Making Some Headway!!

Christmas and New Years turned out to be great again this year! And here comes 2009, can you believe it?!

Now that the holidays have come and gone, we are back to full swing and knee deep in the wedding festivities! We are just 11 weeks away! Mom, Joyce Sass, Taylor Sass, and I went downtown to the George R. Brown center for the Bridal Extravaganza and can I just tell you how ridiculously crazy the whole thing is! Information overload is definitely an understatement. We saw some beautiful ideas, disgusting ideas, tasted some great cake samples, saw fashion shows, entered in many many drawings (keep your fingers crossed!), and loved every minute of it! We had a whole bag full of fliers from all kinds of venders!

After my dogs started barking, we went to Alfred Angelo to try on my dress :) Yes, it has arrived!! It is more beautiful than ever and I can't wait to see Tyler's face when I walk down the aisle! The girls also helped me pick out a veil to go with and it could not be more perfect- thanks ladies!

Random.. as we were leaving, we saw a tremendous amount of smoke coming from a building nearby and actually got to witness a fire before the whole rescue team arrived. It was really cool to see the firemen show up and confidently make sure their job was done well as they put out the fire and saved the day!

Biggest news on the planning front:
1. trying to decide on a photographer
2. finding out how many yards each bridesmaid needs so we can order the fabric
3. picking out the invitations on monday
4. and starting to make decisions for decorations at the reception

Since Christmas, we have:
1. booked our honeymoon spot- Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico!!!
2. booked the hotel for the night of the wedding ;)
3. started the registry process... looks like we're going with Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Dillards, and Kohls (not completely final yet)
4. and ordered the tuxes for Tyler and his men, thank you Al's Formal Ware

Ok, I guess that's all I have for now- hope you all have a great weekend!
