The menu is checked off the list!

Our menu is set! We decided to stop by the Holiday Inn to schedule a time for us to put our menu together. Low and behold, they have a new events coordinator since they hadn't had one for awhile! He was so wonderful and asked us if we had time, we could do it right now. Score! The first coordinator we were working with left shortly after booking the space back in December 2008. He also informed us that in between our first lady and him, there had been 2 more people hired and left!! He has made all of my stress MELT away. He caught my polish last name with the quickness and I think I caught his polish accent just as fast! I almost said jak sei masz which sounds like yock-sha-maash, it means "how do you do?" in Polish, but it's one of the few words I do know in polish that isn't offensive and didn't want to look silly. My Bobcia (great-great grandmother on my mothers side) was off the boat polish and used colorful language at times that I picked up as a child and it was hard for my family to explain to me why I wasn't allowed to say those things in public!

So we sat down with him and talked about what we were looking for and what we wanted. We finally made the choice to have the sit down dinner. You ma recall, I was having issues deciding between sit down and buffet here. Yes, it will cause a few issues with my mock up invitations, but no worries. It will also be giving me the oportunity to place cute little animals on the escort cards! I'm picturing a blue fish, a pink cow, and hmmmmm, I'll have to do some thinking on the pasta. So, what are we having!? Well, we'll be starting with just a green salad,

This is a huge weight off our shoulders not that it's done. I am so happy to be able to check this off my list! It was also Morgans' first day of Pre-K and I needed a good distraction from her passing the milestone from daycare to Pre-K. We still need to make a decision about the kiddie menu since it was something I'd forgotten to mention to him while we were there.

How did it feel when you got to scratch a big need to-do off your list?
