We aren't afraid to admit that we are a fickle couple. But after weeks of searching and changing our minds...we were able to make some very important decisions this week! First, we finally decided on our reception venue. It is a botanical garden on a private estate in Vista, California that is actually considered a rainforest by the San Diego Botanical Society. It really is a breathtakingly beautiful site with amazing views and acres of flowers. Here are some facts about the property:
3.2- acres
75- number of feet the canopy of trees reaches
100- genera of palm
25- countries represented by tree fern types
45- years it took Mardy Darian to cultivate his garden
300- tons of carbon Darian says his garden has removed from the atmosphere in 45 years

We have another bit of exciting news...we found a place to live! We'll be in Carlsbad living close to the beach and Gavin's work. We are so excited! I'll post more pictures as we start to move things in...
