OK OK OK!!!

We have been so busy and I am starting to realize that I am NOT a blogger! David and I had some dear friends over last night, and they gave us grief about not updating our wedding blog. We felt it was quite necessary to update since we are only 77 days away!

It is very close! Last Monday I had my hair trial and make up trial and then my bridal portraits. It was so much fun! I was dancing around in my dress with my sister and one of my bridesmaids!! My mom was there and had to leave to go get me some wine to loosen up! I was very tense. And then my dad surprised me by walking in the studio! By the end, I was having a blast! I felt like a model bride that was having a photo shoot! I highly recommend Evoke Photography!!

Next week, David and i will try AGAIN to do our engagement photos. We were scheduled for last week, but the weather changed and it turned out to be a yuck day! We will be taking our pictures at Hermann Park and are very excited!

On January 11th, we will have our food and wine tasting! We go to the Rice Hotel, and decide how to set up the room with the tables and decorations, with the Chuppa and band, and all the bars around the room! Then we will sit down at a table and taste a bunch of food from Sambuca! It should be fun! My sister, my mom, my dad, my step mom, and of course David and myself will be food critics! So exciting!

Also...invitations will be going out pretty soon. They are at the calligrapher being addressed, so be checking your mail soon!

On another note...BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM!! The special rate we got for the blocks is only good until February! We blocked rooms at the Alden, The Lancaster, The Hilton Post Oak and The Magnolia. The Rice Hotel is NOT A HOTEL. It is lofts that people actually live in. The Magnolia Hotel is across the street and i think that is where a majority of the people are staying. And...more importantly...that is where David and I are going to stay the night of our wedding before we leave for Riviera Maya the next morning!!!

I hope this updates everyone enough. I need to post pictures, but i haven't upload pics in SOOO LONG! I actually have to get my computer worked on and don't want to lose all the pictures. So as soon as that is taken care of, I will post pictures! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year! 2010 will be a wonderful prosperous year!!! Love to all!!!!

Brett and David
