Hi everyone,

You might not know (for some reason the count-down on the site counts months, not days) but Matthew and I will be married in 95 days!  Double digits!  This felt like a HUGE DEAL ten days ago, when our count-down had three digits, but now that the milestone has passed it feels less momentous.  I’m thankful for that.  It had me sort of stressed out.

The Merrick/Schillhammer kids know how to stuff stuff

Everything is going well.  So far the biggest headache has been my hair -which is nothing in the scheme of things!  I had my siblings all stuffing envelopes over the long-weekend, so they’re all ready to be delivered to the post office mid-August.  Bill is working on figuring out transportation for our lovely guests to and from the hotel.  I’m starting to think about the littler details – my sweet man is excited that we’ve reached this stage, because he knows I’ll like it.

We’ve been thinking a lot about our wonderful friends and family, and how we can best host you and thank you for all your love.

The celebration will be here before we know it!
