Many of you have heard me mention that I am taking my first ever “me vacation” in a couple of weeks. I am uber excited! But a little nervous as well. I have never left my children before and I am not sure who will be worse off, me or them? But I have come to the conclusion that it is essential at this stage in my life to take a little “me time” so we’ll see how it all pans out.
A few of the gals are wanting to shoot some Brides on one of our “on location” shoots and I offered to bring my wedding dress and be a “pretend Bride.” Well, after I put that suggestion out there I started thinking to myself, “Um, hello you were married almost 9 years ago and in the meantime have given birth to 2 children. You may not exactly fit into your wedding dress anymore.” After realizing that I may have to embarrassingly bow out of the session due to the fact that my behind no longer fits into that delicate, little wedding gown, I just let it go. Well, the trip is now 13 days away and the gals are making final arrangements and need to know if I will be a “model Bride” or not. Ay-yi-yi…I went to the spare closet today and unearthed my beautiful wedding gown and thought to myself, “Oh, I hope I can inhale deep enough to zip it all the way up.” GUESS WHAT??? It still fits! I must admit that I smiled at myself in my bathroom mirror and did a little happy dance. “Not too bad for 9 years and 2 kids later, Miss Thang.” Oh yeah, I get to be a “fake Bride” on my “me vacation.” Stay tuned…
And because blog posts are just plain boring without pics…here is me and Hubby 9 years ago…
YAY Dawn! LOL So not checking to see if mine fits (and it’s only been 5 years! LOL)
YAY!!! LOL I have to dig mine out and see if it fits. I did get the OK from my mom to un preserve it! Although she said she will be working that 100.00 that it cost her to preserve it out of me somehow! LOL I have no idea if it will fit… stay tuned ;)
Can’t wait to meet you!!
You haven’t changed a bit, you still look as beautiful as ever.
So wish I was going with you guys, you all are going to have a blast with tons of great shots.
Hi Dawn,
I haven’t talked to you in a while, but I know the girls who met you for the first time had an awesome treat. You’re the best!!! I’m glad you enjoyed your trip.
