mini - vacation

We're off to Chicago again (Pixel, Greg and I)... pix and I are tagging along on a business trip of Greg's, We couldn't pass an opportunity to stay for free. I'm really looking spending time with Greg, visiting with friends including one of my bridesmaids (Hannah), shopping (duh) and some good good food. Wedding related... bride maids jewelry is finished. Yeah, I made this too :) sneak preview!

i should have purchased the shoes when i had the chance... they are no longer listed on zappos and I never wrote down the brand name or anything. I guess it just was not meant to be.

I committed

to a dress. finally I know. Yesterday felt like the most productive day yet.

Ordered a dress (from septembers bride - only the best store in the whole wide world!)

Hired a Florist

Booked a Baker for the Cake

Really now, all my major stuff is complete. Holy cow.

I will not be putting my dress on my blog, however, the only person I'm really keeping it secret from in Greg. 

I'm sooo excited! I want to get married tomorrow.

sigh...

this is how I'm feeling after a long, and pretty productive weekend. I wish I had the energy to blog about all of our adventures but i don't. We have not booked anyone yet... waiting on quotes from florists... Loved 2/3 florists! Cake was a whole different story.

This Friday I will be going to Septembers Bride to check out their trunk show... i might just be ready to order a dress... oh my!
