What a Summer

We closed on the house July 10th! The entire renovation process is taking much longer than anticipated. We'll move in by Aug. 15th with a 1/4 of a kitchen, and probably 1 livable bedroom and bathroom. Berto has been working so hard doing landscaping, ripping up carpet, and tearing out the old kitchen cabinets and counter tops among other demo work. I'm finally on vacation starting Friday until next Thursday to help strip wallpaper, paint, and pack to move. It will be so exciting when it's all completed, but it's just such a hassle and headache right now. And now that the contractor's have won the business, they are slow to return my phone calls and get anything started...
Wedding plans are coming along slowly but surely. We have the place, the caterer, the church (hopefully, we meet w/ the Priest on Saturday), the videographer, the photographer, a coach bus for the bridal party and to shuttle guests to/from the hotel, a photo booth for the favors (which I am super excited about!), and my dress!
