I think!
I picked up the shoes and after a 4th trip to Penolia's to have some minor corrective dying they are ready to wear! I hope...depends on what they look like when I get to my car to see how they dried! Here is a sneak peek:

Long time, no post
Such a delay in posts. All I can say is it has been quite busy around here!
WEDDING UPDATE
The tie dilemma has been resolved. Matt took it upon himself to find one! He got it at The Locker Room- he could not have been more pleased with himself. And I must say, it is absolutely perfect! I made him take a picture of the flowers with him- that did NOT please him, but he actually took it in there once he knew they had a fuschia tie! So proud of him!
By the way, it takes JUST AS MUCH planning to do a small wedding as it does a big one. Not as easy as it looks! I will say I have been pretty successful in cutting out the stress thus far. Ask me again in September how it went in the end!
Anyone know how to lose 10 punds in a month? I SWEAR I could do it in college-what in the world is the problem?!?!
Below are the flowers that the floral designer is using for the wreaths. I will carry a lot of the same but with more fuschia and less orange.
ACTIVITY UPDATE
I just returned from a nice relaxing and fun trip to the beach with a couple of girlfriends. Lots of food, a little sun and great times~ thanks girls!!!
I will post a picture or 2 later- but not all of them!!!
Matt is currently learning a lot at a Continuing Legal Education Seminar at Harvard that they go to every year. Gives me LOTS of time to do wedding stuff...and watch all of the movies he won't! I am going to see Mama Mia with Cousin Megan tonight- can't wait!
He goes to VEGAS next week- someone had better find me something to do!
BABIES
If anyone would like to, Wendy is taking bets ($500) on our first child's arrival. She said things will be in the works this time next year- I took that bet and I will win! Matt's response was that Wendy better be ready to pay up- not respectable to not pay a bet you lose!!! OH- forgot the best part- he said he was taking bets for $1000 that I would be trying to have the conversation with him before this time next year- HA!
What else?
I have errands to run...more later!!!

Tie Options
Ok- Kristen said go with the $3.75 tie- I tend to agree, but I could never tell Matt it was $3.75. I bought a tie online the other night (see above) but it isn't solid and isn't as formal as a solid but the dots are so small it may still look solid. First thing Matt says is "What brand is it?". A discussion about snobbery and my willingness to wear Target clothes ensues! He says it's about quality. Guess what- it's one night, he will never have to wear it again...but what do I know?

All Tied Up
Ok- Iam not a good blogger!
I have NO extra time right now and what extra time I have is spent chasing down wedding details. That being said, I need HELP!
I have a very resourceful friend helping me look right now but we are having an awful time trying to find a solid raspberry/fuschia colored silk tie. NOT hot pink- more purpley than that. Here is a link (the raspberry) to something in that color:
http://www.solidcolorneckties.com/index.cfm/fa/subcategories.main/parentcat/9346/subcatid/31208
I would love to find a good quality tie in this color, but don't think I won't try the $3.75 raspberry tie as a last resort!!!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
THANKS!

My First Post!
Yikes!!! I have never blogged before but thought I would give it a try since everyone else has jumped on the bandwagon! I am not a creative writer so I doubt that anyone will ever pass along my blog as a phenomenal read. But, I will do my best... I will say that I am impressed that this thing has spellcheck. Wonder why so many people don't use it?
So, here goes...
I live in Montgomery and I love it. Never thought I would, but it really is a great place to be for the most part. I am currently working as a staff attorney at a large law firm and I am engaged to Matt, a criminal defense lawyer. I was just telling someone recently that all of my life I have LOVED to argue. Ask anyone in my family; I'd argue with a brick wall is what they used to say. Until Matt. It's really not much fun to argue with someone who never concedes. Quite boring actually... so I just let him win. We have a neighbor and friend who just LOVES to argue with him so I do benefit from observing at times.
We are currently planning a wedding, for the last weekend before football season. I just decided that we had to get it out of the way before the big day...the season opener! I mean, who wants to plan around an Alabama or Auburn home game??? That way the knot will be "tide" by the time we are on our way to the first tailgate...and we can concentrate on what really matters...Alabama football! Can't wait!
Well, it is a beautiful day and I am going to try my best to enjoy it. Hope everyone is having a great week! More later....
