Day 91 = no wedding. We were too busy spending the evening getting a stove and carpeting for one of our rentals and then relaxing and watching movie.
Day 90
Today was, well, pretty much all about wedding. I picked Misty up this morning and we headed to South Bend to get my shoes and so I could try my dress on. I figured that since I was going to be there, I may as well bring my dress and see how it was fitting. Got to South Bend, picked up Mom and headed to David's Bridal. Thank God I brought my dress and tried it on there!! Misty went in the dressing room with me and got it on me just fine. Of course, it's a pretty heavy and poofy dress, so I was holding the back of it up as I walked out of the dressing room. As soon as I got out of the dressing room where there was more room around me to drop it, the zipper pulled apart. Yeah, no good. So that's why I say, thank God it happened there. The lady from alterations came out to look at it. They'll either fix the zipper or order a new zipper and replace it. Basically, the dress was too heavy and the zipper couldn't handle it. =P I still have a few more pounds to lose before it fits comfortably, but there is no problem zipping it. Woo hoo! I just can't take a deep breath when I have it on. LOL Yeah, little shallow breaths really suck. Not so good.
And, I'm glad it happened there, because that means I don't have to pay for it to be altered. That's nice. Now I just have to keep working on eating good, drinking lots of water, and start REALLY exercising. =)
I also went there with a specific pair of shoes I was going to buy. Yeah, I got them on, and I just didn't like them so much anymore. So I ended up getting a different pair I liked much better. =)
Yeah, it was a good day. Now I'm just sitting at home this evening, waiting for Myles to get home from schmoozing with a vendor from work at an airshow on Lake Michigan. So I'm sure he had a great day as well...except now he's going to have "plane" fever the way I get baby fever. For serious.

I spent day 90 with Tera. The bridal shop fitting went awry...but as I told her, "Thank God it happened here at the shop and not at your house." That was all I was thankful for. But I'm so proud of my Tera, because all went smoothly getting in to that dress including zipping it up. There was a tiny struggle as most bodices have, but nothing compared to telling her there was two inches a year ago, that I just couldn't do anything about. SO WAY TO GO!
We shoe shopped for her shoes, and her mom too! I love this. Yes, I understand the logic in having a certain pair of shoes for your dress, I did. Life without our shoes for Tera and I, I don't think we would exist, it's the one girly pleasure we enjoy most. When you meet us on the street, don't comment on our eyes, our hair, or look at our boobs, our personality are in our shoes! Sorry Myles that you don't understand the logic, most men never do. :0)
The more we get closer to time, I am getting personally more excited. I know the things I have done, the things I have to do. Doing this for Tera is the biggest pleasure for me, the biggest thrill. It's such an important time, such a big step in her life, and it's the ONLY time she'll be in this process.
I scheduled a "girls night in" party for a few hours before the bachlorette party begins, to get us all started. Tera gets 10% of the sales to get free stuff for her honeymoon night, and this is SOOO important to me. I am hosting it, but I know this would make her happy, so I took it upon myself to do it. I hope our other maid of honor...who is in control of the bachlorette party is not mad at me (she hasn't responded) but this is important.
Not only does Tera want her wedding to be perfect (within our realm of control), but she also wants to make the honeymoon special, so I want to help anyway I can.
Oh so much more to do!!! Need to get started! Yoo hoo!
