I Found Another Dress

Okay, my mom and I bought my dress back in December. However, I've been having these crazy thoughts about the dress. So, while I had a little time on my hand, I started searching just out of curiosity. What I didn't expect to find is the dress that I have totally fallen in love with! I settled back in December because I wasn't in wedding mode and was just getting a dress because I needed one. On yesterday, I found the dress, my dress that I can't get out of my head. When I see it, I grin from ear to ear and I get butterflies in my stomach! I'm so excited. On top of that, the printing company sent me a copy of my invitations and reception cards. They are gorgeous!

The TREElady Has Left The Building

Today was an awesome day. I visited my friends, took pictures and at the end of the day left Atlanta City Hall West for the last time. I received all sorts of hugs, well wishes, lunch, home made cookies and a poem signed by some of my favorite people. I believe that life is full of change and chapters to our lives.

However, while waiting on my exit interview, I found another wedding dress that makes me very happy and my invitations are complete. On Saturday, when I pull out of my friend's driveway, the next chapter/adventure in the lives of Caleb and Janell will begin as we head to Baton Rouge. Wish us luck!

The Invitations Are In The Works!

This is my last week in GA and I'm getting sad. My first goal once I reached Louisiana was to get my invitations. However, after visiting with my friend Victoria, I've decided to use the guy who did her Baby Shower invitations. They were the cutest things ever and he used both sides of the card and turned the invitation into a post card.

Well, I've already submitted my order and I am now waiting on the creation Roberto at Digimon Printing will come up with. I'm so excited!!! Another task to cross off of my list.

Victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Things To Do List is complete(for now)! I have found my shoes and I got Spencer's ring. Even though they were not on my list, I found some awesome RED SHOES! Today was a very victorious shopping day and on top of that I got an awesome facial at Spa Serene. In the words of Ice Cube, It's Been A Good Day!

I'm Exhausted!

Greetings, wow, 2 posts in the same week! I just can't get enough rest. Since I've gotten my wedding jewelry, I've slept a lot better, but I just haven't gotten enough. Anywho, I've taken off the next 2 days to hang out with my mom and do some packing. My mom finally ignored my OCD and cleaned out all my cabinets, told me to use the same plate and dared me to use my dishwasher. Hmmmmmm... she's got a point. I'm the type of person who wants to do everything. I have a Super Girl shirt in my drawer, but it's not working anymore, I'm done! I will pack up all access and live off of 8 towels and 3 plates. LOL

Anywho, I'm heading to the spa tomorrow with my mom. Tomorrow evening consists of shopping for my shoes and I will continue to check out invitations. The Things to Do List is getting shorter, but there isn't one thing on there that says sleep. Hmph!

Happy Belated Mother's Day!

My mom is visiting and I am really enjoying her company. I think she wants to help me pack, but I suffer from OCD (at least that's what my cousin Kendra says). I have to know where everything is, my boxes are labeled and they are categorized by rooms. Is that a little off? Anywho, my tiredness has finally caught up with me. After partying with the fiance last week, my mom's visit came right behind that. I think after the non sleep/nightmarish Friday night and waking early on Sunday morning for church, my Mother's Day was a blurrrrrr.

We went to 8am service and it was wonderful. Pastor spoke on giving honor where honor is due. Everything was going fine. Our plans for the day included a few visits, passing through Walmart and then I was going to grill some steaks and boil some crablegs for dinner. However, those plans all went to hell in a handbasket as soon as I finished my breakfast from IHOP. I proceeded to put on my pajamas and I pretty much sat on the corner of my sofa all day. I literally couldn't move.

There is only one way to solve this problem and that is to go to the spa. I made an appointment today and I am looking forward to it.

The Nightmare That Changed My Attitude!

OMG! I woke up at 5am this past Saturday in a cold sweat! Why you may ask? Well, I had a dream that it was wedding day and I was no way near prepared. I've been having a real cavalier attitude towards this entire wedding process and I think my subconscious mind is warning me.

I dreamt that it was wedding day and the limo driver was driving me around town to get shoes, my hair wasn't done, my bridesmaids had on a different color, there were extra little girls in my wedding and the more I traveled around town, the dirtier my dress got.

With that being said, I have 2 major goals for this week. 1.) Get my jewelry (got that today) and 2.) get my shoes. My dress arrives next month, so I have that on point. Also, as soon as I get to Baton Rouge, I'll be getting my invitations. From now on, my mindset is focused on November 13th!
