Happy May!

Hello everyone! It's may 1! Happy May 1! The sun was bright today and it was b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. outside! Maybe this Wisconsin winter is finally over! (Knock on wood!)

After several weeks, I finally have a few wedding updates to tell y'all about. Life has been so crazy lately! Not only am I in school full-time, but I am working about 36ish hours a week. I feel like between creating lesson plans, presentations, and running around at work, I barely have any time to myself!

First, I went to go try on a few more dresses. I went back to the original store where I tried on THE DRESS, but I wanted to be absolutely sure. After trying on many more dresses, I think that I've decided I still want that one. So did I get it? Not quite. But, I am able to place the order over the phone at any time, and while I was there, they did measure me and tell me which size to order it in.

Why the hesitation? To be completely honest, I'm not quite sure myself. I found a dress I love, but I really, really, really want to be sure it's still THE DRESS. I think there are one or two more stores that I want to quickly take a look at, and if I am still sure after that, then I will go through with it and place the order.

I am a weirdo. I know. But for me, the dress is the biggest deal. I want to make sure it's perfect.

Speaking of perfect dresses, I absolutely loved Kate's dress. I'd totally wear that, especially for a January wedding! If I were thinner (and if I actually knew her), I would totally ask to borrow it!

Ok, one final BIG piece of wedding news... today Matthew and I got our rings! A few days ago at work, I hit my hand on a metal drawer at work (and it really hurt!), and I took a giant chunk of metal out of my engagement ring! Since the store that Matthew purchased it from guarantees their settings, I wanted to have it checked to make sure that the stone wasn't loose or the prongs were bent. Well, today we went to have it looked at, and while we were waiting we were browsing, and one thing led to another and we got our rings! I sort of had an idea about what I wanted for my wedding band, and so when we were there, we looked at what they had, and there was one particular band that went so beautifully with my engagement ring setting that I knew it was the one! The downside? I have to wait 251 days to wear it! I can't even completely try it on, because it needs to be sized up! Darn you, fat, German fingers of mine!

Anyway, the ring is sitting in an undisclosed location patiently waiting for me. I am so antsy! I want to wear it!

Why couldn't dress shopping be as easy as finding my ring?

That's all for now! Maybe I will put pictures of my new bling next time!
