Catching up...

I know it's been a couple of days, and I'm sorry...work is busy this week, so I've been pretty tied up.

Not much is going on anyway. Jesse and I went and saw another location on Tuesday, and it's one that I love, but it poses some problems. Jesse is focussing on food costs, and is having a hard time listening to me when I ask him to stop it. (Since he's a chef, he simply can't stand seeing how much places are charging for items like prime rib or filets...) At a more expensive location, such as The Hotel Phillips, food is gonna cost more than it would at, say, the golf club we looked at over the weekend. Yeah, different quality product, I would imagine...so we need to accept that, and see if we can find a menu option that will give us the most "bang for the buck" so to speak. It's a really beautiful location, but we're still keeping an open mind, and trying to check out at least 3 or 4 more before we settle into one place as being the target location to go to my dad with.

I also spoke to the DJ company that most everyone recommends, and have an idea of how much that'll cost, so that's nice. Now I just need to see about a photographer, and I'll be right on track with giving a base budget to my dad to look over.

We're also meeting next Monday evening with a priest at a church I'm highly interested in having the ceremony at. They have the date and time available, but now we just need to see if we fit the other requirements they migt have for us. Cross your fingers for me! It's a really beautiful church...apparently, it has the longest center aisle in all of Missouri! Which is good, because I really like keeping people in suspense, and having a long walk down towards the altar will definitely help with that...

I'll be able to post more later, I think, but right now, work is calling yet again! Sorry for the short and crummy posts I've been putting up...it'll get better, I'm sure. Especially after I start looking at dresses in a couple of months! Yikes!!! :)
