We finally went grocery shopping! Our fridge was so sad, cool whip, pickles and cat food. Now the pantry and fridge are stocked full. We even made a point to buy some grillable items.

And that's just what we did Friday (July 9) night. Jeff fired up the grill while I cut up veggies for my shish-kabobs. I think we did pretty well for our first grilling experience.

After dinner Friday and again Saturday morning I was in a mad dash to clean up the house. Glen, the minister for our wedding, was coming by to discuss the questionnaires we had completed earlier.

I think we were both a little anxious about the meeting, but it wasn't too bad. He says that based on our responses, he feels we know each other pretty well. We even wrote practically the same answer for several of the questions. It was kinda creepy.

After he left we decided to hit the mall to visit Gingiss and check out the guywear options for the wedding. Jeff picked out a simple tux with vest and tie. I guess the next step is to get all the guys in there to be fitted.

We also stopped by Michaels to look at the flowers again. Thankfully, the lady working in this store was actually helpful and showed us some good combinations of fall flowers. We picked up one bunch each of about 5 or six different kinds to play around with. With Jeff's help I was finally able to put together something halfway decent. But I only had enough flowers for 2 bouquets.

Sunday, after lounging around for a while and trying to watch the race live (versus the Tivoed, no commercials way), we ran back out to Michaels to buy the rest of the flowers to finish up all 6 bouquets. Turns out all flowers were 40% off (doh!) so in addition to the bouquet flowers we purchased these fall leaves to use for the ceremony. I feel silly buying them, because we'll have no use for them afterwards, but it's going to look cool.

For those of you who didn't realize, Sunday was July 11th. That's 7/11. And on 7/11, 7-Eleven was giving away free 7.11 oz Slurpees for their 77th birthday. Sure, that's pretty small, but when you visit 3 different stores, that adds up to a pretty decent Slurpee!

We also grilled out again, just burgers this time. I'm going to have to find some other neat grillable meals, it's much more fun that cooking on the stove. :)

I think that pretty much takes you all up through this past weekend, so I'm going to stop typing!
