My perfect dress :)


Today was the day ive been waiting for .. my dress appointment!
I didnt go with any expectations - anyone who knows me.. knows that sometimes it takes me a LONG time to find something that is perfect. Today was NOT that kind of experience. I am extremely happy to report that I found the most perfect dress! I cant wait to walk down the aisle and for Greg to see it! It's a good thing that its not coming in until April .. I love the dress so much - if I had it here, Id probably feel tempted to put it on and prance around my house in it!

All of my bridesmaids (minus Desiree) were there with my mom, and Greg's mom to help me decide on my future wedding gown! We had so much fun! It was fun to walk out and see their faces each time I tried on a different dress. I have some honest friends, but sometimes they didnt even need to say anything - that split second look said it all! When I walked out in "the dress," there was nothing said for an instant. I knew it! Everyone did!

On to some more news ---

I met with the travel agent.. Every time I walk into her office, I have my mind set on a honeymoon location. Then when I walk in and see her, I change my mind! Needless to say, I havent finished the honeymoon location. I have my agent (Jenny) holding a spot for both a carribean cruise, and a med. cruise that stops in Spain, Italy, Greece, and another location in Italy. I know what your thinking -- ♥ITALY♥!!!!! Yes, I feel that way too. And so does Greg! But the problem is that my travel agent doesnt recommend going over there in the heat of the summer. She said its actually miserable! I mean cmon- Is my desire to go to Italy worth the chance of having a heat stroke while touring Rome really worth it on my honeymoon?? With that said -- Im still deciding.. Its not easy!

I havent been able to speak with Greg on the phone, but every couple of days I get an update from him in Haiti. He told me that the journalists, the media, and so forth - only touchs HALF of what its really like over there. Im so proud of him.


Lastly, I want to say "154" .. Thats the number of days until I am officially a Mrs!

Until next time,

:)

  1. Nicole,
    You are absolutly right, your dress is simply amazing. (Really, I've tried it on and it just magically forms to your body as if it were made for you) I want to tell you that you are a strong woman to have Greg so far away in a time of need. Without people and families like you, we would never have the support for all of the military and other organizations that leave us for extended periods of time to help others in the American honor. Keep your head up, you're doing great! I love you very much!
