Since I haven't blogged in quite some time, this post is going to have lots of pics and a few videos. I appologize in advance for how random this posting is going to be. (you've been warned)

1st: I've been obsessed with the two following songs:

and

2nd: A few posts ago I promised to upload more detailed dress pics.
Now starts the "Dress Shopping" extravaganza photo's...the first few are NOT my dress, just one's that I tried on.

I loved this one online, just not on me- didn't help that it was too big

 this was the 1st one I tried on, my mom loved it right away, I had to tell her to calm down lol

 loved the bottom, hated the top

 (drum roll) The rest are of my dress, I never thought that I would get one like this- but i LOVE it.

Ok, ok, ok....moving forward...

My sister Cindy got me this amazing Coach clutch for my bday:

I'm most likely going to use it for the wedding :)

My sister Jill gave me this cool book all about the designer of my gown:

Ummm, I did something that I typically don't do, I painted my nails yesterday. Chris likes my nails to be without color, but I was bored and feeling summery. I did them a cute coral color- so many people have complimented me on it:

(pay no mind to how horrid I look) haha

What else?....OH- Chris and I had a mini vacation Friday-Monday. It was so nice to get to spend time together.

Thursday night Chris decided that we were going to the drive-in...we saw HP7 part 1 and 2...it was worth sitting in the car for 5 hours.

Friday we got up early and took the motorcycle to breakfast, then to visit mom, then all over the place. I love going for rides on the bike. We filled the rest of the day with various things to do.

Saturday we got up super early because Chris signed us up for fire-arm school so we can get certified to apply for a LTC. It was fun, but it took 4 hours, after that we hit the Natick mall and purchased nothing, then I had a baby shower to go to...after that we popped in to see my sis Cin.

Sunday we went to Narragansett, it's one of my fave places to be:

Monday I honestly can't remember what we did haha.

In other news: My father has decided to move to Florida....in a month. I know, not much time to get adjusted to the idea...on top of that, he's moving THIS SATURDAY to my sister Jill's house in RI until he makes the big move to FL. Whatever makes him happy. I'm just bummed that he will be so far away.

Well, that's all for now folks- i have to get some serious laundry and cleaning done.

G'night!

Weekend Wrap Up- Birthday Edition

Hello fellow bloggers!

Saturday was my birthday, I turned 27, YIKES.

Saturday was such an amazing day for me. I went wedding dress shopping! My mother, best friend Ashley (MOH), and great friend Cecilia (Bridesmaid) came with me.
Before we left my house I got some awesome gifts:

Chris got me the two black and white Pandora beads

 Ashley got me this bead :)



Once gifts were done, we headed to Natick for David's Bridal. It was such a surreal experience. I told myself that I would hold it together, but there were a few times that I got emotional...I blame this on my entourage lol- If they hadn't started the crying, I think I would have been ok.

They took lots of pictures, but they haven't sent them to me yet...but I do have two 'alright' pictures of THE dress! (: It doesn't show all the detail, but you'll get the idea.

First I have to explain the story about my dress. It was the last one that I tried on, and it was the consultant that picked it out. My MOH saw the price and said "do you even want to bother trying this on?" I looked at the dress and said "I might as well, I know I'm not going t like it though"
bahahahah- Everyone, including me and everyone else in the store, loved it...BUT it was ivory...and I wanted white. Problem was that the white dress would have been a special order, which would have meant that I couldn't do layaway. I thought that I was going to have to go with my #2 pick...until another consultant walked by and said "your looking for that in white? what size?" we told her the size and she said "someone just canceled their order for that size in white"
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
My size, and in white? I put it on and that was that...it fit like a glove and looked amazing. I still can't believe I found my dress.
Sooo, here it is:

 horrible pic below- I was crying lol

There is so much beautiful detail on this dress, it's a shame that the pictures don't show it.

As if my Saturday couldn't get any better...Chris' boss let him come home early! We met some of my friends at a local bar and had a few drinks- it was fun.

Sunday morning we headed out to run some errands (My furry babies needed food).

Once we got back home it was time for my bday cookout that my in laws had for me. It was a great time- I love seeing my friends and family- I'm very blessed. We didn't get to bed until almost 2am.

Monday I had the day off. We (Chris and I) decided to go to the beach - FINALLY a beach day! We went to Roger Wheeler beach in RI- such a nice beach. We spent the whole day there;

It was great. The beach also happens to be 5 minutes from my uncle Joe's house, so we popped in on our way home. It was good to see him, and of course we had to stop for Dels frozen lemonade- mmmm

On our way back home we stopped for burger at Red Robin because I had a coupon for a free bday burger...yum.

Once we got home we hopped in the shower and crashed- what a weekennd. Best birthday ever (:

Well- that's all for now- off to bed, g'night!
