2 years!

It's our second anniversary! Yay! We spent the weekend enjoying the hot weather by taking in a movie, going out for ice cream, swimming in the Washougal river, and then hiking Silver Star Mountain. Tonight we'll enjoy a lovely dinner at Montage and scramble around Portland. I'm craving macaroni and cheese or maybe I'll go with jambalaya or gumbo. We'll see how the mood strikes later this evening. Did I ever mention here on this blog that we wanted Montage to cater our wedding, but due to their (new at the time) weekend brunch service, we wouldn't have been able to secure food service for our Saturday reception. Big sad face ---> : ( Ordering the food a day early and reheating it also would not have been an option.

Anywho, we were quite happy with our self/group catered soiree. Here's a little diddy from the reception, showing off our photo wreath which was put together by my Aunt Sue. She's a crafting genius!

Embarrassing childhood photos FTW! Photo courtesy of my Mom.

92 days

Whoa... The number is getting smaller and smaller! We've officially entered the double digit zone, and with a busy summer on the horizon, I'm hoping we can accomplish all our tasks on the to-do list. It's been a stressful week in the land of Cara and Andrew; so much that we haven't had the energy or time to focus on anything wedding related. We did find out that our first choice catering option became a bust (Montage doesn't cater on weekends & apparently, their food doesn't hold up well). So, back to square one. We know of a family friend who caters, and a ton of family members who have offered to prepare food. Our worry is that our family members would be missing out on the festivities, but then again, so much can be prepared in the days before the wedding. Plus, free help is free help! The cost of food would also be quite reasonable, and we can create the menu on our own. Decisions, decisions...

Andrew and I are also celebrating our one year anniversary today. I think a home cooked meal is in order, and then we'll be checking out a local cover band later this evening. I'm excited for the 3 day weekend! I need to relieve some major stress. Anyway, hopefully I can squeeze updates in more frequently now that things have calmed down for the moment.
