Just found a link to Dean Gray presents American Edit – basically they took Green Day’s “American Idiot” and took bits and pieces of other songs and mashed them all together.
So you have “Boulevard of Broken Songs” which combines “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” with Oasis’ hit from a decade ago, “Wonderwall” (with a cameo by Aerosmith at the end) And it works surprisingly well 🙂 They have several other tracks from American Idiot worth checking out.

OK, so here’s the latest:
Apparently the bridal shop is having issues getting Emily’s dress up here to be fitted, but hopefully that will be taken care of early next week.

Emily and I have been a little unsure about the housing situation for a while now. We have looked at probably two dozen homes, and all the ones we liked slipped away the same day we looked at them… Franklin is definitely a seller’s market – you can ask pretty much whatever you want and be guaranteed to get it.
So we had signed a contract to buy a townhouse in Spring Hill which was under construction – or was to be soon. Supposedly it was to be finished by December, but as of last weekend, it hadn’t even been started yet. I suggested this weekend that we look at some more houses, just in case the townhouse wasn’t finished by the time we get married. So Emily went out yesterday, calls me up at 3 and says there’s this house I had to see. I got off work as soon as I could, picked her up from work and we drove to the house. Right off of the Hwy 96 exit, which is a much shorter drive than Spring Hill.
Anyway, we go in, and it’s great… a little on the small side, but it’s spotless, has a two car garage, nice backyard, hardwood floors, etc. And the location can’t be beat.
But here’s the kicker – and the typical pattern so far – someone else had put a bid on it earlier in the day, despite the house being on the market for nearly three weeks. And every time in the past, by the time we made our offer, the house was already gone. But we made an offer anyway at 6:30.
At 8:00 we get a call from our realtor Dena, and they accepted! We’re planning on closing November 29, so Emily can go ahead and move in once her lease is up in December. Very exciting 🙂

A lot has been accomplished since my last update… Bridesmaid dresses are ordered, met with Rev. Jacob, finished with the registry (I think), booked the DJ, getting close to a finalized guest list, etc. So we’re whittling away at it bit by bit. Tonight we’re going to pick out the tuxedos – fun fun.
