Wow, Sunday night again! Where do the weekends go, people?!

Had a nice Sunday though. This morning, Casey and I went to brunch with Julie and Adam and Julie’s friend from grad school, Kyle, and her husband. Kyle is someone that I have been hearing about for about 4 years and she is just as sweet as I thought she would be. Julie always said that she thought we would get along and we did. I love meeting sweet people- makes me happy.

We went to Lucy’s in Brookline, it is very good and had some vegetarian options for Kyle. We all chatted like we were old friends and had a good time. Julie and Adam were also sweet enough to treat us all- very generous of them!

After that, Casey and I hung out for a while at Julie & Adam’s because we were supposed to go home and do some stuff and we were procrastinating. Plus, I haven’t seen Julie in a while so we chatted about wedding stuff and we helped her pick out her wedding linen fabric. (pretty brown fabric with a cool sheen to it, with cream napkins- they are planning a rustic fall wedding at her family’s farm in NH. It is going to rock!!)

Oh! I never updated the Germany situation on here! Julie and Adam are definitely moving to Germany in a few months, as long as he passes his security clearance. gulp. It could be in 2 months or more than that, they are not sure. They are excited but are also a bit overwhelmed with all the details of a big move! They were cute and introducing themselves to us in German- they started German classes on Thursday.

Casey and I finally quit procrastinating and went home to be productive. I had a pounding headache from a nasty contact lens that was giving me trouble so I lay down for a nap. (haha- when I say productive, I mean Casey…)

I had the most disturbing dream involving my deceased grandmother- why is it that you dream the strangest things when napping? or is it just me?

Anyway, Casey was great and tidied up the apartment while I was snoozing on the job. We also wrote 11 thank- you notes from the party the other weekend. (Yes, I know they are pitifully late but better late than never, right?)

Now we are supposed to be researching at least 2 possible locations for our wedding. We really have to get visiting locations if we want to have it next summer. (if it is not already too late!) For those of you outside of the States, it is quite possible that next summer is mostly booked already. The American bridal industry is nuts, what can I say?!

And because I am sure you care, here is a list of things that we want for our location:
1. Somewhere not too far away from where we live. (no driving 4 hours there and back every weekend to plan- uh uh.)
2. We must be able to have a party into the night. We’d prefer having the ceremony around 5 or 6pm and then party party party until we just can’t party no more. (I am so surprised at how many places say you have to clear out by 10 or 11 pm- gah! what?!)
3. Natural beauty is a must. Not really a big fan of urban weddings- not really “us” Maybe something overlooking the ocean for a ceremony?
4. Must have one room that can accommodate our full wedding (about 150 guests- how on earth did that happen?!)
5. Full bar
6. Good food
7. Not too fancy-schmancy. No gold chairs or candelabra.

So, I better get doing my part before Casey realizes I am slacking off.

Wish me luck!!

(If anyone has any ideas of locations in the New England area, please let me know! We seriously need all the help we can get.)
