I'm a huge fan of understated beauty... And that's all I thought about... If y'all follow me on Instagram, you know that I have said Yes to the dress! And I wanna share my experience... I tried on five dresses and I'll be highlighting the three that stood out the most. The whole moment was surreal! From scheduling the appointment, the drive to Trudy's, meeting the dress consultant (Ms. Jenn), actually discussing what I wanted in a wedding dress: (With  lace, a "poof", and without a question, sleeves!) OH and DID I mention the part that I had to get half-naked in front of a complete stranger!?! YUP! So I know I wasn't going to Kleinfelds but daaaaaaamn...

OK this will be short and sweet - at least I think it will be cause I'm having to write this post from my phone... I forgot to bring my laptop when I knew we were gonna be on grandparent duty- ayayayay (VinhS family...

And a toot-toot over 1,000 views- I would be lying if I didn't let y'all know how psyched I am to know that y'all are out there reading it, big or small audience, I'm just glad that I'm not totally alone with my thoughts... all the time... Before they're offended, I should clarify, my thoughts are not bad company- In my last post, I mentioned having a dark cloud looming over my head and I'm sure that it was a combination of many things- And just when I thought the cloud was gonna get darker, right before heading to our first scouting expedition, I read a post from @theblogess, (as if by divine intervention) Ok. ...
