First of all... Shout out to Derek K. HAPPY NOW?

Second of all, I didn't forget I had a blog, it's just that wedding stuff is just boring lately. We're going down to the beach this weekend to pick out all of the stuff we can't do from Clinton. I know it sucks, but I'll suck it up and go to the beach anyway.

We did go to a popular department store in a once prominent mall on the northside of Jackson where everyone told us we HAD to register. So to make everyone happy, we went. This could possibly be the worst experience so far. The scanner they gave us SUCKED. I'm a man who needs immediate feedback and this thing is taking its sweet time. All this means is that Ashlea and I had to spend more time in a mall than we ever wanted to. We don't usually get along too well during shopping experiences, and when I'm mad at the scanner, my cooler head can't prevail. I'm pretty sure I asked for that ring back about 6 times during this one.

Not only did the scanner suck, the store itself wasn't in the best shape either. All of the items were scattered about, and it looked like one big clearance rack. Our favorite item at the store was the silver platter that was apparently returned by Adam and Janette because the card was still stuck to the top it along with a little wrapping paper. I didn't scan that one just in case Janette had a change of heart. Enough about that place.

We got a few of our engagement photos back so we can put them in the papers, and I was right. We both look like we just got our pinky toes cut off but were still forced to smile. Unfortunately these are the pictures that the entire metro area will see. Do me a favor and don't check out the engagement announcements in any of your local papers tomorrow.

Ashlea picked out our invitations today. She brought 2 books home so full of invitations I had to spot her just so she could put them on the table. I opened the first book, saw the first invitation, liked it, didn't understand why we had to go any further. She, on the other hand, kept going. Actually, it took her 2 days to make it to page 8, so I'm pretty sure she just gave up and picked that one so she wouldn't have to lug those books around anymore.

I'm too busy watching American Idol to finish this, but I'll be sure to update everyone after the beach trip.
