Yes to the Dress

I never thought i would be like some of those crazy girls on "Yes to the Dress".
But lets just say i was.

Before i was a bride i would think "ahh you can never cry over a dress or just KNOW its the one".
I was totally wrong about it ALL.
I said yes to the dress and I cried like a big baby when i knew it was the one!

Well two weeks ago, my mom, mother in law, sister and myself went into salt lake to just look and see if we could get some wedding stuff done. We stopped at Michael and i found tons of stuff. We got all my center pieces, got flower girls basket ties for the groomsmen, flowers for my girls and the boys, cute little shirts for the ring boys, my cake topper, knife set and my wine glasses. We got really lucky with everything we found. Its kinda been hard finding stuff in my colors, but i think everything will look amazing.

So after we got all the shopping done we thought why don't we go and look for some dresses. Just to look, i knew i wouldn't be able to try anything on cause i did have an appointment. So we go there and started looking around, I found some really cute ones that i wanted to try on. I knew what kind of style i was wanting. But i was open to anything. It was about an hour of looking at dresses and someone called my name and they were able to get me in to try on dresses. YAY. So i grabbed three dresses cause i knew i was going to have to be fast about the whole trying on thing. The first one was pretty i really liked it, then i tried on the second one and fell in love with it, and the third one i liked but i was still more in love with the second one. I knew that second one was MINE. It fit me just right and i looked good in it. ;-)

My aunt really wanted to come and be there for the moment when i got my dress. I thought i would come back and buy the second dress cause the more i looked at it the more i was in love with it. So we made an appointment for the next Saturday so my aunts could make it.

Talk about longest week everrrr!!!!

Finally Saturday came around and we headed in.

Found about 5 more dresses that i wanted to try on. I told Lisa (the awesome lady that helped me) that i wanted to try on the one from last week at the very end. I wanted to see if any other dress made me feel as good as the one did.

So i tried on a few and lets just say i LOVE trying on dresses.
My little sister pick out one for me, so i tired it on. As soon as my mom tighten it up in the back, and before i even looked at myself. I felt amazing.

I walked out the dressing room and my aunts just started crying. I looked at myself and i just got this feeling like i cant explain. I felt pretty and i could see me wearing this dress on the day i become Chelby Garcia.

Still in the back of my head i wanted to try on the one from the other day. So i slipped into it and looked at myself, i was lost. I didn't know what one i liked more. I walked around in it a little bit, i looked at it a little more, and i asked everyone what they thought. Something inside of me was saying that i need to put the other one on again.

So back in to change once again i went. As soon as i stepped in this dress i got the feeling again. I started walking and it felt light, it just felt amazing. I looked at myself and started crying. I knew it was the dress i would be walking down to. I knew this was the dress i would become a Garcia. Lisa looked at me and said i think this is the one. I looked around and everyone was crying.

THIS IS THE ONE i said.
and the tears started rolling again..

I'm saying YES to the Dress.

Lisa came back over and handed me a bell. When you find your wedding dress we have you make a wish and ring the bell as hand as you can. The harder you ring the bell the more your wish will come true. Yes i rang that bell like it was going to break. That day couldnt of went any better,

It was pretty awesome to have such amazing people there to share this time with me. We were even able to skype with my sister Torie so she could be involved. I cant believe i found my dress. It makes everything so much more REAL. 6 more months. :)

Sunday (Monday) Social

Today I am linking up with Ashley over at Oh Me for Sunday Social!

1. What is your ideal way to relax?

Laying on the couch all day watching TV in my PJ's with no bra on. Yes I'm addicted to TV, and yes i do go all day without my bra. :)

 

2. Where is your favorite place to be?

As funny and cheese as it sounds but in Logan arms. I don't get to do this much. So when he hold me i love every minute of it! I just feeling so safe in his arms.

 

3. Who do you consider your biggest role model?

I have many role models. But i would have to say that my parents and Connor are the top. I look up to these amazing people more then anything in the world. My parents have been thought the worst thing in life but yet they are still in as much love as they were 35 years ago! I look up to my dad cause of the fight that he had to deal with. He fought for his life cause he knew his life wasn't done here on earth. Connor is my role model cause he is teaching me each and everyday that i have a reason to be living, and that i have someone who is going to love me though it all! You guys are my life and i cant thank you enough!!

 

4. What does your life look like in 3 years?

 Married, and have an other baby in the household! :)

5. If you could go back and change one decision, what would it be?

I am so content with the decisions that I have made in my life. I can honestly say that even though I have been unhappy at times with the decisions that I have made, that my life is awesome right now and things might not be the same had I made a different decision.

6. What is your biggest accomplishment in life so far?

I would have to say raising Connor to be a happy 5 year old boy and to own a house with my hot hunk!

 



The 4th Year

4 Years ago i was just coming home for a week long vacation in Mexico. Hating that i was coming back to the nasty cold.

But as soon as i got home i was asked out on a date. Little did i know my life would change.

January 21st 2009 is when i found my true love.

I cant believe after 4 years we are still going strong.

We bought a house together and we are engaged to be married.

The last 4 years have been such a blessing.

We have had our many ups and our many downs, but at the end of the day i know this is the man i want to spend the rest of my life with. He is the man i want to have kids with, the man i want to kiss each and every night, and the man i want to grow old with. He is everything i have ever dreamed of.

(First date)

Babe i cant wait to start this new chapter in our life.

August 3rd is going to be the most amazing day of my life.

I love you so much Logan and i dont think you will even understand how much you mean to Connor and I.

Thanks for always being there for us and making sure we are happy.
