162 days and counting!!

WOW, does time fly! I can't believe it is coming up so soon and there is still so much to be done!

We finally got a few things confirmed this week which is OHH SO EXCITING! The florist that I loved from the Bridal Show is booked and she is awesome. She is such a nice lady and we have all the confidence in the world in her that she is going to create some beautiful things.

The DJ is also ready to go. He has been to Pasadera many many times, so he knows how to have a good time and make this a fun event for all. I hope you all have your dancing shoes on!

We met with the videographer last night. And he and his wife are just great. We had thought we didn't want videography, then we won two hours and what a blessing. HOORRRAY FOR FREE THINGS!!They do some really cool videos and pictures and make a movie for us and he also said he would give us all the tapes (I love a good out take :D)

Still need to figure out who is marrying us, the cake and the invites. I was also thinking of a coffee bar. Do you all like coffee? We will have beer/wine/cocktails....don't you worry, but I don't really drink much and I love a good cup of fancy shmancy coffee. What do you think?? We aren't going to have a big sit down meal, it is going to be more of a cocktail party/reception. Where we get done with the ceremony, take a group pic (hopefully), then get the music going and start having a good time with you all. We will have heavy hors' dourves and desserts of all kinds. OK?? Let me know about the coffee, I don't want to be the only one with my iced nonfat caramel macchiato :D

Are you all ok with getting your hotels? Let me know if I can help?? August is a busy time of year and places get full fast. There are lots of Bed and Breakfasts, big hotels and small hotels around. If you are flying in you can fly into Monterey, but it is much more expensive. If you fly into San Jose it is about an hour drive from us or San Francisco is only an hour and a half. Usually you can get cheaper tickets and rent a car. When you get here, we will have lots of great things you all can do and places to go! You will love it out here and we can't wait to have you all come!

We love the beach!

We took Soph to the beach and had a blast! Here are a few pics:

Sophie in anticipation!! You can just about hear her say

"put the camara down AND DRIVE!!"

She will do almost anything for a treat.

She loves to play with her friends! (Sophie is the one giving the other dog a little nibble on their neck :D)

She does not like the water... yet!! If another dog goes out there, she will stop and just watch. Doesn't seem to like to get her paws wet :D

And she is done!! We always know when she is ready to go. She stops where ever the ball lands and tries to chew it or bury it. It is very cute :D

THE END

PUCKER UP!!

Don't you just love that nose!!! We just can't stop kissing on that mug of hers!! Can you see the crimping in her hair behind her ears... SOOO CUTE!!

Sophie is getting SOOO big we can hardly believe it! She is now BIGGER than the boxer across the street. It's so amazing to watch her grow up and become a real dog, not just our baby puppy anymore:D (WOW, listen to me.... I sound so crazy... just wait till we have kids... It's gonna get even mushier :D)

Wedding plans are coming along. We have still so much to do. The bakery that we were HOPING to use, I just found out had a big fire on Wednesday! YIPES!!!

We can't wait till you all are here!! Have a great week. We are off to the beach for some fun in the RAIN!!
