I can't believe I have not had time to post my wonderful news! When my family came to visit my mom and I found the most beautiful wedding gown!
I had looked at many dresses online and of course, tried on my favorite first. I liked it but my mom thought there was something missing. As soon as I tried the second dress on I knew it was The Dress! It is so stunning. When I walked out my mom's jaw dropped and all she said was that's it. That is your wedding dress. It was so fun trying on veils with the dress. To be absolutely sure though I tried on 5 more gowns but just kept coming back to the second dress.
I can't post pictures because Ken looks at this and he is the one person who cannot see my dress. I can't wait to see his face when I am walking down the aisle.
I planned to wear ballet slippers but my dress did not need any alterations (other than the bustle) if I wore heels which was very surprising so I opted to go for the heels. I wear them all the time and Ken is so much taller than me that I really had no objections to heels.
Brad is taking our engagement photos on October 18th. I am very excited. We will have a dressy outfit, a casual (sweater and jeans) outfit and a fun outfit. We are both Dallas Cowboys fans (along with most of the people in our immediate families) so we are going to do some fun shots in some Cowboys gear. It will be cute.
We also got Ken's wedding band last week. It is titanium or tungsten I forget which one. A company here in Omaha was having a liquidation sale and we got a VERY good deal on it. It is beautiful and compliments my ring very well.
As summer is over life is getting very busy. Between work, Mary Kay and church it seems we don't have any extra time. Not to mention wedding planning. It makes life interesting though and from what I hear life never slows down. :)
Neeko is learning to do her commands now with only hand signals. She is so smart! She can sit, stay, lay down, rollover, shake, high five, bow and a few more. She knows how to sit and lay down with just the hand signals. I am working on all of them though.\
If you didn't know my brother is getting to be an EXCELLENT motocross racer. He has now finished in first place twice this season and will finish second overall for the season. Way to go, Nate!! I am so proud of him. I wish I could have attended more of his races this year but with working Sundays I haven't been able to. Next summer should be much better.
Friday I am going on a campus tour of the College of Saint Mary here in Omaha. I want to get my masters in teaching and their school has an excellent program. Ken and I are still talking about my options and hopefully we will make a decision as to which school to attend soon.
I hope everyone is doing well. I hope to see you all soon!
With love, Mrs. Ross... to be
