About that dress...

So sorry about the long wait between posts. Things have been crazy at work and I always think of a million other things to do on the weekend. So anyway, here's what I've been up to...
We went wedding dress shopping last weekend! I was nervous that I would get stressed out, but it wasn't too bad. I went with my mom and sister.
I think that for most women, shopping for their wedding dress is the highlight of their lives. They've looked forward to it since they were girls and have a definite image of what that would be.
With me, not so much.
At the first place we went, the woman helping us was great. She listened to me and was patient.
The second place we went to sucked. The woman didn't listen to me and kept bringing me all the wrong dresses. And the gaggle of women who came with the other brides was too much. Who needs 12 people along to look at dresses? Too many opinions.
As many of you know, I really wanted a non-white dress. I just hate how every bride looks exactly alike. And a princess gown just isn't me.
So I looked at dresses in different colors and, well, they were either really ugly or too bridesmaid-y. We even went to Macy's to find a nice party dress or something, but that didn't work out.
But I tried on some white dresses that I actually like. They are still non traditional, no big ball gown for me. And I found one that I really liked!
The day after Thanksgiving we're going to a couple other stores just because we have time to keep looking. By the end of the day I should have a gown!
In other news, Eli's mom brought over a bunch of photos of him as a little kid. I wanted them for the slide show for the reception. I haven't really seen too many pictures of Eli when he was younger, so it was pretty fun. Once I get our scanner/printer/copier up and running I'll post some! He's too cute!
