I think we've got it figured out

Alright, I think we have our wedding venue picked out!  I told Aaron earlier in the week that I wanted to have a venue picked out by the end of the month, because there's only about a year to go until the wedding.  We still don't have an exact date, but I want it to be during the fall colors.  They are just starting to show up on some of the maple trees.

Anyway, I really liked both Centennial Lakes Park in Edina, and the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center.  Aaron hadn't seen the Centennial Lakes Park because I went there after work one day and took pictures, and all I could find was a small tri-fold with information about renting.  I had contacted the Earle Brown Heritage center via email and requested a rental information packet from them, and received a very nice one, which had information about all the food and drink they serve, detailed pictures of the rooms and layouts of them, etc.  Aaron didn't want to waste time going down to Edina yesterday to look - he said we should just go with the Earle Brown because the costs seem very reasonable, and it's VERY close to where we live. 

So we started breaking everything down, and I think we can definitely do something VERY nice that is within our budget.  I'm really excited.  I sent an email to the woman who sent me the package (since it was Saturday, after all), and let her know we were interested in a certain time frame, and asked when we might be able to go and visit.  Hopefully I will hear back from her early in the week.

Aaron and I have really been enjoying our weekend so far - all we've done is some grocery shopping as far as getting out of the apartment.  We did some cleaning, as we hadn't really done that since BEFORE the boys showed up for Labor Day Weekend.

We're going to reinstate Game Night on Wednesday nights - we played cribbage for the first time in a LONG time last night.  Aaron figured the reason Game Night disappeared during the summer was from a multitude of things.  Being busy, it just being unreasonably hot in the apartment, Aaron starting to play World of Warcraft again.  So it'll be nice to have our Game Night back!

That's about it for now.  Until next time!
