I've sort of dropped the ball about updating lately. I want to say it's because I've been busy, but recently i really haven't been all that busy. My brother is back here, and we've all been getting along pretty well, but having another person in the house again is naturally some added stress. He's considering moving out, which may ultimately for the best, but I feel bad about since it's mostly because we haven't been able to provide him with a reasonable place to be. He's been in our living room for about 6 months now, which would be tiresome for anyone I think. We really had planned to have more space for him, but time/money and space have all been keeping us from being able to get things together.
Otherwise things have been pretty quiet here. We've been a lot less productive in the last few days, but I think we sort of needed a break after cramming so much into such a short space of time. The only problem is that now because we spent so many days doing things, a normal day full of mediocre events and mundane tasks feels like we've done absolutely nothing at all. I'm hoping to get over that a little bit. I think we need to be doing more than we've been doing the last few days, but don't need to over do it like we have been.
I hoping to hit up some thrift store presidents days sales tomorrow. We really don't need more stuff in the house, but I have some specific items on I'm on the lookout for, we recently went through the stuff we've amassed for our wedding so far and we still need some silver picture frames, cut glass bowls and vases. We're having a vintage themed sort of shabby chic wedding, so the table decor I wasn't able to get from my Grandma's china cabinet is being mostly thrifted. One of the perks of having a long engagement is that I've been able to slowly amass all sorts of little treasures without having to pay through the nose for them. Here's a crappy picture from when we had it all out to count and catalog:
( Some of our wedding crap so far )
We're meeting with the wedding coordinators of our proposed venues in a few weeks, I'm both nervous and excited. Both have said they probably can't accommodate us for this year, for the dates were looking for, but we have some wiggle room so we'll see what's going to happen.
