There have been several things which are starting to come together, so I thought I better catch everyone up. Besides being busy with Christmas we still had to take care of some stuff for Kris' dad plus we starting shopping for a condo! We were going to original rent a loft apartment in our downtown area which is really cool, but since the house market is so bad in Michigan we are thinking about buying something instead. We have looked at some really great condos that are a real steal. Unfortunately, the bad economic times which have hit a lot of families hard are going to be a big help for us to get a great deal.
Our invitations came in right before Christmas too. Here are some pictures:

(notice the monorail around the tree!)
This is the writing that appears inside:

by your friendship and love
you are invited to share
with our daughter
Vanessa Clair Ferguson
and

The wording for the reception card is as follows:
Brunch served at the Living Seas Salon immediately following ceremony. Illuminations Dessert Party at Eau de France Island at half past eight o'clock in the evening.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but my mom wanted to learn how to do calligraphy to address the invitations. We signed her up for classes at JoAnn Fabrics, but they have been cancelled several times in the last six months and she hasn’t been able to take one yet. My mom’s best friend’s daughter, Emily, who is one of my hostesses was up visiting from Indiana and guess what? We found out that she knows how to do calligraphy! She did all the invitations for me before she left to go home. I am so thankful that she is willing to help. I had bought a calligraphy set and was going to see what I could learn while I’m off work until New Year’s, but thankfully I didn’t have to worry about it.
Now, I'm just waiting for my stamps that I ordered from Zazzle. According to the tracking they will be here by tomorrow.

I'm just hoping my guests recognize all the little details. I also ran to the post office late last night to get the December 31, 2007 postmark on the invitations, we'll see if anyone notices!
and one to send to the President. I printed off the addresses a long time ago and almost forgot about mailing them!
