Just another reason I am marrying John Adams Mitchell...

Today I was cleaning...and I decided to go through some of the bathroom drawers and cabinets. I decide that if I tried really hard I could empty one of the 6 drawers out, if I start purging stuff now, slowly, it won't make it so hard when we start moving John's stuff in...soon enough, after some shuffling and rearranging I had done it. I opened the cabinets and I decided to do the same...one shelf...baby steps here, I cleared one shelf... I was so proud when John came over after work I drug him up stairs to the bathroom and I showed him the one drawer AND the one shelf I had cleared all for him...he looked at me, smiled, said Wow babe, you can totally have that shelf back, I won't need it, he drawer will totally be enough.

Engagement Party...

We crammed at least 35 people in my place for a little engagement party...whew hew it was fun...

dress shopping...the battle within...

A cruel thing really...put a girl in a room with thousands of pretty gowns and tell her to pick one, only one! Seriously people, now that's just mean. More painful then jean shopping (yes, there is such a thing)...more stressful and labor intensive then most people's day jobs...more of an internal battle then I ever expected it to be. So many to choose from, such a huge price range, styles, shapes, textures...wow. Midway through the search the battle within emerged...the fight between the princess in me and the girl that dares to walk to her own beat...at every store I had narrowed it down to 2 very different style dresses. The battle between having the fairytale dress and having the more sophisticated, form fitting, flashy dress that not every girl would wear…the one that people would say, “only jumper”…the battle continued and raged throughout the day…up until the 11th hour when I was stood in the dressing room of a bridal store, 45 minutes from my parents house, 30 minutes till closing time with 4 dresses…2 of one style, 2 of the other…wanting them all, having only one wedding day, and only one dress to be had. Over 50 dresses, 4 stores, and 9 hours...i purchased a wedding dress. Which one did I pick…I’ll let you know in 6 months.
