Where are you Mr. Sun?

Rain, rain go away!  Give us some sunshine to brighten the days!

....This gloomy weather is seriously robbing me of my motivation to be productive.  We have a ton of little projects going at home but we've totally been slacking on them for the last week (blaming the rain...since it's literally been raining everyday we've been home).  One thing we did accomplish is the wedding invitations!  We were just too excited to wait any long and decided to drop them in the mail a couple days for before our 8 week mark. YAY!!  I really spent a lot of time on those babies so it's been really fun to hear/see people's feedback. Plus, it's like Christmas in our mailbox....everyday. We love getting the RSVP's in the mail, especially when they have fun little notes from you guys!! :)

Last weekend my aunts put on a beauitful shower in my honor.  I was truly in awe of the creativity that went into everything -- it was so fun to celebrate with both sides of my family.  Of course, we also got to see all sorts of family on Easter Sunday which is always a good time.  Kurt worked on Saturday but made it back to WL in time for the Easter service which was really nice.  We also enjoyed brunch with my Dad's side of the fam, an egg hunt a la my parents (yes, they still hide eggs even though we're 24 and 14) and then a big Easter bash at G'ma & G'ma Simon's complete with tacos, kites and more egg hunting!  The jam-packed day slowed us down a little and we didn't make it back home until after 11pm which probably didn't help with the lack-of-motivation we've been fighting this week! ha!

Due to the astounding generosity of our family and friends we now have a basement full of shower gifts that need to find a permanent place!  This is really fun "problem" to have but I need to focus some time on rearranging the cupboards and closets to find these beauties a home! :)  We've been getting all sorts of advice on this sort of thing lately... advice to wait until the wedding to break out the gifts, advice to dive in and enjoy them, advice about the items that will hold up and the ones to use with caution...and the list goes on.  We're pumped about it all -- but more than anything we're just loving it that our family and friends are sharing our joy at this exciting time in our lives! 

Alright.... a little less talk, a lot more action.  Time to get something done!
