As I was pondering posting over the last couple of days, I found myself wishing to share so many thoughts with you! Most of them are lost now, of course, but a few have hung in there and I hope you're ready.
I spent the majority of my morning today rummaging through wedding websites and generally wishing that I were able to include so many more details than humanly possible for one wedding. We can't have beverages sitting in a wheelbarrow and an antique bathtub. Over the top. Instead I think we'll just have them....at the bar....
Sigh. It's a whole 'nother ballgame I have yet to enter- so far I've only compiled decoration ideas and tucked them away, feeling better that I'm doing a little something but not really committing to anything.
On the home-search homefront, Kenny and I looked at a place on Monday. Yes, it's a bit early, but I seem to be unable to avoid looking at rental ads in the paper...so I saw one that claimed to be "GORGEOUS" and mostly remodeled for a reasonable price in our area, so we had to see it.
Of COURSE they were lying.
I have two words for you: wet bar.
That's right- a very 70's place, with orange linoleum and formica countertops, complete with a wet bar right alongside the dining room. Well, really just a little sink and counter, which made it look worse than a legit wet bar that you see nowadays.
The best part? Walking in and Kenny asking, "So what should we be looking for?" and Nora says, "Well, not the dead squirrell on the balcony. Don't worry, I'll get rid of it."
Awesome.
It really wasn't horrible, but the pros and cons pretty much cancelled each other out and Kenny and I agreed that "that's not our place." However, it was pretty neat to check one out. The moment escaped us at the time, since we got lost on the way and I was distracted by having to pee the whole time, but later we revelled in the fact that we had looked at a place together. First time I'd ever looked at an apartment with a boy, that's for sure.
I did see this place is available and think it just screams "The Soldanos." Whaddya think?

Maybe we'll keep looking... ;)
Wow, the reality is constantly getting clearer and clearer about you two getting married! Out looking for the future residence of the Soldano's....has a nice "ring" to it. Let David know of any house addresses so he can super sleuth them out with his magic information source :-) Be ever soooo careful, daughter dear, related to using Craigslist now with the recent events that were so horrific. Keep up the search, though, cause God has just the right house out there for Mr. & Mrs. Kenny Soldano
