Where does the time go?

It's been a month...lot's has happened, and then again, not a lot has happened.

It's mostly been research. Researching photographers, photo booth companies, still looking for the perfect ceremony spot (which is becoming one elusive beast!). But we did make some progress yesterday. We met with the officiant we will be using, Toni Maddi. She was so great. I felt totally on the the same page as her and I'm really looking forward to her performing our ceremony. We also went and visited our reception venue last night as they were setting up for a reception. The main purpose was to see where they set up the photo booth, but it turned into a great opportunity to take Sean's Mom and her boyfriend Ted on a tour of the venue and then they treated us to a delicious Tapas dinner! The place looked great all set up and the location of the photo booth is prime. We'll definitely be using that as our favors and guest book.

All in all I felt pretty accomplished yesterday!

My Mom is going to look into us possible having the ceremony at Indian Lakes, where she works. Toni has performed ceremonies there before and suggested it. I never even considered it before, but at this point...I'm going to try to exhaust all resources.

The search for the photographer continues. There are so many great photogs in Chicago, I didn't know it was going to be this hard of a choice! I just hope that by the time we choose to meet with someone they are still available!

I can't believe it's already mid-September. Next month we will have been engaged for a year. This makes me nervous and also makes me wonder what the heck I've been doing for the last 11 months!!!

In order to make myself feel better, I'm going to watch the Coco Channel movie on Lifetime and eat some Toblerone.
