We are getting closer to breaking 400 days until we get married!
Updates:
1. found the most absolute perfect dress. i love it more than anything and the greatest thing is it is totally different than anything I've tried on. there is a downside but I'm not even thinking about it. I'm just going to keep telling myself that is my dress and I'm getting it!! yeppers.. i am!
2. we went BM dress shopping and I suppose it was productive. Not all of them were there so a few of the girls tried some on to get an idea.
3. we kinda have colors but it just depends on the dresses and all of our decorations and such.
4. decorations.. oh don't even get me started. i have tons of ideas but when we get to the venue and i look around i have no idea if they look good or if i just lack decorating abilities.
5. every time i see our venue i get super excited. i love it.
6. we cannot find a honeymoon spot we like.. i know. i know. out of all the places in the world we can't find ONE we like. picky picky picky.
7. i have an issue: my hair. my hair grows so so slow and everyone has been telling me to get it trimmed, it will help it grow. so i got a one inch trim aaannndddd... IT'S SO SHORT! I'm trying to grow my hair out to the middle of my back and it's at my shoulders. i have 12 and a half months til our wedding which is a year but I'm so worried I'm going to be stuck with short hair forever!! oh and i heard taking prenatal vitamin's works to help hair grow faster but being a nursing student I'm a little nervous to try that because prenatal vitamins are double the dose(for mother and baby) and it's really just hormones that contribute to the hair growth.. But desperate times call for desperate measures.. so we'll see.
8. I'm reconsidering food which i haven't told anyone yet so we'll see how that goes over. yikes. (probably should discuss this with Jas before I post this!!.. lol)
9. Jason is reconsidering his outfit selection..
10. we've been trying to work to get ourselves in shape and it went really well the first week and now I'm feeling over it. lol.. any advice?
11. i have a total of 3 bridal magazines and I'm thinking that just isn't cutting it!! pass them along brides :)
so we have all this stuff going on. it's our last week of school before exams. we have no decoration ideas, flower ideas, food ideas, linen ideas, invitation ideas, cake ideas.... and I'm pretty sure I'm just being overly crazy because i have 12 months or so but i just want all this to be taken care of... I'm so ready to get married and see the final product.

Introducing... the bridemaids!
Today I've decided to introduce my bridesmaids and tell a little bit about why I picked them.
First is my cousin Cheryl. She lives in NY but I still love her times a million. Years can pass between us but somehow we're still close when we see each other. I love my family so much and wish we lived closer! Love and miss you!
Next is Sarah. I've known her my entire life. We were really close growing up and we've grown apart throughout the years but I love her dearly. I'm happy to have her as part of my wedding.
Kristen is my next bridesmaid. I've known her my entire life and I KNOW she'll be really helpful in wedding planning. She's very opinionated and I'm extra grateful for her help thus far and what's to come.
Lauren!!! I've known her for years now. We played basketball together in high school and went to college together. She is the odd ball of the group. She is different and unique and makes me laugh. She's going to be great as part of my wedding. Apart from my wedding we will also be celebrating her 21st birthday on May 28, 2010!! YAY!
Then... JoMarie. I met her my freshman year of college and we've become great friends since then. Jo is going to add a totally different perspective to our wedding. Bless her, she's pretty much the only conservative member of my wedding party.. Oh well! We're going to break her out of her shell! She's super sweet and an awesome friend!
So those are the bridesmaids. Notice. I'm not having a maid/matron of honor.. I want everyone to take part in my wedding just as much as the other and I think it will work out for the best like this.
Jason's best man is his twin brother, Justin.
Groomsmen are his dad, a childhood friend-Anthony, my cousin-Bradley, and another friend-Jason!
I feel like I'm running out of topics for now.. but we are planning! This Saturday we are going to the bridal store to pick out colors for the bridesmaid dresses so we can start ordering linens, flowers, and decorations!
Enjoy!

Vote for your favorite dresses!!
So I figured this would be a fun way for everyone to vote on the dress they like. Note: these are not necessarily the dresses we will choose but these are some options. Also, these are two different shades of blue so let me know which ones you like too!!
ONE
TWO
How to vote: Go to add a comment. Type in your vote and color with any other suggestions. Add name or anonymous and we'll tally up.. if no one participates then too bad so sad!!
I've been pondering my next blog and I think i'll introduce my bridal party to you and why I picked them. (If y'all, as in my bridal party, read it let me know!!)
Enjoy!
