Dress arrived!

Yippee!!!! The dress came today and I am soooooo excited! I tried it on, fits great and it just looks fabulous! So very pretty! I was so bummed yesterday when it didn't show, btu now it is here! Yea!!!!!

Argh, dress didn't come yet!

OK, so I waited around yesteday hoping my dress was going to get here, but I checked the shipping info on it, and it made it into Denver last night. So maybe today? I was really looking forward to getting it though. If you wanna see what it looks like, check out this link...

I tried to post the pic on here, but it is copyrighted, so I will have to wait until I actually get. And then it will just be on the hanger, not on me, no peeking yet!



But here is the cake! Can you say DELICIOUS! It is dark, semi-sweet icing, marzipan fruit, and the cake itself is a dark rich chocolate, with raspberry filling. I tried it downtown at the baker I am using, Ben Appetit, and it was honestly the best cake ever. We are thinking of doing some chocolate covered strawberries alongside it.

Oh honey!




This is Oscar, our beloved 15 pound cat. That is not a typo, he really does tip the scales at 15lbs. Our friend Sammy V came over, and when he first saw him, he asked "Oh my gosh, is that a bobcat?!" No Sam, he isn't a bobcat. We tried to dress Oscar up for Halloween, he was going to be a bumblebee, but the little jacket wouldn't button close, so we had to take it back! Poor Oscar...

Update on us

Ok, sorry it has taken so long to start posting stuff on here, and it probably won't be too frequent, but alas I shall try!
Work has been really busy, we had our annual code change in the end of April and I had to stay in the field for a week! Arghand I thought going out for 24hours was bad! I shall never complain about going on alert again! But that is done so it is starting to settle down.
Wedding planning is going pretty well. I have my dress, I am waiting on it to get here today, yippee! It is champagne with bronze and gold ribbons on it, just gorgeous. Got the cake done last week, we have our cantor--thanks Hannah! The cake is going to be fabulous it is a CHOCOLATE and I do mean ALL chocolate cake--yum! Since everything is going to be small and very personal we are doing what we really want to do instead of doing things, "because that is what everyone else has done". Honeymoon is going to be in Puerto Vallarta, MX. Pacific side should be safer as far as hurricanes go, which is a concern for us b/c we are going in prime hurricane season.
Still looking at flowers, may do silk bouquets and actual flowers for the centerpieces, not 100% sure yet on that. Check out where the reception is going to be at http://www.naglewarrenmansion.com
When I get more stuff to write, I will!
