(I started this post last week sometime....as you can see I never got it posted :)

Last weekend Dan & I had our bachelor/bachelorette parties (separate of course!). Dan went go-karting w/ the guys at Sugar River Raceway in Brodhead, WI. I went down to my cousin Shannon's and had an evening in w/ the girls and watched (some) of Sex and the City. It was a perfect night...exaclty what I needed/wanted! I lost my ability to bar hop several years ago, so sitting around Gormley Pub, sipping champagne and munching appetizers made for a great evening. Being the wonderful people that they are, Shannon & Michelle & my Aunt Sue (and Ann!) created a table full of yummy finger foods. Michelle had a photobook made for me w/ pictures from the shower and I got the cutest luggage tags and the movie, Sex and the City (which I'll have to watch again!). I'm getting together w/ two of my bridesmaids next (this) weekend for dinner & a few drinks...which I'm really looking forward to because I haven't seen either of them in what feels like months!

I'm still working on finishing up the programs & pew decorations. When I go down the 19th for my hair/makeup trial I hope to have it all finished & be able to take everything w/ me. Friday was our RSVP cutoff off, and I think we've received about 95% of them. We'll probably wait another week and then start working on the seating chart (UGH!)

Otherwise, things are moving along quite smoothly. Mom & Dad are going to drive up to Madison and stay w/ Dan & I for 2 nights before heading down to Illinois for the wedding. I'm super excited about that! The last time mom was in Wisconsin was back in 2003 when she brought me furniture and most of my possessions :) and Dad has never been up here to visit!
