Wedding Dress and Miscellaneous Things....

I don't have many pictures on my computer...maybe I will scan some to put on here. My wedding dress....well, it was beautiful!!! I am not going to post all of the mundane details about it mainly because I don't know all of the fancy words, etc. It was silk with an organza overlay. It has very detailed beading down the bodice and along the train which was chapel length. It was a halter style top and I wore two veils that matched the bead work. One veil had the bead work and the other one just had sporadic simple white pearls. I also wore a tiara that had flowers and rhinestones that matched the bead work on the dress. It was candlelight white (I think was the color). I wore white slippers on my feet which came off very soon after the ceremony was over. The following pictures are not professional but ones that my mother-in-law took during my bridal portraits. I HATED my hair during this, by the way!!! I paid a salon to do it and the day of the wedding my roomate, Christine did it and it looked MUCH better!! Oh, and just a side note...from the time I got engaged to the day I got married I think I gained about 10 or 15 lbs. I am about 30 lbs lighter now than I was when I got married!!!



Miscellaneous

I LOVED LOVED LOVED my bridesmaid dresses!!! They were fairly simple but I LOVED the color! The color was victorian lilac from David's Bridal. The front was just a sleeveless design with bead work at the top and the back was open at the top that folded down making two triangles on each side (okay, that was hard to describe) with the same bead work. They were long and flowing and the girls just looked beautiful in them. Here is a picture of Brice with all of the bridesmaids:



SHOWERS

I had 3 showers. Three of them were in Little Rock and one (lingere) was in Hope. We got so many nice things...some of which we still don't use today!! Here are some pictures from the showers:

REHEARSAL/REHEARSAL DINNER

The rehearsal was...well, it was a rehearsal...nothing big to talk about....here are a couple pictures from the rehearsal...
I had my friend Camille walk down the aisle for me (I heard it was bad luck for the bride to do it at the rehearsal) and I made that bouquet that she is carrying out of all of the ribbons from gifts people had gotten us! FUNNY!!


The rehearsal dinner was so much fun! It was at the La Quinta Inn off the interstate by Otter Creek. It was a buffet style dinner and people got up to say different things about Brice and I. It was a very special time with very special people! Brice's parents did a great job decorating in Disney style! All of the tables were decorated with each "land" in Disney World. It was great!!!! Loved every minute of it!!!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
