Yikes, these days are just flying! I really have no idea what I do with my weekends. I make lists of all the things I need (okay, want) to get done and while I am unbelievably busy the entire weekend somehow I still have half of my list left to complete. The house is a disaster. The laundry is wrinkly. And, the dishes need to be put away. Phew. Just thinking about it wears me out. But, I am determined to get one of the many things done tonight after work. Hopefully the laundry.
The good news is my dress is ready. I stopped by the alterations place today to take a look and the seamstress did an AMAZING job. For the most part I didn't have a lot of alterations for her. Sure, it was big here or there which she had no problem fixing. However, the bustle was the big project. My dress... well, there is a lot to it. I never imagined it this way, but I love it despite the fact that it will take an army to bustle. O well. I'm only getting married once :) So, the seamstress came up with this awesome idea to bustle the dress, and it turned out amazing. She added buttons to the back to loop the material up when it comes time to dance and then covered those buttons with lace (which is on that part of the dress already). So, basically the lace all fades together and you can't even notice it wasn't there to begin with. Okay, I realize I am rambling on mysteriously, about something that you have to see to understand. And, while I would love to post a picture I must wait until after May 19. I am just really excited with how it turned out and how nicely it will bustle up while still sticking to the design of the dress.
In addition to the dress success, I also met with Drew's cousin to create the programs. She has offered to design and print them for us as a gift. Once I send her all of the copy, it will be another item I can add off the list. It's hard to believe that Thursday marks the one month mark, and while my heart starts to speed up as I type that, I, for the most part, am staying calm and feel as though we are on track. As long as I can get a little something done each day we should be golden.
