next Thursday, I'm hoping that I'll be able to squeeze out better posts in the hour or so of downtime between work and chaos. :)
