It's Official!

Well, it is official...we are getting married. The reason it is official is because last night we hired our officiant. Her name is Irene and she officiated at my friend Craig's wedding. When we met last night we just hit it off and decided to go with her. She gave us a list of ceremonies she has used in the past and told us to feel free to use one of those, do our own thing or combine a bit of everything. She is easy going and laughs a lot, which I like. I think we've made a great choice.

It is interesting because it feels more real to me now. Last night I said to Casey, "We're getting married!" and he said, "Umm, yeah", as if to say, "Duh, we've been getting married since I asked you on August 1st!" I guess it already felt real to him! : )

After Thanksgiving I am going to meet with my friend Ann who has done event/wedding planning because I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. She'll help me get organized and break things down into manageable tasks.

More later...I've had a busy day of working out, cleaning and getting Harley and Scooter groomed (they look even more handsome now) and need to shower to meet my cousin, Hope, for dinner. Have a great night!
