My lovely, wonderful and talented (!!) friend, Rachel, mailed us our completed Save the Date cards from her cozy home in Seattle earlier this week, and they arrived yesterday! Despite Alan being out of town, there was no way I was going to wait until Monday evening to open the package. So I opened it and texted him to let him know they came. It was my own private compromise. And they are AWESOME. They don't have any of Rachel's glorious artwork on them (because we wanted to keep them super simple), but we'll be adoring them with two funny little stamps we picked up on Fourth Street.
And Rachel, I am going to pimp you out a little bit for the 4 people (including yourself, haha) who read this blog: go here to see some of Rachel's amazing work. You can purchase prints of her work, greeting cards with her images on them (some quite festive!), or commission her to do, well, many things!
This means, of course, that we now have to actually finalize the guest list and gather addresses from everyone. Good times!

News to report!
It's perhaps a bit strange that I ordered my dress so far in advance, but when you know what you want, you get it! And I did. It was originally not supposed to be in until mid-February (still plenty of time to get it altered, etc.), but I got a call from The Wedding Party today saying it's come in early! And I made an appointment to pick it up in 3 weeks (our schedules do not match up well).
I am so excited. I can sort of understand how all those women on Say Yes to the Dress feel, having not seen their dress in a while. And while this is DEFINITELY less than the year that those dresses take), I've never seen my dress in the material I decided upon, so it's a bit nerve-wracking. Clara tells me that it's beautiful, that it turned out wonderfully and is so pretty, which helps a bit (but I also think, you see wedding dresses every day--and aren't they always that way?).
If I hate it, I can always get something else, since it wasn't very pricey. BUT I keep trying to picture myself in something long and different, and just can't do it.
Dress, I will see you in 3 weeks!
