We Like to Party!

The summer is sneaking up on us and we are so excited to celebrate. We have started planning our engagement party for this July. I'm working on the invitation to our party instead of doing school work - messing around on Paint Shop Pro is much more fun. We are trying to be creative about these things.

We have narrowed our venue search down a bit. We've looked at a bunch of catering halls and have even narrowed those down to a few that we like. We have a favorite right now, we'll see what happens as it gets closer. We still have so much time that it seems almost unreasonable to book right now. We are not tied to a specific date so we are in no rush to book.

I have also started looking at dresses online, mostly at David's Bridal. I'm partial to them because of their reasonable prices. They also have a great petite selection and a fabulous website where brides post under the dress they chose, and most of them also add pictures. It helps to see real people in the dresses rather than just stick thin, tall models.

In other news, Neal and I are both starting grad school in the latter part of this year. Neal will be starting CUNY Queens as a part of their education program, studying to be a Math teacher, and I'll be working on my MAT in Instructional Technology at NYIT.

Between our jobs, school, and wedding plans, we have our work cut out for us over the next two years- what an exciting time for us! Expect your engagement invites soon!
