I'm In Love

The trip to South Carolina was ah-may-zing. Really, I'm in love with Charleston now. So, here's the quickie breakdown of the trip.

Day 1

- Riverbanks Zoo & Garden

- Charleston

Day 2

- Alejandro's Garden

- Demetre Park





- Private Garden 2





- Middleton Place









I had a blast and took many more pictures than I posted. I plan on going back someday.

In other news, my wedding dress came in the mail today!!! I have yet to open the box because I promised my MOH (maid of honor) that I would wait to open it till she could be here too since we didn't do the whole in store wedding dress shopping. I hope she calls soon. This box is staring at me. It wants me to open it.

And finally, I have decided on how I want to carve my pumpkin. I'm going to do a wraparound scene of Rivendell. This is going to be tricky but fun.

I hope you all had as good a weekend as I did.

Houston, We Have a Problem

So, there's been a slight hiccup with my wedding gown. The shop I've been dealing with didn't realize when I bought it to be shipped that it does not have the detachable train with it. As soon as they realized this, they called me and apologized, as well as offered to refund my money immediately. I asked them if they could hold off on that and see if they could track down a train for me. If they can't, I've contacted someone on etsy.com to see if they could make the train for me.

Hopefully, this will all workout for me in the end. 'Cause I really want that dress.

Achievement Unlocked

Yes, I got it. The dress I love, in the color I want, that is my size. Dress + tax + shipping = a grand total of $200. This one was fate.

On a side note, I may have found a photographer as well, but this will have to be discussed with T. It's a friend of mine who does great work, and I would love to be able to help a friend build his portfolio some more. He even said that he would travel. Well, I can tell you, the location area that I'm thinking of is Ah-mazing to visit. I think this is a good start even though we haven't set a date yet other than sometime after I graduate in December of next year.
