but i do not want to continue to think bad,sad,mad thoughts so instead i will go back to an entry before the one about Olive and talk about this previous weekend. i'll try to hit on most of the areas. not all of them- some have to wait.
1. cakes.
since changing the whole feel of the wedding from hugely ornate spectacle to intimate family orientated dinner, Greg and I were pretty adament about not having a cake. but my parents heard about a bakery that was big in Dallas and was operated by a woman who had had a bone marrow transplant. if you know me then you probably know that my mom also had a bone marrow transplant. so my mom was really eager to go to this bakery and meet this lady and get a cake. so the four of us: mom, paul, greg, and me (is that proper english?) all go to Panini Cakes. we end up tasting four flavours and picking three for our three-tiered cake.
biggest tier: white with white chocolate mousse and fresh raspberries. it was AMAZING.
second tier: chocolate with chocolate mousse.
last tier: chocolate with cappucino mousse.
the actual decoration of the cake is TBD, but we pretty much have an idea.
2. all four of us saw about a billion possible reception sites on Saturday. I was quite discouraged when each place we saw had something wrong with it (be it price or handicap accessibility) that made it impossible for our reception. Greg and I were quite overjoyed when we found out that the Park Cities Club could accomadate the size and the feel of our wedding perfectly. I would post a picture of it but the pictures don't do it justice...at all. Anyways. The room we're probably going to get has a great view (its up high) and a fake fireplace (a bummer, but it's still a fireplace which is what I wanted), and enough room for everyone of our guests.
3. on sunday we went to cox chapel to go look (again) at the chapel we're getting married in!!! and then we met Revs. Barbara and Walt Marcum for lunch at the Landmark Hotel. We then asked BOTH of them to marry us. They said yes. So we are getting married by two married ppl who Greg and I both adore!
4. Greg had his first band rehearsal of his old band Pherigo. It went wonderfully. He said he was really happy that the band could remember all of the old songs. It was a pleasure to watch him and them play!
5. skip for now.
6. At the Gap, I was told to try on jeans so I could tell the customers how they fit. All of the sizes I picked out (which I thought I was) were too baggy and too big. YESSSS. This means I really have lost weight and I am almost back to my old size, a 4. I think I'm lingering btwn 4-6 right now. I'm fine with both. It was good news to my ears. I had gained a considerable amount of weight my freshman yr of college (aka freshman 15) so it's nice to know that it's leaving.
7. we got to hold Amelia Hope Meinecke. Greg's friends Gary and Shannon had their daughter two Friday's ago. She is precious. Here are pictures!!!!
so with all of that being listed I do feel better when I think about the good things of this weekend. I should also mention that Greg and I had Magic Movie Night on Sunday. We rented "The Prestige" and "The Illusionist." It was nice.
