Well, today was a very emotional day. I wish I could go into detail about why, but if certain people do ever come across my blog, it would get other people in trouble. And I really don't want/need that! But I am being put in an uncomfortable situation (through nobody's fault) and I've cried quite a bit today.
But what I can talk about on here, and what has made me very happy today... I GOT MY DRESS!! It is beautiful. I found it online and went (by myself!) into the store to try it on, and instantly got that feeling I was looking for! It wasn't the dress at Demetrios, but it is similar, and even prettier. And it's less expensive than the one at Demetrios! :)
I was embarassed to go by myself, but I decided to do it last minute, and couldn't get a hold of anyone, so I just went. I gave the woman at the counter the code for the dress, and she let me know that they had it. So, I went in the dressing room to put it on, came out, and saw a WOW look on her face. Now, I know she's a sale's person and would probably say anything to make a sale, but I genuinely think she liked it. And, when she went in the back to get a veil for me to try on, several people walked by and told me how beautiful they thought it was. I felt so elegant and classy in that dress, and did not want to take it off!! It will arrive in June and I will be going in July to get alterations. And that's one more thing off my list!
Well, I'm supposed to be doing work for Jason's dad to help him with some research. So, see ya!

Elegant, Feminine, Classy
I've been going crazy trying to figure out what wedding dress I want to wear. I have to hurry, because if I order a dress now, it will come in at the end of July, beginning of August! Yikes! The good news is, I think I finally know which dress I want!! I went with Jason's mom yesterday and tried on more dresses and I kept comparing all of them to one of the dresses I tried on at Dometrios. So I knew that was the one!!! I would love to post a picture of it, but I don't want Jason to see it! ;) I do, however, want to post pictures of earrings, shoes, and hair that I'm currently diggin'. I want my bridal look to be elegant, feminine, and classy. But I also like simple pieces, with one or two defining details to make it stand out. So these are some of my ideas at the moment:
(I originally wanted to wear my hair half-up and curly, but the dress I want has a beautiful back, and I don't want my hair to cover it. So, I think this would be soft, and pretty.)
(I LOVE these shoes! I am obsessed with bows on shoes, and these have that, plus they have rhinestones which will tie together nicely with the detailing on my dress! They're by Martinez Valero, and they come in white or ivory)
So, that's what I've been focusing on for the past few days! I just want everything planned now, so I can relax and look forward to our wedding vacation!

Mother Quotes
I'm working on a surprise mother's day gift for Jason's mom. Yes, Jason's mom. Not mine, and I will explain that situation some other time. Anyway, I've found some cute quotes about mothers that I want to share.
"She never quite leaves her children at home, even when she doesn't take them along." ~Margaret Culkin Banning
(This is how I feel about my kids!)
"Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother." ~Oprah Winfrey
(How I feel about my mother)
"A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie." ~Tenneva Jordan
"There is no influence so powerful as that of the mother." -Sarah Josepha Hale
(This is very true!)
"The joys of motherhood are never fully experienced until the children are in bed." -Author Unknown
(So funny, but I think this every night when I try so hard to get the kids to bed, and then when they're finally sleeping, I want to wake them because I miss them!)

Spring Saturday
I went dress shopping with Brittany last night. I found two that I really love, but am so confused about which one I like more. I still want to go to at least one other place to check some more out, so maybe I will fall madly in love with one somewhere else, and I won't be confused anymore!
It's actually somewhat warm today! Jason worked this morning, and Evan stayed over JuJu's and PopPop's house last night. So Ally and I went for a walk to enjoy the nice weather this morning. Of course I took a lot of pictures! Here are a few:

Just Like Old Times
Today Ally and I had a girls' day. We hit all of our favorite spots: Chick-fil-a for lunch, Panera for M&M cookies, and the Party Store for a "Thomas" balloon. It felt just like old times!
Over the summer, while I was still pregnant with Evan, Ally and I used to go somewhere almost every day. And Target and Chick-fil-a were our favorites. Since Evan has been born, it's been hard for us to spend any one on one time together, and we stay home pretty much every day. I hear myself telling her "Just a minute," or "Quiet, your brother is sleeping!" constantly, and it makes me feel so bad. So today, I had JuJu watch Evan, and Ally and I spent a wonderful afternoon together.
But even though I had a fun day with Ally, another part of me feels so blah today. Evan has been having trouble sleeping the past few nights. I think it's because he's still getting over his cold. He rubs his ear when he falls alseep, and I know that could be a sign of an ear infection, but he's been doing that since he was born. (And his ears are always fine at his check-ups) Other than that, he acts fine during the day... just tired, and that's because he's not sleeping much at night. I decided that if tonight is another bad night, it definitely will be time to take him to the doctor. I hope my poor baby is okay!
But back to feeling blah. I feel like I have a hangover. I haven't had a single drop of alcohol to drink in weeks, but that's how I feel. I have this sinus headache, and my whole body feels tired. Plus, I'm exhausted from trying to push Jason to pay a little extra for the wedding package that I want. He is insistant that we should save money on a less expensive package, and I am just so in love with this beautiful outdoor waterfall location. But he just won't budge. If I was still working, there would be no question about it, I would just pay for the package. But I am staying home with the kids, and I just don't have the money to do that. So I have to try to convince the most frugal human being on earth to spend a little more. And it makes me sad, because I feel like he should care a lot more about our wedding than he does. He doesn't even realize how much we are saving by getting married in Vegas instead of at home. He HAS the money saved, he just doesn't want to spend it because it's for when our house sells. (It's been listed for two years, and I feel it will NEVER sell anyway, but that's a whole other story...)
Hopefully I shake this feeling soon. I'm sure if I could finally get rid of this cold, I would be doing a lot better. But I think you need sleep for that, and Evan is just not allowing that to happen. Oh well, I will try not to complain about my lack of sleep. He is a sweetheart, and I should remind myself that one day he will be older and I will be up with worry wondering where he is, and what he's doing. So, I should enjoy my children while they're little, and I should cuddle them up whenever I get the chance, whether it be 2pm or 2am.
Well, that's enough for now... I better go finish up my Thursday cleaning.

Feeling Accomplished... Sort of...
Well, after days of searching for the perfect deal for our Vegas wedding stay, we finally found where we are going to be living for five days and four nights! Jason is in the process of booking a two bedroom suite at PH Towers. It is phenomenal! I'm super excited.
I'm glad to end such a crappy day with this fun event! Because this morning and today were terrible. Jason and I both caught Evan's cold (which he did end up catching from Ally) So, we have both had an extreme lack of energy and have been trying to deal with a crabby baby. I'm not sure if Evan is getting a tooth, or is still feeling sick, but he has just not been his happy self lately.
Well, I'm hoping that we all feel better tomorrow. And I'm also hoping that we can book our wedding by the weekend. Wish us luck! :)
