well that was exhausting.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:13 am. Posted in Daily Me., Featured Blogger, Just Rachel, wise words.I took the post down. Feeding into internet drama is not my thing and I realize that in posting what I did, I was giving her what she wanted. I don’t have to defend my actions to ANYONE, especially some stranger on the internet. There’s a reason why I shy away from becoming friends with other AF wives, and I think now… it’s painfully obvious why. Was I right bringing it public on my personal blog? Probably not, but a wedding blog is certainly no place for a comment war. Anyway, it’s done and over with now. Thank you all for your support, it means the world.
MOVING ON!
Take five and go look at what my twin did. She’s ridiculous and I adore her. Submit a picture, let’s have some fun!
Internet was down all night last night for Matt, I didn’t get an email ’til almost 5am my time. I lost a lot of sleep last night. I know it’s probably needless worry and that he’s relatively okay where he’s stationed, but not hearing from him all day gets me seriously nervous. I was awake until a little after 4a, so i’m running on minimal sleep. Thank God today is my Friday.
With all of the AWESOME that has surrounded Love Harder, I wanted to let you all know that I’m (along with all of the other amazing Philly / NJ bloggers) running in the MMRF Race for Research. It’s this October in Philadelphia, but they have them in San Fran, Boston, Chicago, the Twin Cities… probably somewhere close to you. We all plan to run under the team of Love Harder and raise funds again in the name of H.A.D. I think it would be AMAZING if we could get 20sb-ers represented in every city that there is a race in. It’s a 5k, so it’s like 3ish miles. If you don’t think you can run a 5k, go here. Couch to 5k changed my life.
Matt so kindly noted that we are almost 1/3 of the way through this deployment when we had our Skype date on Monday night. I guess in another ten ish days we will be 1/3 through this mess. I have no idea how it’s going to “fly by” like so many people say, but here’s hoping.
Since he was so kind to tell me that we were almost 1/3 of the way through deployment, I sat up all night looking for THE PERFECT homecoming dress (I feel like i’m in High School saying “homecoming”). I’ve decided that although insanely expensive and a completely ridiculous purchase, i’ll probably buy my dress from Anthropologie. They are all just so classic and detailed and GORGEOUS. Here’s a few of the ones that i’ve had my eye on…
Gorgeous, right? That perfect yellow ribbon, the length, the fact that its a tank top sort of cut so I don’t have to worry about my dress falling down mid holy-crap-he’s-right-there!!! mad dash to my honey. But wait, check this out.
LOOK AT THAT BACK! How stupid gorgeous is that cut out and that ruffle?! My only issue is that I’m unsure how that ruffle is going to make my butt look. Hm.
Another Yellow one, but I adore the detail of the black belt and the contrast between the two different patterns and colors.
I think this one might be my favorite. I know, it’s strapless. I don’t care. I sort of prefer strapless because i’m so damn short. I feel like not having my shoulders exposed and a dress that’s at my knee or just past makes me look stubby.
Thoughts? Amazing places for really great dresses on the interwebs that won’t cost me my first born as payment?
We’re having a photographer from Operation Love come to homecoming, which i’m really excited about. The last thing that I wanted to worry about was pictures, so they are going to take care of that for me which is AMAZING. Beware when you click on that link though, the galleries had me all sorts of ugly crying. It’s really beautiful though.
Ahh love love love the first dress!
