So, let me begin this blog by saying that Tracy and I should win, bloggers of the year! Don't you all concur! HA Totally kidding considering we have not blogged in a month! So much has been happening this last month and it has been soo busy! Let me take you back in time for this blog- End of July!
The end of July was fast approaching which meant 1. I was packing to move back to Alabama until February 2. I was trying to balance work/spending time with my family in KY 3. Going to the beach with Tracy and his family 4. Trying to get what I could of wedding planning finished before coming back to Alabama. So needless to say, this is when the blog updates were no more! haha
So the first really exciting thing to share is....... I FOUND MY DRESS!!! It was basically spur of a moment idea when mom and I decided to go to Cincinnati one weekend on a Sunday and Monday to go wedding dress shopping! I didn't have a lot of important people with me (bridesmaids, etc), but I did have my momma who I knew wouldn't let me down!!! I definitely didn't think that I would find my dress that day. I do have to admit, I wasn't really looking forward to it. I'm awful with making decisions and just knew this was gonna be prom all over again- finding 5 or 6 dresses I wanted or part of that one and part of this one! We ventured into our first bridal boutique around 12 that Sunday afternoon. I immediately was assigned to my consultant whose name could not have been a coincidence...it was Tracy! She was great! We started grabbing tons of dresses off the racks and taking them back to the room. Before I knew it I was being strapped, zipped, buttoned, clipped, etc, etc into all of these dresses. Yes and no piles were quickly established. Deep down, I knew immediately which dress was going to be my wedding gown, but I wanted to make sure I had no regrets. I have always heard that most girls end up going back to their very first dress they try on...... and I DID!!! I fell in love and felt like a bride for the first time! It is such an amazing feeling, especially when you look over at your mom and tears are running down her face because she is so happy for you! I'm not giving any details about the dress-- to find out more, join us July 21, 2012 in KENTUCKY!!! :)
We left the bridal boutique at 5 that afternoon! No need to go to any of the other boutiques! What a relief and shot of excitement to push forward with wedding planning! The rest of the time in Cincinnati mom and I just enjoyed our time together.

To change the subject- final details and decisions were finally made for our SAVE THE DATES! The very end of July, the save the dates came in and are all ready to go as soon as I and help from my lovely bridesmaids address the envelopes! I'm so ready to send them out, but am trying to follow my handy " The everything wedding organizer" book my Matron of Honor (my sister) got me after our engagement. It's been so helpful- so I guess I have to wait a couple of more months before sending them out! But, it's okay to be excited already!!! Not much has happened with the wedding since then! I am still looking for a photographer (which I better find soon)! I'm getting more excited everyday with the color scheme and uniqueness of the wedding plans! I'm hoping everything will be perfect! I don't see how it can't be when you are marrying your best friend!!
This is just a little to catch all of you more up to date with the wedding plans- soon to come, so stay posted, is exciting stories from our beach trip and trip to Atlanta. Then we should be caught up and will do a much better job blogging on time!
Love Always,
Tracy and Jenn
