Mimi & Brian Tie the Knot!
Update-o-Rama
Wow, so much is happening now, and so quickly! I've got a whole list of things I want to blog about, but there are new things to add to it all the time ... I'm overwhelmed! (As if wedding planning isn't supposed to be hectic, right?)
So, some things:
Bridal Shower was a smashing success! Mimi and all the ladies gathered at the VFW in Petersburg, where her dad, Tom, is a former Commander and current chef in the kitchen. So, between him and his girlfriend Kathy, there was yummy Mexican food and quesadillas for all. The ladies played games, I hung out with some friends over on the bar side of the VFW, and we returned home with a big pile of gifts that we have nowhere to put and still hasn't moved from the center of our living room!
Suit's are done! I picked out the g-men's suits, from After Hours. Again, with the very nice, subtle tonal striping that matches my own suit. Cha-ching! Now we just need all the guys to go and get measured.
Titanium! Yes, that's the flavor of my wedding band, which Mimi and I picked up just recently. The latest in cutting-edge engineering metal technology, oh yeah!
Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties! These are in the works now, for sometime in August. Mimi and I don't know all the details, but I think I'm in store for a day at the Michigan Renaissance Fest ... you know, viking helmets, goblets of mead, lusty beer wenches, meat right off the drumstick, stuff like that... :)
Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner. These are now set. Rehearsal is at 4:30 on Friday on the Boyer, with dinner following at Tony Packo's. And then some possible bonfire plans to follow...
Honeymoon! Well, other than the immediate excitement of the "ASME 30th Annual Mechanisms and Robotics Conference at the 2006 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conferences & the Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, held inPhiladelphia , PA", which is our first pit-stop, we're now planning our getaway to the romantic Poconos in northeast Pennsylvania. There are a lot of nice B&B's and inns up that way. There's also a lot of places with 7 foot tall champagne glass jacuzzis, which we mean to avoid at all costs. Actually, if anyone has any lodging suggestions, let us know soon!

So, hold tight, and we hope to actually write a bit more on all this fun stuff.
Adios! -Brian

I just wanted to appologize for my cranky baby at the shower. I also, wanted to thank those who kindly swooped Summer up and held her for a bit. After I dashed out (sorry about that too, but you understand), I was made aware that Summer is teething. Yep, mom of the year had to have someone else tell me that my child is teething. So, hense the crankiness. Her first tooth finally came in later that week. Once again, I am sorry for crying baby, but now you all know why.

I would like to thank everyone, also, for making the shower a sucess. Alas, I was home with a nasty ailment. I missed everyone in between episodes and when coherent :-)

Diana, your baby is a pleasure and teething is a part of babies! Don't worry about it. I didn't even notice her crying and we were right near her! My 8-year-old daughter held her and had a great time! : ) Glad you could come.
