So I had another very vivid wedding dream last night. Maybe because it's only TWO WEEKS AWAY!!! I don't know why I remember all this stuff...but it always seems so real.

The wedding began like normal, when my bridesmaids began walking down the aisle, their dresses became orange and a fan turned on and they began flowing in the wind. It all went downhill from there. The wedding turned into a cruise ship show. Like Vegas-style show. Natalie got on stage and began singin "It's In His Kiss" by Cher and then more musical numbers followed. Somewhere along the line a Little Mermaid number began, complete with inflatable whales and "under the sea" bubbles. My bridesmaids danced and sang through numerous costume changes and the next thing I knew I was supposed to step into a giant inflatable whale's mouth to be "swum" down the aisle. Then the whale deflated and I was standing with my dad in a black and white Vegas number ready to walk down the aisle. Don't ask why THIS was the point where I felt it got to be a little too much. Then Dan's mom walked out all pissed off. Then I woke up.

I don't know why I have weird dreams. And I don't know why I remember them. I think this one may be because the wedding is so close and it's starting to feel like a circus! Everything will work out fine. One day at a time!

So I rarely do this. But I'm doing it now because I need to vent a little bit.

I'm always taking care of people. And I love it! I love making sure everyone is happy, I love buying gifts. I'm the person who if I see something at the store that I know you would like, I would probably buy it for you, just because. I love planning parties, and if it's your birthday, you'd better believe we're gonna have a good time! I'm the peacemaker. And I'm not even the middle child, I always thought that was weird. Being the only child I've always been told that I'm spoiled and selfish even. I know that I'm spoiled...but that's not really my fault. My parents didn't have any other kids to spoil, so what am I supposed to do? They did a really great job making sure I wasn't a brat, though. I take care of my things and I know what a dollar is worth. I think I'm a pretty smart cookie when it comes to money and material things.

What I want to know is why it feels like no one ever does this for me. Why doesn't someone throw me a good party? Maybe because my bachelorette party is coming up in a couple months and I'm mentally sabotaging it because I see it ending up like my 21st birthday. I just feel like I'm always watching out for everyone else but nobody else is really watching out for me. Dan excluded of course, but it's expected of him :) I'm talking mainly about my friends.

This is a pity party because I'm planning this wedding and 3 out of 4 of my bridesmaids don't live anywhere near me. So it's hard to get excited about wedding stuff with no one to share it with. And my mom just turns it into a circus and I feel like I can't get out of the huge white wedding circus tent.

Everything will be ok. I just want the wedding to be over, for Dan and I to go on our AMAZING European honeymoon and finally be together. Life will be good.

Thanks for letting me get it out! Ok, pity party over :) Enjoy Wednesday!

I have a little crush on Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother. He's super cute, and totally reminds me of a crush I had on a boy when I was little :) Pretty sure I'm going to finish watching season three tonight.

This weekend my bridesmaids are coming to Des Moines for a dress fitting and a day of pampering :) Unfortunately Megan can't come, but I will still have fun with Rachel, SueAnn and Natalie! Dress fitting, then lunch, then pedicures. What a great day!

I bought some new boots today. I'm going to the Sugarland concert tomorrow night and I wanted some cool non-"cowboy" boots. I'm excited for the show. Dan's mom and sisters are coming so it's a girl's bonding night.

I bought a wedding gown this weekend. It's really pretty and I'm kind of glad to cross it off my list. My mom bought her MOB (isn't that funny!? Mother-Of-the-Bride...MOB...ironic?) dress this weekend too. Charcoal grey and  she will look very nice in it.

Our engagment pictures which were supposed to be two weeks ago were cancelled due to rain, so we got them taken this past Friday. We had a lot of fun and we even got Marley to sit in a few of them.

Bridesmaids are next! Watch out ladies!

I'm loving my new bag. I almost didn't get the green, but I'm SO glad I did. I'm not working at Coach as much as I used to, but I'm glad I still got to stay. I don't know if I could live without my Coach bags! (sounds superficial, I'm aware.....but everyone has their guilty pleasures....mine are handbags)

Love to all:)
