Went up to Rochester, NY to visit Mark's family this past weekend. They are all really nice. We had a good time with everyone and it was nice to relax and not have to do anything for a few days. We received some wedding gifts and stuff for the baby. It is fun getting a few things already. I am in my 10th actual week of pregnancy and not showing any signs. I haven't gained any weight, but I attribute that to the fact that I am not working out and probably losing muscle mass. I just have no time, and in the evenings I am too tired. I am starting to feel a little better than before, so I am hoping that I can go to the gym sometimes and do the treadmill. I think the pre-natal vitamins help. After this week I will be down to only 2 jobs, which will free up a little more time. There is still a lot to do for the wedding, we need to plan the actual ceremony, order flowers, pick out tuxs, etc. I am looking forward to when it is all done, and we can go on vacation, which I will need.

WooHoo

I bought tickest for Mark and I to go to Italy for our honeymoon. We are only going for 10 days, but it is better than not going. We will go to Firenze for a few days and visit friends, then head south to Roma, and then to Amalfi, and then back up to Firenze. I have found some reasonably priced bed and breakfast places I think we'll stay at. So we'll have to start booking those places soon. I think I am more excited about the honeymoon than the wedding. But the wedding will be fun, and hopefully we'll get enough $$$ to pay for the honeymoon, and reimburse me for tickets. Really the money will just go into savings. But we can use $$ for spending and shopping, etc. I put new luggage on one of the registries, so hopefully we get it.

I've been too tired to blog lately or do much more than go to work. I am sleeping way more now that I'm pregnant, and feel like crap most of the time. Fun Fun. I have pretty much no energy to do anything. But I did manage to go shopping yesterday and get a wedding dress and pick out the bridesmaid dresses. So that is one less thing. Weddings are not cheap.
We still need to figure out the music for the wedding reception. Band or DJ. Bands cost more and it is better to find one who can play a lot of different music, or can learn music we want them to play. A DJ can play a cd from what ever genre we want, so that is also good. My mom wants some traditional italian songs played, and a band that can do it, but maybe we can find a recording and have the DJ play the same songs.
Hopefully I will be making alot of money this month so I can buy tickets to go to Italy for the honeymoon. Otherwise I may need and advance on the wedding money grandma is giving us to buy them. I just spent a shitload on the dress and accessories to go with it. And will be paying for the church. Well technically I have the money, but that money is from Dad and reserved for paying for the food at the wedding. Hopefully by the end of this week the invitations will be in so we can mail those next weekend. The invite list is up to 170 now, which the room we have reserved holds 150. Not everyone will come, and we may need to make some cuts to the list. Feeding that many people and that many people drinking, not cheap.
