5.18.14 - Picnic in the park

This morning I spent hours putting together an itinerary for this coming week. I'm surprised at how much there is to keep track of even with as simple of a wedding as I've planned. I'm also very excited because the wedding and the days leading up to it are going to be so much fun! So many friends I haven't seen in so long--some I've never technically met before! And several people have contacted me in the last couple days to tell me how excited they are too. Talking about the food and music and set up and the after party--the more plans, the more exciting it is.

Also, recently Jack and I have had a lot more food in our fridge than we normally do. This is mostly because I took any food from the SF house that would go bad between now and when the first renters show up. I'm leaving for MO on Tuesday so if Jack doesn't eat that food between now and when he joins me it'll just be wasted. SO. Today I also made an elaborate fruit salad and an elaborate actual salad, and I threw in the gourmet cheese and crackers (elopement gift from the professor I work for!). Then Jack and I enjoyed the lovely weather by having a picnic in the park!

Alas, I didn't take any pictures. But here's a picture from Google Images "cheese picnic," which is kind of what it was like.

He has a big final tomorrow and he spent a lot of the picnic studying. I worked on my long overdue scrapbook (I'm so far behind) and generally had a pleasant time. Plus, any time I make Jack delicious food he gets really happy and tells me what a great woman I am, which is kind of funny. In fact today, when he discovered there was turkey bacon in the salad, he told me to name anything and I could have it, because I had given him bacon. Ha. If only that were true. :-P
