Let the craziness commence.
*ouch* My tooth hurts really bad! I have this back molar I really need to get extracted. It's annoying the mess out of me. Ugh, well maybe once I'm in Sweden and that stuff is free.
Ok, enough with that. On to my Philly weekend and....The Quest for the Wedding Dress Material!!! Sorry about that. I'm a bit goofy today if you can't tell.
Well anyways, Ronny ended up missing his train to Canada (he went to get his passport re-stamped thus renewing his tourist visa) on Saturday. He literally watched as it chugged away. Good thing that Amtrak let us change his ticket for Sunday morning for only $20 extra. Anyways that same day I left for Philly. So Ronny waited with me till my train left. He took me downstairs to the platform and stood by my window and just looked at me while I sat there till the train went off. I was sooooo sad! I was so close to crying cause we hadn't been apart for 4 months. I just really wanted him to leave already and get our goodbye over with but I don't think he realized that. Well, I made my way to Philly (*read Michael Crichton's "Prey"-finished it on the way home...very good book!!!*) and Sam picked me up. We went shopping a bit for her and to her eye doctor to get her new contacts. Then we went to her mom's shop (she works at like the most infamous bridal shop in Philly- Suky *the late owner* was Vera Wang's first customer!!!) and then we all went fabric shopping. By the time we got to South St we had literally 5 min to search for the perfect fabric!!!! I'm truly glad that I am not a picky person! The first place we went to I skimmed my eyes over all the different kinds of lace but didnt like the colros. The second store I looked and was about to give up when this lady pulls out the most gorgeous lace I have ever seen!!! It was made from what is called English netting and has lace in just certain spots and then towards the bottom has a vine effect going down with daisies. Inside the flowers is a color called Rome pink but it looks more like a champagne. When I saw it and then they laid out the Ivory Satin to go underneath I got so choked up. It was like "This is it, this is my wedding dress." It was perfect. We are going to add little jet beads in champagne color to the dress. I picked up the pattern (its actually a mix of two designs) and the pattern for my boledo jacket. Don't know if I spelled that right. Its going to be shear. For those of you who won't get to see my dress you know I'll be posting up pics! I can't wait to have it all done. Ronny's tux will match me perfectly AS will my little niece Kaylins dress! Her dress has the SAME color sash and buttons as the Rome pink. Its so cool.
The rest of the weekend was good. I had such a BLAST with Samantha and her mom. We laughed so much and I can say that although I missed Ronny something fierce it was really nice to be with my friends and I think we needed that bit of time apart. I told Sam that no matter what, even if you get married you still need your girlfriends and this trip really showed me that.
I picked Ronny up from Penn Station on Tuesday night. His train came in an hour and 10 min late so we got home super late. I didn't go to work yesterday like the slacker I am but it was nice to stay home with Ronny and my mom and some friends watching My Fair Lady. I guess that is about it for the trip. Oh yes! When I did see Ronny on Tuesday it was like I hadn't seen him in a year! I could tell he felt the same way. It was cool cause I got a bit of that nervous feeling just like the first time we met. I "fell in love" all over again. He said he felt the same way.
Well, tonight is my first GYN visit. I'm a tad nervous but not too bad. I know it'll be fine. Anyways, talk to you guys later! Love you all!
