We were lucky enough to have two different wedding photographers at the wedding, each with a varied style. They both did a great job as I’m sure you’ll agree. In my previous wedding photos post I talked a bit about how lame I feel in posed photos and how lame I end up looking. I […]

A look at the wedding though one of our photographer’s eyes…
For the wedding we knew we needed to secure as many photos of the event as we could, but we didn’t have the budget for thousands of dollars for a wedding photographer, plus we weren’t really looking for someone to provide us with prints of the photos from the wedding… So we hunted around for […]
We had OUR Wedding!
It’s official, we had our long awaited wedding! After a five year engagement and adding two daughters to our family, we finally found the time and money to make it happen. Now that it’s over, I can’t really detect any major difference between pre-wedding and post wedding life… but we did it and have the […]
Wedding hair trial: A romantic updo
I’ve still not decided on my wedding hair style! Can you believe it? The problem is, I really like the look of an updo but I question the functionality and staying power of one. I’ve been trying out this version of a mess updo:
Murphy’s Law and Such…
There is so much going on right now, some I can share… some I cannot. You already know, our very belated wedding is nearing, fast. Remember how we posponed it while pregnant with Everly? When it comes to important life stuff… “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”. Except, for us the “going wrong” […]
Long distance wedding planning & wedding hair styles to consider.
Contracts have been signed, we are having a wedding in 2013. It’s only 3 years belated but now we have two beautiful little girls to share the day with. Spur of the moment we decided to have a wedding with our tax return money, nothing more. Could it be done? Apparently, our desired venue has […]
Milestones and upcoming excitement in 2013
This week has been a milestone week for Everly & Adalyn. They are now playing together, like actually both enjoying the same thing… And they are cooperating. As opposed to parallel play or Adalyn simply undoing everything Everly is trying to do. This is a welcome development. Adalyn has also discovered the joys of trying […]

Remember when…
Remember when I outlined all N’s job uncertainty in this post back on May 2008? Back then we still had no idea where his job search would take us and we were pretty worried that we would end up stuck with the status quo if no better offers came along. We were barely making end […]
The dress is here, yay!
I am 100% satisfied with my wedding dress purchase. I’ll admit I was feeling a bit apprehensive about buying a wedding dress on Ebay but I did my research, covered my butt and when it arrived today is was better than I thought it would be! Yesterday I got a survey request from David’s Bridal, […]
My brain is mush, la, la, la (might be the HGC huh?)
My mind is in another place right now and has been for several days. I dropped a hint in the last post that nobody picked up on. Days like this just aren’t conducive to being focused and serious in blogging so I am just going to put it all out there and quit trying to […]
When my wedding dress comes it is going to be like X-mas!!
Guess who just snagged an Oleg Cassani CT285 wedding dress, a David’s Bridal long line felina strapless bra and a David’s Bridal wedding dress slip all for $281.35 (including shipping)… I did and we are stoked! The dress retails for $1100, the slip for $49.00 and the bra for $80.00, we got such a steal […]
Published articles and too good to be true discoveries…
It is raining like crazy here today! N and I just checked out a local bridal consignment shop that had many dresses that were similar in style to the one I like. They were all smaller than a size 8 too! Also, I have another article published on the web today, I am a guest […]
I need to drink after dress shopping at David's Bridal
Guess who is hitting the boxed wine tonight big time, all thanks to the pain of petite wedding dress shopping… ME! We went to David’s Bridal and I tried on several dresses. The one we loved was Oleg Cassini CT258 and it was on display in the window of the shop. We looked through all […]
Petite girls like pretty dresses too!!
Over the weekend N and I went wedding dress hunting. Yeah I know the dress is supposed to be a surprise for the groom and all. Problem is I just moved and am now living 1500 miles away from them, I have no “people” to go dress shopping with. I figured it would really be […]
A visit to Owensboro, KY and some quality time!
Yesterday N and I went to Owensboro, KY to do another mystery shop and to spend some quality time together. On our way to the mystery shop we stopped in at Abbingtons Bridal House to scope out some dresses. Sadly they did not carry the Jacqueline Exclusive dresses I liked but they did offer me […]
You asked for it: The wedding dress
Like I said in a comment yesterday I have been only been perusing dresses online because I don’t want to get my heart set on one particular dress and have it be unavailable. I am not really a “by the book” kind of girl so my dress selections are a bit different, I think different […]
Wedding planning and gardening fun…
N and I are making some progress this week. We started making some decisions about our wedding party. I have notified my maid of honor and N is trying to nail down the number of groomsmen he’ll have. When he knows how many groomsmen he will have I’ll know how many lady friends to make […]
