It’s Been Awhile

Where have I been?

I’ve been sick! Steve and I both have the crud that’s been going around Chapel Hill and have had it for over a week. Not only that, but when I’m feeling ill, I don’t feel like writing.

No wedding plans have been touched. I haven’t been knitting my veil. I haven’t been working on the invites. I have, however, been sleeping and watching TV a lot.

Also, since I’m in my final semester for my MBA classes, I’m trying to stay on top of the homework. Yep, I’m kinda failing miserably at it since all I want to do is sleep.

But I will leave you with a funny picture. Right behind our apartment is a .8 mile long cement trail through the forest. Yesterday 2 women and 3 children were hanging out on one of the benches. The kids were drawing all over the trail with sidewalk chalk. This morning during my 7am Lola-walk, I spotted the following picture and just had to take a picture of it. #randomchalkdrawingweddingreference

outfit conundrum

dresses are David’s Bridal

My MOH and I went last night to try on a bunch of dresses at David’s Bridal. I fell in love with the one above in brown, but in either the silver or champagne colors.  the problem is the varying shades of blue in my outfit. maybe I really do need to pic a shade and stick with it.

my veil yarn is a creamy ivory color and will be edged in a few rows each of orange and blue. pattern progress above. seriously, most amazing thing I’ve knit since I started knitting and 2nd major lace project. Abby’s garter was the first.

I just saw a pair of absolute beauties on Zappos and I’m kinda in love with them… they’re royal blue with bling bling on both straps. Yeah, I think I’m just going to buy them… lol

so which color dress do you think I should choose?

Bridesmaid Hair

This past weekend I tried a new hairstyle. Well, of course it’s new, I never style my hair! But anyhow, I always pull my hair back at work and rarely wear it down. When I was searching for hairstyles, I kept coming back to similar looks.

I was mostly pleased with it. She did an amazing job keeping it loose enough that it moved, even with tons of bobby pins and about 2 gallons of hair spray. My only compliant were the sheer number of bobby pins underneath. They kept getting stuck in my dress zipper and hook&eye closure. Before the wedding even began, I was pushing them back in constantly.. and throughout the entire day.
