Wedding Season.....again

Another year, another wedding season. Last year, my weddings were in the summer; this year, it's fall themed. I'm excited about this year's weddings...more so than I was last year (even though I think I'll have the same date situation...who knows, maybe I'll find one this year), because one wedding is my best friend, and I'm in it, and the other is my cousin and is out of state. The out of state is in Alabama. I've never been anywhere even close to there, so I'm excited to see some different scenery. I also get to go on an airplane for the first time! WooHoo! 24 and never been on a plane. I've just never had the reason or opportunity. So, I'm excited. I'm going with my mom, brother, and sister.....we'll see how that goes. We should be able to get along well enough for a 3 days....I'm hoping. No, we'll be fine. My best friend's wedding is going to be wonderful. We went dress shopping yesterday with her mom, and she bought the second one she put on. It was brand new and she was the first one they had seen in it. She looked absolutely gorgeous. I spent more time in the dressing room than she did!! We laughed about it. I tried on 4 different skirt styles, like 6 different tops, in 3 different sizes, but we found the perfect combination for my body type. It's actually flattering; which is saying a lot! Anyone who can design a dress that flatters my body, is a genius. Here's the dress; in the color for the wedding

Well, that will give you some kind of visual. Just put my face and big hips on it, and you'll have a more accurate image. I wish her hands weren't covering the front...stupid fake person model. The top is scrunched so it makes the front look flat. I'll probably have this cute little sweater thing that is 3/4 length sleeves and pretty much just sleeves for the wedding (it's outside in September, so it may get chilly). They were super cute on the girls in the catalog, and it would cover my flabby arms. It's funny, I tried on one size top and neither me or Erin could zip it, but the consultant came and zipped it right up. Of course, I couldn't breath...but, then I tried on the next size up, and it was a little loose in some places. Go figure! The skirt fit really nice though. It will only need hemmed a little depending on shoes (I'm thinking ballet slippers, its not like anyone will see them, and I'm ok with being short. Besides, at my sisters, I almost took the shoes off during prayer and was just going to hope no one would notice I shrank 3 inches!) I am hoping to lose about 15 pounds before the wedding. I am signed up for 2 more races, that I'm only hoping to beat my time from the first race (the official being 1 hour and 22 seconds), so that should help some. I'm trying to eat better too. Anyways....I can't wait until this wedding. It's going to be a lot of fun. And I'm so happy for Erin and Bryan. If you're interested, here is their wedding website http://www.ewedding.com/sites/erinandbryan . (Erin, if you want it taken off my blog, just let me know. It's not like many people other than you, Delilah, and sometimes Suzanne read it...lol. But, let me know, I won't mind.)

Well, that's all I have right now. I think I'm gonna go eat a hot pocket :)
