Variety weekend.

I had a great weekend, for the most part. I did a little bit of everything. On Friday night, I went to a party that a woman I used to work with was hosting. She lives a half hour out of town, so I carpooled with another girl that lives close to me. She drove this time. After the party, we were almost back at my house, and she was waiting to turn left, and couldn’t see around this car, so she decided to just go (bad decision!). There was another car (big pick-up truck actually) coming, so it hit us. Not cool. It just clipped the back end of her car, so we weren’t hurt at all, but her car was and the truck had some damage as well. I felt really badly for her since it was totally her fault, so she will likely have to pay for her damage as well as his.

On Saturday, CT and I went to pick out the tuxs for the wedding. It was very easy to do and I am really pleased with what we picked out, I think the men will look awesome! We then went shopping for wedding rings. I found a really nice one for me. It would be white gold (we could do platinum, but it would be way more money), and has several small princess cut diamonds channel-set in the band. It looks really good with my engagement ring since the diamonds end at the same point along the band as my diamonds do on my engagement ring. So it is definitely a possibility. It is on sale right now too for $250, so that’s not bad! I guess I just have to decide whether I want a plain wedding band or one with stones. I will have to give that some more thought.

Mom and I also ordered the paper for the invitations. I will arrive in approximately a week. Then we will be all set to make the wedding invitations in terms of supplies. All I need still is to find some nice ribbon that I will use to hold it all together. Haven’t found anything I like yet. I think I’ll have to check out a sewing store.

Mom and I also went to look for mother-of-the-bride dresses for her. She found some really nice ones. Definitely some possibilities. I also asked about alterations to my dress. I am going to take it to the place I bought it and my first fitting will be 2 months before the wedding. I was sort of embarrassed to do the whole “I bought my dress here 5.5 years ago, and I want to have it altered for my wedding this year” thing, but they were really nice about it. I also found the perfect tiara for me. I tried a bunch on, and I didn’t really realize until I did that that they are not all the same size. Some were way too big on my head. My favorite one fit me absolutely perfectly though. So, I am leaning towards getting that one. It’s a little on the pricey side ($150), but that’s only $50 more than the ones I found online and I would feel better getting one I could actually try on first.

Yesterday, CT, mom, and I went to a different church to watch my bro Tom play bass. I really loved the service! The lady who is going to play the music at the wedding (family friend for years) was leading the music at this church, so I was glad to see her again and thank her for being my ceremony musician. I tell ya, I absolutely loved this church. It was the first church service in ages where I was disappointed when it was over. I think I will start going there every once in awhile. I don’t want to give up my home church, but maybe I’ll alternate weeks or something.

I worked yesterday afternoon, so I was glad to be able to get some overtime hours to bank for time off.

Back to pole dancing class tonight. I hope I am not as sore afterwards as I was last week. I could not move for days!
