Race to the finish update: Didn’t get much accomplished tonight because Marcus and I decided to have an impromptu date night. And what did we do on our sporadic night out? Oh, you know, hit up Nick’s Bar & Grill and then strolled down the aisles of Hy-Vee for groceries. It’s the small things, right?

I had the cajun cream penne with blackened chicken and he had the pork shank.

I got a call from our DJ service the other day and the owner informed us that he had DJ’d a wedding reception last weekend at an outdoor venue and a disgruntled neighbor had called the cops on them. Inside my head I was saying “don’t panic, don’t panic.” He was calling all of his outdoor venue brides to just give them a heads up so that they could go around to their neighbors and give them a heads up. Which is exactly what Marcus and I had planned on doing anyway. So tomorrow we will walk around to the neighboring houses and knock on some doors. I have also made a couple of “noise notes” as I like to call them, to leave on people’s door knobs should they not be there.

Sorry, we party.

I’ll let you know how it goes! Hopefully we have no major objections.
