**Edited to Add More on the Bad week of Chris and Leigh**
Chris and I meet with the caterer this week and started to plan our food for the big day. We were really excited after our meeting, and have realized with our budget we are going to be able to afford way more than we had thought! The Rock Eagle people have been amazing and I am looking forward to working with them over the next few months.
We are really making progress and I feel like everything is moving along smoothly. Please keep Chris and I in your prayers as I have received some bad news professionally. We have faith that things will work out, but any prayers would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

** On top of my professional misfortune, Chris was the victim of a suicidal deer late Friday night (early Saturday morning) Chris is ok....with the exception of a sore neck. I cant say so much for the deer....who ended his journey here on earth at approximately 2:17 a.m. on Saturday morning. Chris's blazer is currently on life support...and we will receive its diagnosis in the next few days...its not looking like survival is likely. We still consider ourselves BLESSED! We are both healthy...and I thank God Chris is ok....**

Big News!
Well, its big news for me. I have bought my dress. There will be no pictures of my dress here, not that Chris actually ever looks at this, but if for some reason he did, I want him to be surprised about my dress!
I ordered my dress at the wonderful Elegant Bridals is Augusta. I was thrilled with my experience there. Mom and Jenny went with me. My first shopping trip was in Atlanta. I turned up empty handed at that place, but had a good day with my sisters and mom. Anna made a special "wedding dress shopping brunch" and was sure to serve it on my Granny's old dishes...for dramatic effect! It was a lot of fun, and even though I didn't find my dress that day, I enjoyed the day!
Throughout my two shopping trips, Cail and Jenny both had the chance the try on the bridesmaid dress. (which is now confirmed!) Both of them looked great in the dress, and seemed to like it. (if they didn't like it, they sure put on a good show!)
In other news, I have several things that are booked. I have reserved a D.J., a minister, our venue, and our florist/photographer. The more big things we get taken care of, the closer we get to worrying about the details. We still have not met with the caterer, which will be the last thing we need to do to get all of our "big picture" items taken care of. Much to Moms excitement, we will soon be able to start talking about centerpieces, decoration and arrangement! Her most favorite parts!
That's all I have for now. Enjoy a few pictures from the shopping adventures of the past few weeks.
Me - Veil Shopping!
With Mom and Anna...and hundreds of dresses! Yikes!
Cail smiling at how much she likes my choice in bridesmaid dresses!
Jenny realizing we are gonna have to take about a foot off the bottom of this dress for it to fit her!!
That's all for now. More to come as more develops.
Love,
Leigh
