It's Coming Along!....

Dustin and I have accomplished a lot this weekend. Friday I picked out colors and Bridesmaid dresses. Saturday I picked out my OWN dress with help from Tiffany and Candace! I also scheduled a photographer on Saturday!! Today Dustin and I confirmed how many are going to be in our bridal party and who we want. I picked out flower girl dresses online but need to wait until Jadyn comes in March to figure correct sizes. I feel like we got so much accomplished and I am very pleased! One of my bridemaids called me today and already went and tried on her dress. This is so exciting! Next Sunday, I am going to a Bridal Extravaganza at the Houstonian. I am hoping to get ideas on center pieces and bouquets. I have a vision but I am also open minded. I wouldn't mind leaving the place with some merchandise either. That's the latest! I would post some pictures of dresses but can't for obvious reasons. Off to bed...

Less than 6 months to go!

I haven't ordered invitations, I haven't found a dress, I don't even know my colors. It helps I know who I want in my wedding party but I don't know how many I can have. I really think Dustin thinks we can just wait and do all of the planning the last minute! It couldn't be that he just wants me to do all the planning because he is too opinionated! He told me I couldn't have more then 5 bridesmaids but I put my foot down and asked for him to compromise.

For New Year's Eve, I went to a friends house. It was fun!

You know what my fear is? I go to all kinds of showers here. I go to bridal showers and baby showers. I would throw showers for my friends and bachlorette parties for the weddings I played a part in. I'm afraid when it comes my turn, no one is going to come to my showers or bachlorette parties. It's like the nightmare where no one shows up to the wedding you worked so hard to plan! Is this normal??

I have good news. My "Required Maintenance" light has been on in my car for the past 10k miles. You may think I'm crazy, but I avoided taking my car in because I am so scared of what the problem is going to be. I don't have a "favorite" mechanic or a mechanic I can trust so naturally, I am afraid I will have to pay $600 to change out a timing belt or something. I took my car to get the oil changed today and I let them talk me into new filters. My light went off!!!! That's all it took! Thank you little baby Jesus!!

I don't have any pics just yet. Maybe I will post some tonight!
