180

On Monday evening I had just finished talking to my mum on Skype when there was a loud knock on the door, which freaked me out as the post man had already come in the morning, so I ran to the door and checked the peep hole. Standing there was the Archaeologist! He was back a day early as the people he works with had to leave a day early dues to an emergency and they can't work without them. Was so shocked and happy!

He had the day off yesterday and we got to discuss some wedding stuff. I showed him some other invites that I made thanks to iDiy and he likes them a lot more than the red swirly ones (hence the title 180 - opposite direction!). I won't show them until after they are finalised and sent out (which will be in November, hahaha!) We also looked at suits in some magazines I have and we settled on a 'sort of ' style that we both like and think would look great on him. I browsed online to find some examples:

Suits from Banana Republic and J Crew

We think that getting a nice suit that fits really well (even if it needs alterations) is a good investment, not only for the wedding but in the future. He does work outside and has little need for suits at the moment, but you never know in the future. We both also vetoed the 'monkey suit' option, we would have to rent one and the rented ones are often ill fitting and the material could look shiny.

We also went to the library yesterday and I got out a Photoshop book, Jamie's Italy cookbook and the financial freedom book that the Archaeologist has been reading for 6 weeks. I love going to the library and because of the turnaround, there are often books there that I hadn't seen before. Going there is often better than going to a bookstore. Which is something that we both used to do in the UK, spending an hour or so in Borders on a Saturday just browsing and not buying anything, then having a hot cornish pastie for lunch (even in the summer!). It never got old.

On the knitting front I almost finished the Talia vest, I have done the edging of the two armholes but found out I bound off too tightly so it needs re-doing. :( Cobblestone will be picked up again when the Archaeologist goes away again and it's getting cooler so it's easier to have on my lap.
