So I guess my posts must be getting pretty boring because the volume of comments has come to a screeching halt. Sad for me...I miss you, my visitors.

These photos are from Pemaquid Lighthouse in Bristol, Maine. We stopped there on the way from Bar Harbor to Portsmouth, NH. It was a gorgeous spot! More to come...

The reception that I've been coordinating is coming up this weekend. I'm looking forward to it for several reasons:

1. It will be the first event where I've had a reasonable budget and have not had to do absolutely everything myself, so it should be more relaxing than other events that I've coordinated.
2. We hired a "real" caterer (Fabulous Food) and we're serving Norwegian food in honor of the bride and Mexican food in honor of the groom. I can't wait to see how the food is displayed and how it tastes. I'm really hoping to have time to take some pictures.
3. The hosts are stringing white lights all over the yard and we'll line the driveway with special luminarias, so it should be quite magical (more photo ops)
4. The RSVP guest count actually ended up being almost exactly the original target number. We had the potential for double that amount and I was a bit nervous.
5. Once this event is over, my schedule is wide open with no big activities until our vacation in December, then the holidays. I'm looking forward to being able to concentrate on home, family and friends for the rest of the year. That includes more blogging time as well.
