Saving the Date

By some miracle, I didn't have to work this weekend. My honey always has weekends off, so this meant that we had a weekend to spend together. It was a great opportunity for an adventure, and I also wanted to take advantage of the daylight hours to take care of something we've been putting off. 

With our wedding date approaching quickly (less than five months away!), we need to either send out Save the Date cards ASAP or just say the hell with it. Which we can't really afford to do, as most of our invitees will need to make arrangements of some kind or another (most of my peeps need to request off from work, and most of his peeps need to book flights and/or hotel rooms). All the coolest Save the Date cards have pictures, which we are sadly short on. Hence my goal for the weekend: to combine having an adventure with taking pictures to put on cards to mail out to our friends and families.

We packed the dog off to my Mom's house, crossed our fingers that my old cat and our new cat wouldn't kill each other, and drove to Laughlin. On Saturday, we rented a Jet Ski, saw the sights (the river and the casinos and that's about it), drank a little, gambled a little, and called it a day. 

This morning we had breakfast in bed and discussed: 
"Is there anything we haven't done here?" 
"Nope." 
"Ready to go?" 
"Yep."

So we gathered our belongings and our $1.50 casino winnings from last night and headed for home. And we have a picture of us on the Jet Ski that will look great on a postcard. The consensus: our weekend getaway was a success. Now we just have to make sure all of our addresses are up to date.
