32 days til the wedding *uggh*

So yesterday, the boys went out and got their suits. I got to check that off my list, so that made me happy. It also made me happy that they didn't pick out suits that made them look like pimps. Ashley got her "flower girl" dress, even though she is a leaf girl not a flower girl. We spent hours in the mall looking at dresses and trying to find one for her. She is at the awkard age where she is about to me 9 (this week infact) and she is at an odd size. The toddler dresses look to babish for her and the older girl dresses make her look like a prostitot, or a slutty tiny ice skater. So we went to the little angle's store with all the annoying poffy dresses with glitter on them in hopes that we could find something that made her look like....a little girl. Again we were faced with baby hooker outfits. Why the hell (excuse me) would you put your daughter or any kid for that matter in a dress that looks like it belongs on lady gaga? We had to resort to the catalog to look for a dress that would cover her girly parts but wasn't poofy or covered in liberachi type glitter. We spent 45 mins looking at this stupid catalong while Ashley broused by herself in the store. Then Ashley walks over to a rack and pulls out a dress that looked good, was in her size, in the colours we needed and on sale! We must have walked by this dress 40 times and never noticed it. She won major points in the shopping department and will now be my personal shopper since I hate it so much. We also finished writing our vows. It only took us about an hour to get them down. It's amazing how much time you save with vows when you do your own! We didn;t even mention farts or boogers so it's pretty safe to say in public. We met with the wedding cordanater lady and figured out that we have to rehurse on Thursday the 27th of October after 4:00 p.m. I hope we can get through it without too much drama. We also have to pick up Rob's mom and grandmother at the air port that day. I filled out the paper work to get the week off so I can spend sometime getting ready and getting things together for the wedding so I just hope it gets approved. This will be the 1st halloween I wont be with my classroom to help dress the kids in their costumes and walk the parade with them, so I am a little bummed about it. I may sneek over to see the parade anyway. We still have a ton of things to do, like assemble the favors for the guests, but we are doing candy bags cuz it's halloween time so I wanna do that last so the candy is fresh. We still have to pay off a few people, but I think we finally have that under control since I got a bonus.
My Birthday was uneventful, Mondays usually are, but I did get some flowers from Rob so that was quite nice. Mom and Dad were of course in Utah for grandma's funeral. I would have liked to go too, but I had a commitment to model for the breast cancer pin up girl calender again and I didn't want to not support the cause since it brought the susan g cancer research place over 4 grand last year. I figured she would understand since everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way. I was glad mom and dad made it though. I didn't mind that they wernt here for my birthday, they called me so that was good enough. Plus, I had to go to bed early since I had work the next day anyway.
Anyhow, Hope all is well with everyone, I will try to post again before the wedding to see if I get anymore stuff done, but I don't know how interesting all this stuff is to anyone. :)
