catching up

Feeling refreshed after this weekend. I think everyone had a good time. It was relaxing and it's so fun to watch the kids have fun.

Currently sittin' on the dock (of the river). Got a fishing pole in the water and FF's classic rock playlist going upstairs. The cat is inside having a delicious snack and the dog is wandering around in the yard.

I have a weekend ahead of me with no plans and four magazines came in the mail today. It's going to be so good.

This week the contractors came by to prepare bids to raise the house. Things are moving along! I have a feeling that whole process is going to be a wild ride.

We need to start planning this engagement party in a couple of weeks. The plan is to cater, hire cleaners, and take the major burdens off of us. What were we thinking inviting 36 family members to the river? 
We are slowly realizing that we can't have huge crowds out here. Everyone needs to be fed and that adds$ up quick. We have 1 bathroom. At some point a line develops and you run out of hot water. Plus all those bedsheets have to be washed and we have a smaller than average washer and dryer and a really old septic system. In a stroke of genius I remembered the laundromat around the corner and I think that's going to be a game changer. We will always be hosting people out here, and I think after a year we're starting to get smarter about it.

Wedding plans are also coming along. I was a little nervous but I fit into my dress perfectly. All it needs is the straps taken up a little and maybe the bottom hem taken up. I plan to add some bling to it, too. It's SO pretty and I love it.
We're having fun planning the random little details and I think it's going to be a great party.
