Registry

We do not currently have a registry in place. It has been undetermined where and if we will have one. We originally thought that because so many are travelling from far away that them coming would be the greatest gift we could receive. Some however insist upon a more tangible gift. I personally would love a big city slider grill or perhaps a snuggie (google those for laughs). But seriously a homemaid gift, or a small gift from the heart would be awesome.
As to my previous post about hotels, I know some are chomping at the bit about booking places to stay and I hope to travel to a few local hotels this week for rates and overall awesomeness.
Have a good week and hope everyone stays warm.

Books

I'm sure it won't surprise anyone to know that we are avid readers. I think we both really appreciate science fiction and horror fantasy. One book by an author I adore has recently been made into a movie. A bit of a kids movie, if you're the sort of parent who wants their kids to not be able to sleep at night. Well, at least that's the sort of book the movie's based on.

Coraline's got a little horror fantasy, a little creepy crafty, and features a little girl...

ugh... gotta finish this later.

Wedding Update

We went downtown and reserved Mt Tabor from 10 am - 12 pm on May 23. It feels good to have yet another piece of the puzzle locked down. My next main project is to do more research on hotels for those visiting. I would strongly suggest that people get a hotel on the east side, it makes travel for all easier and it will most likely be cheaper. Although I have never stayed there I hear that the Jupiter Hotel is a good place to stay. It tends to be a little more expensive but it is "Hip". Still more research to come, I will eventually post what hotels are good and their strengths and weaknesses. Another idea I thought of was perhaps if people want to rent a house or apartment for however long they will be staying in town, it might be more cost effective and a good time as well.
Andy

Rings

I think we're going to order them from ballandchain on etsy. We sized ourselves per instructions on the internet. I'm a 9, and Andy's a 12. I think we might double check our results with a "real" sizing at a "real" jewelry store. The only thing is, I don't want to waste a local jewelry store's time, and I don't want to get hassled by one of those chain jewelers' sales people. Hmmm...

Andy and I really like those silver knotty pine rings. I hope you do too, but it's ok if you don't :)
