Bridesmaids Weekend: Part One (Dressing Shopping)

-
This past weekend was the weekend I had planned for quite a long time. Ill take you day by day…
Friday I left my house around 1pm. I was going to head to Burlington MA to go to a bookstore I like to go to. What should have taken me 2 hours…took me much longer. I didn’t arrive at the book store until around 415. I did my thing there and then left quickly. I GPS my way to Julies house. I was leaving at 4:50 and it said ETA was 5:24. Well I didn’t arrive at Julies until 6:30. Then to add to it, it became dark, and started to rain. So by the end of my drive, I was more than happy to be at Julies and out of the car! Julie and I hung out for the night and then we went to bed.

Saturday 7:30 AM my alarm is going off. We had a few things to do in the AM. First we picked up my friend Athina down the road. Then as we headed back to Julies we picked up Marks cousin Janette. Then we all headed to Davids Bridal in Danvers MA.

When we got there we signed in, and then we were told to go and look through some of the dresses. So we all picked out some dresses in different sizes so people could try them on. Then our assistant named Alla came over and told us to follow her. As we were following her, another dress that was pink with pearls caught my eyes. I told the girls to grab a size that fits. Once we got to the dressing room Alla said that the pink dress was a “special occasion dress” not a “bridesmaid dress” and that the pink was the only color it came in. It just happened that it was the right color. So we all tried on dresses and found some we like, and others that we hated. Then we tried on the pink dress and we all really liked it. So we got a pink dress in everyone’s size, and had them all try it on. I sent a pic to Mark, Mom, and Mona to show them. We eventually left the apt without any decisions. Below are some pictures from dresses that were tried on.





Alfred Angelo was our next stop. At firs the lady checking us in was very rude to me, and I was kinda turned off right from the beginning. But they took us early, and we started to try on dresses. There was one that we liked, however it was slightly tighter, and would make sitting down uncomfortable. We were at the apt for almost an hour before we ran out of dresses to try on. There was one that was very flattering, but to me it was a typical bridesmaids dress. Below is a picture of that dress.



We all headed to lunch, to discuss and think. Since we had carpooled from Davids, we had to go back anyways, so we decided if we could try on the pink ones again. At first they were extremely busy. We told them we could wait, and we were in no hurry. Alla eventually came and got us into dressing rooms and the girls tried them on again. We looked at different accessories to pair it with such as jewelry, sashes and shoes. We all decided that we loved the dress. Alla sized all the girls, and we wrote down the measurements and sizes. I just wanted to show mom once I got home, then I would tell the girls to order them. The dress was $99!! Cant beat that!

Happy New Years

Every year people make all kinds of resolutions... and typically people drop them by the second week in january, or if they are lucky, they can hold on until february. I had seen online the other day someones resolution was for people to start loving who they were and to accept themselves and to stop trying to always change.  NOW, i love that resolution and i hope people are able to accept who they are, except in my case i am not healthy, and not only do i want to become healthy, but i am stretching for a much larger goal, and i hope that i can accomplish it! Every year we always see the magazines post online and publish in their magazines people who are now half their size, and the before and after pictures. I want to be one of those people. I want to work and push hard to become someone who is proud for becoming healthy and fit.  I do have something as motivation, and that would be my cruise that is next year. I DO NOT want to look the way i currently am on the cruise, nor do

Safe Haven

 **SPOILER ALERT** I typically do not like to read the books that get turned into movies because i will usually end up hating the book or the movie. However, when i was up at bowling i got talking to one of the other girlfriends who hang out up there and we got talking about Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks. She suggested to read it, and she even gave me her copy of the book.  Ive had it for a few months now, and still didnt read it. I started about a month ago, and for the first few chapters, the book followed the movie, so i could almost see the movie playing in my head as i read. So i put the book down for a while. Just this past week i picked it back up again, and i finished it within days. The story is different.  In the movie Alex finds out about Katie's past because of the "wanted" poster up with her picture, however it really plays more into him finding out and its more a gradual thing in the book. It also shows her relationship with Jo more than in the movie,

Visit a Corn Maze  On 10/23/14 Mark and I went to a corn maze before Michael's football game. It was shaped like a vikings hat, and it was actually really fun. I had been to one when i was little and i had always wanted to go back to one. I was finally glad that i found one that was affordable! Last year all the corn mazes i had found cost about $30 or more. This one was $7! Perfect and i can not wait to go again next year.  Visit a Fall Festival  On 10/25/14 the town of Essex, CT held their annual pumpkin festival. I had been many years prior when i was babysitting someone, and i loved it! This year i made sure to look up the date, and when Mark got out of work we drive 30 minutes. The festival was fun! They had all the pumpkins that were carved and lit up. They had a band playing music and food and hot chocolate. It was a nice little festival to walk around together with my boy.  Carve Pumpkins  As you know we had bought pumpkins a few weeks ago,
