hehe, thank you Holly!

I''ve been known to get very excited about certain things. FI and I got engaged in February and I still break into a happy "we''re getting married" dance here and there (at least once every two weeks). He thinks it''s cute but also thinks I''m insane..hehe

Where is that UPS guy!!?

Ooo, I remember that excitement well! UPS had to deliver it to my office because it was the only place I knew where somebody would DEFINITELY be there to sign the slip.

I couldn''t put it out of my mind all day because I knew it was scheduled to deliver by 5 that day and I constantly refreshed my tracking number on the UPS sight (I''m sure you''re doing the same!)

I even called UPS at 4 when it hadn''t arrived yet and couldn''t help but tell the customer service lady that it was my wedding gown, haha. When it did come in I immediately left work so I could go home and try it on!

I''m sure you''re feeling the same way! It will be here before you know it and when it does come in, you''re going to love it! When is your first scheduled fitting?

haha...I''m reading your post and nodding...I''m refreshing the tracking website and getting up to look at the window every 10 minutes...lol

Well, the dress is arriving super-early. I was suppossed to get it in October so I don''t haven''t scheduled the fittings yet. I figured I have plenty of time now since the wedding is not until February!...hehe.

I''m just praying I love it and it fits (after reading appletini''s dress was too small I''m a little worried)!!!! (fingers crossed and belly in!!! haha)

[Mandarine]

haha Holly, same here!. He just smiles at me...I always try to make him dance with me but he just laughs...

Such an exciting time!.

...Im seriously loving every second of it. I haven''t really gotten stressed and I''m enjoying the planning so far....and then this little excitement moments are the best!

I just though about one tiny problem...I live alone...so who will help me put on the dress!!!??. I doubt my dog would be much help..hmmm...

I might not be able to zip it up!!! scpecially if it''s a little tight!....

hehe, I thought I would tease you guys a bit!!!

Thanks wifey!!!!

It''s tough to take pictures and place the dress just right by yourself...so I couldn''t get any good ones of the skirt once it is "positioned" correctly on the floor.

It''s a tiny little tight around the waist, but nothing that I won''t be able to work out at the gym. It does need some help in the top and I need a bustle...but that''s it, I don''t think it needs any alterations!!

Thank you for waiting around with me...lol

[decodelighted]

Now do I just put it in the garment bag and in a closet?. The wedding is not until February!
