day 13 -Fool Perspective
wasn’t sure what this theme was supposed to be.. so you get a random cat photo at the Eastern State Penitentiary
day 14- On the Floor
This tree was growing across the floor of the old prison cell.
If you are ever in Philadelphia, I say you MUST go to Eastern State Penitentiary. It was one of the coolest attractions we’ve been to, and you could easily spend all day in there!

Wedding Bonanza
August 16, 2011 at 6:54 am (Get to Know Me, Wedding)
With just FOUR days until the wedding, I’m a mess. I can’t sleep and I’ve definitely gotten lost in wedding brain. Our guests will start arriving on Thursday and luckily we have enough space to put up 12 people (the joys of living in a huge building vacant in the summer/early fall!) It is going to be a huge wedding sleep over and I can’t wait. I’m going to see some friends that I haven’t seen in 6+years! My hubby’s best friend is flying up from Florida and she’s never flown anywhere! Both of my parents are flying in and other miscellaneous guests. I am so excited!
I can fit into my wedding dress again which makes me super happy. I was very stressed about that stupid weight I gained over the last month. I now look gorgeous in it and all is right in the world again. We have every detail planned out.. on paper mostly. That’s what the rehearsal is for, right? To be sure that we’ve thought of every little thing! Last night I was suddenly thinking of little things that I wanted to do to dress up the reception tables and voila in 5 minutes we had a plan that costs $2. Oh, we are so snazzy!
I will be sure to post tons of pictures after folks leave – around Sunday/Monday probably.
Upcoming events of excitement:
Aug 26th post-miscarriage/ HSG consult
Aug 29th classes start for me ( I’m going back to college to finish the degree I started 10yrs ago)
Aug 29th C starts a new job with a British company. He’ll be going to the UK for training. (I’m jealous)
September have HSG test
December potentially start baby making again
