Busy Bee and Saying Yes to the Dress!!!

I haven't posted in over a week and for good reason, I have been a busy girl!  I had to study for the TEAS test, which I took on Sat., it is an entrance exam to my Plan B nursing school.  Hopefully I won't need a Plan B, but you can never be too careful! Anyways, the test just brought back all kinds of memories of the standardized tests we had to take to get into college after high school.  I think standardized testing is ridic....I mean you sit there for 4 hours and take a test.  Four hours people, I mean who is good at sitting still for four hours not to mention having to read and answer questions during each timed section?!?! Anywho, on to more positive things!! 

Mr. T reads this so I can't post pics but I offically said YES to a dress, wedding dress that is!!!  I am more than thrilled! For some reason this has made the whole wedding seem more realistic (I guess because we still have a lot of time and a lot to do before the big day)!  First of all, I am not good at making big decisions.  I mean I look and look and investigate and price check and read articles and look some more before then figuring out I am just making myself crazy and even more confused!  See my wedding dress shopping went like this..... My parents came into town in February and we went to XYZ bridal (don't want to name names so we will just call it this) where I experienced my first wedding dress fitting.  I tried on every single style imaginable to figure out what looked good on me and what I thought would work well for our wedding vision.  First of all, my Daddy was bored and just wanted to get the heck outta there and go get some lunch!  Love you Daddy but wedding dress shopping should definitely be left to the ladies!!   Secondly, that store is GROSS!  They gave me a bra to use and it smelled like a hog had rolled around in it for days and then they hung it up in the sun to dry before they decided it was fit for me to use!!!  I am not exaggerating!!! Needless to say I didn't find my dress there! We had lots of other wedding things to do while my parents were here so we had to use our time wisely so we didn't go dress shopping again during that trip.  Later on I got to talking to a friend of mine Aubrey about wedding dresses and she expressed to me how she loved all things wedding, so I dragged invited her to go wedding dress shopping with me and we went to about a bajillion stores in the Tampa Bay area.  I fell in love with one of the first dresses I tried on, but me being me I had to continue looking!  Well after I had gone to about every store you can imagine here, I decided to stop my searching and wait to go with my Momma again while I was visiting her in Pensacola.  We went to one bridal boutique where I continued to try on about 20 dresses. This is where I started to panic and questioning myself and wondering if I even knew what the heck I liked and didn't like!!  Then my Momma said with all her wisdom...."Angie, you need to make a decision because you are just confusing yourself more by trying on all these dresses!" And she was right, so this week I swung by the store that had the dress I loved from before.... just to try it on one more time!  As soon as I put it on, I KNEW!  I am oh so excited to say that I have picked out my wedding dress and it is better than I ever could have imagined!! I cannot wait to show you guys pictures of me in the most beautiful gown I have ever laid eyes on!!!!  Now, you just have to wait 288 days, HA!!
