The Bridemaids Party - Basking In Gratefulness

whereabouts: in my bed, laying with Mary Arnold (one of my wonderful bridesmaids) and experiencing complete exhaustion

food craving: iced water

song suggestion: What About Your Friends by TLC & Lean On Me (i’m in a big friend mode right about now)

okay,

so this entry won’t be long to spare both your attention span and my fatigue, but i have to write briefly about this incredible evening. my bridesmaids went above and beyond to throw this spectacular wedding party for jon and me earlier tonight! (my eyes are seriously closing as i’m writing this as mary just pointed out to me!!!) i’ll elaborate further on  the party later, including pictures of course, but just like my title states…i’m simply sitting here in my bed basking in gratefulness for the people in our lives and how well they’ve loved us.

being engaged is SUCH a wonderful experience. i can’t wait to return the favor and shower my closest friends with  acts of service, gifts and time.

thank you so much mary, desiree, emily, katie, julie, bethany and christine for such a BEAUTIFUL, FUN, MEMORABLE night. you guys love on us too well. & there are million more thank yous to come!

 what have we done to receive blessings of this magnitude?

 nothing…

Praise God for the sincere joy we are privileged to experience although we’ve done nothing to deserve it….

 one more shower tomorrow to go! WOOHOO!

Bridesmaid Dresses

DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE TIME CHANGE! 

add one hour to your clock. sorry guys 

whereabouts: jon and i are watching Across the Universe (the musical film that features only Beatles’ songs) with the wonderful kids we nannied for in college 

 

food craving: tiramisu, creme brulet,  pear flavored izze

song suggestion: the soundtrack for across the universe, duh 

i’m so excited about picking my bridesmaid dresses but for some reason it’s taken a lot longer to choose them even over my own wedding dress. here’re some visuals i’ve been juggling with:

this dress and the girl with a creepy look on her face are brought to you by Ann Taylor 

 

jcrew

vera wang 

 this is obviously not a dress within a reasonable price range, but i’m also saving images for an idea of what i want

junior’s department at nordstroms

i would love to choose this dress especially since it’s $68 bucks but it doesn’t come in the color i want 

ralph lauren 

this one is my personal favorite!

 

i love silk dupiani! this is also nordstroms

 

i can’t remember who makes this dress….

 well there it is. i’d say they’re all somewhat similar in a way. i know the basic design of the dress i want, but will i be able to find it in the color i want for an affordable price? hopefully! lend me your thoughts and, furthermore, any dress pics you think i might like. i wish i could find someone to make the dresses for $150 each but….i can’t seem to find anyone. any help?
