Well...

Life certainly has been a whirl wind the past few weeks! Work, play, planning and being of what assistance I can to Nana takes up the majority of my days! We have gotten a lot done in terms of planning. We both have our attire, we have the venue chosen and reserved, cakes and flowers covered, brides maids and grooms men picked out, and dancing/music figured out. Now, we just have to find a caterer and all will be more or less taken care of, minus small details and making invites. Other than that, not a lot has changed in my life! I will leave you with a random non-post related picture, though:


It was two for one College Gear day at Hat Club. and since we don't support UofGAY, we had to go with the ASU.

Alrighty kids, that it for now. More to come soon when we get into the thick of the DIY wedding details!

Love and Rockets,
Abbi

Never fear, new post is hear!!

Sorry to my lovely followers, who have no doubt been puling out their hair out over my lack of posts! ;) I, or should I say We, have been busy going absolutely psycho over the fact that our potential reception venue was not going to work. Okay, well the psycho part was mostly me. Okay, it was all me. But, we got it all figured out and can now plan our reception. Woohoo! Apart from that, we figured out our maids and men, got out officiant, mc, and sound guy set up, and... I GOT MY DRESS! Randy also got his SUIT. Heck Yeah wedding clothes!! My dress is big and pouffy, and super modern, and stark white.


NOT!
It's actually the opposite of that. ...Or is it? Well, I can't give too much away as my intended tends to read my blog. But it's amazing. like, absolutely amazing. I can't even put it into words. The story goes as follows: I went with Steph and Jessica (future sis's in law) so browse dresses, and ended up trying some on. I took my Nana and Poppie a few weeks later and we narrowed the choices down to two beautiful and completely different dresses. I was so torn. Feeling that I needed some time to think and a few extra eyes to help make my decision, we made an appointment for two days later so Nana and I could discuss the options, and so that Steph and Julie (future MIL) could come and give their opinions. The day of, I went to church and then to Randy's to meet with Julie and Steph, and ended up flipping through the catalog one more time. THE dress caught my eye. I had never noticed it and I decided I should try it on, since I hadn't tried any dresses of that style yet. It was the first one I put on at my appointment, and my last. It is so absolutely perfect, and so me. I can't get over it.

On another note, my Nana is in the hospital and should be returning home today or tomorrow. She was hit by a car in the grocery store paring lot, and her knee cap was fractured and required surgery to put a plate on it so it can heal. she'll need to be off her feet for 8 to 12 weeks. She is feeling good and we are so thankful that the situation wasn't worse, as it could have been.


well, that was long and wordy. Sorry all!
Stay fabulous, and Never forget (9/11/2001)
