5 days and. . .

Things accomplished over the weekend- the guys went out and from what I hear a good time was had by all (except the flat tire but at least that was afterwards).  Some of the girls came over and we partied in our own fashion- pizza, movie, baking, and glueing until the late hours (LOL).  Just as the leaves are turning perfectly outside, the inside of the house is looking like a tree exploded.  Thank-you so much Traci and Amanda for eating pizza, being pie testers, and nobody glued their fingers together.

Everything is coming along beautifully- even Mother Nature is cooperating- the trees are beautiful, the weather is perfect (bit of rain Thursday and Friday, but Saturday is supposed to be clear and near 70!). If there are any changes to venues we will be sure to contact everyone.

Any questions just give us a call, text, or email :)  Can't wait to see everyone!!!

Where'd this wire come from?

Apparently we're down to it.  Just a quick update- gathering after the wedding is at 44 Allen Avenue in Auburn (our house). This is going to be low-key so feel free to bring a change of clothes (no such thing as 'lounging' in fancy duds, right?). We'll have a variety of munchies - veggie, fruit, meat, and cheese platters, chips, crackers- finger foods! We also plan on grilling some chicken, with coleslaw and salad (not grilling those, of course. That's cruelty to salad), drinks (both alcoholic and not), and a selection of desserty things.

If you want to be sure something you drink (ie: beer) is available- feel free to bring your own, we'll even 'hide' it (and mums the word!) if you don't want to bring a whole party's worth. Believe us, we understand!

We'd also certainly welcome anyone wanting to share a special dish, drink, treat, etc - please keep in mind it should be easily transportable and/or able to wait- Fort Popham is about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from the house (depending on traffic, etc). You can always contact us via email, fb, or phone if you have any questions.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone and spending our day with you :)

Edits, edits, re-arranging, and edits

Added links to maps going to Fort Popham and then from the Fort to our house (at the top).  Right click and open in a new tab or window or you'll be redirected from the blog page. I can't figure out how to get Blogger to play nice like that.  Same thing with the registration sites- they're listed over on the right (Target and Bed, Bath, & Beyond). And thanks to Shawn I can't say Bed, Bath, and Beyond without having an echo of Buzz Lightyear in my head. And, you're welcome :)

With the registries I'd like to say please do NOT feel like you have to buy something.  Sure, everyone likes new things, but honestly, we don't NEED anything. We created the registries (and at this moment, the Target one is sparse) because we know WE would want to bring something to someone's wedding. And lists are useful.  You'll see there's lots of duplications (I've got an issue with bedding. I acknowledge that).  And we tried to include a mix of low-price and wish items.  Many things can be duplicated even if you see only 1 or two of the item listed (sheets?  Please, feed my addiction. Same thing with towels. And chip clips are just a given, can never have enough).

Some Details

As they used to say on Carson, "More To Come".

First blogs first.  Welcome to our wedding blog!  We'll dump stuff in here like where, when, how; and you can dump stuff in here like where, when, how, why. . and we'll try to answer as best we can. Or who knows, maybe someone else in this crazy place can answer, too :D
