Wedding Venues

The average cost of a wedding in the United States is about $30,000.

The cost to rent the grand ballroom at the Taj Hotel in Boston is $30,000.

But I reeeeaallly want it!

My parents are out of town and get back in tonight... I wonder if I can convince them.

Wedding Colors

The decision was too easy.

I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner.

These colors are so me... just look at my blog background.

RED WINE and WHITE WINE

(burgundy and champagne come close enough :) haha)

GoodBye Ginger :(

NotMexican can't take Ginger (his beautiful Golden Retriever) to Detroit. He'll be traveling all the time and poor thing would be neglected.

So I called around and made a strong effort to find dog-friendly housing in Boston. This is the most difficult task ever, but I discussed with NotMexican about training Ginger to be a Therapy Dog.

She could volunteer at the hospital, and pretty much all housing complexes would wave the no-dog rule. We were figuring it out and everything was going in the right direction...

Until we learned how much it would cost to get her trained, AND how much work I would have to do with her daily and by myself in Boston.

With residency call hours picking up, the marked increase in rent, the cost to get her to that level, the cost of us to continue long distance flights... it was proving to be too much.

So with sadness, NotMexican decided (well is still sorta deciding, but knows what is best) to give her back to the Golden Retriever rescue in Colorado. It's so tough to give her up, but I'm hopeful she will get adopted by another loving person or family.

Goodbye Ginger :(
