Doing it all over again

Thirteen years ago tomorrow, David and I will celebrate our anniversary. WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Who would have thought that we would have made it that long (I guess having been married in the temple, does have a hint of forever to it). Well we have decided to do it up a bit this upcoming year.

When I was young and fabulous (now not so young, just as fabulous) I had my bridals done by a screwball of a photographer. I have only one picture from that man. And I can say for sure that our four year old could have done better. As for other wedding day pictures I have NONE!!!!!!!!!!!! (this picture was taken my my mother-in-law, I believe. And this is not my wedding dress, this was the wedding suit for the brunch at Gardner Village after the ceremony.)

So what David and I have decided to do, is re-take our pictures!! I am so very excited. I feel almost as gitty as when we first started this ride...okay I feel just like a school girl, all smiles and a little goofy. We are going to include our boys in the pics.

We've started with getting my rings sized. I have not worn my wedding ring in about 3 years. I have lost a lot of weight so I had to have them re-sized down 2 whole sizes! So now is the time to start the hunt for the dress. Yes I am getting a new dress. And yes it is going to be different. And yes it is not going to be as modest as the original.

As a matter of fact I went dress shopping last night and I tried on a dress that I thought I liked and one that I didn't even know existed and love it. Tell me what you think (you have to go to my profile and email me from there, it you don't already have our email address).

I'll probably make a a bolero jacket for it. I am not all that impressed with my arms so it just might work out being a bit more modest.

So now that a dress is getting ready to kick things off, I am starting to run more. It is nice to get back in the groove. I am signing up for a few 5k marathons around the city, so cheer for me and wish me good luck. WOW this is so exciting.
