I know...it's only the end of October (230 days, but who is counting?!?) But I want to get out some hotel information for out of town guests.
We have a block of rooms at the Hampton Inn in Deer Park. It's a GREAT location (right by the outdoor mall, lots of food and shopping!) It's super affordable ($79/night) and they serve breakfast in the mornings (which I can't pass up!)

That is the website for the hotel, just ask for "Fenwick/Dwyer" block. If you only want to stay there the night of the wedding (there is a shuttle) that is fine. If you want a hotel room for the rest of the time somewhere else (Crystal Lake, Mundelein) Let me know I will get you that information!

I know..we stink at updating our blog!
Ah...life is good...but certainly crazy!
We can hardly believe how fast time has flown by!!! We are starting to have to really plan things out now!
We picked our DJ-he was referred to us by a co-worker. We are very excited to have that in place! We have postponed engagement photos to after Thanksgiving-literally the 26th. We have a few ideas we are really anxious about! We still need to order the invites-although they are picked out. It only takes a week to get them-so we aren't in a rush. As far as the dress...well....the idea is in hibernation. The dress is still there-and we might go look one more place. I just don't feel like there is enough time for anything!
As far as the rest of things: Blake is working LONGGGG hours at work, and I'm teaching, working at the Swim Club, and tutoring two days a week....so to make matters worse we barely get to communicate on anything! But we are making it through and enjoying the time.
The house is great-Blake is a little more "cluttery" then me but I'm giving him time to enjoy that before I move in. Like seriously a 12 x 18 in cookie pan sitting on the counter is not my idea of decorating :)
We (well really just me) are looking for a kitchen table. I have one in my mind-I just have to find it! I got a great deal on a headboard last weekend and it looks great! We would like to get real bedroom furniture too :) But of course, having the furnace checked, windshield fixed, and medical bills come first!
Oh! One more wedding thing-we are leaning towards the videographer idea....I'm actually excited about it. I didn't think I would be!
Sorry again for the delay-things should be picking up soon!
