Survived the Engaged Encounter weekend

Ann and I spent all weekend locked into a former seminary with 20 other couples to attend Catholic Engaged Encounter marriage prep. We learned lots of things: 9 rules for arguing, how to make decisions together, marriage as a vocation, etc. Basically, though, the weekend confirmed what we've known all along: we are highly compatible!

Scott's house up for sale 5/1

After $2,500+ in maintenance, painting, cleaning, etc., Scott's house was finally put up for sale Monday 5/1. The goal is to close the sale as close to the asking price as possible as close to the wedding date as possible. Unfortunately, the resale market in KC is rather slow at the moment, so we'll see how realistic these goals turn out to be.

3 Heiders fitted for tuxes

While Dad was visiting KC, I dragged him and Corey over to Men's Wearhouse to get fitted for their tuxes. The whole process was surprisingly quick and painless. We celebrated our success by bellying up to the bar afterward at Granite City Brewing next door.

Created map/direction invitation inserts

Ann assigned Scott the task of creating a map/direction page to insert into the invitations. The finished product doesn't look very impressive, and yet it took several hours of hard labor to create. Crude, but hopefully effective! :-)

Blocked more rooms at Fairfield Inn

After revising our estimate of the number of guests attending the wedding from out of town, we just blocked 15 more rooms at the Fairfield Inn. All of the additional rooms have a single queen bed. Unfortunately, all of the rooms with 2 double beds have either been booked by racing fans or were blocked by us in January.
