Hi there my lovelies…

How are you? It’s Monday.. Positively beautiful out.. which is awesome seeing as tomorrow is the first day of Fall. Ah… a fall wedding… How glad I am to say that I am having a Fall Wedding. The little crispness in the air.. starting to watch the leaves turn.. refusing to shut the windows at nite because it’s cool out.. so you rush to put on sweater and sweatpants and cozy socks and you feel like you’re doing something your mom would’a told’ja not to… hearing “shut the windows!”

So exciting.. I feel calm even though I feel I have tons to do still… the menial laundry/cleaning included in that tons.. to prepare for the flurry of guests coming in and out.. Gotta drop my Pez girl off at my parentals on Wednesday evening.. so she I know she is in GOOD hands!

But get THIS!!! A few months ago..like April?  I read in the Washington Post (cause I enjoy reading the paper.. especially when the Sunday Source was a part of it. Well they were going to Start a new section called “On Love” and I was like OOH! So I filled out the application.. and waited to hear.. I figured Peter and my story was unique enough.. not the typical ‘we met.. dated a year or so.. and got married” but ours was chocked full of mystery and intrigue.. that I thought I could hook them… Nope. Didn’t hear anything.

TILL TODAY!!! Holy Moly I get an email from someone at the Post saying we’ve been considered for the Newspaper.. So I just confirmed with our interviewer.. She will be here, hopefully getting to know us over a cup of Joe on Thursday Morning! How awesome is THAT!!! VERY!!! Wouldn’t it be KILLER to, along with Michaels AWESOME Photographs of us.. we’ll have a newspaper article to show our children too!!!! Wow. I’m kinda excited.. What do I wear to such an interview? Hmm…. gotta think on this. That means.. that most likely someone from the Washington Post will be taking pictures of the Wedding/Reception.  I’m so excited!!!!  It’s funny from the first time I saw that they were starting a new section called ‘On Love’.. I thought.. OOH.. I want us to be in there! And.. well.. so it might be! So awesome the way the Universe works!

So yea.. just in case you are wondering (Cause I’m SURE you are…) my week..(This is probably about me just writing it out than anything.)

Tomorrow:
- Thanks to the Great K – I’ll be busting out some Table Numbers and Place Cards. Probably involve a trip or so to Staples. (Random Thought) Oh and doing laundry and cleaning.. you know when you do one thing for an hour then you break and do something else? Yea that’ll be me tomorrow.

Wednesday:
- Spill over time for doing Place Cards if need be. If not.. Relax? ha! More cleaning probably.
- Gotta pick up my dress at noon. (Yippee! Macy’s Rocks.. seriously I have had a great experience with them)
- Drop off Welcome Bags at the Hotel
- Come home.. more cleaning probably.. then sometime around 4ish.. drive my little Kitty Girl to my parentals and have last Fox Family Dinner. (actually that makes me a little Sad. I’m changing my name to Russo.. so I will no longer be a Fox after this week… wow.. that just hit me.)

Thursday: (LONG DAY!)
- 10:30 meet with interview woman from Washington Post at the house. (Coffee and Muffins… check!)
- Noon  – Hair appt at Aveda in Chinatown !!!  Get hair chopped off (KIDDING!!!)
- Get nails done afterward…. aww purty nails!
- Michelle comes around 5ish… I have an eyebrow wax appt at either 5 or 6.. can’t remember.
- Michelle, my friends Liz and Matthew (who hail from Atlanta) and I will be getting together to go out to dinner (Probably Mexican)
- Then Michelle and I will be staying at the house while Peter is whisked away with his guy buddies. He won’t be home Thursday nite.. (Take good care of him boys!)  I think Matthews girl Melissa will be joining us. Maybe go for a walk in G’town.. who knows… I’m keeping it LOOSE! I  know I don’t want to be up till 3am or anything.

Friday
- Get up.. Realize I’m getting married the next Day.. Do a Happy Dance!!!
- Go have Breakfast/Lunch with my peeps somewhere.. (Maybe Lunch @  Carsyle?)
- Go get my toesies done.. hopefully with someone. That would be nice.
- Check into Hotel at 3pm.. Maybe a little before that (find out from POC at Hotel) If I can go earlier… then maybe I can drop off my stuff at Hotel THEN get toesies done… we’ll see.

- Get ready at Hotel for the Rehearsal.. People will be on their way or already here! Butterflies!!!
- Rehearsal at 6 at Oronoco Bay  Park.
- Rehearsal Dinner at 8:30 at LIAS
- Afterwards.. who knows..maybe go for a walk thru Old Town? Maybe get a drink (A drink.. not copious drinks)  I KNOW I’m not going to bed at 3am.. (I’m just not a late nite person usually and I’m sure I’ll be nervous… Kristine is staying in the room with me at the hotel.)

SATURDAY (THE BIG DAY!!!)
- I think I just hang out in the room all day while my girlies come and we do girlie things like get our hair and makeup .. done.. People will filter in and out.. Michael our awesome photographer will be in the loft at 1:30ish… and well.. I think you know what happens then… PARTY! oh.. wait.. we get married first then Party! Ha!

okay well don’t you feel better knowing what the heck I’m doing? I know it helped me to write it all out!
I am so excited to see everyone.. for everyone to see our surprises.. Hopefully the food will be stellar and I KNOW.. BEYOND a shadow of a doubt I am looking forward to DANCING!!!!! I’ve been practicing my dancing.. ha! now i’m being silly.

I feel so blessed sitting here right now.. I can only hope that The Wedding and the Reception is a mere reflection of how loved and appreciated everyone is for spending the time/energy and money to be with us . It has been my TOP priority to make sure everyone feels the love…..

Put your dancin shoes on… let’s dance the night away!!!
Much Love,
Kerilyn
