Tomorrow is the big day! It's the last day of triple digits! That means that Friday will be the first day where the days will dwindle down even faster than they were! I always remember in school where we celebrated the 100 day mark. That meant 80 (or more days if you count the snow days) left until we were free for the summer. We would do counting games and other activities that had to deal with 100. So I guess this means for me, 100 days until I'm free from all the anxiousness! I'm not nervous for the wedding. I know that I'm with the man I will love for the rest of my life, and from spending a few days here and there apart from each other, I know life without him would be boring and blah! I'm anxious though! I'm ready for it to actually be July 16, 2011. I'm ready to committ myself to a lifetime of love and adventure. It's funny how that can just suddenly happen. If you had asked me two years ago, "Are you ready to get married and start a family?" I would have said, "no." Yes, I know that my younger brother got married before me, and no, it doesn't bother me. He was ready. I wasn't then, but I am now. So to my grandmother's friends who told me "You're not getting any younger," guess what, neither are you! So there! That feels much better!
So the shoes thing.... when I bought my dress, I bought a pair of flip flops. At the time, I didn't know if we were going to have the ceremony in Florida or Indiana. But, I had wearing shoes and felt that the closest thing to not wearing shoes, is flip flops. However, I'm now getting married in Indiana, my mom feels that flip flops will make too much noise in the church. I really didn't care until about a month ago, when I tried the dress on with the flip-flops. You see, I'm at a weird height, I'm at the tall end of average and the short end of tall. So I bought the dress that was average to save on alterations. But you see, the flip flops have just enough of a heel that they make me too tall for the dress. So I need a pair of flats to wear for the wedding because I don't like how the dress looks with the flip flops. So here's my problem, do you know how hard it is to find a pair of dressy looking flats! I've searched website after website and have gone to a few stores... they all have 2 -3 inch heels (which no thank you, I don't want to fall flat on my face) but all of the flats they have are boring or not dressy enough. I've been talking to the girls at work about this. One took me to a few stores at the mall and another gave me a wonderful idea. She showed me a pair of flats from David's Bridal and then said I could go and buy some shoe clips to dazzle them up! My question for her was, "what are shoe clips?" Thank God for the internet! So now I've got an idea, no I just have to put it into motion. I love the people I work with. Someone even said to go to Goodwill and look through the clip on earings because they might be just as cute!
