It's about time....

So I got the call from my realtor yesterday that everything should be set to rock and roll a closing on the house on Monday. I'm so pumped, but at the same time I feel like I don't have enough things packed and I need to take a crap load of stuff to Goodwill. I can't believe that I will be in my new home in 3 more days, it's a crazy thought! Salem Courthouse has become such a home for me, mostly because I worked here and I knew a lot of the other residents. But there will be something nice about having a washer and dryer in my home instead of right outside my apartment, and it will be nice to have a guest bedroom and an extra bathroom.

Josh and I have been looking at locations for the wedding, and so far we looked at the Hilton, IRT, The Terrace at Market Tower, The Fountains, and The Garrison. I think the big winner will be The Garrison. They require a higher deposit than most of the other locations, but I guess it's good to have a big chuck of the money out of the way early and pay the smaller amount before the big day! The Garrison was also a prime location because that area of town means a lot to me. I always wanted to get married at the little white gazebo nearby, but I have decided that it would be a better idea of get married on the porch of The Garrison and have the reception following in the ballroom. At least I can still take some wedding pictures at the Gazebo and that is all that matters. I believe we are looking to have our wedding on June 19th which is a Friday and have a later ceremony.

The Garrison is also cute because they own all of these old general mansions that they use for lodging. I think I will rent out one of the master suites myself so that I have an area where I can get ready and the room decor will also be good for pictures.
