Bridesmaid Dresses

I have finally decided on bridesmaid dresses! We went to David's Bridal today and 3 of my 4 bridesmaids were able to take their dresses home with them. Brittany's had to be ordered. Plus, I ordered the bolero jackets to go with the dresses. I had originally wanted to have two girls wear burgundy (they call it wine at DB) and two wear pink, but decided today to go with all 4 girls in wine. The flowers girls will probably wear pink dresses. The bouquets will be a mixture of wine and pink roses.

I was very happy to have this settled. I took pictures of the girls in their dresses and they looked so elegant. Plus, I also took some silly pictures of them. They had fun trying on different dresses, and it was neat to have some "girl time".

Now Carl needs to pick out what kind of tux he wants to wear. We will do that either this Saturday or next Saturday. Then his groomsmen and ushers can go be fitted.

We got our Save the Date magnets in the mail, and have already passed some out at church and to family, and I will mail the rest this weekend.

We have just about 5 and a half months til the big day. Things are coming along pretty well. We still need to decide on invitations that we are going to make ourselves, though.

We are very excited for our wedding. Some days I still can't believe that I am getting married. But I am getting married...to an amazing guy that God sent into my life at just the time I needed him. Isn't God totally Awesome like that?

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
