Hotel & Save-the-Dates!

hey y'all! (that's right, jason's writing this!)

megan's been hard at work getting things set up. she's blocking off some rooms at the hotel preston, so by the time you read this, you should be able to reserve your room. it looks like a really nice hotel, and very convenient for those flying in. there aren't any hotels near the wedding site, and this one puts you in proximity to orpyland (grand ole opry, opry mills, and a host of other touristy things).

we also went out and shot some photos for our save the dates. it was a gorgeous day today, and we really enjoyed it. you should be getting those in the mail by mid-february. we also drove around a park where we're hoping to have our rehearsal dinner bar-b-que to scout out which shelter we liked best. the one we're hoping to get is close to a playground and a creek, and the restrooms aren't too far either.

other than that, not much is going on. i made another huge connection to the music biz, so i'm excited to see where all this will go. i'm not the best at networking, but hopefully i can figure it out and give this music thing a chance.

we'll keep you updated, hope you had a great weekend!

5 months

5 months... that sounds so far away, yet so close at the same time. i'm excited, i'm nervous, i'm... ready.

i've adopted a slogan to guide me in the next few months:

babe, it's our marriage, but it's your wedding.

that makes things so much easier. i'm glad megan is so into this planning stuff and enjoys picking out colors and cakes and all the other little pointless things that guys never think about. planning the honeymoon, now that's my kind of planning!

her parents have been gracious enough to give us a week of their timeshare time, and so we've decided to use it in maine. we're going to fly into boston, get some sort of detroit-made rent-a-car, and trek up to bethel, me. we're staying at a resort that has all kinds of things to do. on my list of must-dos are:

1. whitewater canoeing
2. horseback riding
3. hiking
4. boat tour at acadia national park
5. couple's massage at the resort spa

i'm sure there will be some dining on fresh lobster and looking in every "cute" shop as well. lots of photos will be taken. we're also going to spend a couple of days in boston, and (if at all possible) catch a red sox game. the problem is, they've been sold out for who knows how long and i'll have to buy tickets on ebay or something.

anyway, this is our blog so leave a comment or 2 to let us know someone's reading it. i'm off to work on my day off.

New Website...

Hello to everyone!
Jason (with my help) just created a website for us, and he told me that I HAD to blog if he was going to make it. So, this is my first blog...with more to come.

I'm pretty excited about the website, it helps to make things even more official! :) We'll try to keep it updated as things continue to get planned. As of Monday we will be 5 months away...craziness!!! :)

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and you'll hear from us soon!!
Megan
