Accomodations

If you’ll be traveling from out of town, here are the hotels for the wedding.




We suggest the Residence Inn Cottonwood. This hotel is near our house and the wedding venue on I-215, and it offers a shuttle to the wedding. Please let us know if you’ll be staying here so we can coordinate shuttle logistics. If you’d like to make a reservation, call (888) 825-3164 and say you’re with the Smith-Tomchak Wedding. All rooms have a kitchenette, and they come in studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom options. The 2-bedroom option also has a pull out couch. The group rate we have negotiated for each option is $100, $120, and $160 per night, respectively (excluding tax).








For those who are looking for a more budget-friendly option, here are some more hotels that are close to our home and the wedding venue:




Extended Stay America on Fort Union
This hotel is not too far away on I-215. Rooms also include kitchenettes. The rate should be $59 per night (excluding tax).






Candlewood Suites
This hotel is also not too far away on I-215. Rooms also include kitchenettes. The rate should be $76 per night (excluding tax).



Econolodge
This hotel is downtown, which is not as convenient to the wedding, but it is still not too far away. The rate should be $69 per night (excluding tax).

Gone traveling

Until March 24, you can find me on my travel blog.

Something Blue

I know what you're thinking, I've already read this one. Well . . . keep reading. This time I had to pick out another kind of blue. After several late-night rendezvous at Home Depot and Lowes and not finding anything we could agree on, Rod and I found the perfect tile at Tile for Less. It was another thing to add to list of things I never thought I'd do: get excited about tile. It was not quite like finding the perfect pair of shoes, but I knew it as soon as I saw it. It's called ocean blue, and it is perfect.

Stay tuned

Well it only took me a year, but I've finally finished blogging about my trip to China. Check it out here. What was my source of motivation to (finally) finish . . . I am going to Honduras in 4 (FOUR!!!) days!

Sweet Flower Girls

Rod's cousins Lainey and Catherine have just agreed to be our flower girls (we'll post pictures soon), and we are so excited! They are such cute, sweet little girls. Unfortunately they live very far from us so we don't get to see them often. Because they are so far away, their mothers will be picking out the flower girls dresses. Here are some simple styles that I like.



1. Children's Boutique
2. Cotton Candy Dress - Ivory Shantung 204 (Don't worry the sash and flower are removable)
3. Snippet and Ink
4. Cutie Clothes - Sage Girls Dress
5. Cutie Clothes - Blue Girls Jacqueline
6. Cotton Candy Dress - Ivory and Lilac Victorian (Don't worry, the sash and flower are removable)
