I've heard it said that (people come into our lives for a reason...) once you find the perfect wedding dress, you'll just know. Something will click, people will cry and it will be awesome. But is that true? Or is it only true for some people?
Of the dresses I tried on so far, I liked two, and then one started to grow on me the more I looked at pictures and thought about it. But I wasn't in love with it at first.
Weddings are crazy events. We had to cut off 15 people from Tim's family, and now my mother is quickly thinking of more relatives to invite and fill up those spots :s Part of me wishes we could afford to do a bigger wedding. Part of me wishes that Tim and I would go off one Tuesday afternoon and get married on our own. I like the idea of a party, but I liked the idea of being married to Tim more.
Emotions also run high at big events. I think I've already managed to make Trish upset with me twice and it's nowhere near close to the wedding date. *sigh*

Wedding Dress
On Thursday I have requested the day off. It happens to be the day that my mother and I are going wedding dress shopping! I'm really awfully excited. Of course, I might not find anything I like, but the thought that I might is exciting.
We've so far booked the hall, the photographer, and the pastor. And we know what we're doing for music and food, we just haven't booked them yet. So we're excited.
Anyhow... I should go and get ready for work. I'm covering a shift for a co-worker who may or may not be a co-worker for much longer.

New Offices and Bookings
I had yet another infusion today. They have a brand new clinic there! Instead of the one, tiny cramped room, they have two bigger rooms, AND a storage area AND a front desk. It was nice to be in the room alone and not have a nurse hovering over you, searching your eyes for any sign of your common cold really being meningitis. (It isn't. It's a cold, I swear!)
I had a call from work this morning. It was my boss.
"Can you come in and work today?"
"No. I have my appointment to get my medication."
"Oh.. well, could you come in at 11?"
"No. It won't be done by then."
Not only was today my scheduled day off, I'm also sick! I had to cancell Sarah-Barbara Day with Sarah. Sad.
In un-sad news, Tim and I booked the German Club for our wedding! I'm so excited.. I keep trying to convince Tim to let me do things like rent plates or hire a photographer. He says it's too soon. I guess he's right. *sigh*
At Alleah's baby shower this weekend we ended up talking about the wedding. I tried to keep the talk to Alleah's little bun-in-the-oven, but hey, a room full of girls are determined to talk about weddings.
Brianna decided to throw me an engagement party. I like parties.
But when I am sick, I also like sleep. So off I go.
