Wedding Update

I have discovered Pinterest!! What can I say...I'm addicted!! So many wonderful ideas on there. I have done a lot of planning and it is all becoming a realization. Monday my mom and I went up to Troutdale and met with the florist and photographer with my good friend Heather, who is amazing to say the least. As soon as I realized that I had to plan everything, I almost freaked out because I have never ever planned a wedding!! Mind you, I was the maid of honor at one wedding, however I missed the whole thing because I was in the hospital with Emily after I gave birth to her! Heather used to be a wedding planner and is my life saver at this moment! Things I have decided on: The location: The Troutdale House. Amazing to say the very least! The Date: September 15th, 2013 The Wedding Party: My maid of honor is my very best friend Alicia. Bridesmaids will be my friends Jennifer, Tiffany and Heather. And of course Fiona and Emily will be my flower girls!! Flowers: Sunflowers (been my favorite flower since I was 10!) Colors: Pale yellow and Sage I am so excited! I have not even looked into wedding dresses because I would like to lose some weight, ok...a lot of weight. I know realistically I won't lose a whole lot, but any weight I can lose, I will be thrilled with. The dieting has already begun and have already gotten comments on weight loss. Success to me! May I figure I will start looking at dresses. On Wednesday next week I am taking the girls and we are going to Portland to do some cake testing. What 7 and 9 year wouldn't love to skip school for the day to taste cake?! Plus...we will already have to be up there any ways for Emily's appointment. Oh, which leads me to Emily's appointment! I FINALLY got a call from Dorenbecher...she has her consult next Wednesday and the sleep study on March 10th (is that a Monday?!) Whatever that Monday is! I am so happy. Finally, we are getting somewhere. Emily is scared to pieces, but she is not a fan of doctors. She hates hospitals even more. I do believe she hates hospitals now because she associates them all with her papa's death. Poor kid. That is what is new with me. I promise, I will post pictures soon! Lot's of fun stuff going on!
