Perfect
Everyone who knows me, knows I hate getting dressed up. I don’t like wearing dresses — never have, even when I was a little girl! The only times I have ever actually felt like myself in a dress was my wedding day — I also didn’t mind getting dressed up for Sara’s wedding. I will admit, having a dress that is custom fitted to you definitely helps. Anyway, with Holly’s wedding quickly approaching the anxiety about finding a dress began to come over me. Sara and I went shopping about a month ago and found a dress that would work for the occasion. I didn’t love it, but I was sure that finding a dress that I loved was out of the question. At least I had something and I could stop stressing over it. Holly and Shane came up to Bellingham for the weekend and it just so happened that Holly brought a dress with her that I could check out to see if it would be something I would want to wear to the wedding. It was PERFECT! Totally what I would have picked if I knew it existed. It is very pretty and more importantly, very comfortable. Yeah Holly! She should be a personal shopper!
The next dilemma– SHOES!! We (the girls in my family) were blessed (I mean cursed) with having what my dad calls “Fred Flintstone feet”. Cute, little, delicate and dainty shoes are not our friends (although occasionally it can be pulled off if you are willing to totally sacrifice comfort). I set out last week to find shoes to go with my workable, yet not lovable dress and practically came home in tears!! It was not a happy trip. There are lots of strappy, cute sandals out there right now but nothing I would want to wear ALL day long at Holly’s wedding. I think I must have tried on 20-30 pairs of shoes. I gave up for that day. 
Yesterday Heather and I went shopping for her dress for Holly’s wedding. We found a dress she loved and then thought we would look for shoes again. I found the PERFECT shoes at Journey’s — and the best part was they were the very last pair, my size and on clearance for $19.99!! Miracles do happen! I know it may sound funny, but I am incredibly relieved. I am actually delighted that I have not only a dress that I love but now shoes too. I can leave for Disneyland knowing that I won’t have to come home and frantically search at the last minute for wedding attire. Happy Day!
