Sept 11- Day 42

Left to Right: Me, Madison, Kristen, Kaytie, Veronica, Shelly

Today was Bridesmaids Dress Day! YAY! I let the girls pick out the dress they wanted! I am so excited because they are all so lovely (girls and dresses both). The only requirement was that they all be the same color, long, and satin! I am so glad that is all done. And I am sure it is going to be stunning with all the dresses in black! I can't hardly wait! Since today was Bridesmaids day I think I will tell you a little about each and why they are in the wedding!

Kristen and Madison: I have known Kristen since Kindergarten. We would go to each others birthday parties and had many sleepovers. We have gone to school together our ENTIRE lives including college. We were even roommates for two years in college. We have had our share of crazy adventures. Including sneaking guys into our dorms, dropping off tv's at ex-boyfriends houses, crazy summer nights of kool-aid, sand volleyball, and pictionary! We will be friends forever. Regardless of where either of us ends up.Madison is a mini Kristen! She is nearly 3 and a crazy fun little girl who is just like her mom! She is going to be our flower girl and I have no idea how its going to work out! She is going to be a hoot!


Kaytie: Well, Kaytie is my sister and MOH. We currently live together and let me tell you she is the best roommate ever. Why you ask? Because I can tell her exactly how I feel about all those annoying things she does! LOL! Kaytie and I shared a room for 16 years. Our room was our imagination station! We decorated the walls with Backstreet Boys magazine clippings. Plastered an entire wall (literally) with posters of Titanic and when we were younger had about a thousand barbies we played with in our custom barbie mansion that my Papa Frank built us! Kaytie drives me INSANE, but she is my sister after all!

Veronica: I have only known Veronica for a short time. She is TJ's daughter. I get an instant family when I marry him. Veronica is great. She is like any typical teenager trying to figure out and find her way in this crazy world. I look forward to making her apart of my family permanently and making fun and happy memories with her. That is if my crazy family didn't scare her off today! LOL!

Shelly: Shelly is my vampire book suggesting, True Blood loving, OSU crazy, will tell you anything friend! I have worked with Shelly for a few years now and she is actually moving on to a new career as mommy! Peyton is super lucky to get to have her mom at home! Shelly and I went to Beijing together for the Paralympic Games in 2008. Nothing will bring you closer than an 18 hour flight and being in a massive city where not a soul speaks English! Hehe! You want to talk about crazy! She is the kind of person that will dance on the street in front of a Karaoke Bar in China! Where I am like "Shelly don't go there we will get killed!"

So there you have it! My bridal party! They all represent some part of my life and I hold them all dear to my heart! A bride couldn't ask for better girls! :)

My Aunt Becky on the end in the black went with us today and it took her nearly all day to figure out Veronica was TJ's daughter! It dawned on her about lunch time! So there you have it, new family!

When I got home from all the bridesmaid craziness, guess what was in the mail...MY VEIL! It was a happy wedding day! I want to wear it all the time and I think tomorrow if I have time I am going to put on my dress with my veil just to get the full picture! hehehe! SSSSOOOOOOO Excited!

To top it all off! TJ and I went to see Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D tonight! I know this sounds odd, but we are both fans of the series! It was pretty darn good and the 3D was way cool!


Dang that was some day!
