School Days
I am wrapping up all of the loose ends here at the end of the semester at UH and marveling at the passage of time. Things seem to move at lightning pace these days. I have a group project due tomorrow, a final on Thursday, and a paper and a final on Monday. But after that I can take a deep breath and relax for the holidays. I'm looking forward to some quality reading time and a chance to map out a timeline for all of the wedding bits. I'm much better about planning when I have the big picture in front of me.
Despite the busy schedule post-Thanksgiving, we are making a little progress on the wedding plans. Jeff and I have designed the basics for the invitations and save-the-date cards. Both of us enjoy the basics of design, so we decided to do them ourselves. The big project for the holidays will be assembling the possible guest list and compiling addresses.
I went with Mom a few weeks ago to look at the Italian Cultural and Community center as a possibility for the reception. It is a nice old house in Montrose near the Museum District and between my parents' house and Jeff's parents' house. As soon as school is out, Mom and I will sit down and just go over the budget, but I think that it is a really good choice. The location is great and the people there seem very nice and easy to work with.
To all of our friends and family traveling to Texas over the holidays: please give us a call or send an email. We want to see you!
Just a note about the previous posts. Blogger changed the way that we sign in to post to this blog. Now it shows up as Zoe or Jeff as the author of a post, but any entries prior to the new format show up as Jeff since he originally set up the blog.
