Michael's computer has come home!!!

After way too long, Michael's computer has returned and he is better than ever...new hard drive, new fan, more memory...FASTER, STRONGER, MEANER!!! And thankfully, the blog will once again be updated on a regular basis.

Here's where we left off:
**In our travels, we have come across some amazing people and John Deamicis is no exception. Those who have visited Michael (and soon to be Mitzi's house)on Oliphant Lane know that we are big fans of John's work. In fact, on the first anniversary of our first date, Mitzi surprised Michael with a huge Deamicis collage of all their many adventures together. The painting is on display in the foyer for all to see and enjoy. Well, John has come through again...big time. As a special gift to us, he provided us with this special illustration to use on our Save The Date cards for our out-of-town guests. We are having the cards printed next week. If you are interested, in finding out more about John's art or his new book, visit his website.

**Our confirmed menu came back from the caterer and we gained three pounds just reading it. We are warning you well in advance...wear loose clothing. We guarantee you will leave our wedding well-fed! Can't wait for the tasting.

**Michael is extremely busy getting ready for Mitzi's big move-in this Summer. We have picked out a beautiful china hutch for our first floor and we are getting the walk-in closets redesigned with all sorts of shelves, compartments, low hangs, high hangs, etc. Once the closets are done, it will feel like we have stepped into MTV cribs!

**We enjoyed a beautiful Memorial Day weekend at the Sacks shore house in Margate. Master chef Danny was back on the barbeque, and Mitzi joined Michael for six-mile walks on the beach two days in a row, and several long bike rides! Of course, we also found time to sneak away to Ocean City for some Mack and Manco pizza and Johnson's caramel popcorn. What good is exercise if you can't reap the rewards? We are looking forward a hazy, hot weekend coming up.

**Next week, we are meeting with a photographer and videographer. Both were referred by friends and family. If you have any suggestions, feel free to drop us a line.

**Allesandro the corkscrew arrived from our Bed, Bath & Beyond Registry, courtesy of our dear friend Lisa Graham, and he is even cooler in person!

**Huge congrats to our friends Barry & Erica Crell, who are expecting a special package from the stork come December. We know you will make perfect parents.

**Mitzi is selling off a lot of her furniture. Among the items still up for grabs: an awesome futon with wooden frame (that unfolds into a full bed) and her real full-sized bed. Both are being sold for very reasonable prices....If you have any interest, please drop a line to Mitzi at mitzicjoy@yahoo.com. And tell your friends and family!

**And finally, our thoughts are with Michael's sister Brittany as she gets her wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow. We intend to coddle her all weekend long, and no doubt she will look like a tremendously cute chipmunk. Michael wonders how she will get her two cents in if she can't talk, but he's sure she will find a way. We love you, Brittany.
