Only 2 months and 28 more days to go! :)
I don’t know who’s more excited about the wedding, me or Jim. LOL! Of course, he’s excited more because he’s looking past the wedding and on to house hunting. I spent the weekend doing some late “spring cleaning” and we got on the subject of which appliances will stay with the house when we DO move and what furniture will need replacing. We got on the subject of kids bedding again.
Jessie’s bed will do for now, but in a few years, I can easily see us needing to pick up bigger kids furniture. Jim and I have looked at several places over the course of the past 6 months or so. I don’t think he’s bought anything for her since her initial crib bedding (or baby bedding?) from when he and his ex were still together. I’ve pointed out several places that I’ve liked and I think he and I have been pretty agreeable on everything so far.
Of course about this time, Little Miss Radar Ears (Jessie, LOL!) peeked around the corner and hollered something about getting to “pick it out first” … to which Jim and I chucked lightly, then went back to our scheming. ;)
I don’t have much of an update on Jessie’s dress except that I am very disappointed in how hard it has been to communicate with the shop owner. He/She has replied to only a couple of my emails, and those were pretty much generic “canned” replies. I went ahead and sent the dress back Friday morning and emailed stating that it was on its way and that I needed to be credited for the shipping charges. Nothing’s happened yet, but I did enclose a note stating my dissatisfaction so far and also stated that on my website after the wedding there WILL be a full review of every vendor with which I’ve had contact and done business. If anything, maybe the threat of a scathing (and honest!) review will motivate him/her into more communication with THIS particular customer!
(doubtful, but I’m hoping … )

That is a tough decision. Picking the right house can have such a dramatic effect on how your marriage starts off and of course keeping the kids happy in the future.
