I'm not sure why, but I'm overly excited for Christmas this year. Even before Halloween, I've been in the Christmas mood. I think this might be because I will really be able to enjoy it without the worry of an upcoming semester of grad school. I also get a lot of time off of work--from December 24 all the way until January 3. I'm so lucky. That's 10 days! I love the feel of Christmastime, too. I love going to the mall when it's busy, when it's all decked out in lights, red, and green, and when it smells like roasted sugared pecans. I love being cozy inside when it's cold outside. Can't wait!
So... a new development with Evelyn Chapel. I had the brilliant idea of contacting the chaplain again to see if we can book two times (10:00 am-1:00 pm and 2:00 pm-5:00 pm) in order to have enough time to set up and take pictures before we have the ceremony at like 3:30. I offered to pay double, since that's how much it's going to cost if we have it at Calvary UMC anyhow. I haven't heard back from her (the chaplain) yet, but it seems like her main concern is how much decorating we're going to do. I hope she says yes, because I would be so happy to have it there and the whole issue with having too much time between the ceremony and reception wouldn't be as big of a deal (though we'd still have a little time, just to take pictures and travel and whatnot).
If Evelyn doesn't work out, we're definitely having it Calvary UMC. I think it is perfect enough and I really think that I've exhausted my options and there are no others that meet as many criteria as CUMC. I really hope by the end of next week that we'll have our date set. I still can't believe that it's taken this long even. I'm just ready to move on from this portion of the planning!
