March Wedding Update

We have covered quite a bit more on the wedding planning since I last checked in a month ago!

We're still trying to find a florist but I think we're pretty confident with one.  We met with two in person when we were in Detroit last month and we had a morning conference call with another florist.  Thankfully  most vendors are willing to call us right when they open (eastern time) which is before we go to work (mountain time).  That makes it so  much easier for Matt and I to both sit down and hear what the vendors have to say.

We have the rehearsal dinner taken care of which is actually in the same building as one of the hotels.  It's the restaurant Matt and I went to when we first starting dating. As in that was our first date.   We had been to dinners / dates together before but once I got back from spending the semester in Austria, Matt came to Detroit and we went out to a nice Italian dinner that night.  We love that the rehearsal dinner venue has a special meaning to us!

I'm still trying to figure out hair, but I've been in contact with a few salons so that is also a work in progress.  Same with transportation.  Which is a pain to guess how many people will be coming to the wedding and then how many will be using the transportation!

Wedding seasons starts in 2 weeks for us when we head to Charlotte for our friends wedding.  The next 8 months are going to be pretty insane.  Thinking about my schedule makes my head hurt!

April - SLC for work; Charlotte for wedding; Portland for work; Detroit for the weekend; Memphis for work
May - Omaha for work; NYC for wedding
June - Miami Beach for Bachelorette party (mine!); Cincinnati for wedding
July - Wisconsin for wedding

Then it's done to the last few weeks before our wedding!!

Spring in Salt Lake City

I've been in Salt Lake City since yesterday morning for work. I just love this city! The views are unbelievable - we are only 30 minutes or so from Park City and the ski resorts. So tempting to go skiing!

I went to whole foods for dinner last night (can't believe I'm turning into that person) and had my first San Pellegrino lemon flavor. It was the best! I love sparkling water and adding lemon to it made it is much better!

Tomorrow the high is almost 70 in Denver and Salt Lake... I'm so over winter and ready for spring!

3 time zones

The past three weeks have been crazy busy! I was in Chicago for bridesmaids dress shopping three weekends ago then I flew to Omaha for work. We drove to Cedar Rapids for the day while we were there to tour an internal paper mill which was seriously fascinating! It doesn't sound very exciting but I loved learning how recyclables turn into a brown cardboard box. So nerdy.

Then I went to Detroit for a 6 days. Eric and Orchid had their engagement party thrown by my aunts. It was so cute! They did such a great job. They had a bunch of appetizers from our favorite Lebanese restaurant in the area. Middle eastern food is my favorite!

We were delayed getting out of Detroit because Denver was getting a bunch of snow. We stayed home an extra night and ended up arriving 15 hours after we ere scheduled too.

The day after we arrived back in Denver I flew to Phoenix for work! I was completely exhausted but I loved the 75 degree weather and sunshine!

This weekend Matt's high school friend was in town so we went to Winter Park yesterday. I love that we can wake up at home and be skiing 2 hours later. Still seems crazy :)

It has been a crazy 3 weeks but it was so nice to see my family and friends!
