Brief Encounter with Craziness

Well, I'd like to think that it was a brief encounter, some of you may feel otherwise :)

Daniel and I entered into a contest last week to win $1,000 off of our wedding photos with a local photography company (along with 29 other couples).  The results were as follows: we ended up with over 400 votes in less than three days; we got third place; and after staying calm throughout the entire three days, I temporarily went insane for the last hour of the competition!

Although we didn't win the big prize (the couple that did beat us by over 100 votes!) we did receive a little over $500 toward our wedding photos if we choose to use the company.  We are interviewing a few photography places in the area and hopefully by the end of 2011 we will have narrowed down our search.  (Feel free to give us any referrals you may have!!)

I would say that we're on a pretty awesome start to the planning.  We have made our deposit on the venue, purchased my dress, engagement pictures are finished, contacted our cake lady, have hair/makeup consultants lined up, have our caterer down, have a DJ lined up, appointments with the flower lady and bridal salons are made, and the list goes on and on :)

I'm am pretty proud of us - we work so well as a team!
