Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Yesterday was a great day. First I met some OLD friends for coffee and lunch. We had an amazing time. I always love getting to catch up with high school friends. It seems that good friends will always stay the same and conversation is easy. I love having such great friends!

I also went dress shopping yesterday. It was very fun because it was my third time going. I found out some NEW things that I like and dislike and overall it was very productive. I think I may have found the one, but I have to look one more place first or I will always wonder.

As I was dress shopping a lady came in to have her last dress fitting. She looked great in the dress, but it was one of the top 3 dresses I liked. Although it was nice seeing it one someone and having it a perfect fit, I felt as though if I chose that dress it would almost be BORROWED. I would not feel like it was my dress... but that's ok because as I kept trying on the top 3 #2 was still my favorite :)

So now today I want to go to one last store to finalize my decision making, but I have to round someone up to go with me! I am sure Katie will go if she does not have work, but who knows what her schedule is. After today is over I get to head to the lake! I am so excited. It is a much needed relaxation period at the end of a long week! The lake is so gorgeous this time of year with its rolling waters, BLUE skies, and sunny beaches :)

27 Dresses

The other day I went to try on Wedding Dresses for the first time. I had a blast and cannot wait to find the one. One of my friends made the comment how she is going to be the girl off of 27 dresses because she has been in so many weddings, but never as the bride. I thought it was funny and almost said well that is not that bad, but then I realized I still want to be the one in a Wedding Dress :) The search continues, but now I know more of what I like.

So much planning

This summer I have tried to plan as much of our wedding as possible. It is so hard knowing I will be student teaching this fall and have no extra time for meeting with DJ's, Florists, etc., so I am gung ho on getting the majority of the planning done this summer. I know some might say I will have plenty of time during the year, but I plan on getting hired at a coffee stand and spending my nights and weekends there working to make some money. The lady told one of her workers she will be hiring in the fall because so many of her employees are leaving for college... so I already know she will be needing some extra help. Pray that I get it! I am almost ready to stop planning for a while but I just love checking things off! Those who went to school with me know I am not one to let projects sit there... and this is an exciting project! I have the ceremony site, reception site, center pieces, photographer, bridesmaid dresses, flowers, invitations, and food already picked out and reserved for the most part... now I need a cake, my dress, men's wear, bridesmaid shoes, gift registry, hotel room, transportation, musician for the wedding, and a DJ... man o man I guess I have more than I thought... and I know that is not all. Well, I guess I better be going to get ready for the day and head out to more stores!
