First, as you may have noticed, below I posted a few of the NYC pictures...there are MANY more on facebook (FYI).
I feel like we have been productive and used our time off effectively (despite poor Brent being sick/congested most of the week)! We had our first cake tasting this week at an adorable place appropriately called 'The Cake Shop.' I think I know what style of cake I want (or am very close to knowing at least) and Brent found something he really liked as well for the Groom's cake. He's such a sweetheart, he still agreed to go to the tasting even though I scheduled it the exact time the Tech game started...we managed to get back in time to not watch the rest of the game. We did, however, get some much needed cleaning/organizing done. Brent really has no logic to where items are stored. For instance, the iron lives in the kitchen by the stove, the drill--in the cabinet above the stove, and my favorite--the halloween costume accessories are placed in misc. places throughout the house (i.e. the bathroom, kitchen). Oh! and he also started cleaning out his closet and getting rid of things he no longer wants/wears. Unfortunately, this didn't even put a dent in the closet space...we have a ways to go.
Though Brent fails to see the logic in registering, he humored me. On probably one of his sickest days, we went to Bed Bath & Beyond. The registration process was a little longer than anticipated, and all computers seemed to be running extremely slow. When we finally did get the 'gun' to start selecting items, it too was slow--this was something Brent thoroughly enjoyed. We were there about an hour, barely made it through the kitchen appliances etc., when he had finally had enough. He was a good sport though, so I wasn't going to hold him there against his will. There is no point in trying anything when he's: 1. not feeling good 2. irritated and most importantly 3. hungry.
Finally....I went dress shopping today!!! My mom, sister and maid of honor (Brooke) all went along for moral support and fashion consulting. It was SO FUN!! And, much to my surprise, I found some I liked!! Two, actually...so, now I have to determine which one I want and fast! I have to start alterations, well, like 4 weeks ago. It was so fun; I'm beyond excited now! Everything is finally starting to come together.
