Sorry for the hiatus...

Lots and lots has been going on this last month and I keep meaning to update my wonderful blog but every time I sat down in front of the computer I just got writers block. So alas this one may be a bit long but I'll try to keep it summarized.

Lets start with dresses. Oh dresses.. lots of dresses. Big poofy dresses, slinky satiny dresses, halter dresses, strapless dresses, boleros, veils, corsets, trains, colors.. good god there are so many options. Its been a bit overwhelming to say the very least. I think my biggest stress is that I really don't know what "look" I'm going for on my wedding day. I figured I'd try on a few dresses that caught my eye and one of them would stand out as "The One" but no such luck yet. I tried on a bunch at Davids Bridal and a few of them are still on the potential list but I definitely haven't made any decisions. I'm not sure that I'll have that a-ha! moment with a dress, I have a feeling its going to be a more gradual process for me. You know where you try it on and like it but try on some other dresses and end up comparing all of them to the first dress you tried on and that's how you figure out that its "The One". So I guess we'll see how that goes. I was excited that I got to show some of my favorites to my mom while she was up here visiting over Memorial Day weekend. It's funny to realize that her opinion really matters but she ended up picking out a dress I probably wouldn't have tried on otherwise and its now my top choice. I guess sometimes mothers do know best ;)

We've also made some definite progress on other aspects as well. My stepmom has gone all out on our invitations. She's putting together a mini-book of all sorts of cute/romantic/sappy sentiments around our theme that will be a keepsake that you can keep after the wedding. FH had a chance to go check out a few of her ideas while he was visiting his family and said they look good. I can't wait to see the finished product! She's amazing at all things craft related and she's doing all kinds of hand painting/overlays/interesting fonts etc so it should be beautiful. After she gets a full one done shes gonna have it reprinted and then fly up here for a long weekend so we can add the finishing touches on it together and send them out. Not only are they going to be one of a kind I'm excited for all the personal touches. :)

So on top of all of that progress we also have rings! While in So Cal visiting friends/family FH apparently picked out our rings and is having them made. This all came as news to me and I was a bit disappointed (ie had a total freakout when he called to tell me he ordered them) that we didn't get to pick them out together but now I'm kind of glad that its taken care of. I guess he had already picked out my wedding band because it goes with my engagement ring (not as a set but as in they sit next to each other without being bothersome) and while at the store he found a ring that he liked for himself so he ordered that too. Another thing to check off the list.. woot!

So I guess that's it for now. I'm dragging FH to try on tuxes tomorrow so will probably have an update on that soon. Good night all!
