Rationally, I know it almost never rains in L.A. during July.  But booking an outdoor site for the ceremony had me thinking "what if..."  

So, I am happy to report that the 10-day forecast shows sunny weather for July 5th with a low of 67, a high of 88, and a 0% chance of rain!  Whew...  

See the 10-day weather forcast for Burbank here.  

If you haven't yet mailed in your RSVP, please drop it in the mailbox today!  We have to turn in the "final number" of guests to the site next week.  

Also, if you would prefer a vegetarian meal, don't forget to drop us a line to let us know.  

One last thing, if you have booked your hotel, let us know where you're staying!

That's all my "wedding business" for now.  Three weeks and counting - can you believe it?

Hi all - 

Details for the 2008 Americafest at the Rose Bowl have finally been released!   Sean and I thought this would be the perfect (optional, of course) group activity to celebrate the 4th of July together - a great chance to catch up with everyone the evening before the "big" day!

Please check the new "4th of July Event" tab for details.  Hope you can make it!

If anyone has been wanting to get an updated picture of Sean and me, your wish has just been granted!  This is the first time we have been "professionally" photographed together, and we were delighted with the results.  Leah did a great job!

Can you guess which one we picked as the "official" engagement picture???

I am proud to report that all of the invites have been assembled, addressed, stamped, and dropped off at the post office.  If you have not received your invitation by the end of April, please let me know and I will send you out a duplicate. 

Sean and I are having our "engagement picture" taken on Wednesday - never mind that we were engaged nine months ago!  Better late than never, I suppose!  I will post some of the pictures to the site once we get them back.  Our photographer for the shoot (who is also shooting the wedding) is Leah Lee - and she is a peach!  She has been just wonderful to work with so far.  If you need a photographer in the LA area, I would highly recommend her.  Check out her website at leahleephotography.com

Hi all - 

I just wanted to share some great news with everyone!  I found out this morning that I will be training next year at Cedars Sinai Medical Center!  This is a very competitive site and I was thrilled to be invited.  I'll also be working two days per week at the California Youth Authority in Camarillo, gaining valuable experience in forensics.  

This will have to be a quick update as I have a statistics final tomorrow - it's back to the books for me!

Everyone have a great week!

Hi all - 

I just realized that today marks the beginning of the 100-day countdown to the wedding!  Yikes!  This year has flown by.  It's hard to believe that it's almost April already.  If you haven't yet begun your travel planning, you might want to get started!  And please let Sean or I know if we can be of assistance. 

We just can't wait to see everyone.  The invitations arrived this week, and they are lovely.  We plan on mailing them out around the 2nd week of April.  Keep an eye on your mailboxes!

Sean is very busy with work projects right now, and I am buried in preparations for finals.  So, just for fun, (and to help me keep things in perspective), I though I'd share some significant events that occured on March 27th throughout recorded history.  Who knew so much happened on March 27th??
