This Girl is on Fire

Well, today was the day.  Today was one of the days my best friend has been looking forward to for so long.  We went wedding dress shopping!  :)  Momma Abe, Joy (Caleb's momma), Lynnae, Whit, and I piled into the car to head to Des Moines.  It was such a fun car ride there and the time flew by.  Naturally, we had to make a stop at Scratch!  This was Joy's first time.  It was a big day for me as well!  I hit stamp #50 on my tour card!!!  :)

Our first place was Schaffer's.  I have never been wedding dress shopping before, but it felt so natural to be picking out beautiful dresses.  It was so much fun to watch Whit get all gussied up in the beautiful gowns and twirl around on the pedestal.  Lynnae went right for the shoes and kept walking around in some high heels!!  It was a no go on the dresses there, but before we went to David's Bridal, I treated myself to a cup of Turtle Mocha from Caribou Coffee!  :) 

At David's Bridal, Lynnae was tired.  The place was busy, and there were so many dresses that would be perfect.  This was the place we should have started at.  I was able to do the honors here and zip my best friend into all 3 contenders.  Honestly, she only tried on 3.  The first 2 were big hits, but that third one.  WOW!  That was it.  We all looked at her, she looked at us, and we all just knew.  The tears came down.  The hugs were given all around.  The pictures were taken.  The bell was rung.  Whit had found the dress that she will marry her other best friend in on November 23rd.  It is BEAUTIFUL, and that's all I can say...until I can share pictures in November!  :)

After that, we joined up with the fellas at Hu Hot and had a very late lunch.  We talked and laughed the whole meal through.

The whole way home, we jammed to Taylor Swift.  We danced like crazy women.  We laughed into hysterics.  We belted out the high notes.  We let Lynnae sing her solo...This Girl is on Fire.  :)
