It's been awhile since I posted! Since then, we had a bit of a scary incident with my new nephew. He needed a surgery when he was only 10 days old! Apparently his intestines didn't develop properly, so they were bound up and not everything was able to pass through. He started throwing up bile :-/. So they had to make an incision in his stomach, pull out his entire intestines and run their fingers along it to get rid of any kinks, then put them back in. Yuck! Apparently he was really, really lucky though because with some babies they have to remove the intestines and then they have a bag there for the rest of their life. And some have liver damage from it. And some even die! I am sooooooo happy that Micah is going to be ok; I just feel horrible for my poor sister! They're all home now and he's doing well though, so that's good!
Troy and I are going home next weekend to meet with caterers. We are doing tastings with 2 of them and just meeting with the other 2. I finally went through and filled in estimates for everything in the wedding budget and had a bit of a freakout. It was WAY over budget. We cut out some unnecessary things and cut our guest list some, so it's a little more reasonable now. It's still a couple thousand dollars more than I would like, but oh well. I thought the biggest bummer was that we're going to probably have to cut out a honeymoon until later. It makes me a little sad since traveling is my most favorite thing ever, but I'd rather have more of my friends and family there than anything. Besides, Troy's parents offered to let us go up to the condo and hang out in Traverse City, so that would still be fun. We go there all the time, but hardly every DO anything. We just stay at the condo and play video game (not my idea of a great time...) so it would be nice to actually see some fun things. Too bad it will be December because there's a ton of fun summery things I want to do up there :) I'm sure there area just as much fun wintery things though too!
