I have two appointments tomorrow for wedding dress shopping.  I’m sure it will be grand! 

Last night we went to the Cardinals game.  Joe and Michelle got the tickets. 

Incredibly flattering photographs of me!  Anyway, those were our seats—it was in a section of the stadium I’d never sat in, called the "left field porch" or I guess more appropriately the "left field party porch." 

The game started poorly (the Reds were up 8-0 at one point) but the Cards came back and eventually tied the game.  It went into extra innings, and we actually had to leave (work night for some people), but caught the end of the game at home.  The Cardinals unfortunately lost, but at least it wasn’t super embarrassing. 

I was good and didn’t eat any of that junk.  I just photographed it for blackmail purposes.

Anyway, we had a great time—the chairs even had cushions on them!

Today I had a workout with Mike, met with another florist, and (gasp) taught a few students.  Tomorrow my parents are coming to visit.  They are actually driving up from SC right now.  They’ll be here over the weekend, and it’s the first time they’ve come to visit, so there should be lots to do.  If I don’t blog over the next couple of days, that’s why! 

Wish me luck tomorrow!  Ideally I’ll find my dress.

Obviously I didn’t buy any of these or I wouldn’t be posting here…

I didn’t find anything I really liked yesterday.  Some of them were okay, and I definitely got a better idea of what I am looking for.  It may just be that I felt a bit ridiculous in a gigantic white (ish) dress and the whole thing is crazy.  Or alternately that I wanted MORE ridiculous attention from the saleslady and she was being more hands off.  Looking at the pictures we took I like some of them more than I did in the store, and vice versa.  Either way, don’t they say that when you find your dress you just know?

I’ve got more dress appointments on Friday, so I’ll have more chances.  We’ll see what happens!

Also the other day was cake tasting again.

And we have chosen our cake.  It’s just a matter of going and booking it now. 

Chris looks really tan here.
