She's a Greek Goddess

So event #1 complete. I went with M so she could try on wedding dresses. In one hour we tried on about 8 different dresses in all sorts of shapes and designs. I'm going to see if she will let me post a pic of the favorites. She was absolutely gorgeous in all of them of course but there is one that really stood out for me and I think this might be "the" dress for her. She just melted when she tried it on....okay, in case I can't post a pic I will describe it to you. It was a heavy, cream colored, satin material, one shoulder (left) with a rhinestone broach holding the shoulder. The back had a fairly small train with the shoulder having a "tail" as well. It is absolutely breathtaking and really resembles a greek goddess dress. Hopefully she will let me post a pic for you!
I started off the weekend doing my regular shopping and fun coupon shopping. Saturday I got to spend several HOURS BY MYSELF SHOPPING. (You moms will understand just how important this is.) It was so nice to leisurely walk around the stores and not have to keep your toddler happy while you rushed through hoping you didn't miss anything from your list. I got lots of free makeup from CVS, some Crayola Colorwonder stuff recommended by S from Target for the plane ride and another present for K&T, fun stuff from Wal-Mart too. Then I met M at Olive Garden for a much needed drink before the wedding dress fun. Sunday I took the little monster with me so DH could have some alone time this weekend as well. She and I hit several CVSs, Walgreens, and other grocery stores for our weekly shopping/fun couponing trips. We spent our Labor Day at home relaxing. DH grilled out and we pretty much played all afternoon with our little princess. I did give her a little bitty baby doll that I bought for her to take on the plane with us. It is small enough to fit in her backpack. I will take a pic of her tonight and post it as well. She was rocking her and singing "Rock a Bye Baby". It was so stinking cute.
