Time flies

Wow 11 already ...
Hehe its been a while since I've posted.  Happy New Year!
A lot has happened, Jeni has caught you up with a lot of it.

However, big news!  We have a venue!  and more importantly a date!
Were are having the wedding and the reception in the Monona Terrace in Madison, Wisconsin.  (Link to the right ===>)  Were in the Community Terrace, check out the 360 degree tour through the link.
Save the date for Saturday, Nov. 6th.  I'm  excited about this place, its a really cool building with an amazing view.
The venue selection was a bit of ordeal though.  The running theme throughout all this planning is that neither Jeni or I are at all decisive. We have to continuously help each other out when were having issues making a decision.  We ended up breaking out the trusty pro / con list to compare a few venues.  Then we broke it down to categories and figured out what was most important to us and which venue was the best in each of these categories.  It took a lot of work and a bit of a leap of faith to get it booked but its done (well when we sign the contract I have in front of me).  The leap of faith came because we were intending to visit it last weekend in Madison but it was closed for maintenance ... surprise!   I think it will work out alright.

We decided a few other things including some tentative colors:  White, Black, Red, and maybe a splash of Yellow.  I kinda just made this decision, let me know in the comments if this is weird because I have no idea about this sort of thing.
Speaking of reader interaction, check out the poll I have to the bottom right.  I want more votes, and comments!  Let us know you are here; what is interesting and what isn't.  Its nice to see whos on here.

Last bit: we also have a workout plan, three days a week, Sunday, Wednesday, Friday.  We gotta get down to our fightin' wedding weights.
303 days and counting!

  1. Yay! A location! If you want, Shannon and I (Becky) are willing to venture over there and check it out. I saw on the Terrace's website that they have event planners as well.
