January
Boy what a month, sales sales sales! I Just love sales! LOL��I caught a 50% off sale at Hobby Lobby. I bought things for the wedding. I bought table decorations, our top piece, ribbon, more ribbon, stickers, trinkets for the receptions, and hair pieces for my Maid/Matron of Honor. Then I went to a local store and got flowers (pink tulipts. And 3 different sizes of Calli Lillies at 40% off. They are better than I could have imagined. They are beautiful.
At the end of the month some of the flowers and ribbons got to go to Albq NM where my Aunt Clara helped dad start on some of the flower arrangements. They made a little boutiner for Wyatt and made a coursage so we have one to start with. Things are really coming together.
I have also been to a bridal show. Good thing I am so prepared, I would have been totally overwhelmed with the whole experience. I was only there looking for a photographer. That is really what I am down to. WE still have tuxs to get and dress for the ladies but I am feeling really good about the whole thing.
Goals are to have all the flowers done by the end of March. Invitaions then too. I am going to have ladies of the church help make the invitations.
February
Well I have now been on Weight Watcchers for 14 weeks. I have lost almost 15 pounds and have dropped 2 to 3 pant sizes. Which means the dress no longer fits. Not sure what is going to happen. Have thought about putting it on ebay and trying to sell and by a new one for the new skinny me ;) I have an appointment in March and we will see how that goes and I will decide from there what I am going to do.
March
Well lets see�..Alot has happened this month.
I got all the invitations cut out, just having to get them put together. Thanks to my dad, mom, sister and family friend Carla they worked on them during spring break and got them all put together. I will be working on getting them addresses and mailed during April.
Took dress in the Saturday of Spring Break, my greatest fear was I had lost so much weight ( close to 15 pound and around 15 inches total so far) that they could not take in the dress that much. Well we (Julie and I ) went to Davids bridal and once again it was comical on the putting on the dress. Each time it does get easier and less laughter�lol
I put it on and had to hold it up to step up on the place to get measured. Well after 2 inches on each side, 2 inches on the bottom, 3 buttons to hold train in place during the reception. And 300.00 to get this all done! That part I almost croaked on LOL�Never thought it would be that much to get dress altered. 120.00 just for the hem! Oh well. I go back in May to see about it again. For a total of 3 fittings. I told the lady I was still losing weight and she told me keep going and she would fix it!
We had a great trip in FL for spring break, although it was a reality check when I was MAMMED>�..Long story short, a cute YOUNG lady asked me �Mame would you please watch my stuff for a few!� I was just getting over being told I am old then she did this! I really had a hard time it��Dennis LAUGHED!!!! Which got him into trouble
But over all we had a great time and a very relaxing time. Really had a great time with Uncle Sal and his wife Marva. (March Continued on Next Page)
