Hello Blogger Familia!
David and I are moving 23 minutes down the road to a little townhouse in Fairfax April 15th :)
We found this place about 2 weeks ago and sent in an application immediately and were approved 3 days later, so awesome!
The place has a garage, a back deck and fenced in yard for our dog Achilles, so I am really excited to move in and get settled. David is excited too and he was not as thrilled about moving originally. Now that we have a place and it's a really nice area with everything we need and more, he is completely on board, thank goodness!
We also officially signed our lease and were overwhelmed to know all the things that need to be done prior to moving in. I almost forgot how much goes into renting a townhouse...
There is a lot to be done. Packing up everything, loading the cars and trucks, driving to our new home, unloading everything, then unpacking, then painting a few rooms, getting all the utilities signed on and squared away...so many things!
But we are still excited to move and start this chapter together as an engaged couple about to be married this october. I cannot wait!!
I will post pictures after we move in and get all settled in the new place. To Be Continued...

The Gown
So my favorite designer right now is Maggie Sottero and I love her gown creations because she creates designs that have a lot of lace and elegance, which I am all about right now.
I would put up pictures of the dress that I finally said 'Yes' to but I know that my fiance reads my posts and that would spoil the surprise for him. So all I can tell you is if you wanna see Maggie Sottero's wedding gown designs you can search her on google.
The specific design that I went with is a fit n flare/mermaid/trumpet style with a sweet heart neckline and lace from top to bottom of the dress. Mermaid can be very exaggerated but the shape of my dress is not exaggerated at all, it is very subtle and forms to the shape of my body in a way that is very flattering and elegant. I'm really excited and can't wait to wear it.
We went to Rosalin's Bridal Boutique in Falls Church and I had never been there before but I knew they carried Maggie Sottero wedding gowns. The gown I tried on first was the dress I ended up saying 'Yes' to and that one really impressed my sisters and future mother-in-law...they all loved it and pretty much compared all the others to that one. I tried on about 7 different dresses all the same style but with subtle differences. In the end we all decided we liked the first one I tried on so of course that was the last dress I tried on before we left the boutique. I went back a second time to have my mom and sister-in-law take a look at it and decide if they agreed as well that the dress was perfect for me....and they did! It was a unanimous decision and I told the lady that it was the one I wanted and where do I sign? Lol.
Since it's a designer dress it still has to be made. They said they would have it complete for me by July. I'm thinking it will be more end of July which will be a great Birthday gift for me since my Birthday is end of July. David's Birthday is also end of July.
We're thinking this year for our Birthday's we'll have a joint Birthday Party with friends and family. By then we should have our own place and can invite people over for a barbeque or something. Can't wait :)
In conclusion, I picked a wedding dress and it's everything I imagined...it's really close to the dress I envisioned and I can't wait to have my fiance see it on our wedding day. Thank you to my mom, mother-in-law and sisters (bridesmaids) who helped me make my final decision in purchasing the gown of my dreams (cheesy, oh well) :)

Anthomanic Florist
So I found this florist off the suggested vendor list given to me by Jo Anne and Will from Rock Hill Plantation. I wanted to find a florist in Stafford so we wouldn't have to transport the flowers a long distance. The florist is called Anthomanic and I really like her style. Check out her website!
http://www.anthomanic.com/
I love her style and it feels very hip and fresh. I already know I am going with fall colors (oranges and golden yellows with a mix of purples berries). I'm excited to work with her!
These colors are really bright - who ever did the photography did a superb job! What do you think of my colors? Until I see them in person with the dresses and fabrics I want, I won't know for sure how good it will look together but I feel pretty confident it will be a combination :)
My colors :)
