Firstly....Kyle and I decided on a wedding venue! We went to see the Cotton Room last week, and while it was a beautiful venue, Kyle was not impressed by tape holding some beams together, I was underwhelmed by the event planner who showed us the building, and my mother had concerns about the food. Cotton Room = nixed. I swear I literally looked into every wedding venue in a 30 minute radius from Raleigh, and only one was perfect... Fearrington. However, Kyle had never been to Fearrington, so he, my mother, and I made a lil trip to Pittsboro this weekend to show him all the potential ceremony venues there, the barn, and the village in general. He loved it (duh). I AM SO EXCITED AND SOOO IN LOVE WITH OUR VENUE! I am working on the contract this week, so we can lock in our dates and prices for November 7, 2015! Then I can kick up my heels and chill for another year or so hahaha. Look how beautiful Fearrington is!

I'm just so excited, I can't even stand it!
The other bit of exciting news for the week is that my mother booked the apartment we will stay in for WEG in Normandy next year!! It is super cute, in the middle of downtown Caen, and is just a 15 minute bus ride to the stadium where most of the event will be held! No hour long commute like we did when the WEG was in Kentucky! Now all we have to do is wait for the tickets to go on sale in August!!
Apartment in Caen!

Finally, please keep my (great) Aunt Marion in your thoughts! She had a big surgery last week, and will be a Duke for at least 7 days. She hasn't had any complications or problems so far, here's to hoping it stays that way!
