The Blonde Diaries

Yippee! We booked the Houston Zoo!

I am so excited right now. My wedding planning dreams are becoming a reality. Today, I was able to knock the reception location off of my to-do list (ie booked and deposit paid!). I’ve been keeping it under wraps with most of my friends and extended family but today I can officially announce that Mike and I will be having our reception at the Houston Zoo!!! It is going to be fabulous. I still do not have really good pictures of the room but I think it will just mean another trip over there to visit the critters and see the site. lol Luckily, we are zoo members so we can go at any time for free and just wander through during a normal visit.

I was a tiny bit sad though because I learned that the otters will not be out that night because they “bunker down” for the night behind the scenes. Not sure why they have to go in for the night (it is an enclosed area and they have sleeping areas) but I’m sure there is a good reason.

I found a few pictures on the zoo’s website to share.

So I’m excited. Of course more photos will come. I think the next thing on my list will be getting the cake and photographer situated. I am a teeny bit scared of the flower people so that is on the bottom of my list for right now.
