Happy Birthday Mom! 

its raining its pouring....

i find it hard to believe that my time in boston has finally come to an end. this is my last week! and i have so many things to do. besides the fact that i have weddings on the brain i now have to get my butt in gear to find a new apartment for mjk and i to live in, move all of our stuff out of storage and get back to working! after all the months of being a lady of leisure...september is going to be jam packed! to be honest, i am ready to be super busy! this last month has almost been torturous because i have been so limited in making any real decisions. september is going to be a challenge and extremely exciting!

mjk and i have tried to compile a list of our favorite parts of boston but i think that we are so homesick that it was difficult to make an unbiased list, but here are the things i remember most fondly.

1. the museum of fine arts
2. antonio's restaurant
3. j. pace- the italian grocer just around the block (those people are soooo nice!)
4. our roadtrip around new england..for obvious reasons:)
5. lunchtime with mjk
6. the public gardens
7. post office park (they actually pass out seat cushions to people having lunch there!)

i guess that is about all i can come up with right now....and you could say that i didn't really give boston the best chance...but it really is hard to beat that windy city!

i am standing in the kitchen as i type this, we just got a wireless connection installed, trying to decide what to make for dinner tonite. i have really been slacking on my duties these last couple of weeks. i am so consumed with trying to plan the perfect affordable wedding that i find it hard to think about anything else. instead of leisurely strolls around the city after lunch with mjk i find myself scurrying home to check my email for any news. i anxiously await my automatic gmail notification pop-ups telling me someone new has responded to one of my gazillion inquires about price and location and availability! i have chained myself to that damn desk....but now i am mobile...watch out! i finally did some laundry today as i felt horrible when mjk didnt have any clean undershirts to wear and tomorrow there will probably be no cereal for his breakfast...i am really going to have to get my head out of my you know what! the part that is hard to swallow is that although i feel like i have done a ton of research i dont really have any solid ideas or leads yet and everyday our minds change about where, when, who, what and why!
