I’ve been having a hard time explaining my “vision” to people when they ask. In the end they are either confused, have the wrong idea, or just give me an odd look. I am much better at explaining things, when I have pictures to show, so I put together this post explaining what the current game...

On Sunday, I went on my first-ever Atlantic City bus trip with my best friend from high school. We had a blast! I can’t wait to go back in October. The only part that sucked, was getting up at 4am. The bus pick-up location is almost an hour away from where I live, so I was driving while the sun was rising. I...

So 91% of you were right! We went with the casino! I stopped in at the casino last weekend to take a bunch of pictures so I could figure out where I could put decorations, and how it was all laid out. I also took a minute long video to help my memory. Please note that the place was kind of a mess from a previous...

What a busy and wedding filled day I just had! I started my morning off by visiting a park close to the casino. It was much nicer and bigger than I thought it would be. There was no definite ceremony space, but I took the video below to show my parents.
After the park I went to my parents house, where I worked on...

Friday night blogging is an extremely rare thing for me, but I wanted to dump these thoughts on here before they exit my mind. We went to see the golf course banquet hall tonight. I took some photos and a really quick video, for Travis and to share on here, of course. As of right now, the casino and the golf...

The date and the reception venue place have been set! May 31, 2014!
Which is about a year and two months away. Last night I finally got the biggest thing out of the way, the reception spot. We did in fact book the casino… (and decided on an after-party at two of the casinos indoor bars) We have the entire 4th...
