More from my bucket of crazy

So, we managed to pick out the bufet menu as well as the flowers. I honestly can't recal what we will be eating since it was done last month, however I do belive there will be some sort of chicken dish. The flowers seemed to be extreemly complacated, There are thousands of choices in flowers alone, wittled down only by the seasonal choices. Then there seems to be an endless choice of shapes of boquets to choose from...really...I had to pick the shape of the boquet. I figured that once you put a bunch of flowers together it makes it's own shape. I guess I was wrong. I had no idea what flowers I wanted so the lady told me to bring her a picture. I just kind of handed her a picture of some boque I found in a magizine, but it doesn't stop there...no of course not. I had to substatute some for others and all that horse doody. Natalia came with me and I just let her do it. I think she is better at girly things than I am.
In August mom and I ordered my wedding dress, however we hadden't heard anything from the store we ordered it from in quite awhile. We decided to stop by the store in November while I was on Vacation to just see if they had an e.t.a on the dress. So we went to the store and it was closed. Not just closed but it closed down. No dresses in the windows no people working in the now empty store, no cars in the parking lot. All this store had was a phone number on the window. After mom and I paniced and freaked out and yelled and pounded on the doors for a while we called the number and was assured the dress was ordered and in production and not to worry about the dress or the deposit on the dress. We were also told that the e.t.a on the dress was about the 3rd week of December. So on December 29th we drove to stalkton and picked up my dress, it's freeking awesome!
Rob got his suit and shoes. we ordered the ties and all that jazz. So far a huge chunk of the wedding crap is done. But we still need to figure out a cake and a cake topper as well as the music. the girls still need dresses and we have looked at quite a few places and not found anything they would like to wear. But I think I can finally relax for a bit and add to the wedding account for a few months before we have to put more money on the next thing we need.
Mom has had two surgurys in the past month. She had her ankle repaired from an injury she got about 10 years ago. She is now in a giant boot and has a frankenstine walk but she is okay. Then she had the little cancer spot removed from her ear as well. she has tiny stitches in her ear now. I was hoping she would look elf like but no such luck. She is doing well, even though dad has done most the cooking and cleaning the past few weeks, he has actually managed to keep from burning the house down...for the most part. He did have an issure with a cornned beef he turned to dust, but it was his 1st day cooking. lol
