I meant to add this yesterday, but forgot in all the dress excitement. Here is a link to our wedding website, nothing exciting, but here it is...details for all you lovies who are invited http://asmithandrjohnston.weddings.com/.

I woke up this morning (actually Cole woke me up at 6 a.m. - thanks sweet child of mine) and was a little out of it until I remembered that I bought my dress. I just about got up and danced around all excited, just about...but I didn't have the energy so I lay on the couch while my wild child played, screamed and jumped on my head.

I am in wedding planning mode like you wouldn't believe, I want to figure everything out now and not have to worry about anything. I think the next thing is dresses for the girls, then once that's figured out the colors will be finalized and we can go on with the decorating and favors. Speaking of favors, I am looking for some unique favor ideas...any suggestions?

Happy Sunday!!!!!!

Welcome Back!

So, it's been a while...let's get this started.

Engaged, check! Date, check! Church, Minister, hall, photographer, decorator, hair dresser, check! Sounds pretty good doesn't it?!
To top it all off, dress - CHECK!!! Woooohoooo. Today, my MOH (maid of honor) Erin and I went dress shopping for the second time. I had wanted to check out Mia Bridal, a store which I have been looking at online over and over again loving the 'different' dresses, so we headed there first. Such a cute little store, however, I was extremely disappointed in the service. I had check out reviews online, plus heard from a friend how great this store was. I found 2 dresses that I was interested in trying on, so I took them and tried them on with absolutely no help from the sales ladies who sat at the desk and whispered. One of the dresses I actually really liked, but no way was I about to ask questions when they could barely go out of their way to say 'Hello' or 'Can I help you?'. Needless to say, we hopped in the car and headed onto destination #2, Eternal Bridal. What a cute store, with beautiful dresses and amazing, supportive help. Imagine that! I tried on about 8 dresses and fell in love with the first one. Sooo cute! It's a Sottero & Midgley, discontinued and only available right in front of my eyes. Well, I bought it...right then and there in that size. Let's just say I need to work my butt off (somewhat literally!) to look HOTTTTTT on June 5, 2010. I honestly want to go and put it on right this very second and dance around. I have to take it to my parents' house as I definitely do not have the will power not to wear it on a daily basis.
Hmmmm, Rye is sound asleep on the couch, so maybe just this once...
