apartment and wedding stuff
About a week ago, Bryan and I paid our security deposit for an apartment in Arlington Heights, Illinois. It’s about 6 miles from work for me and about 12 miles for Bryan to the library. :) We sign the lease this Friday.
I worked on my website last week and Friday night to update it. A few of the pages are finished, others need to be completely revamped. The pages I’ve updated are films, music, photos and I’ve started working on the literature page. My goal is to finish all of the work on my website by the time I move in July.
Saturday, Brandi and I went and I tried on three dresses at Marshall Fields. One was a dress that I really liked in the photo but it was too plain on me. I also tried on two dresses that I tried on when I was with my mom in early April. I still really like the first dress that I tried on. My only complaint about it is that if I have it made in silk mikado fabric it will still be a “column” dress and I want the same top but with an a-line skirt. I’m going back to Field’s with my sister and Brandi on the 31st for the Christos trunk show and I’m going to see what can be done then. :) I love the top of the dress, Brandi said it’s the dress she would have picked out for me. :) I saw the dress as soon as my mom and I walked into Field’s in early April. The woman helping me said on Saturday that she really thinks the dress picked me. :)
Here is a bridesmaid’s dress that I really like. I’m not making any major dress decisions until I see them on Brandi and Meredith and until November because then all of the fall dresses will be out.
I also showed Brandi what I’ve picked out.
Dishes - Villeroy and Boch Twist Anna, Bea and Clea
China - Murray Hill
They didn’t have my flatware - Eternal
Saturday evening, I went out to the suburbs for Bryan’s nephew, Michael’s, 5th birthday party. I gave him a 4×4 truck that you pull back and it goes on its own. Bryan got him an art set so he can draw pictures and paint.
Yesterday, Bryan and I rode the train into the city, since I stayed with him Saturday night after Michael’s party. We went to the Art Institute for several hours and then rode the train back to the suburbs. I wanted Bryan to go to the doctor with me this morning, so I stayed there again last night. And now it’s back at work for another week. I’m taking Friday off this week so that I have a four-day weekend. :)
