Wedding Dress!!!!

Well, no pictures allowed, since this is a public blog now and we don't want Rex to see--but I found the dress of my dreams!!!  (I think!)  Kel and Ariel helped me go around to a couple different places--a bridal salon on J Street and David's Bridal in Roseville--and it just so happened we found one that I love at the first shop we went to.  I'm not deciding ANYTHING for sure YET because I want my Mom and Rex's Mom to see me in it and give their motherly approvals, but for now I am SO excited!!  I could barely sleep last night because Dad said, "Don't worry, Steph, if it's the dress you want, we'll make it work!"  I can't help but feel I have the best friends and family in the world!  Ariel said, "When you were in that dress, you OWNED it."  Haha, she's so funny.  And Kel was awesome enough to bring a camera and take photos.  Hooray for friends helping me go wedding dress shopping!!  Now I'm beginning to realize what other stuff I need to shop for and I'm getting frantic feeling I need to pick things out.  Something for my ears, my head if Grammy's Tiara doesn't work out, a bolero or shawl...Good grief!  Calm down, Steph, the weddings still practically a year away!  But all I want to do right now is think about the wedding.  Ah, I'm becoming obsessed!

On another note, my Dad's offer to take care of the dress no matter what reminded me what a drastic change my life will be going through.  I will no longer be a "Fry."  My immediate family will no longer be the "Luke Fry Family," but the "Rex Rallanka Family."  I can't believe it.  I'm so excited and moved by this tremendous realization that I'm shaking and I can barely concentrate.  I'm not sure what to do with my energy!!  Wedding workouts is a good start, haha.  Dad took me to yoga last night, and thank goodness she did a lot of ab work, because I needed to burn some energy!  Just a little bit at a time, I've to remember.  I can't go too crazy or I'll go off the deepend.  Just a little one thing at a time.
