I know I haven’t posted in a week, I have been crazy busy. I was in the field for Wednesday to Friday of last week working long hours, so I really haven’t had much spare time. Each evening I came home covered in gasoline (from feeding the generator) and leachate, so I headed straight to the shower and I just didn’t have much energy to do much other than plant myself on the couch and watch tv. Luckily, the field portion of that job is finished, so now I am back in the office again.
I had my dress fitting on Saturday and I don’t think it really could have gone any better. My mom and Oma came with me and I was a little worried that the dress would be too small. The last time I tried it on was in February and it was quite snug back then. I am about 4 pounds lighter now though and I think wearing the right undergarment made a big difference. When I put it on at the fitting, it fit perfectly in the waist and the length was perfect as well. It was only a little tight in the shoulders, so they are going to let the side seam out a bit at the top, just down to maybe half way down my rib cage. That’s the only alteration they will need to do to the dress. Which is great because that won’t cost much money at all! I am so happy that the dress is going to fit! Yay! I go back again 2 weeks before the wedding just to make sure that everything is in order.
Mom and I also went into the flower shop again to order some more flowers. I wanted to have a boquet for at the church as well as flowers for on the cake.
We met with the ceremony musician last Wednesday, which went really well. She is totally on the ball and she will do an amazing job.
My brother Thom booked a limo for us for the afternoon of the wedding. He has connections with a limo company, so he was able to get a good price. He and his girlfriend are getting us the limo as a wedding present. Very generous! It’s a white Lincoln Super Stretch and can fit up to 16 people. Party time!
I am proud of myself that I got all my thank-you notes out for the gifts we received at the shower on July 6th. I think the etiquette for thank-you timing is within 2 weeks for shower gifts and within 3 months for wedding presents (but 1 month is better).
I guess that’s about all that’s new with me in terms of wedding related things. Very excited because it’s less than 8 weeks now!!!! WOW!

I've never been in a limo before! I'm excited! :D
I also booked the week before the wedding off today. Should be no problem.
SWEET! And from the sounds of it, it's a pretty nice limo! Thanks Thom!
That is so awesome that you have the week before the wedding off. So do I. You can come up anytime and we can either finish all the last minute details, or if that's all done, we can just hang out sipping strawberry daquiries ;)
Just don't let me make those daiquiri's... I tend to make 'em a little on the strong side. ;)
Sounds like things are really coming together... you are a super-organized bride! Have fun in the Limo (I must say, I'm a little jealous... I've never been in a Limo). :D
