bridal show...

my mom and i went to the bridal show on sunday, and boy! was it crazy, white & pink, overwhelming chaos! but i really loved every minute of it... i signed up for a lot of giveaways, got a LOT of great ideas, and (potentially) found my dream dress! :)

on the dress front, we saw a lot of cool dresses during the 3!! fashion shows during the bridal show, so all the places showcased are on my list of places to visit before i make a final decision... i have an appt at davids bridal on thursday afternoon to begin my search (said dream dress will be there!), so hopefully i can narrow down my list of dresses that i like from my tabbed catalog to a couple to get some more opinions! :)

ok, on another front, i've cleaned out my closet and moved my bookcase to the living room and now i have NO excuses to start work on my wedding projects - except laundry...maybe i'll do THAT tomorrow...just kidding! but seriously...ha! this weekend i'll be at tom's house, so if i can get my invites PRINTED by friday, i'll feel really accomplished!

we'll just see if that happens...ha!

wedding planning depression...

i'm having a bit of a 'bridezilla'-ish moment...
nothing in particular has caused it, and it's not directed at anyONE, but i'm just questioning everything and thinking about things. this could be attributed to the oncoming sinus infection.

things such as:
will my wedding go the way i want it to?
will it be able to even hold a candle to the other weddings that have been there in the past?
is one day enough time to get everything decorated/setup?
will tom be able to finagle a sound system outside?
is there a huge to-do list out there somewhere that's specific to ME and me only? ha!

i know it'll work out...if anything, we have a place, a photographer, a pastor, and us. so if all else fails, we just need a marriage certificate, right? at least that much is for sure!

i need to get over this, and quickly because there is a ton of work to do.
plus, i have to help with my friend amanda's wedding that i'm in too!
so, wish me luck and feel free to pass on words of encouragement - i definitely need them.

dress time?! really?!

oh lord! so i've been saying ever since july that i would start looking at wedding dresses in january...well, january is here! crazy, huh? i guess that makes this wedding pretty serious. ha! so i think i'm going to begin the search in about 2 weeks. i definitely will NOT be in wedding dress shape that i wanted to be in, but that's OK! just because i start the search doesn't mean i have to order it the day i try it on or who knows if i'll even find one anytime soon...and that's fine too! :) just wanted to give some sort of semblance of an update...

whoohoo! let the games begin!

just in case anyone reading this ever needs to know how i feel about either of these devices, you can read my other book blog for my biased review. ha!

wedding planning is back in full force!!! :)
going to go check out bridesmaids' dresses up close on wednesday & saturday with amanda - while we look for bridesmaids' dresses for her wedding coming up in july! :)

happy new year!!!

new year's resolutions:

1. take more pictures any chance i get (i'm currently the world's worst at taking ANY)
2. be more spontaneous (this is an ongoing resolution that just gets better and better with age)
3. plan my favoritest wedding ever! (i wasn't sure how else to word that but i know it'll be the best day in our lives in 2010 - so i think it gets my point across!)

what are yours?
hope you're having a great day!!
i spent mine spending more $$ than i needed to on christmas wrapping paper and a really cool sculpture wall hanging thing for our new place next, i mean THIS year!! :)
