I'm having a great week home. A major task for this visit was wedding planning and that is going off better than I imagined. My jobs this week were to rent a dance floor, get a photographer, and get a stamp made. 1 and 2 are done already! The dance floor was easy. And while at dinner with Rachel's Mother (Janice) and Stepfather (Jim), it turned out Jim's brother used to do wedding photography! He doesn't like doing it anymore, but Jim called him and he agreed to do it for us! For free, of course, but we will give quite a large thank-you gift. BAM! The hardest remaining planning bit is sorted!
The final thing is a stamp. Rachel came up with a symbol for us combining our initials and interests. I need to change her image in a vector drawing to get it made online. So I need to find someone who knows about that sort of thing or learn it myself. I'm sure someone experienced could whip it up in 15 minutes. It will probably take me many hours. I might even try to do it programmatically with the pySVG library. Either way is going to be laborious.
Tonight I am going to a sparring exhibition at Andrew's boxing gym with Kellen and we are meeting Nick and Cara. Cara has a graphic design background - I wonder if she knows how to use a vector art program and could help. It should be fun watching Andrew do his boxing thing, but he is sparring with Zack the owner and operator of the place, so he will probably get pummelled pretty bad. That won't be cool. But at least he'll have supporters.
