Randy waited for me to get home from the gym, as he had a hunch that there might be something fun and exciting waiting for us in the mailbox. He was right! Our very first RSVP had arrived!! The honor goes to…Grandma Ingalls & Kenny. One of my co-workers handed me his at our usual Tuesday morning meeting, but I put it in the mailbox and sent it to myself at home. Dumb...yes, maybe, but I figured I paid for the stamps, might as well have the post office earn their $.28!
Today when we checked the mail at lunch I waited with excitement as Randy opened the mailbox. Tucked away between the bills, weekly newspaper, and other junk were 11 bright green posts cards. I don’t know that I have ever been so excited to get the mail! As I fingered thru each post card I read the name out loud and proudly announced that each person checked YES they would be coming to our wedding.
So, adding these 11 RSVPs to our 2 guests from yesterday, and the grand total for wedding guests is 28. I think that is a pretty good start for only having the invitations out for 3 days!
Keep em coming people!
Road to the Aisle
Randy and I are to be married on August 29, 2009. This blog chronicles my journey as a bride-to-be.

Jonny Christensen - Best Man
Jon is one of Randy's best friend and there was never any doubt that he would be Randy's best man. After elementary school, jr high, and high school you would think these 2 would be sick of each other. That is not the case. Welcome to the wedding party Jon. I couldnt imagine the day without you.
