Moving

Moving is an adjustment! I'm still settling in and at times I miss my own place more than I did before. I guess when you 1st move it's exciting and you overlook some things you had before. Like every morning I didn't have a fenced yard like I do now, so I had to actually walk Karl outside. Every morning a friend would meet me and give a glance over the fence. I would say, "Hi".

She would watch us for a bit.
Then she'd go on her way.

I was never a big horse person until Sidekick; she's a celebrity in our old neighborhood. When Lucas was little we would walk over to Sidekick's house and feed her an apple, carrots, or sugar cubes. I miss her.

Maybe someday we'll have a horse neighbor or better yet a horse!

For now I've decided as I work on my office area at the new house- I need a horse picture. I absolutely love the horse picture at the Chelsea Hotel in NYC. It was one of the 1st things I noticed walking in there.

I wonder if that picture is still up?

Weird - it does sort of look like Sidekick. Maybe I can get Sidekick a photo-shoot.

Well- Like I said moving is an adjustment. I didn't realize how set in my ways I was until now. Somedays I'm a real baby about things. Wow. I love my new home and family. Thank God they cut me some slack!

Plus a fenced yard is great for Karl to actually be able to run free.

Today was a busy wedding day!!!!!!!!!!

Rehearsal and Ceremony business-

Tonight we are checking out a restaurant for our rehearsal which is on Halloween! Halloween is my favorite. I dress up every year but not this one. I'm excited for the rehearsal dinner which Rob's parents are doing for us. I was hoping to have it in a room so that if I am able I would do a little slide show. We'll have to see what we end up with.

I'm very unsure about a Martini Luge:

They do look like a ton of fun- but I'm unsure how this actually works- Who pours the liquor? Is there a whole Luge worker involved? I'm so set on getting this - I may even go lighter on my favors.

Dress fitting today!

Well the dress is now too big and should have been ordered smaller b/c of the neckline I may loose some of the charm of my dress :(

I should have been more forceful on having my input when ordering the dress but I was so upset that I was overweight that I let them tell me to go a size bigger.

My wonderful seamstress is also looking into taking my mom's wedding dress apart and creating me a reception dress. I'm wondering if maybe I'm too busty for the the dress I picked- being that it is an empire style. WHY do we always like things that we can't wear or have?????? She is going to let me know what she can do.

Moving - I'm also in the process of moving! We have been living at Rob's this week. Interesting. Living out of tubs and boxes SUCKS. BUT we love each other so that makes it all better. It's hard leaving my house, but I find that if I concentrate on making Rob's house OUR house I feel better. Today at the seamstress she was selling house plants and I couldn't resist an Italian plant that had beautiful pink flowers! I'm super excited to take it home to our new house.

I'm moving from a four bedroom with a finished basement to a 3 bedroom ranch so organizing and apartment living advice is so important.

I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the kitchen so I'm hoping to get some re-decorating done in there- Check this pic out:

I'm loving all the white they are showing now!
