So I hung out with Heather and Evan tonight. Poor Heather! She started the motions on Tuesday, but was sent home since she hasn't gone more than 3 centemeters. :-( I know it will come in time, but she is ready for baby to come out!
We went to the chiropractor and he adjusted her and put baby in a better spot; more inline with the pelvic area. Evan and I did some energy work with her, so we're hoping all of that will help inspire baby bean to come out and play!
I am dying to meet this kid! I know we all are, Heather and Evan most of all!
COME OUT BABY BEAN! I know it's nice and warm and cozy in there, but the world is waiting for you! :-)

Engagment Party
So we had our engagement party today. It went really well. I was nervous about it being somewhat awkward with a lot of people I didn't know being there. And there were a couple, but overall it was good to see my parent's friends from the temple that I haven't seen in a long time.
Valerie and Jeff were there. It was cool to see them together as a couple, I don't think I've seen that yet! She brought a BEAUTIFUL cake! It was two tiers; one spice cake, one chocolate. And it was gorgeous! It was white frosting and she had done a Celtic knot design with hearts intertwined in it with a claddagh on the front. I totally started to cry when I saw it! I'm still misty eyed! It totally was the hit of the party! :-) What can I say, I have some talented ass friends!
We got lots of really nice gifts. I GOT MY KITCHEN AID MIXER! Can I just tell you how freaking excited I am about that? It's beautiful! It's the cobalt blue color I wanted. Jake's parents got it for us. That is something I have always wanted. Even years ago I used to dream of getting married and registering for the mixer! I am so going to use it! When we get a house it's taking its proper place on the counter!
I was a good day too. The rain held off until we left. It was pissing down on the way home. The drops were huge! They felt like they were whipping the car!
But anyway, it was a good day and it's a good feeling to know that people care about you, even if you haven't seen them in years!

Wedding Stuff
I am so upset right now. It's three months before the wedding and now the Granite Rose is telling me that we can't do things that were "no problem" when we originally sat down.
The most upsetting is that now Valerie can't make our cake. We chose a package with the cake included, but were told that if we weren't doing the cake that we could subtitute it with something esle. We're paying the money regardless. Now we're being told that if we bring in an outside cake we still have to pay the money, but get nothing in return! Apparently, it's in the contract. So now I had to crush Valerie and tell her that she can't make my wedding cake. I know it really upset her. I'm upset too! I mean, a cake from her would be so beautiful and so meaningful. Who else would put so much heart into making something like that for us? I know there will be other occasions and other cakes, but this really sucks. :-(
There were other little things as well, but I'm not going to go into details because it's arduous and pointless. Needless to say, I'm crushed and entirely disenheartened by the venue. I was so happy with them so far because they really made us feel like they cared about making our day special. They were the only place that didn't treat us like this was just another wedding; just another day in the biz. Now that the wedding is just three months away, I'm getting a totally different vibe. I know we're not their only customers. I know we're just another wedding, but it still sucks that all of a sudden we're being treated this way.
I priced mead from the NH liquor store because I wanted to have a bottle on each table. It would cost me $12/bottle if I bought it straight. If we get it through the Granite Rose it will cost $39/bottle! They wouldn't even be serving it! It was just going to be on the tables!
I'm anxious to see how much the hot spiced cider will cost.
Well, I guess I shouldn't complain. I mean, I WAS looking for all these special customizations. I guess I should just go with what comes with the package and enjoy the meaning of the day. That's it folks, I have just decided not to get bogged down with details! The important thing is that Jake and I get married in front of our family and friends. The rest is moot. Zen bride take over!
