Pre- Anniversary

One year.
365 days.

By this time next year I will be Mrs. Amy Merrill. Whoa! That looks weird. I am ready to say that the wedding is less than a year away.

To celebrate, what Dusty has named, our pre- anniversary, Dusty surprised me with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory on Wednesday. He scored some major points with that one.





Renee surprised me today with a pre- anniversary gift. A book titled 1001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married. I think that comes to about 2.75 questions a day. Dusty you better watch out. :) Actually, the book has a warning in it for women not to overwhelm the men as we seem to like these types of things more.



The latest wedding drama (not really drama...) has revolved around the bridesmaids dresses. I was searching online on Tuesday and found the perfect dress. However, there were only three dresses available in three very specific sizes. This was not going to work. I called my maid of honor Renee to first get her approval and then to find out this was not going to work. I was slightly devastated. However, she then went on the search to find alternatives for me to look at. She is the best. Among these were a few not so great dresses, one maternity dress and then one that caught my eye. I may even like it better than the first. Now the question is whether to purchase the dresses or not. I feel that the pressure is on because this is not your normal bridesmaid's dress and these types of dresses are not available year-round and I certainly do not want to be shopping next April for bridesmaids dresses. I have decided to order one to see if it is exactly as it looks in the picture. If it is, I don't think I will be able to stop myself from ordering the other two.

In addition to this, I have begun some honeymoon planning. I think I am more excited about this than the wedding. lol Disney World! We will either be staying at the Polynesian or the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Stephanie Bennett has offered her services to help me plan the trip. She is a Disney expert.

With Love,

The Future Mrs. Amy Merrill
