Girls day out.....

Today the ladies and I went wedding dress shopping!!!

Even though it was the coldest day, it was so much fun! Mom, Kelly, Darcy, and Denise and Shannon went with me and I was so blessed to have them come along! Kelly even brought all of us huge chocolate bars for the day and they turned out to be a big hit when we were all exhausted and hungry! Thank you Kel!!!!

We started out at Candlelight Bridal in Chillicothe and had a great time there! I think I found THE Dress there!!! But just to make sure, we drove up to Columbus to David's Bridal after getting some lunch and picking up Shan. The day was supposed to be pretty short but we ended up not getting back until about 7pm!

It's interesting how when the right dress comes along you just know! And as much as I was expecting to feel the same excitement about another dress or two, I had my heart set on the one I found at Candlelight! I would love to post a picture or describe it but I just can't do that! I love surprises!!! I just prayed that I would find the right dress and I believe that God provided something so much better than I thought I was looking for!!!! He is good!!!

Well, since I can't post any pictures of our dress shopping extravaganza, Here is the link for some of the new JEWELRY that I just made!

I pray that you all have a great Christmas week!

Home Again...

Hello Friends and Family and Merry Christmas!

Finals are finished, grades are coming in, and I am happy to be home!

Since I've been home, I've been sleeping in a little, spending time with my family and I have loved being able to watch the snow fall! I am home when I finally get to see real snow!

I hope to post some pictures of family and friends sometime this weekend, especially all my little nieces and nephews that will be here Saturday! My neices, Bella and Sophie have definitely been keeping me busy and the boys will come home this weekend! I can't wait!

Next week I will do some more wedding planning I hope and Monday all of the wonderful women in my life are coming with me to go dress shopping!!!! I would love to post pictures of that but I don't want to spoil the surprise for Benj!

Today some friends from North Carolina are coming and will spend the rest of the week with Benj and I. They came last year around Christmas time and I am so excited to have them back! I have also been making lots of jewelry and will have a Jewelry Party this Saturday if any of you would like to join us! Let me know and I send you the details!

That's everything that's going on this week and next and again, I hope to get some good pictures up here for everyone to see! I love and miss you all and pray that your Christmas Season is a great one!
