Struggling!
Eep. I'm struggling over here. I am nothing but excited for Cody & Allie's wedding next September. I am Thrilled its Finally under a year and things are starting to get planned. And its almost time to start going to look at dresses! Yes! Orrrr so I thought. Allie just sent out an email on facebook to myself and the other 5 bridesmaids. Her 3 bestfriends, sister, and cousin. And me. As I already said. Well, I know 3 of the other 5 and seen the other 2 at least once. Anyways I saw their facebook pictures and they're just as I remember them. Well, that is anywhere between a size -0 to a Maybe 2. Seriously. I am by far thee 'biggest' of the bridesmaids. Eep. I am now thinking maybe we should plan on being pregnant for the wedding instead of waiting for after the wedding just so that I have a reason to be big. LOL! Then again I always think pregnant bellies are cute, but I'm sure when its me I'll just think I look fat. Ugh. Anyways, thats me throwing my tantrum for now. I was so excited to go look at dresses, and now I am a lil worried. And I know I'm not fat or huge or anything but still, I don't really even compare size wise to these other girls. Hey, at least she wants long dresses so my fat ankles won't be shown... :) Its about finding the one glimmer of hope, right? :) Uff anyways so I'm just going to sit over here and feel sorry for myself. I am also a lil sad because I was suppose to take pictures for my cousins today and they never like followed through. Its like the absolute perfect time for fall pictures, and the leaves are starting to fall fast, and all I want to do is have a good reason to take pictures. I even thought of asking Levi to go to a park with me and take his pictures. But unfortunately I don't think I need any solo pictures of my husband. Maybe I do need a kid after all, then at least I can take pictures of it! Hmm i think that sounds like a bad reason to have a kid though... LOL! Okay cross that off... :P Annnd how about a few happy notes? I have got 1 other 'side' job persay.... just babysitting of course.. but me loves it! :) I also have another 'interview' for another one on friday... For 5 kids... Hmmm sounds fun! It might be bad though cause then I'll come home telling Levi we can have 5 kids cause I can do it. As a child I always wanted to have 5 kids. Who nos why! I wanted a girl, a boy, twin girls, then one more boy. LOL! Of course the names (in order) were suppose to be Nevaeh, Malakai, Kalynna, Kalysta, and Miguel. Now, I would not choose any of those names. I'm crazy in love with the names Everett and Evelyn. I know my husband will shoot me down on both those accounts, but oh well. We do like some names the same, but those we will save to share for when we actually have a child. :) Anyways that was WAY off topic... but I'm excited to get those 2 jobs (hopefully) because I've been looking at my finances and by next year before Cody and Allies wedding I will hopefully have everything paid off. That meaning me, not levi. We still have our stuff separate. Until we have less stuff to push together, we wont push them together. And of course that doesn't include our house. Lol! That is obviously long from paid off. But woohoo for other lil things. :) Alright, thats all for now. I should go clean something. My house is a mess. But oh well. Soon the brewer game will start and I'll have a good reason not to clean. Yay! haha! Later gators!

oh dear... trust me, you're in better shape for a bridesmaid's dress than i was at sarah's wedding! i had (still have. sigh.) over 35 lbs to lose; my sister was matron of honor and was very pregnant so she had an excuse... chase's sister is about 100 lbs dripping wet, so i was the chubby one, no excuses. i think you'll be fine- i'd give my right arm to be your size, lol! :)
Fat ankles? Whatever... :0) U r beautiful!!!
One of my best friends from high school got married last year about this time. Kale was a year old, but baby fat does NOT come off easily for most of the normal folk. She'd asked me to be matron of honor, but I couldn't really do much as she lived in WI and I was (still am) all the way out in WY/ID. When she sent me some links with dress ideas, I loved some of them and hated others because they were meant for women who were still "maids" and didn't have mommy-tummies. :P I sent her an email with the links to my favorite ones and gently asked her to remember my mommy-tummy. Much to my surprise (I shouldn't have been! She and none of the other bridesmaids have had kids yet!), the dress that was picked out was a difficult design for me to pull off and hadn't even been one of the links she sent!!! Bias-cut (my torso is a tad long, I have a BOOTY that black women would be proud of!) AND a dress. I've never really liked myself in dresses. Skirts and shirts, fine, dresses, no. Plus it had a really weird neck so you couldn't wear a regular bra, you had to get something strapless. I got a Spanx convertible sheath, hoping to control some of the problem areas. Turns out the thing rides up and rides down in all the wrong ways! Plus it was like wearing a sports bra, so I looked like I had next to nothing on top! I got some chicken cutlets to hopefully rectify that problem, but because the undergarment wouldn't stay in place I ended up looking like an old granny!!! Oh it was horrible! But you know what? I now have a story to tell! Yessiree, I can now officially say, I really do not particularly like being a bridesmaid and have a lot more sympathy for the bridesmaids of my wedding! I wished I had told them to find something in yellow and let that be that! The things we realize with hindsight!
So I'll do my best to comfort you and say you'll look fabulous no matter what, but I will also say this: No one but your husband is going to notice you unless your dress is tucked into your underwear or you have toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoe! You and the other bridesmaids (and groomsmen!) are the frame for the real show: the Bride and Groom. Some years from now someone might look at the photograph and say, "Look at the style of their dresses! Why did we think that was so cool back then?! Look at their hair! Good grief, I'm glad that's no longer in!" But they won't notice how the dresses fit. Our biggest fashion critics are ourselves.
Unless it's the Best Man's wife who purposely ignores you and tells
the other brides maids, "Oh you girls are so pretty!" (True story!)
Then you slap her in the face and tell her to shove off.
Just kidding.
Just ignore her (or whoever the offending party might be!) and go on!
As far as that girl went, I don't know what her problem was. I introduced myself to and made friendly conversation with everybody because I only knew three of the wedding party, the bride herself, another bridesmaid, and an usher. I was even toting a 13 mo old baby around. I talked about my husband A LOT (duh! I missed him!), so there was no way she should have felt threatened by me, but I guess she did! Oh well, people like that just need to be ignored because they're not a part of your life for long. Just two or three tortuous days where you have to do all the wedding rituals.
Sorry this comment got so long! I didn't mean for it to! :P
Alright, my dear...if only I was that large!! Seriously, you will be just fine. As far as having twins....I definitely recommend it to everyone! Not that you always have a CHOICE in the matter...but it is quite enjoyable..most of the time. hee hee
