Moving On...

Well, it's November! Grant and I have less than 7 months til "I Do" and I have to say that everyone was correct: once you slip below the double digits, the months begin to fly by!

As you probably read in Grant's last post, I've moved to Northern California. :) So far I have no major complaints... obviously I miss my family very, very, VERY much, but as long as I keep myself busy I keep the sadness away. I've already been able to spend quite a bit of time with my honey and we have plans with some of his friends this weekend. I still have not found a job but I'm devoting a lot of time to searching and submitting resume after resume. I know that everything will happen when it is supposed to happen so I am not stressed out just yet.

I got all settled in at my cousin Greg's house. He was incredibly kind in offering me a temporary home until Grant and I move in together after the wedding. Everything fits nicely and I think I am handling the weather well so far... okay, so it's been in the 70s every day since I arrived but the nights have been COLD! I think once I add another sweater or two to my wardrobe, I'll be in good shape for winter and the real NorCal weather.

In more wedding-related news, I think I found some more decor for the reception over the weekend! Grant and I had the honor of filming a friend's wedding in Orange County last Saturday (yes, that was Halloween) and had an absolute blast! Since it was a holiday, they got into the spirit just a little bit by taking some fun photos with vampire teeth and inviting guests to show up in costumes etc. (no, these aren't the decor I am talking about!) Everyone had an awesome sense of humor and were great sports when Grant or I asked them to do something strange or funny. I spent more time laughing than filming -but don't worry, Grant had that all wrapped up (like a mummy -get it?!!? Halloween joke! Hah!)

Coming back to my point: Jennifer had some beautiful glass jars that I took a fancy to (I refrained from stealing them thank goodness!) and she is going to let me have my pick of them! Fabulous news considering that that has been one of the more difficult items to procure at a reasonable price. In addition to that, Grant and I got to taste some foods that we are considering having at our wedding and gauge how well they went over with the guests. All in all, we had a fabulous time! I hope we can book some more weddings soon... I miss them already! Maybe I can get a job someplace fancy and be a wedding coordinator's assistant! There is a certain appeal you know.

Well, that's it for now... I've got to go get ready -it's dinner date night with my Grant! Hooray! Much love to everybody!!
