Out of the blue... (Updated)

...but, has anyone else ever secretly wanted to be a Rockette?

***I've never had the chance to see them live, but would love to! I was actually just watching them perform a quick number on the Today show. In my opinion, it's just not the Holidays without The Rockettes.***

Thanks for the award, ladies!  Sorry I wasn't quick at posting it!  At this point, I think almost everyone has received this award and I need to turn in some homework for my online class, so I can't go through and figure out who hasn't done this yet.  So, if you haven't received this award yet and you want to take the survey, consider yourself tagged! :)  Hope everyone has had a great start to the week.  I've noticed a few new followers, so I wanted to welcome you and say hey.  Introduce yourselves, I promise I won't bite!

Elf Yourself

I kind of needed a laugh this morning.  This definitely provided it.  I purposely chose the most ridiculous faces because I knew it would make it that much better.  Enjoy and then go Elf Yourself!

Thanks for bearing with me

We are getting a little better every day.  We are having to take baby steps.  Things still hurt, but not as much as those first few days.  I am convinced we had the best vendors in the world.  All of them (except the florist, but I know she had already invested) have saved our money for when we reschedule.  They have been so gracious and supporting and understanding.  I could only hope every one in our situation would be blessed with such wonderful people.  Though the florist can't really do much of anything, she sent the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers to us on Saturday saying she was thinking of us.  Seriously, I could sing the praises of our vendors all week long.

We will reschedule, we just don't know when yet.  It will probably be sometime in January.  And you better bet your butt I'm not paying for new programs.  People will just have to look at the November 7, 2009 and deal with it.  My sister went by the florist today and picked up all of the flowers.  The florist didn't really know what to do with them so she gave us the option.  I told my sister that I would kill to see my flowers.  I think that was the thing I was most excited about.  The same florist had done my sister's wedding and she was incredible.  The bridesmaids bouquets are absolutely everything I wanted.  Chrystie described the centerpieces to me (they weren't finished, but she could get an idea) and they sounded so freakin' awesome.  I wish I could have seen all of them.  But, I know Kristi will do an incredible job the next time around, too.  I seriously wouldn't recommend anyone else to brides in Greenville.

I got tagged by MTM to do a little survey, but I'm going to hold off and doing that until Thursday when Scott is back at work.  He now has to work full days and on top of it, his guys are going to the field for the next 2ish weeks, so he will be working from 6am-7pm during that time.  I'll have tons of time on my hand.  For now, I'll leave you with the bouquet the florist sent and the bridesmaids bouquets she made.

The Groom's Cake...

...that we didn't get a chance to see or enjoy.  My mom e-mailed me some pictures of the groom's cake that we should have been enjoying last night.  I asked to see them because I was so excited about it.  Maybe one day, we'll get our 3rd chance at a wedding.

Worst Day Ever

First, the shootings at Ft. Hood.  Then, the calls start coming in.  Now, Scott has to be back on Ft. Hood tomorrow.  All of this means, no wedding.  And I thought my dreams about what could go wrong were bad...

Trying to think positive:  at least we weren't on post and all of the people we know are safe tonight.  But, it's still hard to not be upset.

Drive by posting

Just a quick post to say that we are still loving the beautiful fall weather at home.  We've been super busy with last minute details so far.  But, there are only 3 more days!  It's going to be a busy weekend, but hopefully I'll have some time to update next week!
