Coming Soon To A Mailbox Near You!

(Good one Laura! LOL!) Well it finally happened. The wedding invitations have been dropped off at the post office. 66 days to the wedding and 71 invitations later.



And now without further delay, it is my honor to introduce you to the "Wedding Invitation Design Team":

Carmela (Mom)



Hailing from Long Island, Carmela (also the wedding planner) exhibited much patience when helping with the invitations. She quickly learned how to emboss the right way, my way. She is now a wiz with the heat gun!

Fred (fiance)



A Philadelphia native and also an exhibitor of extreme patience, Fred has become master of the paper cutter. He also learned to perfectly place stamps in the corner of the envelope.

Laura (awesomeness)



Laura did not lose her shit when things wouldn't work right. She kept it together for the both of us. Spending hours sitting at the counter she fed the envelopes through the printer one by one. Being full aware of my extreme anal retentiveness, she was sure to redo any that came out crooked. Laura is also honored to be invited to Batman's wedding.

I owe these 3 a lot. I cannot thank them enough for their help & patience in helping me make my wedding invitations a complete success! Love you guys!!

I finally got off my butt and did it! I am going to attempt to get my custom scrapbook business going again. I came up with a new name and look this time. I set up a myspace page for now until I see how well things take off. So far not much is posted, but hopefully I will get around to that this weekend. There is a baby book that I made for a co-worker.
Hopefully this will take off. Wish me luck!!

84 Days!!!!

So part of the reason for my lack of blogging is my pre-occupation with the fact that I AM GETTING MARRIED IN 84 DAYS!!! Yesterday I got the call that my wedding gown is in and it was like a smack in the face!! I was actually sitting in traffic on the Throgs Neck Bridge as a matter of fact. I was on my way to my mom's. We were going to do the flowers for the wedding.
So a few updates: I am about halfway there with the wedding invitations. That is one hell of a tedious job, but definitely worth it! The flowers were all ordered last night. They will look like this:



The flower girl's have their dresses.



A few peeks of the gown:





There is still an extremely long list of things left to do!!!

I love this!

It makes me happy. The end.

I can't, I really can't.

Needless to say, I am having a very Elmyra day. I left for work this morning and found some friends waiting outside for me...



And then I got to work and someone sent me this....



Needless to say, my mascara is running and I just want to go home and hug my cats. Give someone a hug today!

Have a great Friday!!

10 Minutes in Montague

7:50 p.m.

As I pass one of the farms on Clove Road, I notice a calf no bigger than a medium sized dog. It's such a sweet sign of life. Perky ears, little waggly tail. I swear it smiles at me as I slow down.

7:52 p.m.

I turn onto New Road to go into the back entrance of the country club. I slow down at the ranch on the right. In addition to their 2 full grown horses there are now 2 ponies. Their manes are still baby fuzz.

7:53 p.m.

I turn into the country club and notice a rainstorm about 20 feet ahead of me, although the sun is shining and my car is dry. As I continue to drive it rains on my car for about 30 seconds then stops. I look back in my mirror and see that is still raining behind me, but not on me. Sunshine, lots of sunshine.

7:55 p.m.

As I think to myself "Could this day get any more interesting?", I look to my left and see this.



I stop to take as many pictures as possible.

7:58 p.m.

I continue on down the road. When I get to the driving range I slow down as always not wanting this Elmyra dream to end. I look up and see a doe chasing after 2 fawns even smaller than the calf I saw minutes ago. I watch them run down the hill and disappear into the woods. I look up and see the rainbow again.

8:00 p.m.

I run into the house screaming "Fred, I am never leaving the country!!"
