We've got STDs, People.

No. We have not contracted some horrible disease! We have (almost) finalized our Save-the-dates. Yes, it's probably one of the worst wedding acronyms ever (and there are plenty), but it is what it is.

Yesterday afternoon we met with our South African friends, Claire and Kait (ridiculously creative sisters) and hashed out a plan. They showed us what they've come up with, and besides a few minor adjustments, we were really pleased with their ideas. While they designed a 100% digital card, Matt and I wanted to be a bit more crafty with some parts of it, so we're combining the two. They're designing the basic fonts, layout and colors and we're adding a few more scrapbooky details. We can't wait to put it all together!

After the brainstorming session Matt and I headed out to old downtown in Daejeon to one of our favorite stationary shops to by a paper cutter and some supplies.  It's real now! We have something to look at, work with, rearrange, print, cut, paste and process. We're super excited to get this all going!

Our goal is to send them out before the holiday rush, so we plan on mailing them home to my mom no later than mid-November. Then she will send them out from there. 

On another front, I'll be sending my dress measurements in in just TWO weeks! Although I am not at my goal weight, I'm confident that adjustments can be made when I go to try it on and also when I go home to Maine. I'm not worried, just anxious! It's crazy how someone in Vietnam is going to start making my dress in just a few short weeks!

To come: more on fitness (which I'm determined to increase!), healthy eating and the 12 week push to our SouthEast Asian adventure!
