In the beginning ...

... we were in Africa! 

I dominated a camel race.

And we saw lions ...

and a cheetah hunting ...

And I saw Alexa.

[This is the first in a ongoing series of "More Cute Pictures" requested by my loving fiance.]

Registry

Here are a few options for wedding gifts, if you are so inclined. We've registered at both places, so the process should be nice and easy.

Bed Bath and Beyond -  Just click the link and type in one of our names
Heifer International - One of our favorite charities
Housing Fund - Contribute towards a down payment for a home

Quick updates

Wedding Planning notes coming at you!

• We had 2 tastings with caterers when we were in DC last week (We also had bachelor and bachelorette parties, but that is a subject for another post). Man, tastings kind of rule. I'll try to post up some pictures soon. We've finally recovered from the food coma and, we're like *this* close to picking a caterer. Hopefully that'll be sorted out this week. We wouldn't want anyone to go hungry. 
• Alexa spent like 3 hours talking to her mom about what color plates we want on the registry last night, only to settle on ... grey. What I mean to say is, our registry is almost ready! I'll have links later this week!
• Invitations are in the mail! Or at least some of them are, and more will be soon. Send us your address if you haven't yet!
• We also have a photographer. He's French. Ohh la la. 
• Alexa also started in on the wedding iPod and added both Toto and Passion Pit. I see I've got some work to do there ... 
• We're also doing lots of more mundane stuff like figuring out parking and bathrooms at the wedding venue, emailing people about tents for the house, and figuring out how many tables we need, but hey progress is progress. 

That's all for now. Alexa is out of town a bunch next month (Malawi, Costa Rica, Paris and Thailand ... crazy kid), so I'll try to get up lots more posts, including those cute pictures that I've been promising while she's gone. More soon!
