I love to hear Randy laugh. It makes my heart smile. As much as he annoys me sometimes by doing little things to drive me up the wall, like play his guitar in my ear singing a song telling me to get off facebook when I am trying to catch up on invites and emails, I love to hear him laugh. He’s so big about it. He laughs like he means it and you just don’t find many people like that anymore. I’m not one of those people. I laugh when I don’t think something is funny, and I don’t like when I think something is. I’m more of a smiler myself.
I got a new wedding dress today. I went to Ross a few weeks ago and found a Calvin Klein dress there that I fell in love with. It was before we got back together or anything. I actually called Sam and told her if it was her size I’d found her perfect wedding dress. Haha. Well the day before we went to Georgia I went back to look for it and it wasn’t there. Last night I went and it was…. I was with T and I told her I just had to try it on. She told me not to because I’d regret it, but when she saw me in it she gasped. No one has gasped at my other dress. No one has said anything other than it’s pretty. She gasped. She called me today and told me she went back and bought it. I’ve been going back and forth all day on if I should wear it or not because the other one is none refundable and I’d already planned my flowers around the first dress and a million other reasons trying to talk myself out of the dress that I loved. I went to back to T’s today to show it to Sam and T made me try it on again. When I saw myself in the mirror I gasped. I love it. I absolutely adore it. I want to get married in it. I want to wear it every day and dance around in it and just be pretty. I feel so pretty in it. I’m thinking of shortening the other one and wearing it to the rehearsal dinner. It’s pretty but it isn’t the one. The new dress is. Oh, and the new dress was $40. I kid you not! Forty Bucks! Wow. You just can’t beat that. Now I just have to find shoes. I found the perfect shoes for the other one. They are very greek. Super pretty. I’ll put up pictures of all these silly dresses soon. You’ll all see what I mean.
Tomorrow, well, today because it’s 1 am, we are finally clearing out and unpacking my storage building and bringing it all home where it belongs. I’ll be so relieved to have my things again. I’ve missed them since I’ve come back here. We are also going to find Randy’s suit. We’ve decided on chocolate brown with an Aqua tie. I think it’ll be pretty. Here’s hoping anyway. Randy should be writing tomorrow (today). He wants to jump in this. He’s running out of time. LoL.
The flowers are coming along nicely. I decided to use fake ones so I wouldn’t have to be making my bouquet the day of the wedding. Talk about stress. I’ll just keep if afterwards. It’s a 30 people wedding. I don’t think anyone’s gonna care if my flowers are real or not. They are pretty though. I’m using daisies, hydrangeas, and renucluous. All my favorite flowers. <3 It’ll be beautiful…. just like my new dress! HA!
Oh! And 23 days!

An Update! We're on again! Yay!
After 3 long, painful, confusing months we are 25 days away from our wedding day and I couldn’t be happier or more excited! I got my wedding dress today which was an awful experience, but I’m very excited about the potential in the dress. It is a dress, but I am in the process of making it MY dress. I ordered a custom birdcage veil from a close friend of mine and I’m going to be wearing a feathered flower headpiece with it. I’m going to look tomorrow to try to find what exactly what I’m looking for. I know that I will be using Gerbra daisies (White) and adding rhinestones to the bouquet. I’m wrapping it in Aqua ribbon and using some rhinestones or seed beads there as well. Now to find shoes. Ugh. That’s not gonna be fun. I see a lot of trips to a ton of stores buying shoes, bringing them home, trying them on, then returning what doesn’t work. I hate that though. We are getting Randy’s suit this week as well. That should be fun. All I know is that it’s going to be grey with an Aqua tie and he wants to wear a vest. Tomorrow we are working on a playlist, finalizing our menu before we go to Alexander’s next Monday, deciding on cake flavors, and calling our venue to get some more details. Randy has been really involved and wants to help and plan right along with me. He has no idea what that means to me. It’s been wonderful. I’m truly happier now than I ever remember being in the pass. We are doing so well.
We are also going to start right after the wedding to start our family. We are both trilled about that. We are so ready to bring a baby to this home. I found a carseat at Sears yesterday on Clearance for $13.99 and I COULD NOT pass it up. Randy loved it. We were both so excited. I know we are probably jinixing ourselves but we are enjoying it. I’ve decided to start clipping coupons. Ther e is an art to it and you can get stuff for next to nothing if you play it right! I’m going to start getting diapers and wipes and things to put up for whenever it happens for us. I want little Alice or Oliver to never have to worry for anything when they get here. Anyway, I’m looking forward to picking this blog back up. We hit some rough times, which I’ll eventually talk about here, but I’m happy right now and I don’t want anything to bring that down. 25 days!!!

Nearly Newlyweds
Here I am, a mere 95 days before tying the knot, and I have decided that I want to document this time in my life with the love of my life. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this will eventually be a joint blog, between the future hubby and myself, when ever he can find the time to jump on the bandwagon. :-)
Being only 95 days out I have felt so many emotions that I simply can't explain. I have a fear and a joy and a nervousness and an excitement that never leaves my side. Now having all those emotions constantly running around in your body makes one quite tired, but that could also be contributed to the awful weather we've been having recently. We took our engagement photos on Sunday and it was, oh maybe 35 degrees outside. Now, I'm sure to most people in the country this is perfectly fine weather to be running around downtown in, but I'm from Alabama and anything below 60 is frigid to me. It was alarming how many thoughts and emotions that can hit you unexpectedly while you are holding your future husband, staring into his eyes, and having someone photograph it. I don't think anyone takes enough time just to look at each other. Not talk, just hold each other. And kiss. :-) It was chilling. I can't remember the last time I held Randy and just looked at him. Just took him in. It brought me to tears. All of my fears came to a resolve, and my stress, for a quick moment fled like it was never there in the first place. It finally became real how close the big day is. I know even if the dress doesn't fit right, the flowers look like crap, the food is bad,the cake falls, and something goes completely wrong that Randy will be standing next to me and that's all I need.
I'm ready. Not without fear, but without reservations. I'm ready to walk down the isle. I'm ready to finally, after nearly 5 years, be his wife. He is my best friend. He has been my number one supporter. He has held my hand through my darkest days, and he's been waiting on the other side when I finally find the light again. I know that he is the one set aside for me. I know when I was born, when I was raised, when I grew up, with every choice that I made, and every choice that was made for me, it was all for him. It was all to end up here, at the end of an isle, saying I do, to the one person that was meant to hold my hand for the rest of my life since day one.
