Submitted engagement announcement/photo to newspapers

We have submitted our engagement announcement/photo online to the following newspapers:

Only one of the papers would specify if/when the announcement might be published... That must be their way to get more people to read the paper. :-)

Those of you in the Belgrade area ought to see the announcement in the Observer issue published Wednesday 5/17.

Mailed 90 invitations 5/8

After much preparation by Ann, Brenda S, and Mom, Scott stamped and mailed 90 invitations Monday morning 5/8. The invitations just barely squeaked under the 1-oz. weight limit for mailing with a 39 cent stamp, and that was only after Brenda cut the back off all of the reception and response cards. Hopefully all of the invitations will make it to their destinations; then the responses will begin.

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.
