"But Not For Me"

Todays song comes from thr Broadway musical "Crazy For You.". It's one of my favorites. This song title I felt addressed how I feel while going through all of the hundreds of questions that have to be addressed in the upcoming year.

Do I keep the blonde highlites in my hair?

Is it odd that I don't want china and would rather register with Disney than any where else?

Do I change my name?

Do I ask only two people to be bridesmaids or have four?

Does Cash move with me or does he stay with my family?


These are just a handful of questions that have gone through my head since the engagement. Some I already know he answer to. Yes, I will change my name and become a Curtis. No, Cash will not move with me. It's not fair for me to make him leave his home when I know I will have less time with him now. The hair...um...any thoughts? Bridesmaids I am still pondering since I haven't made up my mind as to if we are going to plan a Disney celebration later. Yet, another question.


As we get ready to register for gifts I know I don't want china and would rather give up fancy plates for a Disney AP. I am a different bride whom needs to met the demands of many traditions and it's taxing. So friends, family and random readers I ask for your help.

What sort of things to you suggest we register for? Anything you wish you had asked for and more importantly what is now taking up too much space in your house that you never use.

I would love some guidance as we get ready for the next step...dress shopping!!!

"Welcome to Our Family"

Well hello!

I am just getting home from a wonderful dinner where my parents met Dan's parents for the first time.  We went to a local place, White Fence Farm, that is one of my favorites.

The food was outstanding and  I must admit it has a Magic Kingdom, Crystal Palace like appeal to the place.  Most of all it was just so great to sit with my whole family. 

The whole way home my parents were talking about how wonderful they were, and how much they liked them.  It only makes me think that I am truly blessed to not only have found a wonderful man but a wonderful family.  With our wedding I get not only wonderful in-laws, but a sister too!

This weekend we are heading to a bridal expo and in two weeks looking at dresses!  If there is one thing I learned tonight it is that we are getting closer to becoming us and less he and I. 

That, I must say, is a wonderful feeling.
