love how i said i would update ASAP on the cake tasting etc and now it's thursday. ((sorry)) it's been one of those weeks. no surprise down here!
wendy and i set off to charlotte around eight in the morning on monday and got there fairly early before our appointment so we decided to stop in and see my grandmother. this is my mother's mother and she has been battling cancer so i really wanted to go see her and introduce her to brent's mom. we visited for a while and updated her on what we were doing and got to hear how she had been. it was good to be there, even for only a short time.
we pulled up at 'the wow factor cakes' and amy had a bunch of beautiful white on white and ivory cakes in the window with different textures, etc. so i knew it was the place! i gave her pictures of cakes that i loved and elements on my dresses and we came up with an amazing cake! i won't give details, you'll have to wait until the wedding! after that we headed over to j majors where i got to try on my reception dress again and get it ordered. luckily it will be here before my ceremony dress so there won't be any hassle with doing fittings and alterations with two dresses at two different stores! i am SO excited about both dresses. they are both very different from one another and i absolutely adore them. only a few more months!
exciting news for today, my best friend and matron of honor, laura, found out that she and her husband ben will be having a baby boy!! i've predicted three babies so far and i've been right on all of them! maybe i should go into business. she will be due a few weeks after the wedding and we are all SO excited for them!
tomorrow after payroll is finished and i get my check in the bank, i am heading down to ocean isle for a much needed girls weekend! it will be the first time everyone has gotten together in a while, plus some new friends that haven't been down there before so i am very much looking forward to it!
as for the house; the electricians have almost all of the light fixtures up. i have to make a decision about one more in the loft. the ceilings are too low for the fan that we bought so i have to go back to lowe's tomorrow and get something called a "bumper fan" which flush mounts to the ceiling. brent's friend alex has an uncle that does masonry work, so he put in our stone hearth and it looks fantastic. now we just have to get the floor stained, get some cabinets, vanities, and finish the hood extension. oh and have the toilets and faucets and stuff done. the tile guy came today also and he should start on monday laying the tile in the master shower and around the tub. i picked out some beautiful stone tile at the tile center in columbia that should look awesome with the floor and pecky cypress walls in the bathroom. hopefully not too much longer and we will be in there!
dad gave me an old light fixture that used to be in the library at christ school, where he went to prep school. Lord only knows how old the thing is but i am putting it in my loft/office. the electricians had to rewire the entire thing so hopefully it will work!! :)
everything is looking up! get to see everyone tomorrow and have a little time off from the farm. i can't wait!
