Dress Shopping

Saturday I went wedding dress shopping!! It was very quick and lots of fun. My mom, aunt (who is doing the planning/decorating), Kev's mom, and one of my best friends from high school went with me. Yes, I know... I took a small entourage. Oh well. 

The consultant asked if I'd been dreaming of this day since I was a little girl. I could honestly say that I have not. I remember a time in high school where I would look through bridal magazines and see what dress I wanted, but not since then. Instead I always dreamed about building a house!

I already knew what I wanted. Nothing sparkly and with ruffles on the bottom. I absolutely love all of Vera Wang's dresses!  I picked five dresses to try on. Three were my choice and the others were for my aunt. 

So I got the ones I wanted to try on and went to the dressing room. Lynn, the lady helping me, handed me a bra and a slip. The bra goes to my waist and the slip to my boobs and it's the kind I material that doesn't breathe.  Well I don't like feeling constrained and hot and that's what all that garb did. I got the dress on and walked out.  I started getting really hot and couldn't breathe. I was having a small panic attack. I couldn't wait to get that crap off of me. I told her I was fine without a bra. I didn't need anything to lift me up or fill in the dress. The slip was vetoed too. Things went smoothly after that. The third dress was the one. It's absolutely perfect and they even had it in my size, so I could take it home that day. Of course it's Vera Wang!!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious!

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.
