What do you know? Over a DRESS!!

So one thing that I've been realizing all today and yesterday is that my vision seems to have gotten a lot worse. At work and even now as I type, I feel like my eyes aren't able to see the words too clearly. I hope and pray that I keep my eyesight.  WIth contacts most people think I'm 20/20, but actually I'm legally blind without corrective vision. I always wondered why God would give me bad eyesight...after all, I got my first pair of glasses when I was 3, but I guess we'll have to wait and see God's plan. Inside I'm learning that if I go blind, then I go blind and I won't cause a ruckus over it. There must be some purpose for it. 

Well, since this is a blog dedicated to my engagement, today I went to Kinkos after work. I didn't plan on it but went on a whim because I just felt like going there to check out the prices. I think I'm a "on the whim" type of person, no matter how disciplined I may be at times.  Yesterday as I was looking at the invitations I had bought, I realized that it would be pretty hard to print my own invitations even though a whole kit was provided.  Using the invitations i've already bought, I'd have to manually feed like 200 invitations into our printer plus manually feed RSVP cards and the such. Not much fun. So I went to Kinkos to look into printing my own.

After a quick trip to Kinkos, I snuck over to David's Bridal although I didn't have my bridal party members, my sister, or anyone with me and decided I was going to try on a couple of dresses. I think I tend to buy better when I'm alone. There was noone to give strong opnions or any opinion at all or anyone to take many pictures for me. In fact, the lady who helped me out took pictures on my cell phone for me because I hadn't planned on coming.  While I hate to obsess over petty things like a dress which I'll only wear for ONE DAY, I have been stressing over this. First, it was over my bridesmaid dresses and this time it was over a wedding dress. For the past few weeks I've been searching online and thinking about where I was going to find my bridesmaid dress and then my wedding dress. Last week, I confirmed my bridesmaid dress and it had been killing me that I didn't know what I was going to wear yet.  I think i just like to get things done quickly. 

So I can't forget to mention that in my stress I did halfhearted ask God to help me.  That's all, I asked him just to help me because I couldn't believe I was letting a dress stress me out, but when I tried on the two dresses, which let me say were  $99, they both ended being pretty beautiful. I liked them at least. And so I called my sister who willingly bussed her two kids with her to David's Bridal, and then I called Kevin who was just about to eat and put down his fork to come take a look, and then I called my mom, who was on the road and without hesitation, turned the car around and said she would be at David's Bridal in minutes... I called them to get their input and literally in less than 2-3 hours, I literally found a dress that fit my strict criteria...something inexpensive and beautiful.  Can't get much better than that!
