I am so behind in blogging, so here is my attempt at catching up and bringing everyone up to speed.
October 26-28 my parents came for a quick whirlwind trip.
Saturday we went to the Corning Museum of Glass, which I highly recommend!

I think this was my favorite piece. This dress is made entirely of glass. I can only imagine how heavy it is.

This wall was beautiful, but unfortunately doesn't photograph well.

Sunday my parents helped with house projects, and then we went to Ollie's Bargain Outlet (yes, my parents junk shop on vacation!) and then to dinner at Sherri's. The proposal happened after that, so my parents got to sort of be around when it happened (they weren't at my house, but I got to tell them about it in person). It was great to have them here, even if it was such a short time and I put them to work!
The weekend before that was a beautiful 80 degrees, so Bryan got to pick apples for the first time EVER! Shorts in mid-October is so strange, but it was so nice to enjoy the sun. We also picked fall raspberries. We're definitely going to miss the fruit farm so close to our house.

Finally there is happy house news. We've passed the inspection phase, after much arguing back and forth, and the bank appraised the house just fine. As long as her mortgage goes through, we'll be moving in about a month! Waahoo! Now we're apartment hunting. Man is there a lot of crap out there!
Braces are on my mind, since I just went for an appointment today. I'm now all rubber banded up, but my ortho is thrilled with my progress. He made such a fuss about it that all of the assistants had to come over and see my "before" pictures. He thinks I'll be done in time for the wedding...a full 7-12 months ahead of schedule! Yes!
Wedding plans are in the beginning stages, and we're actually both enjoying figuring out what we want to do. Plans for now are a small ceremony in Vegas in May, and a "reception" in Portland in June. Thanks for all of the happy comments from everyone. We are both so excited!

Nice to know you've set a date. I haven't gotten a hold of my brother for so long & I was wondering. Well, if you need a ring bearer- maybe Sebastian will be walking by then?
Hee hee! I am glad it's not in NY as I am already so nervous about our flight to FL with the baby on our laps- yikes! Congrats again!
tia, no worries. i understand completely.
i hope i didn't blow anything (sorry!)
oooh I love glass. Is that a silly thing to say? Well I would love to go to the glass museum.
Congrats on the engagement! You should totally go to the Grand Canyon. I went about 10 years ago and it is breathtaking. Please take some wedding pictures there--they would be amazing!
