Ooooh, pretty!


I always thought that those ready-made blog backgrounds were kind of cheesy and unoriginal and that I liked the simple white layout best. Then my friend Amy got on me today about my boring blog with lots of "white space" so I wandered over to shabby blogs.com to see what all the fuss was about. So stinkin' cute. Lots of cute orange-esque designs, this one is called Little Miss Sunshine.

Hmmm, what else. I bought a wedding dress! I went to eight shops and hated pretty much everything I saw but one, which was of course at the top of my price range. Or as my mom said, cost prohibitive... I spent a week moping about it, googling it, trying not to use my AC to save money, etc. I went back to the shop to try it on again on Sunday after a depressing weekend of tulle, rhinestones and bustles and -- score, it was on sale! That kind of got the ball rolling on the rest of the wedding plans. If anyone knows of a good Atlanta wedding photographer that works for less than the cost of  decent house down payment, let me know :)

I had a terrific birthday, I really owe a good post to that and I will get to it. I think I got more cards, gifts and good wishes for my 30th than any other birthday. I felt so loved! 

Sorry, 2008; 2009 is slowly gaining on you.

Love the new look! I completely understand the wedding dress agony -- I went through the same thing. In the end the "upper-end" price range will be so much better than settling!

Yay for the dress markdown! That's wonderful news! Can't wait to see it!

Love the layout, too.

Oh, T. Sniff. We all missed you so much. I can't believe I haven't
bored you with pics. You can see the empty spot we left for you here.
