Crazy...

Busy that is.

School is winding down and the kiddos are very excited and so am I. As of today we only have 6 days left. WOW! I can't believe this year is almost over.

On the wedding front, we went to the mall yesterday to hit all the Memorial Day sales. We were walking by the store where Phil bought my ring and he asked if I wanted to get it cleaned while we were here. So we stopped. Next thing you know we were trying on wedding bands and then we bought them. I thought we'd need more time, but we both were happy with what we picked so we did it. We will get my ring on June 6 and his ring will come in a little bit afterwards. Mine is a channel setting with 12 round diamonds (gold). It looks very pretty with my ring. Phil went with a Tungsten ring (silver) which is sturdy and doesn't easily scratch. Yes our rings won't match, but I'm ok with it. I can't wait to see my ring again.

Oh, out photographer emailed us the other day that she will be bringing another photographer in training so I'll get her photos as well...for no extra charge!! Sweet!!!

I bought earrings for the bridesmaids this weekend too.

Later this week we will go to the beach to take some pics to use for our Save the Dates.

I started back to grad school a few weeks ago and have been up to my ears in reading. UGH! I have to read 3-5 chapters each week for 2 classes. It's not the kind of reading I like so it's pretty boring. And I have to drive across the bridge to my classes, 2 nights a week, since they don't offer them at this campus. Traffic is no fun at that hour!!

Ok-better get back to reading. Still have a few chapters to finish before class tomorrow.

Check!

The bridesmaid dresses-Check!!!

My mom saw this dress in the Sunday JCPenney's ad. I checked it out and thought it was cute. After going to see it in person, and trying one on myself. I shared it with the girls and Diane and I went to check it out. We decided to go for it. I got a dress for Cari and Robin in their sizes and they fift perfect. Ready for the best part?!! They were only $25 each!!!!

Here's a picture:

I know it's not your typical bridesmaid dress, but the colors are the colors I'm using. Also the girls can wear them again. In fact, Cari wants to wear it before the wedding. haha! I might go get myself one to wear too-not to the wedding of course.

I am soo glad that is done. I was starting to get worried that I wouldn't find a dress for the girls that I liked in a decent price range.
