Happy Birthday Blair!

Oops, dress is here

My dress just arrived! I spoke too soon...but it's still 2.5 weeks late--JERKS!

WHERE THE *&#^&$ IS MY DRESS?

We are now at 2.5 weeks overdue and my dress is still nowhere to be found. The shop alleges that it finally arrived in their store last Friday and that they sent it to me on the same day. This was after I talked to them on Thursday and they said the manufacturer would be sending it on Friday and would take 7-8 business days to arrive to the shop in North Carolina. So I'm not very confident that they have any clue what they are doing.

I am also now on appointment #2 for alterations, had to cancel the first one, and if the dress doesn't show up this week, I'll have to cancel appointment #2 also. But I guess that gives me more time to (try to) starve myself. Damn you food, why are you so delicious?

Beware people, I might end up wearing this down the aisle:

47 days and counting!

I have gotten lots of things done lately, so many details, so little time!

• Got both of our wedding bands
• Finalized cake flavors (this cake is gonna be awesome!)
• Booked shuttle transportation for guests from hotel to River Creek and back

Still left to do:

• Get marriage license
• Sign contract for rental items (chairs, linens)

Nothing major though, just lots of mundane details! I am getting pretty excited and can't believe it's just around the corner!

Bridal Shower!

I'm sorry it's taken so long to update the blog--it has been a busy month for me and we're inching closer to the wedding!

Two weeks ago my awesome bridesmaids threw me a wonderful shower. Lots of people came from near and several from far, which was so wonderful! I had a great time and appreciated all the great gifts I got, but especially enjoyed the company.

A really special thank you to my bridesmaids, who put in so much time, energy and effort into creating a great shower for me. I can't ask for better friends.

And another special thank you to everyone who came from far away (Laura, Blair, Laurie, Karen, Kim & Ayden, Meg) to share my special day with me. I had the best time!

LOST

I know this isn't wedding-related, but I couldn't go without commenting that the best show on television finally came back last night! It's been a long 8 months without my friends Sawyer, Jack, Kate and Hurley and I was happy to see it return, even if it is only for 8 episodes (damn you WGA...)

I don't want to give anything away b/c I know several of my blog readers are a couple of seasons behind (ahem, hurry and catch up!) but it was good stuff! And of course, as usual, it just prompted a trillion more questions. So if you would like to discuss, just e-mail me.

Oh and plus, looking at this every Thursday night isn't too shabby either:
