1. Happy Friday! This week seemed to fly by! On Wednesday, my office held an important Leadership Lunch and Learn session with over 50 participants. I was a little nervous to speak in front of such knowledgeable guests but did well with my 10 minute presentation!
2. My little sister heads back to college this weekend, so we finished our bridesmaids dress shopping! Woo! Although I originally wanted the girls to be in floor-length gowns, none of the styles they tried one wowed me. I didn't want them to wear cocktail dresses, plus we were having trouble because none of the cocktail dresses came in extra length, and my little sister is wonderfully tall! That was a problem with the floor-length gowns, too.
3. In the end, the perfect dress showed up: a beautiful tea length dress, which we're going to pair with a chiffon shrug.
4. If you are a New Yorker, please join me in writing our NYS Legislature to ask them to vote NO on the misleading and destructive "Reproductive Health" Act.
5. One extra thing I love about Downton Abbey: my grandparents watch the show, too! It's so fun to share a common tv show with them. "Oooh, did you watch on Sunday?" my grandma asked when I stopped by to visit last night. So cute. They aren't following my other favorites: Nashville, Revenge, and Switched at Birth.
6. This weekend Bryan and I are knocking more things off our wedding to-do list: we are going to Macy's to register, picking up our invitations from the Wedding Center, and researching honeymoon spots. We are leaning towards visiting the US Virgin Islands, so if you know any all-inclusive resorts there, please let us know!
7. My other plans for the weekend include going to confession and interviewing a Youth Group for work!
Have a wonderful weekend!
That's such a pretty bridesmaid's dress! Is it the coral color (my fave)?! I think tea-length dresses are so pretty, and have even seen some wedding dress styles that I think are nice--not quite as traditional, but somehow still classic. Google Audrey Hepburn's Funny Face wedding gown and you'll get an idea of what I'm rambling about =) Have fun with all your wedding prep this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes, coral is our color! The dress look so classic and retro. I love it :) Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI was about to ask the same question! Very pretty color and a great style :)
Deleteooooo I love Nashville too! That show is so good.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I honeymooned in Scotland and it was awesome! We rented a car and roadtripped. We got to spend time with "the locals" and it was an adventure and a lot of fun. We hiked and walked through castles and ate yummy Scotch pies. The cost was pretty reasonable. Maybe you just want to lay on a beach and have free drinks and be hot. But if you don't - I suggest Scotland! :) Fin.
I love Scotland! I visited for a week two years ago when my college friend was studying at St. Andrew's! What a wonderful honeymoon you must have had! We do want to lay on a beach, have free drinks, and be hot, haha! I'd also like to go kayaking.
DeleteLove that dress. So simple and elegant. I hope your state gets the word out and that bill does not pass.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous! I love the color. Wedding stuff is so exciting!! I'll be praying for you two! :)
