I have to admit, I have become quite The Knot junkie. There is just so much to look at, stuff I never even thought about! I also started to look at wedding pictures of people from around Arizona, and oddly I found the kid I used to tutor in high school geometry. So weird. It's odd to see someone who is younger than you, so grown up. Hell, it feels weird to say that I'm grown up.

Anyway, Jason has pretty much adopted the attitude of "whatever makes you happy" about the wedding. It's already really annoying. It's really hard to get him to help me on anything. I really want to get a jump start on things so that I'm not freaking out over the next year, and we know what we will need to budget for. We (and I use the term "we" very loosely) have picked out a date of October 3rd, 2009. So mark that date in your calendar, folks! We really need to decide on where we want to have it. No matter where we have it, we're going to inconvenience one side of the family, which we both hate. However, Jason had an idea to just do it in the middle somewhere, which in theory sounds great, but then not only are both sides of the family inconvenienced, but so are we, and I really don't want the added stress of having to blindly pick a place to get married, have a reception, pick a photographer, caterer, etc. etc. because I can't physically go see it, and then have it not be anything like what is described or what pictures looks like, plus all the travel hassle on top of that. I don't think Jason quite understands that yet, so we are still debating on where to have it. I do have a few ideas in mind, but I can't seem to drag him away from the Xbox long enough to get any kind of input. (I'd like to take a moment to thank my boss for doing a game swap so that he now has an "excuse" to sit in front of the TV the entire time he's home... thanks Kurtis.)

I've looked online at a few dress places, and although I haven't found a wedding gown I like, I think I may have found the bridesmaid's dresses. Now, I just need to ask the bridesmaids to actually BE the bridesmaids. :p I'm starting this weekend with my maid of honor, I know she will say yes, but I'm waiting until then anyway. Back to the wedding gown, the wife of one of the people I work with is a seamstress, and if I have luck finding a dress pattern this weekend, I am going to ask her how much it would cost to have a custom dress made. As for the tuxes, I am letting Jason pick them out. From the sounds of it though, I'm pretty sure he wants a no button jacket (which I don't think I've ever seen) and a vest. As for the colors, I'm keeping them hush hush for now. :)

I guess I should stop killing time by posting on here, and finish up the rest of the site. Ta ta!
