sorry for the long delay

Hi all, sorry for the long delay in writing a blog, aparently some people think I have nothing better to do than write on my blog......news flash! I am planning a wedding, remember?!?!? You know who you are!!! he he!! Ok, so here I am today, and I have to think of what has happened in the last 20 days or so.....lets see, busy busy, I had to get pictures together and music together for our video montage that will be displayed at the wedding, all at the same time, we had all the vendors calling to schedule meetings with us, because EVERYONE wants to meet one month before the wedding...so, we met with the Pastor 2 more times, and we have one more to go, next tuesday. We got a lot accomplished, and I feel that Rob and I learned some things about each other, that was fun and good for us. Then we had a meeting with the Arboretum Club and wow, that was a mess! At that point, I was so freaking stressed that I couldn't see straight, and these people wanted to sit us down with someone who doesn't know anything about us or our wedding, and it all came spiraling out of control, that was my tears at least. I couldn't help it, they just kept coming, I think the biggest reason was because Rob FINALLY understood what I meant when I was telling him that every place I go to, I am put with the second or third best person, and that was not okay anymore. I am tired of explaining everything when they have it all written somewhere, or someone else knows about it. It just gets old, so anyway, after I cried and Rob said something to them, they put us with the person who knows all about our wedding. It went amazing then, she told us how everything works, and what we needed to know, and we let her know what we wanted. So, that is all done so far. In the meantime I had the run around with the salon that we were all booked through.....it was a nightmare, so I switched salons, and all is good now, I went this last tues for another hair and make up trial, and it was GREAT!!!!! We also have met with the DJ, and we are now accumulating songs to be played, and also met with the organist, and I am so excited, she was great, and really knows her stuff!! I had a few dress fittings and now I have my dress back, and it fits perfectly! I can't wait to wear it!! It is getting sooooooo exciting! Today, we have the programs being printed, and they will be ready for us on wednesday, then I can start tying the bows on those too! Jordan and Cheryl came over on this last Saturday, and helped me get the favors all ready and all the bows are tied on those, they are all ready to go. Today, Rob and I went to find something for the guys. That was a freaking nightmare, inside Things Remembered, because of course, prom is coming up, and apparently, these high school girls dont have to attend school so they can hang out at the mall when us adults are trying to get things done. rrrggghhh!!!! Now, let me run this by everyone, I have never heard of this, and call me old, but I think it is just wrong! These girls are there and apparently it is some kind of tradition now that the girls buy their dates a flask for a prom gift, now tell me if that makes sense, these guys cant drink for at least 3 more years, WTF? Anyway, I think thats about it for now, not much else to say except that OMG it is only 12 days away!!!!!! Live, Laugh, Love

Busy busy weekend...Tues and Weds!

So, my weekend of Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty busy this week! Tuesday, I went shopping with Jordan and the kids, then we met Brian at the tux place in Schaumburg to get measured, where they were not so nice to us at first, so once I spoke to the guy like he was speaking to me, I think he got it and started treating us a little better....we did LOTS of shopping and then ate at the Cheesecake Factory. It was yummy as usual! except that the only cheesecake I like is their pumpkin cheesecake and of course, they only have it in Nov and Dec.....so I got no dessert, but thats ok, cause I couldn't finish my meal, probably because either a) it was FREEZING in there or b) the guy practially took my plate out from in front of me.....anyway, got some stuff we needed that day. On Wednesday, my sister and I had an appt at 1:30 for Kim's second fitting and my first one!!!! Yay!!!! They went pretty well, but first I have to tell you what we did before our appointments, we went to JC Penney to look for a dress for me to wear to my shower. Libby says I have to wear a dress, well she and everyone else knows how much I love wearing dresses! I don't!! Ok, so I am going to fancy this idea and see what I can find at the store, I went one other time and found a pretty off white dress that was cute, but a little big in the top area, and under my arms. So I tried that one on for my sister, and a whole bunch more, we probably had about 6 dresses at first, and Kim liked 2 out of those, but I still wasn't sure. So we went to see what kind of shirt we could find to go with this little jacket thing I found, we tried that for a while, then gave one last look at the dresses, and Kim found this one and said let's just try it, and I found one more, so between the 2 dresses, we loved them both! But Kim liked the first one, the one that she picked, it is strapless and very cute! Then I tried them both on with the little jacket I found, and the one she picked was SUPER cute with the jacket. So, that's what I got! I LOVE it and when Libby called I made sure she knew that she should thank Kim for being patient with me and helping me pick out a dress!!! Yay! I am excited about the shower, and can't wait to see those of you that can come there!!! Ok so on to the dress fittings, Kim's was a little too small for her the first time we went for her fitting, because they measured her wrong, well, thank goodness, the lady at the alterations place was amazing! this time it was a little too big on her, and so we know when we go next time, it will be perfect!! It looks sooooo much better on her than before!!! So excited! Ok so on to mine, I of course got the lady that doesn't speak much english, and she is very abrupt and not so kind, well I know this is my first fitting, and so we will see how the rest go with the other lady that I requested from now on, she is the one that worked on my sisters dress, and it turned out amazing! Well, this time the abrupt lady worked on my dress, but she didn't seem to care too much, she was really sloppy. So, lets just see what the dress is like when I go for my second fitting. Hopefully ok! Live, Laugh, Love!
