Hello!! It's been a full week now since, I've last updated and we have officially passed the 7 months left to go mark and now it's like 6 months and some weeks and some days! Woo Hoo!! But, according to my little counter on Weddingbook, we have 208 days left before we're married!!! Just think, we'll be out of the 200's soon! I can hardly believe how fast Christmas is approaching and you know that whole idea that I had about getting my shopping done BEFORE Thanksgiving...well....it's definitely NOT going to happen. I have purchased and order just one present! Well.....if I really wanted to make myself feel better, I could day 17. I've gotten the Christmas gifts for my 16 babies (students) and then one for my FFIL (in weddingbook terms, that means future father-in-law) By the way, Weddingbook is my new obsession!

Remember I said that the girls and I were going shopping/looking for bridesmaid dresses on Saturday. Well, last Saturday! Well, we went and this is what we fell in love with:



OK, I tried to make this picture as big as I could without distorting but I may have done just that! The bridal shop didn't actually have this exact dress. So my beautiful bridesmaid, Joy tried this one on:

Oh, don't go saying you like that one better because 1- It doesn't come in Tiffany Blue or even a color close to it 2- It's basically the same dress except this one does not have the sweetheart neckline and this one has a ribbon. But anywho, it will be tea-length so the girls can get more use out of the dress. We all liked it a lot. Hope you do too! This brown will not be the color of the dress just FYI. I know I mentioned brown as an accent color but that's not for sure yet.

So the girls got fitted although they were very reluctant but someone made a good point that it was probably best to go ahead now before the holidays get here b/c you know how we tend to stuff our faces with all that yumminess! The dresses have to be ordered by January because of Chinese New Year in February and the company pretty much takes the month of Feb. off and it takes like 3 months for the dresses to get in. This came from the lady in the shop. I just wanted to share in my excitement about the dresses! I'm so glad they like the dress too! That was important to me!

So you know how I called the Florist last week and they did not return my phone call?! Well, Saturday, I FINALLY got my estimate! It's pretty pricey so we'll see what the other estimate is..which by the way, did not come in last Friday like I stated it would. Hopefully soon though!

So here's a little thought to read before I go:

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
