THE INVITATIONS!!!

So the invitations...this is a fun story. It all began on a spring day in March, we went to Target to buy invitations. I (Josh) went over to pick out some invitations to send out , and the first ones I went to were normal party invitations (Cassie says they were kid birthday party invitations:-p). Well I, being a guy, thought nothing of it and was like "hey it says your invited so let's pick those," mind you the invitations had balloons and confetti all over the card. Well it was Cassie and her sense of style that took us to a box set of invitations for weddings and things like that, so we sold our bone marrow to pay for them:-p...lol just kidding. We brought the invitations to Matt and Kristy's house late one night after Cassie got out of work and got started on writing down the sending and return address. After messing up four or five envelopes by writing wrong names and last names (Nana and Grandpa Bailey<--for Cassie's Grandparents, and writing Joshua and Bailey instead of Joshua and Cassandra) and having a few laughs along the way we finally got done with the addresses after over an hour of writing. We took a day or so off from writing to let our hands un-cramp and then we got started on the printing part of the invites. We had problems from the start. First it was the paper getting jammed in the printer and then things not looking the way we wanted them to look. We eventually got the printer working with the help of Matt (Cassie's Dad). The only thing was we couldn't print with the paper we wanted so we had to come up with a different style for the invites to look like. After we got that squared away we got the invites typed out and we were READY TO PRINT!!! We printed on all the paper we had and started tieing little bows on the top for decoration and put all the invites in their envelopes, licked and sealed them and had a few left over. Cassie and I went with her family to the Syracuse Crunch game and had a ball, or should I say puck lol...anyway we had fun and headed back to her house after the game. Cassie decided she wanted to check out the newly printed invites and the disaster we thought was behind us once again bouncing on our heads. The invitations were supposed to include a statement telling everyone to bring a dish to pass, and the big kicker was in the directions. WE FOUND A PAVILION!!! and it's the coolest place I think I've ever seen for a party. The directions on the invites will bring you to this location only if you remember one thing, the invites say Aerohead Lodge, notice the "AERO" in Aerohead...that is a spelling mistake, and a very creative one I might add. The actual name is Arrow Head Lodge, same pronounciation just speld like the band (Aerosmith) instead of the weapon (Arrow). Lot's of fun so far, and this is only the beginning:-D!!!
