All things wedding...

My wedding dress is finally here after ordering it the last of August! I went to try it on today and I must say, I don't remember it looking that good on when I first tried it on. I felt like a princess! I am super excited about the gown and cannot wait to walk down the aisle in it. Mind you, it's not very elaborate and kinda plain with some beading, but I think it is beautiful. I'm not the fancy shmancy type either, so it is perfect. The funny thing is, I let Jason see a few pics of me in different dresses I had tried on and he guessed which one I got based on how well he knows me. He's pretty smart...lol. And yes, I know he's not suppose to know what dress I got, but it's ok. We are very comfortable with telling each other everything and I wanted him to know. No surprises here but he won't get the full effect of it until he actually sees it on me. Below is a little sneak peak of what's in store...


On a lighter note, we had our engagement pics done last Sunday by Alan Hudson. He goes to our church and was referred to us by several people. We took pics downtown and at his partners farm out in Rockfield, so the pics should turn out really great. He showed us a few that he had taken and they looked wonderful. We should have them back in the next week or so, and I will post a few. He is also doing our wedding pictures and has alot of neat ideas for capturing the pics. Jason nor I want the traditional photos, we are all about individualism and trendy, so I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!

School will be wrapping up in about 4 weeks. I have a busy next month ahead of me though, with 3 papers and 12 chapter summaries left to do plus a discussion board. I am currently working on 2 of the papers and have finished about 6 of the chapter summaries. All I keep thinking is "4 more weeks...just 4 more weeks and I'll be finished"... I guess it's what gets me through. I went to pick up my cap and gown on Thursday but couldn't do to my name not being on the graduation list. I called the registrar's office and spoke with a girl who said my degree plan still had my old date of May '09 on it so she was going to forward it to someone who would check over my degree plan and email if there was anything wrong with it....well of course there was. I had taken different classes than what was initially put on there so I had to have Dr. Jones (coordinator of the post-rn program) fix it and get the signatures on it so I can graduate in December. They are so picky about those things... you would think it would be a little easier than what it actually is.

Last month quickly flew by with us attending the annual Witches Brew and BBQ festival down in Lynchburg the last two weekends of the month and then Kelly's annual fall bash at the beginning of the month. It was so nice to see everyone down in Lynchburg and the folks from back home at Kelly's. I hate that I don't get to see everyone as often as I would like too. Hopefully once school gets out, things will calm down a bit and I can visit with everyone more often.

Below is a pic of me dressed up as a zombie nurse for Kelly's fall bash. Jason did the makeup and he did an awesome job! Wouldn't you hate to see me taking care of your baby looking like this! haha.. till next time....
