Puzzle Time!

Awhile back we decided to buy a puzzle that had 1000 pieces! We thought we could sit down and get it all done in one night... so we even picked one with an odd shape to give us a challenge! Boy were we wrong! It took us one night just to get part of the border done! I wish I would have taken pictures throughout the long, and I mean long, process! But here is the final product.



This is on our kitchen table. It stretched out almost to the ends of the table! We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into! But it was fun to spend time together and in the end it was a pretty cool puzzle! We were so proud of it that it stayed on the table for about 2 weeks! We had parties on it and dinner on it! It served us well and was a good decoration! I highly recommend a 1000 piece puzzle!

Wedding Dress

So I found my wedding dress! Finally! After a lot of hair pulling, sweating, ooos, ahhs, no ways, and a few 30 dresses.... I ended up with the number two dress I tried on! I ABSOLUTELY love it! The process of trying on the few 30 dresses however.... okay it wasn't that bad! But I do have to say that the person who helps you with your dress is the one who makes the difference! Amanda at A Bride Beautiful was amazing! (That's where I got my dress) That's where we went first and I'm glad we did! It started my day off good! The next store we went to was way way too busy! Plus they threw my grandma out of the dressing room, pushed my mom out of the way when she was helping me put a dress on, and were helping some bridesmaids instead of focusing on me! ( I don't mean to be a bridezilla, but come on lady you didn't even give me a bra!) The third store smelt like sour milk! I was ready to leave as soon as I stepped in there! The last store we went to had a slim selection so I didn't really find anything there either...AND none of them compared to that first dress! So after 6 1/2 hours of dress shopping we went back to that first shop and tried my favorite dress on again and finalized it! So now I just have to wait! and wait! and wait! I just want to get it and wear it for a bit! I can't wait for you all to see it!
We also booked our DJ and Photographer! So we are getting the ball rolling! I can't believe it's only 5 1/2 months away! I can't wait for it to get here but then again there's lots to do! So until next time.....
