Life Update

Work:
Today was some major blah and emotional. One of my co-workers in my department passed away on Friday very unexpectedly. So, we're all trying to cope while still gearing up for season to officially start in 3 weeks. There is a lot going on. Our new intern starts on Monday which means more training in my future.

Personal/Home Life:
Pretty good. JD had an upset tummy from a bone that he loves a few days ago. He was very sad to see me take it away from him. I finally found time to really clean my house. All that it took was strangers to be coming to my house to interview me. Lots and lots of fun things in-store this week. Round Rock Express game tomorrow night with C's family, Wicked on Wednesday with my mom, C's mom's b-day on Thursday, and C's softball tournament on Saturday. Very busy. Full review of Wicked coming! Next week I have to travel to the oh-so-wonderful town of Bryan, TX to testify in a drunk driving accident. I was so stressed about this and I still am. I know I didn't do anything wrong, but it's still nerve wracking. Gahh...

Wedding:
I got a lot done this weekend. Trying to get my mind off of the events going on at work I focused on wedding planning.
1. Picked out rentals
2. Picked out linens (got talked out of buying them by my mother, who has been on a saving kick money except on this..weird I know)
3. Got two floral quotes
4. Ordered my garter (etsy you rock!)
5. Designed and ordered save the dates
6. Picked out the ties for the boys.
7. Went shopping and ordered the bridesmaids dresses
8. Picked out where we are going for the bachlorette party and then second guessed it...Another post topic
9. Picked out the suits for the guys
10. Saving the best for last... I ordered my beautiful dress!!!! {Jumping around and squealing inserted here} 6 months till this amazing dress is in my possession.

Wedding Vendors = Blah

Shopping on the other hand = AMAZING!

I think this statement is a given to most girls. Lately though I feel like I'm trudging through a marsh of mud. I have absolutely no want to plan the wedding, though I have meetings set up left and right. I'm nearing the end of the vendors I need to get, but all I want to do is be a lazy bum...and shop! Shop for shoes, buying my BEAUTIFUL dress {prancing around inserted here}, and all the accessories needed for this ensemble. Not to mention all the other outfits needed for upcoming wedding events.

All of my BMs are getting together on Sunday to go dress shopping. Mimosas and brunch to come before and then watching them twirl around and play dress up for a few hours. I'm excited and their excited. I guess this excitement is rubbing off, since C and his guys are getting together to go look at suits on Sunday too. Who knows what they will come up with. I have a feeling that there might end up being canes and Best Man patches coming my way. While, I think the Best Man patch would be funny and cute, our mothers might have a conniption.

I hope you all have a fabulous week, I know mine has already started off fan-freakin-tastic. I signed the paperwork today to be on salary pay at work! {insert more prancing} (I work for a retail company that has a teeny weeny number full-time office staff and tons of seasonal and part timers, so it's a big deal to land one of the spots)

So off to do more prancing and shopping!
