Right Around the Corner!

Hi Everybody!

The big day is quickly coming and I feel that I have barely had a moment to breath…let alone post!

Things have been a wee-bit busy for Andrew and I. My last day with my company will be on July 11, 2008 and in the meantime I am training a new employee for the role, while documenting and writing standard operating procedures for the Overseas Program Manager role I held with the company. Andrew is still working diligently as always! We have also been packing little by little for our trek out west. Our living room is starting to fill with boxes of books, glasses, dishes and plates. They will soon be piled to the ceiling!

We were fortunate enough to see my middle sister, Kiersten, graduate form high school this past Saturday. It was a great ceremony and we are very proud of her! She has had a fantastic high school career both academically and athletically. LeMoyne College in Syracuse, NY is lucky to be getting her next year! Congratulations Kiers!

Wedding plans are still moving forward as we round the corner with 23 days to go. We are meeting the florist and photographer this weekend, which should be a fun time. I know that between all of us, we can come up with something great and beautiful. Andrew and I are both getting more and more excited as the day approaches!

I hope that everyone is doing well and we are looking forward to seeing you all very soon!!!

Wedding

Hello to all and welcome to Kendall and Andrew's Wedding Blog!

Everything starts with a story….and here’s ours! In the summer of 2005 we met at the most romantic place on earth…Cornell Fitness Center in Helen Newman gym. Ha! Andrew had recently returned to Ithaca after inadvertently harvesting a deer, with his car, outside of Rochester, New York. I on the other hand had voluntarily stayed in Ithaca for the summer working for Cornell Fitness Centers. I was working my first shift ever, a very long 6 hours of standing, when Andrew walked in. He had returned to Ithaca to start his new student coordinator position at the gym a few months earlier than expected. We quickly bonded over Out Cold (for those of you who are not familiar with this, it is snowboarding movie- need I say more?!?!?!) quotes and soon became friends.

We got engaged on March 20, 2008 on a wooden foot bridge behind the Engineering quad on Cornell campus-a beautiful spot! Andrew even got down on one knee to propose! After saying "absolutely" and making sure the ring did not fall into the gushing water feet below us in the gorge, wedding planning came into full swing.

We are now less than 40 days away from the main event! Things are coming along nicely and it has been a whirlwind of activity. After the big day we will be packing up and moving ourselves back to Andrew's stomping grounds- Spokane, Washington. Being an East Coast girl all of my life I am looking forward to seeing the country and experiencing new things!

So now, I welcome everyone to please share in our excitement, stress, and joy as we come closer to our wedding, our move to Washington (from New York) and a whole new chapter in our lives!
