We Found a Church!
November 11th, 2007 |
Today we visited a non-Catholic church that we liked to see if we could have our wedding there. Crystal doesn’t like to go to church, but she was surprised to see how things went at this church compared to the church she is used to going to with her parents when she was younger. I was surprised to see how similar worship was to the Catholic style. After the 11am sanctuary, we spoke with one of the pastors to discuss the possibility of having our wedding at the church. Crystal and I were surprised again to how easy and smooth it was. The pastor was very flexible and did not pressure us at all. After all was said and done, we signed up for the church for our wedding date. We were so happy to know that we now have the biggest things out of the way and booked (the reception hall and church). Now we have lots of other things to book (photographer, flowers, save the dates, invitations, etc.). After going to the church, meeting with the pastor and signing up for our wedding, we headed over to the Centerton Shopping Center. First stop was Pet Smart to look at the kitty cats. Crystal loves cats and so do I, but I’m highly allergic to them. She picked up some information on how to volunteer at Pet Smart to take care of the cats. There were a few kittens and a whole bunch of little doggies getting groomed and waiting to get groomed in the back near the grooming area. We were getting really hungry so we got some lunch at Panera Bread. As usual, they had some samples they were giving away, but this time it wasn’t your regular old bread. This time it was shortbread cookies. We both got a soup and salad combo. …5 Below, Hallmark, relax, laundry, parents, Chinese food, Giant lose, stupid penalties

Bradford Estate Tasting
June 16th, 2007 |
Wow I haven’t posted here in so long. This past week I just realized that as a pro-member of Flickr, I have no upload limit, so I started backing up all of my photos. Since I actually have some extra time on my hands this week, I’ve decided to update the website a bit. If I have enough time, I’ll get to redesign the side, add more content like b(ack)logs from the past. For now, just check out my old photo archives on Flickr. Things at work have been slow lately since I’ve started my new project. Prior to this, I was used to working overtime, on upto three projects at one time. Now, I’m actually enjoying the slow down at work. Yesterady, Crystal and I got some dinner at the Cherry Hill Mall and did some shopping before her cousin Rachael’s graduation celebration at Friendly’s. Rachael graduated last night and won 5 awards including lots of scholarship money. Congratulations Rachael! Today, Crystal, her mom and I went down to the Bradford Estate for our tasting. Her mom hasn’t seen the place yet, so we got to show her around the place before hand. Crystal and I have visited four places including the Bradford Estates and we find that this is the best of all of them because it has everything we want (atmosphere, location, single event hall and good food). We were pleasantly surprised with the tasting. The expectation was a bunch of small plates with a small sampling of the food. Instead we each got a large plate of food with a healthy helping of Chicken Francaise, Broiled Atlantic Salmon filet with lemon dill butter and Chateaubriand Bordelaise along with mashed potatoes and vegatables on the side. We were so pleased and stuffed that by the end of the tasting, we were ready to put a deposit on this place. So it’s offical, Crystal and I will be having our reception at the Bradford Estate =) After the tasting, we all got some ice cream from Lollipops, which is literally walking distance from my house.
