Florists, Bakers, and Storms - Oh My!

Ah! I have so many fun pictures I want to post and we don't have our camera! The lens didn't totally survive last weekend's Beer Pong Tournament, so it's at the Cannon factory being repaired as we speak.

Our very first Gingerbread House that we made at Dino Girl's house is SOO cute!! Seriously, the cutest little Gingerbread House ever. A roof of Smarties, a walkway of Good & Plenty, and even a chimney with smoke. I am now a Gingerbread convert and I hope we have a new Christmas tradition.

Today is the big Nor'easter that's supposed to hit, so we'll be inside all day cleaning and baking and doing wedding tasks. And speaking of wedding tasks, we went to Canandaigua yesterday to do wedding stuff. Here's the rundown:

• Florist - Since Ouiser is doing all of the other wedding flowers, all I needed was my bouquet. We met with a florist and liked what they put together so we went with them. We were both pleasantly surprised at how nice of a bouquet you could get for our small budget, so that was nice.
  

• Resort - Since we were in town we decided to stop by the lodge to have lunch and take another look around and I'm so glad we did. It was good to see the layout again and to look at their pictures from this summer's weddings. A little disheartening to see how many more things I needed to decorate/spend money on, but I won't get into all that now. We also got to see a room and WOW!! If you're staying in the lodge itself you will squeal with delight when you see these rooms! All wood, gas fireplace, a huge shared porch with everyone else on your floor to make visiting very easy and relaxing, Adirondack chairs to enjoy the view... I just can't say enough good things.

• Cake - We didn't know we needed an appt., so we just poked around the bakery and looked at their pictures. And sampled the goods of course! So we'll meet with them officially in January we we go back to meet with the wedding coordinator.
  

Also, we came home to find that we had received our engagement photos! They are even more beautiful than they were online, and I'm dying to get to the store to buy some frames. Hope you all survive the storm! I'll let you know how it goes.
