Honeymoon

Jimmy and I are pretty sure we picked our honeymoon spot today. We are going to Aruba and we are trying to decide between two resorts, but it looks like its going to be the Divi Aruba. Here's the link if you want to check it out! http://www.diviaruba.com/index.php It's so exciting to have this part of the wedding picked out. Neither one of us has ever been somewhere tropical. The only place we have ever flown together was to New York City, so we knew no matter where we went, we would have a blast! Plus, this is coincidentally the same spot Jen and Matt went on their honeymoon, so we know it will be amazing!

Christmas Tree

Today I went with Jenny, Matti and Cadi to cut down our Christmas tree. Jimmy and I have never gotten a tree together before. Our apartments have always been too small and I think last year we were just too overwhelmed with moving into the condo to deal with one. Unfortunately Jimmy had to work today, so he couldn't come along, but he's off tomorrow so we're going to decorate it. We're going to play some Christmas music, drink hot cocoa with Kahlua and trim the tree! With no snow on the ground, it doesn't feel much like December 6th. Hopefully a Christmas tree will get us in the holiday spirit!

Who Knew Trying on Dresses Was So Dangerous?

So, as I stated in my previous posts, my mom, sister and I went to David's Bridal in Albany on Saturday. They were so incredible, I really wish we had one around here. I have been to quite a few different bridal stores and this one was by far the most helpful. It was a little overwhelming at first. There were so many dresses, so many people and one salesperson to three brides. You really wouldn't know it, though. My girl moved so quickly, I was never once searching for her for help. She immediately started grabbing dresses off my list and when we had enough to fill a dressing room, she scooted me away from the gowns, asked me my bra size and told me to go grab some heels. I told her 32 double D and made my way off to the wall of shoes. I picked a pair that looked most like ones that I might wear and potentially the same heel height, 7 inch spikes. I met my sister in my dressing room and she informed me of the instructions from the DB girl. I was to first put on my shoes, then the bra and then the thingy that goes under the dress that makes it poof out. This is a little silly, I thought. Why would I put on the shoes before the skirt? But, I did as I was told and as soon as I lifted one foot to put on the skirt, I realized I should have trusted my instincts. I immediately lost my balance, but don't worry, I quickly caught it by stabbing my 7 inch heel into my thigh. I tried not to yelp or make too big of deal, just took some deep breaths, blinked back the tears and told myself beauty is pain or however that stupid saying goes. I walked funny the rest of the morning because I didn't want to get the skirt all bloody since I wasn't about to buy it due to my lack of balance. Although I have developed some bruising, I think my thigh is slowly getting better. I didn't walk as funny today as I had to on Sunday and Saturday and I have been using Neosporin like Danielle suggested. Still, I wanted to share my battle wound with all of you because I'm not sure you would be able to imagine the actual damage otherwise. Please take my advice, don't ever try on clothes wearing heels, it just isn't worth the damage.
