Yesterday could not possibly have been any better.
For one? I got to put on my wedding dress. After my Mom and Em helped me get into it, (who knew it takes that many hands to put the thing on?!) I was shocked to see that it couldn't be more perfect. "What do you need me for anyway?" my seamstress, Angie, joked. She's going to do my bustle, and steam the dress--a grand total of $50, rather than the expected $100+. I've e-mailed the pictures to several of you guys already--if I forgot to send them to you, please let me know! I most likely just don't have your e-mail address. :)
After leaving Angie's, we went out to eat at Outback for an early birthday celebration for Em, whose birthday is next Thursday. Gooooood food. I wandered around the restaurant under the "I need to find the restroom" disguise, and got a group of waiters/waitresses to come out and sing Happy Birthday to Em. :) "What a sneak!" Em said, as they plunked down a bowl of vanilla ice cream with hot fudge topping in front of her. So much fun!
After climbing into bed, I got on the phone with Ryan. We proceeded to talk, and talk, and talk...for just under 2 hours. It felt like the early part of our relationship, when we were "long distance", all over again, when our phones might as well have been glued to our ears. We've come a long way. I didn't get much sleep, but oh how it was worth it. I can't wait to marry him.
Happy Friday! :)
** Just posted a new layout I whipped up, given that it is October and all. :) I'm not typically a huge orange-y fan, but the orange-hued pictures called for a matching orange-y theme. Mmm, fall! **
You found yourself the perfect dress! And you are a sneak! How nice! Frank and i can't talk on the phone like that. We're too busy or trying to do other things while on the phone with each other:(
