The invitations will be mailed out soon, but I've had several questions regarding hotel accommodations in Destin. We have 10 rooms blocked off at:
The Holiday Inn Express at 108 Hutchinson Destin, Florida. You can call 830-654-9383 and tell them you are with the Archer/Shields Wedding Party for the discounted nightly rate. This will be available until April 17th.

The Past 2 Weeks
We've had a busy two weeks around the Archer/Shields household. The first week of February I left for an advanced training trip in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The weather was very cold and snowy, but I met a lot of great people from our sister stations and have learned a lot of great techniques that will help me get to the next level in my career.
Then when I got home I received a beautiful invite for one of my Bridal Showers, hosted by Jymme-Lyn, Kelly, and Mom Archer. I .also received my first bridal gift from my wonderful friend/old boss Judy Jowett.
Valentine's Day was a busy but wonderful day for us. I received these beautiful flowers, candy, and bubble bath at my office today. I got Jason a Calloway golf shirt and shorts, Cake Pops, and a "coupon" book with fun activities for us to do together. We grilled steaks, sauteed veggies, and scallop potatoes, and wine for dinner. Then we watched one of our favorite shows together. It was a PERFECT night!
That same day was "dooms" day for Rusty - it was the day to get neutered. I took him to the vet in the morning and he was NOT excited, but the vet said he did just fine. Rusty is doing great, although not listening to the instructions of the vet on not jumping, playing rough, etc... :)

2 Year Anniversary
On January 28th, 2011 Jason went out to the Piano Bar downtown for his 25th birthday with a large group of friends after eating at one of his favorite restaurants, Haruno. As many of you know Jason doesn't like large crowds or going out downtown.
I also decided to go out downtown for one of my friends birthday on that same night and at the same bar. And as my friends know, I also didn't frequent the "going out" scene either. With the help of our friends, Jason and I ended up exchanging phone numbers that night and the rest is history. Jason called me 3 days later and we talked for 4 hours the next several days (this was during the "Blizzard").
I am so excited that in 96 days I will get to marry my best friend in front of our closest family and friends. I could not see myself spending the rest of my life with any other person. The picture above is part of my Anniversary present - I must say that Jason is a great listener. He knows how picky I am, but always surprises me with the perfect gifts. On our 2 year anniversary this year I told him I didn't want to make a big fuss so I came home to a steak dinner, wine, clean house, beautiful flowers, and a lovely card. Exactly what I wanted!
Cheers to many more anniversaries and birthdays.
From our home to yours - Jason and Stephanie
Invitations, Catering, Parties, and More!
The past few weeks have been very busy! Mom and dad Archer came down two weeks ago to start the invitation process. We went to a local invitation place called Paper World and realized we will just make the invitation ourselves! I think we will have a more enjoyable experience. I am excited to get the invitation out within the next 3 weeks! I don't want to spoil the surprise but here is a little teaser...
We are also looking at our choices for catering. We are going to have a buffet style with appetizers, main course, and dessert for our guests. We want to stay local and take advantage of the fresh seafood, but also have food that I will eat ;-) Who knew how difficult it would be to pick out food?!
Jymme-Lyn, Kelly, and mom have been busy planning a Bridal and Bachelorette Party for Springfield on March 2nd. It will all be a complete surprise for me so no spoiling if you know the details!
As of today, we have 96 days until the wedding, so the pressure is on for all the last minute details!
