First Week of March Update

I had my third fitting today to mark the hem and double check the side seams and sleeve alterations. Ethan's vest came in last week and he wore it to the temple last Saturday. He looks pretty dashing in it.

Ethan has been sealing and I have been addressing invitations like crazy the past few days. We will have them all out this week--Monday and Tuesday. Ethan is still trying to gather a couple more addresses, I think.

I found a temple dress at DI today. It's gorgeous! It's a silky fabric with a kind of paisley, but not, print and a lace front piece. For $6, I couldn't pass up such a pretty dress. It will need to be hemmed a few inches though... darn my short legs!

Jill (the maid of honor) ordered her maternity dress today. She's pretty darn excited about it and I am too! And speaking of things being ordered, Ethan ordered our cake topper last weekend. It hasn't come yet, but we're anxiously checking the mail every day for it. Also, I ordered some beads to make the bridesmaids a necklace and/or bracelet (it depends on how big the beads end up being and such). I also ordered rose earrings for each girl, they are peach and coral (there were two sets on one card, so two girls will have coral and two girls will have peach). It's okay because the colors the stores have are mostly only peach or pink so our colors have become navy, coral, and peach basically.

Ethan's family have been working on putting all our flowers together. She posted some pictures on her Facebook page. I'm super happy with them so far!

One of my best friends from home told me that she isn't going to be able to make it for the wedding, so I was down a bridesmaid. However, this evening I was talking with a good friend I made up here at school (she graduated Fall 2012) about wedding plans and she said: So if I fly in on Friday I'll be there on time? I wasn't sure if she was joking or being serious, so I just said yes. Turns out she was serious! She booked her flight tonight! I had commented to her earlier in February that I wish she was going to be here because she would have been a bridesmaid, but she lives in Nebraska.  So when I found out she was coming, I decided to ask her. She accepted, of course! So now I'm back to four bridesmaids :) Ethan's "groomsmaids" are his 3 brothers and Austin, who will be the best man.

I'm meeting with a friend that sells Mary Kay on Thursday for a wedding makeover so I can figure out how I want to do my make up. Still not sure on the hair though... I know I want it mostly down and curled. I really like the bow idea, but I'm not sure I have enough hair to do that. (Sometimes thin hair can be a pain!)

Oh. I registered for Spring semester this past Thursday and Ethan registers this coming Wednesday. It's crazy to think that it will be our first semester married!

My Spring 2014 Schedule

I think that's all the little updates we have for now. I'll be sure to post more next week.
