The Dress.

The Dress.
My first sign that God has been planning this wedding for me.



One week after i was engaged i went to check on bridal gowns.

More specifically, i went to Terry Costa to see if they carried one particualr designer and if they did, then if they carried one particular dress. Upon arriving i noticed there was a sample sale going on - to which i thought, i wish i wasn't so set on this dress or i would check out what was on sale. I was set on that dress, too. I had been looking at if for about 6 months already. I knew it was the one i wanted, no question.
(6 months ago was the about the time Chris and i seriously started talking about where our relationship was going... and really i was ready for it then, but God was not.)


So!

I proceeded to inquire about the dress and the timeline. It was going to take 4 months to get the dress in! Dang-it. I hung around the store for a little bit longer and looked at the other dresses, ones that wouldn't take 4 months to get in.
Then i am sure you can guess what happend... The sales woman came over to me carrying a dress - THE Dress. They couldn't find it earlier because it was on the sample sale rack and my $1300 dollar dress was on sale for $289! Yessss!
I couldn't try it on that night but i swore i would be back the next day. So i hid the dress amongst the others on sale and headed out.

The next day on my lunch break my friend, Deborah, and i went back to check it out. It took us a little while to find the dress in my hiding spot - but we did, i tried it on, and it FIT! Woohoo! Actually it was almost big, to which the sales woman responded - don't lose wieght and you won't have to get it altered - yet another WOOHOO! :)

So in a matter of 1 hour, i tried on one dress and took it to the counter to buy. My last "woohoo" in this story? The dress rang up for $189! 6 months ago this dress would have been $1100 more.
Thank you Lord for your timing in things.

The wedding.

I have been engaged now almost six weeks and i have about %70 of a wedding planned. There have definately been some ups and downs in this process! And my lower back can tell you that i have experienced my share of stress. BUT! In less than 2 months, i will officially be Mrs, Chelsea LeAnn Green.


Kinda exciting! :)

More on the ups... and the downs, to come.

To Blog...

The days have been going by a lot faster these past few years. Each day with it's own failures and accomplishments, each week and month with it's own. With every year comes a new life-changing event and i can barely keep up with what i had for breakfast or if i wore this same outfit last week.

So! As i am coming up on the most important step of my life, i want to capture every moment. The good ones, the bad ones and all of the ones inbetween.

This is my life and the people i share it with; these are my decisions and how they open up into good situations and bad ones. These are the things and people God has blessed me with.

This is it and this new chapter of my life begins at 7826 La Sobrina Drive.
