No really, THE dress this time...

So I decided last week (well before that, but made the announcement to my unsuspecting mother last week) that I had chosen the wrong wedding dress. After several long conversations ALL ending in "All I know is that I don't love that dress and I don't want it. You don't have to go with me to look again but I'm going" (wow that makes me sound like a spoiled brat). Preceded at some point by "You were right, Mom. I shouldn't have bought the dress that day. I should've listened to you." Any who, we went yesterday to try on dresses again.

David's Bridal is amazing, in my opinion. They have a ton of dresses and the people at the store by the Hulen Mall in Fort Worth are so hospitable. The best part (in my case) is that they allow exchanges for 90 days. Most wedding dress stores do not allow exchanges. Perfect for me.

I found a dress that has everything that I want. I'm not allowing myself to get excited about it so as to keep a level head and not make a decision via excitement fuel. It is entirely more me than any other dress I have tried on. It's gorgeous and I love it. But I'm not getting excited about it. :)

I go to New York first thing (and I mean first thing.. before the sun) Thursday morning!! Seth gets his West Point ring (I mean bling) on Friday. And I get to dress up in a beautiful yellow satin gown on Saturday for dinner. We may go into NYC on Friday (I've never been.. except when landing and taking off in an airplane) for dinner!! I get to stay until Monday around lunchtime!

I hope you all are having a great summer. It's almost over so soak it up!!

A Catch-Up Post

I don't know if I actually have anything interesting to say. I figured this would be a good way for me to remind myself of what I did the past two weeks.

Two weeks ago I ventured to David's Bridal with my bridesmaids and they got to try on their dresses. I'm not sure what they all thought of them. My sister is shaped one way(not that others are abnormally shaped, just different), so I didn't really think anything about the dress that we picked. I thought that it was flattering on everyone, but I'm not sure if everyone thought that about themselves. We went and ate at Razzoo's and I gave them all bag tags that I had gotten my friend Kirstin to make. She makes them and they are WONDERFUL! And the best part? She makes them to raise money for their upcoming adoption from Ethiopia!

I then thought I would be leaving to go pick Seth up but boy was I wrong. We had a big run-in with Air Tran and them changing his flight and flight cancellations and it ended with the statement "We will never fly Air Tran again." I don't know if this is true because they're so dang cheap, but it was sad.. But then the next day at 11:30am he flew in!

We did lots of fun stuff while he was here. We booked our wedding DJ and went to Schlitterbaun. We had big plans to go to a Ranger's game but we got confused with schedules and went to a Fort Worth Cats game instead. We also went and at at Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth. I had just recently been and loved it and was happy to find that Seth loved it, too! Great restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere!

We did a lot of other fun things like take our first trip to Whole Foods. It is BY FAR my favorite store in the whole world. And it's dangerous because it's less than a quarter mile from our apartment.

He is back at West Point now and I'm in the revision stage of my capstone, but I'll go up next weekend to see him. He is super excited because next Friday he gets his West Point ring. And he got his saber (sword) today, which I think is really cool! I guess there are a lot of cool things in store for him his Senior year!

Ok. Guess I didn't have anything profound to say. I hope everyone has a great week!
