Plan plan plan!

I know it's been a while since I updated and I'm honestly not sure what all I've done since the last post! So a general update:

My wonderful friend Cassie has agreed to make my cake for me and we've already started talking sizes and cake types - cake tasting next time I come home! If anyone has any excellent cake recipes send'em my way. We need to start thinking of a name for her cake decorating business, how about...Cakes by Cassie? :-D

Last weekend I purchased all of the fabric for my bridesmaids' dresses in a lovely burnt orange - and the best part it was on super sale, 70% off!! I've been eyeing this fabric for about 2 months and wasn't 100% sold on the color but hadn't found anything else I liked more. Well the Joanns that I go to is moving (closer to me yay!) but they are totally clearing out the old store instead of moving stuff and when my bolt of fabric went 70% off I couldn't pass that up. 8.5 yards of burnt orange satin fabric for $20!!! Not too shabby...

The two BIGGEST things that happened were that my dress came in while I was home (YAY!!!) and we booked the Rose Garden! I got to go try on my dress with my mom and we took it home that day! Right now it is residing at my dad's house because Diana (my step-mom) is doing the alterations for me - it's SUCH a huge help!

The Rose Garden you ask? Well...that's a story for another day...
