falling into place




So....I bought a wedding dress!!! I had it narrowed down to two, both would need 'heavy altering' of course, but details...so I went back this past week along with my aunt (also a seamstress) for her professional opinion and made my choice!  I'm very excited, though it won't get here for another 6 weeks or something.  

We booked the place, Fair Oaks Ranch golf club near Boerne!!....well, actually we have the contract (or Brent does) we just need to finish up.  Cakes are done!  We had another cake tasting this past week and both really liked her and the cakes.   Brent, I think, is most excited for this, which says a lot for the cakes since he is a self proclaimed cookie man.  He didn't get his blonde brownies, but  I think he's ok with the alternative.  His will be, and I'll try to describe it exactly how Brent did, a 2-tiered chocolate cake--VERY moist--with chocolate chips (this was very important and asked her several times if this is possible....like we're making cake history here or something, bless his heart), with fudge filling, chocolate running off the sides and adorned in chocolate covered strawberries.  My cake is a creamcheese pound cake with raspberry filling and a butter cream frosting!  They were so good.  Save your calories!

Now, we need a florist, bridesmaids dresses....oh, and INVITATIONS!  I promise we'll get on that soon.  
 
Oh, I almost forgot!!!  Brent worked on his deck this weekend!!! YAY!! Monumental moment for all of us following the "deck progress."  We now have steps! :)

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

9 Months and Counting...

Where have the past 9 months gone??  I keep looking through her pictures/videos from the day she was born and the next weeks that followed...I can't believe how big she's getting.   She is so fun and full of personality.  She has always been an "easy" baby: she's slept through the night since about 3 months, usually follows a (rough) nap schedule , eats all the fruits and veggies that we send her way, she's healthy and generally a happy baby.  Oh, and she's about a 100 on the cuteness scale from 1-10.  She's not afraid to speak her mind; she's VERY vocal.  She is very curious and adventurous; she's crawling, and climbing and standing (unassisted-for a few seconds at least)...this girl doesn't miss a thing!  Every time we have a check-up the Dr. just laughs at how active and curious and vocal she is and says something to the effect of, "she's going to be  fun ."  ...bringing a whole new meaning to the word fun... I can't ...
