Dave and I met with the priest yesterday and got out initial meeting out of the way. No problems so nothing really to worry about. We have to get some paperwork done to ensure that we are 'free' to marry... it's somewhat funny all the things we have to go through just to get married. But in the end, it will be worth it.

I have secured the DJ for the reception and began to think about songs. I have an idea but still haven't discussed it with Dave yet so I won't give it away... actually I won't give it away until we dance to it!!Still have to look into to tuxedos and rehearshal dinner situation. Going to order the invitations now...

So what's going on outside of wedding? Dave's team lost in overtime to archrival Shelby on Thursday night, but at least they competed and it was Shelby coming from behind to tie! Ah well... three more games and hopefully they will get 2 more wins and finish with a winning record...My job description changes as of January 2008, but it will all be ok in the end. I am not too worried about it, but it will make me think about what I want to do in the future. I need to go back to school so I will probably do that and deal with my situation.

That's it for this post!!

Update on Plans

All plans are going well. We tried to look at tuxedo styles yesterday but it seems the place we were going to look is being bought out so after January, they don't know WHAT styles they would have.. so we'll see about that again.

Other than that, all is well... have to call the DJ tomorrow and confirm. That will mean starting to think about songs for the wedding...

The hotel situation has been ironed out and we hope that all take advantage of a room should you need a room here in Shelby. Here is the link : http://events.ichotelsgroup.com/DPRD-77LPUX/SHLNC/website/ to book a hotel room.

Also, I decided to update on Dave's 4-2 football team. He's the defenisve coordinator for the Kings Mountain JV football team, and they are having a very good year. He had to yell at them the other night, but they got it together and posted their first shut out of the year!!

Welcome to our Wedding Blog!

I guess I should say this is my wedding blog since Dave has NO idea I just set this up. I thought that since so many of our friends and family are out of town, this would be an ideal way to keep all up to date on our plans.

To be honest, all is running very smoothly. I really am pleased with everything and managed to pin down a few things today. The most exciting thing is that we have blocked the rooms at the Holiday Inn Express. It's located at the mall here in Shelby and there are several resturants located very nearby. We recommend Ham's as the chips are awesome!!!

Check back from time to time to check our progress... we are under 24 weeks to go...

love to all,

Belinda, Dave and Murphy
