With just a day left before we need it, I am finalizing the playlists for the wedding. Honestly, Dana compiled most of the music (with my input) and I did all the engineering. Everything is loaded onto the iBook, but I still want to work on transitions between songs and having the iPod ready as a backup.
(Argh! It just started to rain… Please stop raining soon.)
Hi everyone!
Sorry about the lack o’ posts lately but Pete and I have been swamped with last minute projects and details. Plus, to slow things down even further, I sprained my ankle Thursday night when I fell off my BOSU ball during my fitness class at the YMCA. For those of you not familiar, the BOSU ball is as close to a torture device as the FDA will allow. It is a half-sphere, with a flat bottom, used to “strengthen your legs and core.” Since it is “spongy” (like a fitness ball cut in half), you are constantly using your abs and legs to keep balanced. During the last few minutes of class, we were jumping on top of the BOSU and I came down a little off-center, heard a snap and hit the ground HARD. And then commenced crying and writhing…It was not a pretty sight!
I’ve been staying off of it as much as I can. It’s still swollen and has turned a lovely shade of purple and black. But, I’m fairly sure I’ll be all healed up for the wedding. If not, I may be contacting a couple of you to act as surrogate brides for the first dance! Just watch out, Pete tends to be a toe-crusher…
As far as the plans go, everything is coming together nicely! I don’t foresee any glitches, although one never does. I have finished my vows and Pete has started his; although, he’s feeling a bit stressed about them. So, if anyone has suggestions for vows, send them his way. Milt, this excludes you!
We’re getting excited and can’t wait to see everyone in just 18 short days!!
To get married in Wisconsin, you need a marriage license, and to get one of those, you need birth certificates. We probably waited a bit too long to take care of this. Dana just got hers last week, and we went to Madison to get mine, and while the paperwork has all been filed, I’m still waiting for mine to show up in the the mail. I actually got two of them, since I may need to submit one for a passport. You know, in case we ever need to leave the country…
Sorry we haven’t posted lately, but we’ve been extremely busy fishing, and digging up fossils, and writing letters. Yes, we’re obsessed with playing Animal Crossing on the GameCube.
Dana has a huge house, and is awesome at fishing and digging up fossils. I on the other hand, have a modest little shack, and can occasionally catch a fish.
Oh, the kids play too sometimes…
In pete + dana news, Pete has been hired by Z2 Marketing + Design, an amazing company located in Delafield, Wisconsin…
They’ve got him doing all sorts of stuff, from desktop & network tech support, to building web sites, with more in store.
Pete is happy to have a job he loves and be working with people he respects. Hooray for satisfying work!
If you know me (Pete) you know I am not a tuxedo kid of guy. I don’t own a tie. Heck, I don’t even like wearing shirts with buttons on them! That doesn’t mean I won’t be dressed somewhat formal for the wedding. So for those of you showing up, you’ll get to see me dressed all fancy (but not too fancy… No tuxedos!) And for those of you not able to attend, I’m sure there will be photos on this site and over on Flickr…
