Explorations in Preparation, and A Trip to NYC

[debka_notion]

Yesterday, H and I went to see a space (the one we're going to use) for our wedding, and had a preliminary conversation with a caterer, for the same. From there, we went to NYC, spent some time at the Museum of Natural History (H adores dinosaurs, and it made a lovely contrast for me- I'd tried to go there with some previous boyfriends/dates, and it never worked- sometimes more dramatically than others. So going and making it there was sort of a symbolic thing for me. After the museum closed, we walked downtown to meet H's oldest childhood friend, whom he hadn't seen in a number of years. So they got caught up, I met Steve, and we briefly met his wife (and I got to hear a lot of delightful childhood stories). I'd been pretty nervous about it, beforehand, but it went well- I was delighted by how easily and pleasantly Steve laughed. Then he traveled with us to where we were staying (fairly close to his home), helped us find hatam_soferet's building, and we said our goodbyes. Seeing hatam_soferet, whom I haven't seen in Quite a while, was lovely, and I was very pleased that we got to hang out a bit before heading to sleep.

Tomorrow- another trip to my pulpit, and then on Sunday, H heads off to Boston to start his training for his job this year...

When is your wedding? I know we've been out of the loop a bit, so I was just wondering :)
How are you enjoying your pulpit?
Take care!

I haven't actually mentioned the date yet- we just picked it, and we haven't signed a firm agreement with the location yet- wanted to check with my parents first. But we're pretty much set for July 3 of this coming summer. (Humorous, as my sister got married on July 4 this year, but the date is So convenient for all the people who need to travel, which is many, since H is from the west coast.)

The pulpit is going alright- it isn't my natural comfort zone, nor exactly what I want to do with my career, but it's very good professional practice, and it puts some money in my pocket (or will when I get my paycheck)...

Lovely to re-connect- I haven't been writing so much on LJ of late, trying to get back into the flow of it.
