more than 2 months of catch-up!

In the midst of our wedding-planning, I forgot I have a blog. Anyway, spring has sprung and so have lots of projects!

Yesterday I planted watermelon with T’s family & some friends of theirs. We went up to Susan & Eddie’s barn and rocked out to some country music and planted something like 250 trays of different varieties.  I don’t know how many pallets that was, but it was a lot. I also got a ring off my right hand that had been stuck for a few days (and swollen) with tractor engine grease. Go figure.

Wedding-wise, we have finished a 3-day project of registering for all sorts of fun stuff. I got a real sense for Trapper’s fun decorative taste, which I love!  We also ordered a really awesome fondant cake, via Ace of Cakes style, from a local pasty chef. (Thanks mom & dad!) The next projects will be hand-made table centerpieces (which will probably involve some green-thumbing by me and Jenny) and Trapper and I will be creating play-lists for the reception.

In a few weeks I’d like to plant the yard at our new place.  I want to spruce up the front yard with some shrubs as a background and then some flower and herb beds out front.  The backyard will probably get a vegetable garden.  But first, the important stuff: need the landlord to bring some topsoil.

So between finishing taxes, registering my car in another state, holding on to my furlough-happy job, and planting things… we are having a fabulous time planning the wedding!  And on Wednesday, I’m going to play violin with someone from work and see how we play together. She is looking for a partner to do wedding music, so I may wind up having a side job for a local wedding coordinator if we like playing together.

Happy Spring  )
