large zippered mom jeans

I brought my dress home saturday! And I am going to be selfish and say that we should have a girls night so I can try it on again! I love it. And of course I'd have a girls night to see you all :) Things are moving along. I still would like the guest list to be like 100 ppl shorter. My mom and I worked on shaving it down today... we ended up with 11 more than when we started... huh. Would not exactly call that a success. I'm giving up... its going to be big and I'm going to be terrified. But its one day it will be fabulous and then it will be over and I'll be in Cancun thinking "wow i cant believe its already over!" Of course I will be laying by the ocean with my man at that point very relieved that it IS in fact over. Can i just say i hate 90% of it? Bringing my dress home sat was the most excited I've been over any of it but later in the day had arguments with the fiance and myself about the wedding moneys and things i dont want, stresses, etc. I understand the man hates this stuff but he should understnad I dont exactly love planning and i need some moral support (which he is usually great at but not this day). I'm chugging along... if I think too much about planning and all i have to do to finish school, and trying to get a job before the wedding (and be able to take immediate time off from a new job!), and moving him in a new place in july, and all the stuff in between... i get really overwhelmed. One day and one plan at a time. Did I say that I am not a planner? I hate planning even dinners. or freak... what to do on my days off! I have kinda worked on a wedding web page thing... here is our link: www.theknot.com/ourwedding/sarahralston&traviswhite
In other news... my man got PROMOTED!! For those who dont nkow he works for a promotions company called PEP which manages promotions for companys such as P&G. For one... they re-(whatever you call it...) their annual contract with P&G... who decided to let PEP take over all of their promotions and drop the other company! So in turn they have to hire new people to take some lead roles... Travis was a manager for fem care (unfortunate for him) and some oral care. When he moves into his position he will be a supervisor over 4 or 5 ppl and in control of all oral B and P&G oral care letting him wave goodbye to tampax and always :) Which is so great for him bc he loves the oral care stuff. I just had to brag on him for a minute. I am so proud of him!
So... i missed girls night. How bout we plan one like more than a day ahead next time? and more regularly! i miss my community. Not that I dont LOVE my fiance... I do.. but I'm not so much involved with anyone anymore just cuz we've been so busy uand any time we have (which is usually wkends) we want to spend together bc it is so sparce. But i need girly time too. i crave it sometimes. i know the phone works both wasy but sometimes i suck at remembering to call so call me if you think about it! If i dont answer i WILL call you back :)
TV is the devil. Why is it I have so much to do but sometimes i just want to watch crappy tv shows? One day a couple weeks ago I started watching the bad girls club. Rediculous but funny. I realized how obnoxious it was that i was watching it and decided to stop... next thing i know i am recording future episodes... who am i and what is this going on? I'm trying to take a tv hiAtus but its not working so much. I did go through today with no tv bc i had to study... but i took like a 2 hr break and searched through facebook, blogs, wedding junk, etc on the internet. So now my computer is the devil. Or hey... maybe I am the problem?... nah... its all them trying to get to me. I am going crazy talking about this like they are people. Its late... i'm regressing back to grade school when I would stay up late hoping school would be canceled the next day :)
love you all.

i wear mom jeans sometimes, andpimp juice, definately not for me! Dont be so stressed (easier said than done) I learned this the hard way, but you want to look back and fondly remember your wedding. It's about you too, dont worry about anyone else! Do what you want to do, its your day! Let me know if there is anything i can help you with to destress. i love and miss you!

One day one thing at a time, Sarah. Easier said (by me) than done, but, you're right, someday it will be finished, and you'll have a wedding you want...Enjoy being engaged, cause August is coming sooner than you think --not to make you more stress!!...:)-- Enjoy every moment of it. LOve you!
