The Bells Are Ringing

We had already booked the venue for both the wedding and the party here in the US; a restaurant in Grayslake run by a Greek family. The wedding planner there, George, is a bit intense. Several times we have had to remind him that we are planning a modest event for 40 people not the usual American event of over 300!

They have a really nice garden, with lights, gazebos, etc for the pictures, and we have booked a 4 hour inclusive bar, so if you are coming, make sure you maximise it. We went there a couple of weeks ago to try out the food and it was fabulous, that alone pretty much sold it for us.

This week, we have bought the license, a very simple process, especially when compared to the UK and Lorraine's experiences back in September, we have chosen a cake (not telling what it is yet), been to see the florist, booked the minister, one Reverend Patty, who used to be a bar tender, and chosen gifts for our registry!

According to the Crate & Barrel Gift Registry website, we only have 41 days to go!

I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
