Our First Place

We went apartment hunting again last Wednesday. We looked at four places, one in East-burg, one in Mt. Pocono, one in Canadensis, and one in Cresco.

We drove up to the one in Cresco and I saw the chandelier and the huge porch with the lawn and I told Ryan, unless this place is a complete mess inside, this is the place. Great location, secure building, and it actually looks cute.

We absolutely loved it, so on Sunday we brought the parents to take a look at it. All 4 agreed that this was a great place. So we took it! It's a little sooner then we wanted a place (I was hoping to get a place by the end of August) but this place was just to good to pass up.

The guy was actually painting and stuff when we were there, but you can get a feel for the way it looks (look beyond the paint cans and rags on the floor!) The place will be ready at the latest, Monday, May 1st. We may actually be able to get in this coming weekend, or even by Tuesday!

Pocono Record

Thanks everyone for the great comments. It's been two weeks so I thought I should post again, but keep adding to the Top 10 List as you come up with ideas!

Well, recently I've become a mini-celebrate in the Poconos (yes, I am going to toot my own horn a little!). Since starting at Clymer I've had three articles published in the Pocono Record on the library's behalf. The first about arts & crafts; the second was about the proposed increase in library funds being offered by the state; and the last was about weight lose and low carb diets. This article got so much attention, that some guy in South Carolina actually blogged about it on his web site! Unforunately, the Pocono record keeps screwing up my title, so the title is wrong on this person's blog but it's still a cool article. Check it out:

Anyway, back to the wedding. After all that I thought we should actually send in our engagement announcement to the Pocono Record. So it was published in the Sunday edition of the Pocono Record, April 9th. In usual Pocono Record style they goof again and said that me and Ryan were both graduates from ESU. I apparently have fictitious degree in Library Science (not even offered at ESU) and Ryan has a fictitious degree in General Studies (that's right a bachelors Degree in General Studies). But check it out any way:

Top 10 List Bookmark

Okay, time for everyone to break out of hibernation for this post! Kevin (Ryan's brother, Kevin) has offered to make us bookmarks for the wedding as little favors for everyone. So Ryan and I thought it would be cool to do the Top 10 Reasons We are Getting Married in a bookmark.

For this one I thought it would be nice if everyone help out. So post your Reasons Why We are Getting Married in the comment section. You don't have to post 10 whole reasons, just one or two. Whatever you feel like doing.

Here is the invitation we were considering (we are not actually going with this invitation so feel free to plagiarize a little), maybe that will help for some ideas:
