The pieces are coming together!

Hi!
This is Trevor and I'd just like to clarify some things about this wedding blog. First of all, all of the entries below this one are written by Jill. So yeah, I haven't gone on a vacation to Mexico with a friend named Shiya or enjoyed wedding dress shopping with my mom (even though the entries have my name below all of them). Second of all, I'm excited that you've taken the time to come to this blog to read about myself and Jill.

This has been a very exciting week for Jill and myself. On Saturday we spent more money than any other day of our lives. We bought wedding bands for each other. (that was really fun, we customized them together and they're going to look great!) We also bought a house! The house is a 3-bedroom 1050 square-foot bungalow. It has a detached, insulated, two and a half car garage. And it's right near the Park. Jill and I are really excited about moving in together there. And we're both getting ready to be homeowners by visiting Home Depot at least three times a month! I'm also trying to learn about different colors like mauve and burgandy. And Jill is getting me really excited about doing "man things" like removing stipple and painting.

Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to check out this blog. Jill and I would really appreciate any comments you have about first-time houses, or anything else for that matter. If you leave a comment, I guarantee that you'll make Jill and myself very happy. And I promise to stop stalking other blogs and start leaving comments myself. I love you all. Have a great day!

Wouldn't It Be Nice? - The Beach Boys

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long
And wouldn’t it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong
You know it’s gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we’ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn’t it be nice
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
We could be married
And then we’d be happy
Wouldn’t it be nice
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let's talk about it
Wouldn’t it be nice
:)

Happily overwhelmed...

We're happily overwhelmed at this point. We're working out invitation ideas (of which there are plenty... yet nothing concrete), working on flowers, favours and rentals. Ahhh... if it were just the wedding.
I have committed myself co-directing a full length play that will take place the last week-end of May. There are 17 actors. It's hilarious. If anyone is around Lanigan around this time, I highly recommend a quality evening show. (I realize that most people reading this are far, far away for Lanigan. It'd be a cool road trip!)
Trevor and I met with a realtor this past weekend and we are starting to house hunt. I love it but it's scary. There's so many things to know (and we just don't... we are trying to learn quick). This coming Saturday, we're going on a parade of homes in our price range. Should be fun.
We're also trying to work full-time, coordinate family things, job hunt (ah yes, I'll be knocking on public school doors) and date long distance. On that note, if we seem like neglectful friends or, if you think we've fallen off the face of the Earth, sorry... we're just happily overwhelmed.
The picture is of us at Blue Mountain (North Battleford) where we chaperoned my Outdoor Ed winter adventure a few weekends ago.
If you have any house-hunting tips you'd like to share, leave a comment.
