We’re less than 3 months out. I’m still crazy. We’re supposed to be picking up my dress this weekend.
We found the Bridesmaid Dresses that I really wanted on the internet. My mom’s grabbing Charlotte’s (which is vic.lilac/lilac) off of eBay for about 1/2 the in-store price. Sara’s, (which is peridot/celadon) we’re trying to get through [...]

In High School it was a bit of a necessity. My parents would get up to deliver newspapers at 4 or 5 am and they weren’t terribly quiet, but also I needed to get up then because we had one shower for 4 people.
In College, first [...]

So, I haven’t posted in 10 days. Sorry about that.
My general excuse is that work’s been crazy, I’ve been crazy and, oh yeah, Wednesday I had a 100.6 degree fever, but I still kept pushing along in my craziness.
