the '56 days to go' update

**update to the update: Patrick worked his magic and comments are now back in action. Comment away!**

We are getting married 8 weeks from today. 8 weeks! Woo! Whoa.

There's been a lot going on (wedding related and not), and things continue to move forward at an insane pace. Here's what's up:

• A week from today, we're moving to our new apartment (well, we're starting the move-- we'll be moving slowly over a couple of weeks). I'm really going to miss being in the heart of Northampton, but I'm so looking forward to all of the space we're gaining. Our new town (just 10 minutes away) is also very walkable, the new place is huge, and we'll have outdoor space-- something we've been craving.

• My bridal shower was a week ago, and it was great. The hostesses did a great job planning, and it was wonderful to see so many friends and family members. Of course, everyone was ridiculously generous. It was overwhelming, in a good way. There are some photos here. Patrick stayed, which certainly helped calm my nerves (along with the delicious white sangria...). There were funfetti cupcakes, the food was tasty, and it was all in all a good party. Thank you!

• After many months (eight? nine?) of working with Meg on designing and producing our invitations, they are ready to go! It's been quite a labor of love, and on Monday, we will send these little babies out into the world. We're only a couple days behind our original deadline, and considering all the little roadblocks we've run into I'd say that's rather impressive.

There are other things I want to tell you about-- the story of our cake topper, our complete inability to decide on favors, and oh my gosh did you see this article about the bride who made her bridesmaids get botox?? But right now we're on our way to see Batman at the drive-in, so it will have to wait.

p.s. a few people have alerted us to the fact that the comments on the blog aren't working. We'll have it fixed soon, promise!
