The Search for my dress....




I went to David's bridal and there wasn't a huge selection of yellow dresses. My friend told me to take a look at Nordstrom's Dress Shop (www.nordstrom.com) and low and behold the dress that I imagined was there. It is by Mary L Couture... and it is the right color and also has my size. I'm going to Nordstrom tomorrow to see if they have it in stock or if they can order it for me. Also, looking thru there website, I found another dress that I like too. It is very simple, but I really like the shoulders and the back. It's made by JS Boutique. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think... Dress 1 or Dress 2 ???

Bride's maid dress

My cousin is getting married in August and she's asked us bride's maids to find our own dresses. The color scheme that she wants is yellow. I've been looking everywhere for a nice yellow gown, but I haven't found one that I like. The ones that I've seen are all too puffy plus I'm pretty petite so I can't find my size either. I have an idea of the perfect dress in my head, but finding it is the problem. Maybe I'll look on the David's Bridal website... Wish me luck (but I have until Aug... so i'm not that worried yet.)

30th anniversary

My parents are so sweet to each other. I hope when my hubby and I get to our 30th anniversary that we'll be like them. For their 30th anniversary, they decided to take a cruise to the Bahamas. I was surprised how affordable the cruise trip was for them and they were lucky becuase this is a brand new ship that they are traveling on. Also, the best part is that the cruise line docked here in Norfolk so they didn't have to travel to Florida to get on. How exciting for them ! Plus, I wish them another 30 more years together.

I can swim !

For the past month, I have been taking swim lessons. I can finally swim, but I don't know if I could swim in the deep end though. I'd like to take another session though so that I can work on my breathing techniques. When I run out of air, I doggy paddle and it takes me awhile to get back to my stroke. I'm so glad that I did it. I completed one thing that I had on my Life List.
