We are seven days out from our wedding now. A week from this exact moment we will be at the reception partying down with people we love. It's really just starting to sink in. I am slowly getting things crossed off of my to do list and as that happens the realization of this whole thing is slowing coming. All of the design stuff literally was just finished as I typed this sentence. I can't wait for everyone to see the rest of the stuff. Tyler, my best man, just moved back to Chicago a few days a go, so I have spent a lot of time with him and have made up on a good chunk of guy time that I had lost lately. Things are going great. We still are super busy, but hey, we'll make it.

Added Twitter
So I thought Twitter was possibly the most useless and narcisitic of all web based communication, but I saw how useful it was on Gary and Courtney's blog that I decided to add it. Now I can have a quick update instead of never updating due to lack of time. Oh web!

I Know, I Know...
Okay, the last post was when we were about to leave for Spring Break right? Life has been crazy. Here is what has happened:
Spring Break with Daddy Q and Teressa was great.
We went to the U.P. for a wedding shower.
Cait graduated.
We got a car.
We both worked a lot.
A lot of other stuff.
We are currently 12 days from the wedding and there is still so much to do. We are pushing hard to get through to the day and the honeymoon. A week of just Tony and Cait time. No homework, no work, no schedules, no interruptions, no good nights, no drives home, no looking for parking. A whole week of relaxing with each other. Expected highlights include :
Cooking.
Swimming.
Kyaking with manatees and dolphins.
Beach walks.
Sun rises and sun sets.
Talks.
Sleep.
Rest.
Married people stuff.
It will be so good. Pray for our sanity until then. There is still a lot to do first and today started our two weeks apart.

Almost there
After a long week for both of us, Caitlin and I are now mere minutes away from our first vacation together. I have a cold and she had a ton of school work, but the school work is behind her now and my cold is still present. We are off to Tucson, AZ for a week to visit my father and Theressa. More to come as we enjoy some sun and relaxation.

A Calm Saturday?
I am sitting here enjoying the first quite Saturday morning that I can remember having in a long time. I had the day off of work yesterday and don't have to work until this evening, so Caitlin and I took the opportunity to get stuff done/spend some good time together. Yesterday we drove up to the far north side to eat at the Heartland Cafe and use their authentic (not the new digital ones - analog baby) for our engagement photos version 1.0. We were supposed to have one of the photography students I work with do them yesterday but Caitlin was sick all week, and still is a little bit, so we went back to our original plan for the photos in the invitations. We often use photobooths when we find them, so we thought it would be another cute personal touch. We are going to get real portraits once Chicago gets a little nicer. Hopefully we can take some of ourselves next week when we go to Arizona, but more about that later.
On our way to her parents we stopped at Metropolis Coffee company for some killer drinks. Microroast of the year 2007? Why yes, we would like to have some. They were great as usual. We then proceeded to take "a different route" to her parents' house. We drove through the Southside, through industrial districts, through Gary, through nowhereyoueverwanttobe, and other places like that. Then finding our way to the thrift store from there was another challenge. We even drove over a hill. The one hill in Indiana, which is immediately preceded by Columbus street. I am still holding to my statement that we where in Ohio, but... Anyways, when driving in Indiana if you see a road that is on hill you obviously do not take it, since, well it's on a hill; it obviously is not the street you want to be on. That is until you pass it and see that the street actually is the one you wanted to turn onto. (That last sentence is not following the rules of grammar, because it ends on whatever part of speech onto is, and that is not allowed. I can never figure out how to fix those kinds of sentences, so it will not be changed.) Anyways, we finally made it to her parents, ate dinner, watched The Darjeerling Limited, and then The Discovering Channel before going to bed.
Now it is the early afternoon, and I am sitting here alone as Caitlin tries on wedding dresses. Yes, she is looking for a dress to wear when she becomes my wife. I posted some stuff on Flickr, looked for some stuff to work on wedding invitations and such, read some friends blogs, and found out a bunch of exciting stuff about Antioch, our future church home. I am constantly growing more excited to work with them out there.
Okay, enough for only being able to hear dripping water, clicking clocks, whirring computer fans, and clicking computer keys; I am putting back on the All Songs Considered that Thom York hosted. Enjoy self. I will.

Hello World
As Cait makes us our traditional we-don't-have-to-be-to-church-early-today Sunday morning cinnamon rolls I will introduce to the world to the wonderful, real life adventures of Tony and Cait.
Since we currently live in Chicago, but plan on moving to the Left Coast in a few months, I thought I would set this little sucker up so everyone that we love can keep in touch with us.
The plans for our wedding are coming along quite well, except for the fact that whenever I go somewhere to pick out something, that business establishment chooses to be closed. I mean it's only little things like tuxes and rings, but you know. God has been good to us by using people we love to offer us some amazing things. Not all of it is set in stone, but there will be some major thank yous going out to a few people as things progress.
The wedding countdown is approaching four months and it's crazy to think that soon we will be married. Only a month after we jump in our mini-suv of the future (as it not yet ours, not space age) with two bikes on top, and a hopefully small trailer attached to the back, we begin our journey to our new home. Cait has been offered a position at the church in Bend, Oregon she interned for last summer. There is a pile of exciting things going on there and we are anxious to be part of it. Wrigleyville, this does not mean that we don't love, but God is calling us westward. As for me, we'll see what doors open in the near future, but it looks like a longer stint at Starbucks might be the case; at least for a while.
It looks like the cinnamon rolls are done, so I will end this little introduction.
