Carpet removal and dead bodies behind walls

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We took possession at closing (the REO seller didn’t even show up for the signing) and went to work two days later. The first action I took was to buy a dehumidifier.The humidity was 75% when we took possession. We have had the rainiest summer in close to 50 years in Indiana, so we were [...]

I’d rather do a funeral than a wedding

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

If only people spent as much time considering who they are marrying as they do choosing the hors-d’oeuvre at the reception, maybe more marriages would be successful.
In Rebecca Mead’s book, The Perfect Day, Mead focuses on the consumerism that has taken over the American wedding. She says that one clergy she interviewed said that [...]

Whadya say? Our wedding vows

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

After our ceremony, someone asked me for a clarification of one part of our wedding covenants, so I thought I would post my vow for you to read (or use if you are in that season of life).
Stephen’s Vow
In the presence of God, our family and friends, I, Stephen, take you, Rachel, to be my [...]

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

So everyone is wondering about our wedding pictures. I have them. I have had them for over a week actually. I just been getting in from work in the morning (yes, I did say “in” from work). So the wedding photos and thank you notes and photographs of Ireland have been put on hold. It [...]

Wedding errata

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

I asked the workers at the marriage license branch last week what the busiest time of the year for marriages is. They said it was this week, the week between Christmas and New Years. Maybe it’s the opposite of mutual funds distributions and you want to wait till the end of the year, so you [...]

We just broke through 80 attendees

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

We just broke through 80 attendees to the wedding today–based on the online and snail-mail responses we have received.
With all these people, it makes me kind of sad that we aren’t going to have a big party with dancing and alcohol that last till one in the morning, but oh, well.

Wedding vow and Victoria Secret

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

I am researching possible wedding vows at About.com’s Wedding section. All the ads in this section are for Victora Secret.
All of them aren’t for underwear, but at least half of them are. Now I know that the reason they are there are because the company’s media buyer’s discerned that the demographic viewing the Wedding section [...]

Invitation update: We ran out of paper

Monday, December 25th, 2006

After 40+ hours of designing, ripping, cutting, printing, folding, stamping, and moistening, we’ve sent out over 175 invitations, reply cards, photos, directions, and envelopes–and we ran out of paper! We have a few more to send out, but most of those we have already contacted them in order to see if they were coming.
I hope [...]
