Break In Illinois

Spring break isn't too exciting when you seem to be the only one stuck in Illinois!

Break was uneventful for me, and nothing new has really happened. My fiance, who I still swear is the most incredible man I've ever met, is being flown out to NYC by...get this... the New York Times! They're interviewing him on Friday. I'm so proud! But as for me...I'm still waiting.

I did get to have a couple nice "wedding" moments over break. I picked up my wedding dress, which is now residing safe and sound at my parents' house until I get it altered in December. I also got to visit the location for our wedding again. I thought I'd share some pictures:


This is where people will sit. If you can see it, behind the bricks against the glass is a pond with pretty fishies.


This is where PJ and I and our wedding party will stand. The chairs will go past those stone areas, and we'll stand just to the right of the waterfall.


And here's a closer view of the waterfall.

I love where we're getting married. It's so pretty inside, and we get the run of all the outside gardens too. They're not in bloom yet, but I know they'll be gorgeous come June.
