I'm Yours

Well last night Chantal and I went to our first Wilton Cake Decorating Class at Michaels. For me it was a review of things I already knew, except I learned a new buttercream recipe that I can't wait to try. Most of the class was listening to lady talk about the different tools etc (she was hilarious, but Wilton tries way too hard to make you buy their things) then we practiced stars and decorated cookies.

After the class, which from 5-7, we went across the parking lot to Davids Bridal. There was a dress I had seen online that I loved and wanted to see it in person. I had no intentions of trying it on, but I did. I fell in love. Since I was just there with Chantal, who is also my maid of honor, I booked an appointment to go back next week on Friday. My mom, grandma, who is paying for the dress, my sister Amélie and Mari, who are both bridesmaids, will be coming with me. I have a feeling Amélie may bring her bff Vanessa too. The wedding isn't going to be until January 2014 but I have no doubt in my mind that this is the dress. I called my mom and she was like, but what if you gain weight or lose weight? I will stay within this weight range (hopefully lose a little) if it kills me.

 This was my first choice and the one I tried on last night. The other two (another my grandma liked and one my mom liked) I am going to try on at my appointment next week. While I really like them, the first one with the lace is really my favorite and I think will be insanely hard to beat.

In more wedding related news we have our first dance song picked out I Wont Give Up by Jason Mraz. I had played it for Jonathan and they played I'm Yours which I liked as well, and Olivier loves that one too so we are going to do that for a second dance with Olivier. And I have my florist picked out, it's Bloomin' Funky and the second Melissa suggested putting feathers in my bouquet I was sold. I'm such a feather freak that I had no choice but to pick her. And she was honest with me when I would ask about flowers and would tell me if it was going to cost an arm and a leg. She liked my ideas about having each of my bridesmaids having a different bouquet and their groomsman match the bouquet (their boutonniere). Our venue is pretty much decided on, Orchardview. We still haven't decided on if we want a cocktail wedding or a reception wedding, but if we go cocktail its going to be a friday evening wedding, a reception would be late afternoon wedding I think.

And around we go again

Nothing is more disappointing than your body playing mean tricks on you. It has you thinking you're pregnant, convinced! But then, at 11 days post ovulation your period arrives, 6 days early and is worse than ever. It makes you go, wtf? is this another miscarriage (since everything is exactly like last month when I had a miscarriage) or is it just my cycle fucked up because of my miscarriage and my period is just early. And of course I saw my doctor on Thursday, 10 days post ovulation and everything was fine, except now she's on vacation for 3 weeks. Her nurse still hadn.t called me back on Friday so now I get to speak to her (hopefully) on Monday. In a new office. Without Mari, just 2 women and a man who have no idea whats going on. Lovely Times.
