I said YES to the Dress


After going to several bridal shops, I finally found the DRESS!!  I went to a few stores in Memphis and picked out a dress that I liked, but there were a few little things about it that made me question choosing it.  It was my favorite out of all the dresses I had tried on, so I felt like maybe I was just being to picky.  Friends of mine kept suggesting that I go to a store called Low's Bridal in Brinkley, Arkansas.  Me being my lazy self, I felt like the stores around me had the same style dresses, so I didn't want to drive all the way to Arkansas to see the same dresses I could see here in Memphis.  After a couple weeks had past my mom and I decide we were going to go buy the one that was my favorite. The night before we were suppose to go buy it I just had a weird feeling about it simply because I didn't have the "This is the ONE!" feeling when I put it on.  I woke up and told my mom I was going to drive to Low's so I could have some peace about buying the dress.  I told her that this way I wouldn't have any doubts about my purchase.  So off we go to Brinkley!! 
This store was HUGE!! When you walk in the store there are tons of beautiful dresses all on mannequins so you can see all the detail. 
It was almost overwhelming because all of the options.  I picked out a few to try on and some were completely different than what I had originally wanted.  I tried on 2 that I liked, then I slipped into number 3 and there it was! I got my "THIS IS IT!!" feeling. :) 
I was so pleased with my experience.  The staff were all so helpful and make you feel like a princess.  So if anyone is considering going to Low's but can't decide if its worth it… IT IS WORTH IT!

Time for a Change

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 
Psalm 32:8
 The past few months have been unpredictable for sure! Chad and I got engaged and just last week he excepted a sales job in Conway Arkansas. Talk about a complete 180! EEEKK. It's scary yet exciting. I had been looking around for a good starter home that we could move into after we got married. I just assumed that eventually Chad would find a job in Memphis and that was that. Boy was I wrong! God had a different plan for us. Sometimes you just have to let go and know that God has your life all planned out and we just have to be willing to go where He leads!
