I've returned 3 of 4 wedding dresses and am sticking with the first one. I've tweaked it yet again to make it work (for now) and I got the most amazing deal on some L.A.M.B. couture heels (list price: $425 Nordstrom rack price: $256, my price: $66) Feelin good about the day's accomplishments.
To top it off Dez and I were accepted into the Temple View Housing Apartments which we were originally 150 on the waiting list.
Things are finally falling into place.

Bye new dress
I got the Neiman Marcus dress yesterday and I'm ready for my refund already. It was just too dark of a color and just not right. Like I said, my dream wedding dress is just that, a dream. It does not exist. Well I havent given up and have 2 more on the way from a vintage style LA shop. They at least have my size which is a good start. So now we wait again. The place I ordered the two dresses from is Unique Vintage . Aye yai yai.
On the bright side I just scored some major scholarships to take care of the rest of school, which happens to be December. My classes for Spring Term are actually enjoyable and not too stressful which is a nice way to ease into my first break in a year starting in June. (I'm taking Multicultural Woman's Studies, Anthropology: Material Culture, and New Testament.) Then the final stretch July to December.
Also may I recommend Green & Black's Organic Chocolate
This post is all over the place, just like my life!
I've been hyper sensitve to consumption and "stuff" lately due to my material culture class and am trying to SIMPLIFY.

old dress...meet new dress
Yup, I found a different one. And no Dez doesn't know I have 2 now. and yes it's going to stay that way until we take our pictures. This one is completely different, but I love it. I don't want to post pictures of it yet, but it's short. not traditional at all. and it's from Neiman Marcus so you know it's classy (or just cost was too much than it's actually worth).
we've gotten some wedding presents in the mail now that our announcements are out and I'm way more excited than Dez is when they come. He'll appreciate it all later when we actually have a place of our own to put it all.
