Dress Fitting

I went to my dress fitting today. I went in with the mindset that my dress wasn’t going to fit. Reason being that when I ordered the dress, I got it a size smaller than what I was measured at. She told me that in order for my dress to fit, I would need to lose about 6 inches around my middle. Now I have been losing weight, but not keeping it off at all. I measured myself the other day with the under garments on that I will wear under the dress, and it only brought me down about 2 inches. Not anywhere close to the 6 that I needed for the dress to fit.

Soooo… I went in today with my aunt while all the time in the back of my mind thinking that it wasn’t going to fit. The lady went and brought the dress to me and got me set up in the dressing room. I pulled the dress off the hanger thinking that it sure looked like it should be big enough to fit. I went ahead and pulled it on, but wasn’t able to pull up the zipper. NOT because the dress was too small, but because the zipper is really tight to pull up. So I hollered for my aunt to come in and help me zip it up. First she hooked the top hook, then she worked on the zipper. Once she got it started it zipped right up!!!!

Talk about being a happy camper!!! I was ecstatic!!! Not only did the dress fit, BUT it was also a bit loose in some areas. =) Stupid me forgot my strapless bra back in San Jose, so the top portion definitely seemed bigger than it should, but once I have that strapless bra on, the top will fill back out. I am now out of the stress zone. I honestly could care less if little things fall through the cracks as far as getting paid for. I figure somebody in my family will step up to help pay for things if needed. All I care about is the fact that my dress FITS!!!

Now I am super excited for the wedding!!! LOL Knowing that my dress fits, and that if I do lose any more weight now, it will be an added bonus, but not something that HAS to be done before July. PHEWWW!!!

Today was a long day. I got up with morning with my mom at 5:45!!! I was not likin’ that one bit, but I had to go to work with her so that I could be ready to go to my fitting at noon. I got to see my grandmother this morning. She seemed to be doing alright. She has been having problems with her blood pressure lately, and has been in and out of the doctor’s office and hospital. She is just so worried about being okay for graduation tomorrow and the wedding in July. She is going to be seeing a cardiologist this week to rule out anything serious.

Tomorrow is going to be another long LONG day. I once again will be getting up WAY WAY early to go into work with my mom. Luckily this time though, she can just drop me off at my aunt’s house and I can go back to sleep for a couple of more hours before church. After church is a quick lunch at Grandma’s probably and then off to graduation for my cousin. I can’t BELIEVE that my cousin is graduating tomorrow!!! I’m going to be a mess!!! LOL

Just watching the video that he made with a bunch of his baby pictures all the way up through his current pictures… plus some videos of some of his games… brought tears to my eyes! He has turned out to be such an awesome person!!! He is genuinely a nice guy… not some stuck up preppy kid who thinks his shit don’t stink. He has won numerous awards and medals over the years for his sports achievements and academics. He was also Homecoming King this year. AND he just recently won one of the most prestigious sports awards in our school this year. I am so very VERY proud of him.

So tomorrow will like I said be quite a day. I’m very much looking forward to it. I will probably be seeing quite a few of my family members, and will hopefully be able to confirm who will be able to make it to the wedding in July. It is going to be a great day!!!

Monday is my last day here. My flight back to San Jose doesn’t leave until 8 on Monday night though, so I have all day with my mom to do our running around and getting our (hopefully) final major planning taken care of. I will write more once I am back in San Jose, and maybe possibly post pictures of me and my dress. =)

Everybody who reads, have a good rest of your weekend!

Laters,
