I would really like to tell you about the funeral we went to this weekend. But words would never do it justice. Actually.. the pictures won’t be able to do it justice either. I’ve never in my life experienced anything like it. It was truly amazing. I think Uncle Scott’s brother, Nolan, said it best when he told the funeral director that it was truly the most amazing funeral he had ever been too, and how badly he wished it was for someone else. I had my father in law’s camera during the funeral so we need to get over there to get the pictures before I can post them. So instead……
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I can’t believe we already been married a YEAR! In some ways it seems like yesterday… and in others, I can’t remember ever not being married.
Most of the time when I’m at work I find my mind wandering back to last year at this time.. the drama.. the stress.. the dress shopping! The picture taking.. the just wanting everything to fall into place’ing!
As you can probably tell, I am not the most decisive person in the whole world! So I thought I’d let you all in to have a sneak peak into the dress shopping!!!!
In no particular order…. THE DRESSES…
The girl next to me was trying on the same EXACT dress.. it was kinda funny..This one just totally cut my waist off.. and at the time.. I sure didn’t like those poofies..

The only picture of my in a sleeveless dress! We were planning on having sleeves added to this dress. This was the front runner for quite awhile.. I LOVED it!

This is the dress I still wish I would have bought.. I don’t know why.. but I wish I would have. This dress was really comfortable..and made me feel comfortable. At the time the only thing I didn’t like was the sleeves. They were too much like a t-shirt too me. I wish I would have known how much easier it would have been to shorten some sleeves, instead of what I ended up doing to the dress I bought.. I love this dress…


uhh.. some of these are just interesting and I don’t have a lot of commentary for them.. This one had a built in necklace! :)

Yea..I really was feeling just as my face looks…
LOVED this dress too! It was pretty pricey though…
I thought this dress was pretty flattering.. just a little plain.. but it was in serious consideration for awhile…
k.. this dress.. I SERIOUSLY almost bought it the day I tried it on. I was sooo in love with it.. WHY? I have NOOO idea.. its so… ummm.. Amish looking??? But I loved it….

Hey.. same dress.. different day.. I guess I liked this one!
yea.. I don’t really know…
This is the other one I wish I had bought. This particular dress was 4 sizes too big. But the train was AMAZING.. the back was so pretty..and I bet it would have been “the” dress if they had it right then and there in the right size…
This was the cheapest dress.. So I really wanted to like it.. but umm.. no…
This was a rental place.. again.. would have saved a lot of money. This is the first dress she put me in, I was ready to walk out right then…

Then we tried this one.. it was pretty when I sat down. Didn’t plan on doing much sitting..
They put a baby blue sash on this one and I looked like Little Bo Peep…
This was the only combination I liked.. but didn’t love the differences in textures…

SOOOOOOOOOOO.. What did I end up with???
This dress wasn’t actually my favorite after all.. but I did like it.. and well it’s my wedding dress.. So I guess I have to love it right??? :)




We will not ever begin to talk about the other dresses in the wedding.. there isn’t enough memory on blogger for that!!!!
More wedding excitement to come this upcoming month… I love reliving it!!!
Hope you don’t mind either….
oh… PLUS! I have another ultrasound on Monday so that will be fun.. It’s amazing to me how much he changes every 4 weeks.. Can’t wait to see what he’s up to this time around.. I promised the tech that I wouldn’t eat or drink anything sugary, so I am hoping he’ll still be asleep when we get there so she can get good look at everything without having to chase him all around!

  1. Fun post! I love the dress you picked, those are really cute bridal shots of you in it.
    I also LOVE the dress in the first picture, if you just took away the red sash.
    I wish I had shopped around more for mine and tried on more dresses. I bought one pretty quickly because it was a great bargain and a pretty dress. But NOT my dream dress at all and I wish I had tried on more!
