Housing and whatnot.
We started looking into housing today. We're pretty much smack-dab in the middle of deciding on that. To rent an apartment or a townhouse, to get a nice house, have one built, or to get a fixer-upper. We're in the middle of it all, undecided. But we started looking a little. Then...when do we move in together? I know it's the norm to live together in today's day in age while dating or early engagement stages, but I've never agreed with that for myself. I always wanted to wait until marriage. However, now that planning has started happening, I'm thinking maybe a few months before, maybe sooner? For those of you who are married, what did you do with your living situation?
I started a guestlist. With basic people (family mostly, friends, and some of Jarrod's family and friends...I just went through my cell phone and guestimated...) I have approximately 160 people. I'm thinking 200-250 will be the total once we're done, because we were guessing with his family/friends, and he had around sixtysome. (And where do we get all of this money again? *eye roll*)
What else? Ah...we have to pick a reception spot, because that's apparently very important to do as early as possible, especially for September weddings. And...we're going to sit down and budget soon - because that's obviously important.
Two things we think we're going to be squared away with either no cost or low cost: flowers and cake. Two big things, so hopefully that'll work out! (Thanks to Kelly, and Jarrod's grandmother or Britt's mom!)
That's about all the updates I have right now. It's storming outside. I have so much laundry and organizing to do, and all I want to do is look at houses/apartments and wedding stuff! Which leads to my next question, which I'll put in the form of a poll, because it's easier...

Oh, and we watched The Pursuit of Happyness last night. I adore Will Smith. Though it was a slow movie, it was good. Cute, cute, and cute. Knock knock. Who's there? Nobody. Nobody who? Nobody who? ;) I'm gonna go work on my Judaism Presentation now. See ya!
