Senior Citizen in the driveway

It's official, Doris now qualifies for senior discounts! She hit the 100k mile mark on Battlefield St. while we were on our way to try out a little ice cream shop (no offense to Andy's Frozen Custard, we just wanted some ice cream). We hit 70,000 our first week here so that's 30,000 miles we've traveled since moving down to Springfield, not bad for driving back and forth to Michigan a dozen times. We haven't heard any odd noises or had anything catastrophic happen, but we're keeping our fingers crossed just in case...

Don't worry, I wasn't speeding!

Other updates:
The wedding, as you all know, is coming up shortly and as you can imagine, we're pretty busy getting all our ducks in a row.
Atalie has not had any work for the past week and it looks like she won't for a while, so we're living on my meager paycheck at the moment- yay!

Steel Creek Hiking

This weekend we took a break from the wedding planning to try and regain a little sanity. It was very welcome! The weather was chilly- mid-20s during the day and mid-teens at night- but we managed to stay (mostly) warm. The hiking itself was pretty hard due to the fact that we were carrying too much stuff and we haven't done it in a while, but the scenery made up for the sore and tired muscles.
(The pictures are all out of order because Blogger is crap and loads them in reverse order)

A beautiful Sunday morning hike out.

Atalie at an overlook of the Buffalo River. Right behind her in the valley is Steel Creek campground.
Patrick at the Steel Creek campground for a quick break- we ended up coming back here to camp Saturday night.

Old news by now...

So this is probably old news by now, but to anyone who (for some reason) doesn't know this, we're getting married on March 20, 2010!
We have a website that we've set up through theknot.com where you can check out ALL the details. For those of you interested, we'll get it updated with registry stuff in the near future.

We will try and keep the blog updated with more info and our mental states as we approach W-day.
