A Wedding! A Wedding!

Yes, it's true, I'm getting married... again! When Ishmael and I finally set a date and started planning this shing-dig, I thought, "This time, it's going to be small and simple". But when so many of Ishmael's friends committed to coming in from out of state, it quickly became clear that "small" was not to be. With a count of around 25 from my own family alone plus a hoped-for 20-30 out-of-towners, our 75 seat decided-on venue wasn't going to work (how do I cut my list down to a mere 20 people?). So now we're having it in Denver at a larger facility and invited practically everyone I know (and still talk to!) .

It could still be simple though, right? Not! When you're talking excited African friends, simple isn't what comes first to mind. But since they want to plan, cook, coordinate, and pay for the reception food... Plus, I had the excellent foresight to plan my wedding on a big party holiday (New Year's Eve). I planned it early enough that the locals could easily get to any party in the area, even if it was a dinner party. But now I have 30 out-of-town guests to think of... so I had the brilliant idea of having our very own New Year's Eve Party! No problem right? Problem. Expense. Actually, I found a great location, just have to work out the food costs (they require use of their caterer).

But all in all, it's coming together. I have the important things -- the groom, the venue, the dress, the cake, the guests. Much of the planning is the capable hands of friends so I can focus on moving and an upcoming trip. It's definitely a day to look forward to.

Nussbaumer Log Home

It's finally looking like a reality! My parent's log home started getting it's logs last week. Take a look!

Scots, Pipes, and Sun

It's that time of year again - time for the Scottish-Irish Highland Festival in Estes Park! I spent the weekend at a friend's cabin (thanks Jodi!) in Estes, compliments of my roommate who insisted I leave the house to avoid the fumes caused by his sealing the new wood floors. Gorgeous weekend for a Festival! No clouds in sight and I put sunscreen on too late, resulting in quite a red face & neck... ah well.

Highlights of the weekend included listening to my new favorite band Seven Nations and my sister's pipe band the Isle of Mull. Check out my pictures here.

Yay! New website!

Yay! I finally got my new business website up and running. How is it possible to spend so much time figuring out how to fix a teeny-tiny little problem? :) It's a weight off my mind and now I'll start focusing on the marketing again. Take a look and feel free to let me know what you think!
