Yard Sale Saturday

T-minus 9 days until Pittsburgh... which means we're getting our yard sale on today! It's been disappointingly quiet so far, but I'm crossing my fingers that the late-night college crew will roll up clutching their Starbucks when they finally roll out of bed.

If today is a bust, we'll try to sell some of our goods via craigslist. Otherwise, it's all getting donated to ARC. Can't take anything with us beyond what we can stuff into a couple {huge} suitcases.

Fiancé is poised and ready for the shopping masses... Now where are they??

In other news... I think I have the dress!! I bought it the other day and was on the fence about it, but decided to buy it as a "backup", just in case I didn't find anything else. I've been pretty discouraged this week about not finding the perfect dress. But when I pulled it out of my closet yesterday to take another look, I liked it better than when I first bought it, so it's growing on me. Maybe I'll love it by next Sunday, ha! A couple of girlfriends have stopped by our sale and gave me their positive opinions, too, which makes me feel so much better. Now to find shoes and accessories! Oh, and fiancé's outfit. A full-on suit is too much and too hot, but he needs to look like a groom at the same time. Oy...


What does your Saturday entail? Are you a yard sale shopper? If so, come on over! ;)

Happy Saturday!!

Weddings and cross-country moving, oh my!

The big move happens two weeks from today!! Eeek, there is still SO much to do... organizing and packing and selling and donating. We're flying out to Pitt, which means we're getting rid of whatever we can't fit into our suitcases. On one hand, it is incredibly freeing to be getting rid of so much clutter that accumulates over the years. On the other hand, there is a lot of clutter to go through. Oy.

And? We're getting married the day before we leave. So on top of a big move, we're trying to plan the Big Day. It's a low-key soiree - a small ceremony with family and close friends, followed by a combined wedding celebration/farewell party. Initially I thought this would mean little to no planning stress. Silly, silly me!

Take the dress, for example. I don't want a typical wedding dress. I want a white sundress, something pretty yet comfortable for getting married outside on a hot August afternoon - but still pretty and special. Oh, and not very expensive. Easier said than done.

After work today my mom and I continued the dress hunt. Here is an indication of how well it was going:

  

 I  barely find any dress options, but find a sweet Broncos jersey in a heart beat...Maybe I should get married in this?

Anyone have an suggestions or advice for me?? Any good ideas on where I might look for an affordable dress? I'm all ears.

Happy Monday!
