Dress Fitting!!

I had my initial dress fitting today with an Italian dress maker in Elkins Park, PA. She spoke broken English and wore fabulous shoes so you know she knows her stuff. The dress only has a few changes that are needed before it goes to the cleaners. It will be shortened, a new zipper will be added, and the bustle loop will be adjusted. I can't wait until August 28th for my appointment to try it on when it is completed!! (that is also the day that Randy and I are going to NY to get our marriage license! Big Day!!).



I'm bummed my Mom couldn't be there to share the day with me. I think she would have liked to have been there but alas the North Country is 7 hours too far to justify a visit over a dress fitting. She is currently enjoying the beauty of camp on Chazy Lake and I can't say I don't blame her. I'm actually pretty jealous. I did have some support with me for the day. My friend, Michelle, who works with Randy at Abington Memorial as a surgical resident luckily had the day off and she came to ohh and ahh at me. I'm lucky we have made such good friends in the area :)

Mapping the North Country

Our latest wedding endeavor has been working on the wedding invitations. Randy finished that actual invitation and response cards yesterday. His newest project has been working on the map of the north country that we will be adding to the invitations that will be sent out. We got the idea from weddingbee.com which had a blog article on DIY maps. We used googlemaps to pull up the map of the area, then Randy using his super computer skills made it so that it looks like a handwritten drawing instead of a computer printout. There are a couple more tweaks that need to be made before it is done but once they are complete, the invitations will be going out in the mail. Here is a picture of Randy hard at work on the map. We thought about taking a picture of me eating tortilla chips while watching but I left my chair to lay down instead (haha).
