let's hear it for hotel blocks...

eamon and i are going to joe and karla's wedding in october, prior to him leaving for greenland. a bunch of our friends from fort collins will be coming, so i am very excited. especially because it is in newport!

i heart newport, which is only about 35 minutes from my house back home. but because it was so close to where we will be, booking a hotel was not a big priority for us. it just kind of went to the back of my mind. i thought eamon was going to book it, and he though i was.

we got the save the date months ago, telling us to get one now because it is during columbus day weekend and oktoberfest. when i checked today there was nothing available that was close to the reception. but when i called the hyatt regency on the phone, they told me they had two rooms left for the tobin wedding. hooray!

can't wait to show everyone around newport - it's such a fun place and it really is beautiful. samantha and i go out on "dates" there and did a lot of alcohol promotions downtown. they have really great shopping (including my ex's family store "Christmas by the Sea"), so i better find a job!
