Sorry I'm a bit behind, sweetie! But...

GAH SRSLY WTH!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh. I can't believe there was THAT big of a difference! Like... like that's a HUGE difference! And all that stress for nothing!!!! I know exactly how you felt though--- when my dress came in and it had the wrong skirt I had an emotional breakdown. So

Thank GOD you're getting the right dress! And thank god you ordered it super-far-in-advance so you're still good to go!!

It's okay hun no worries!

I know, it's nauseating. hah. If I wasn't so afraid of DF finding the pictures I'd post them online. But yeah, that's not going to happen. hah. The numbers speak for themselves. I did as well. It's like *** this is NOT what I had tried on? Craziness.

Thankfully I did order it so far in advance. And have a few amazing bridesmaids and my mother to calm me down. hah.

I've beeen so stressed this week that this was just the icing on the cake, lol. But thankfully most of that's over. I'll feel 100% better once I get her in!

I'm so glad they're going to get it fixed for you!! Your mom is right!! You wouldn't cry if you didn't love it. You would have said--this isn't right--I want something new. The good thing is--you have time. I'm 9 weeks away with no dress in my posession, lol. It will all be fabulous

 

[tinkerbell 766]

I am so glad that you sorted it out and are now much happier with your dress situation!!! Much love sweetie!!

Thanks Deena! =] I need them hugs.

I don't know what I'd do if I were you! lol. I'd really be going psycho. I do love the gown, it's not that I don't. I think my biggest issue is I am so details oriented that it KILLS me. The only gown I found that 'tops' mine is about 3k and well, let's just face it. I'm NOT paying that much for a wedding gown. NOOO WAy.

I am so glad that you sorted it out and are now much happier with your dress situation!!! Much love sweetie!!

Thank you Joanne! I'm so happy it went so smoothly with getting it fixed. Now to just wait and hope it still shows up the right way! lol

Glad you got the dress drama taken care of. Can't wait to see the pictures dress... I'll be waiting awhile though! I hope your stress with your job/job hunt goes away soon! I'm so jealous that Kristi is in Disney! Ugh I can't wait to be there! Two months is too long!

So I decided that to keep my mind off of the dress, I'm just going to get my floral decor ideas posted up on here like I have been meaning to for about a week.

On a side note though, my job situation is really starting to get to me. I'm somewhat annoyed with what had been said and it's just really getting to me. I feel like such a waste of a college degree and my parents money. If it wasn't for my student teaching I would probably still be manager if not co-owner of the salon I had worked out during college and would be making so much more money than I am right now. It's so depressing. I have a degree and certification and STILL don't get call backs on jobs. LAME. Bah.

Anywho.. back to floral! Haha. The end of this month and when we get back from California we plan on going to visit about 4 florists. I have 4 of them in mind and just need to call and make appointments. So I figured, for the appointments I may as well bring as much details as possible so that I can get accurate pricing for the flowers. So I made a word document that ended up being.. 14 pages long. Florists are either going to love or hate me haha.

Thanks hun! I'm so happy as well. I'm sitting in anticipation though until I get it back! I won't go ahead with any more dress ordering until I get my gown back and it's right. Bah. lol. But we can try on and decide in the meantime!

Thanks! Floral is one of my obsessions and I'm afraid it's going to cost crazy amounts of money. But I'm open to different flower options to bring costs down. There's only a few that I definitely NEED to have in MY bouquet, everything else I'm flexible with hehe.

Thanks girl! I'm keeping fingers crossed that the dress turns out the way I'm expecting it too! I really don't wanna have to go shopping agian...

Thanks!! We're going to a florist next weekend to start discussing pricing and such. I'm so excited!!

Okay, so I have a HUGE announcement!!!
Some of you may have seen on FaceBook that I had a job interview this morning and I was a bit nervous about it. Well.. I GOT THE JOB!! Not even 20 minutes after I walked out of the interview I got the phone call with the offer!!! I'm sooo excited. It's a teaching position for Head Start. I'm not sure if all of your are familiar with them. But it's a organization that provides childcare for lower income families and it's an amazing program that I've been impressed with for years. I'm so excited. I'll have my own classroom and children! Next week I go in to do all the fun paperwork! haha.

I'm making Dave take me out tonight to celebrattee!!!! ​

 

[tinkerbell 766]

Many congratulations sweetie!!! I hope you will be happy in your new job!! What a wonderful opportunity for you!!

 

[librarygeek]

Ack, I missed some big updates! So many fun floral ideas, and I can't wait to see what you settle on. I'm sure the florists will appreciate that you are so organized!

Congratulations again on the job! That is so exciting.

And the dress drama... I am just so glad that they are willing to work with you and fix the problem. I know you will probably be on edge til you get your dress back again though. At least you have time. And as for the feeling you get when you're in it... I'm not sure I ever felt those sparks until the day of the wedding, when I had the dress on with my hair, accessories, and everything. Plus, when I got my dress back the first time it felt a little off, but once I got it altered I felt like it looked SO much better!

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

i wanted to pop in and say CONGRATULATIONS!!!! i'm so crazy happy for you!! today has been a hot mess at home, i came home at 10:30 because this water thing has to be fixed. nothing's working so far... but at least beauty and the beast was on today!!

[belle2211]

Yay! Congrats on your new job! Teaching is stressful but so rewarding! And your kiddos will only be a year younger than mine!

CONGRATS LOVE!!!!!!!!!



SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!

My little teacher!! Haha now you can tell them about your certified teacher friend down in SC and get me a job too!!

And on top of that..... I LOVE LOVE LOVE your flowers!!!

 

[J.ThaddeusToad]

Congrats on the job!!! I'm a certified teacher as well...but I'm not currently using my degree. Good luck with everything!

Somehow my posts have gotten lost on your PJ a few times, but I'm glad you found my last one!

 

[lilsqueakrr]

I just wanna say thank you thank you thank you everyone for your comments!! =] I'm excited and nervous at the same time, but we'll see! I go on Tuesday to fill out the new hire paperwork and go from there.

I've been talking with a few people who know or have been employed by the program and they've been saying that it can be a LOT of work and really emotionally exhausting. So we'll see how it goes! I'm just chalking it up to experience and taking it one day at a time! Plus I'll be making $11,000 more a YEAR so that's more money towards the house and wedding! Woohoo! It's definitely a bit of a relief on that part!

I just wanted to let you all know I'm taking a bit of a hiatus from updating.. unless something dramatic happens of course! haha. I'm leaving for DISNEYLAND 2 weeks from yesterday, so I'm busy getting ready for that. Plus throw in the new job AND emotionally preparing myself to leave my little monsters (I cried the entire way to DF's on Friday just thinking about it!). BUT I will be checking in and commenting one everyone else's PJs! So no worries!! =]

Then when I get back.. I will be PAST my one year mark! Which is when the real chaos is going to kick in!




J.ThaddeusToad I'm so sorry I've lost a few of your posts amidst the updates.. I will assure you that I DO read them.. and it's nothing personal if I do not respond. Thanks for sticking with me and dealing with my scatter brained ness!! haha. <3

Amber I will glady get you a job.. if you move up to NJ.

 

[J.ThaddeusToad]

No worries love! Have a fabulous time in Disneyland! I've been twice, but it's been over 10 years since I last went! You better do a trip report!!!
