life is crazy sometimes, isn't it?

has anyone sent out a search party for me yet?

someone please remind me to never ever plan a wedding and look for a place to live at the same time again...wow, stressful!

john and i are in the midst of looking for a place to live...move-in date is set for december first...now if we could only find a home...

i've also been running around trying to plan our wedding...i've made some pretty lame decisions...but thankfully i have a fashion forward matron of honour...who isn't shy about telling me "no comment" when she doesn't agree with something...and by something i mean the flowers...i have to admit, i had very good intentions, in fact these were some of my ideas...

















but the florist i went to see, somehow convinced me that i loved these flowers...



did i mention i've also been fighting a very bad cold...which turned into bronchitis...again, very lucky to have my very own martha stewart along for the ride...

oh oh...did i mention i found my dress? i did! and i am so very excited...and although i didn't cry, like they do on "say yes to the dress"...i did have a moment...







just thought i'd drop in and say hello...see how everyone is doing...i hope to be back full force sometime in december...and i am reading all of your lovely blogs...just not commenting...there's something to say about stress...it leaves you (or me)...slightly lifeless...if that makes sense...

you are all in my thoughts...love you...

  3. Best wishes for your wedding planning..weddings can be draining. Seems like just yesterday for me. Try to enjoy every minute if you can. Oh, and happy house hunting, too! Wow, what a stressful mix. Hang in there girl!

  5. Hi Beautiful! I've been there- somehow managed to get through my finals at uni whilst planning a wedding and looking for somewhere to live. I did go slightly mental but at least Isurvived! And you will too! :)

    I have missed you! But I know the feeling- I've been reading blogs but not commenting as much as I've had zero energy or desire for anything at the mo. Sometimes it feels like I'm surviving rather than living but these states are only temporary and needs must at times.

    Hope you're well now! How's your diet going? Are you feeling more at peace with food since you've let go of the vegan label?

    Tons of love xxx

  15. Oh, noooo - please tell me you will change your flowers to one of the pale, creamy confections that preceded the technicolor bunch...none of my business really, I don't know you personally, and I am not 100% sure whether you were joking or not, but just no to those dyed flowers. You will regret it! Wish someone had told me not to have my usually long, sleek hair curled and pouffed up hugely on my wedding day - every time I look at the pictures I wish I had a straight iron. So, with love, no to those flowers - ugh, sorry.
