Wedding Update!

First, as you may have noticed, below I posted a few of the NYC pictures...there are MANY more on facebook (FYI).  

I feel like we have been productive and used our time off effectively (despite poor Brent being sick/congested most of the week)!  We had our first cake tasting this week at an adorable place appropriately called 'The Cake Shop.'  I think I know what style of cake I want (or am very close to knowing at least) and Brent found something he really liked as well for the Groom's cake.  He's such a sweetheart, he still agreed to go to the tasting even though I scheduled it the exact time the Tech game started...we managed to get back in time to not watch the rest of the game.  We did, however, get some much needed cleaning/organizing done.  Brent really has no logic to where items are stored.  For instance, the iron lives in the kitchen by the stove, the drill--in the cabinet above the stove, and my favorite--the halloween costume accessories are placed in misc. places throughout the house (i.e. the bathroom, kitchen).  Oh! and he also started cleaning out his closet and getting rid of things he no longer wants/wears. Unfortunately, this didn't even put a dent in the closet space...we have a ways to go.  

Though Brent fails to see the logic in registering, he humored me.  On probably one of his sickest days, we went to Bed Bath & Beyond.  The registration process was a little longer than anticipated, and all computers seemed to be running extremely slow.  When we finally did get the 'gun' to start selecting items, it too was slow--this was something Brent thoroughly enjoyed.  We were there about an hour, barely made it through the kitchen appliances etc., when he had finally had enough.  He was a good sport though, so I wasn't going to hold him there against his will.  There is no point in trying anything when he's: 1. not feeling good 2. irritated and most importantly 3. hungry.  

Finally....I went dress shopping today!!!  My mom, sister and maid of honor (Brooke) all went along for moral support and fashion consulting.  It was SO FUN!!  And, much to my surprise, I found some I liked!! Two, actually...so, now I have to determine which one I want and fast!  I have to start alterations, well, like 4 weeks ago.  It was so fun; I'm beyond excited now!  Everything is finally starting to come together.

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 ...
