hey, we have a wedding venue!

Praise tiny baby Jesus. I mean, really. Praise His little baby self.

We're getting married 08.08.09.

Here, where we met:


And then we're having the reception nearby, where they let you bring outside food. And booze. And Christmas trees, apparently.


Finally. FINALLY! No, it's not the little chapel but I really wanted to get married at HMNS and finally found a way to make it work where we can have both a location and food. And, no, it's not the Houston Garden Center but they wouldn't let us have booze. Or get married until Halloween. And that reception hall is a nice blank slate on this campus, where the streets look like this:

Oh, it will be BEAUTIFUL! And how romantic to get married in the very place you met!

That would have had me and Hubby getting married in a country western bar. Not pretty.

I'm so happy for you - it's going to be heavenly!

Very cool, looks superb!

Bubba and I met at a wedding, so I guess, in a sense, we DID get married where we met! Just the location was different. ;)

Perfect! See, I told you it would all work out!! And, so sentimental, I love that. I don't know if I would use that Christmas tree though.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
