Bridesmaid Dress, Finally

Since January I have been searching for a navy blue cotton sundress for my mom's wedding. This resulted in many hours search the web that should have been spent studying, many shopping trips, and many angry yells about the lack of navy blue this season.
A week ago my mom and I were at the mall so she could get a purse repaired and I could stop by work to fill out direct deposit paperwork and we decided to pop into Gap on the off chance they were using navy blue this summer.... best decision ever!It was a little too flowy on my around the middle (made look a touch prego) so my mom suggested the whole wide belt around the middle to cinch it in... after I made sure she was ok with it in her wedding pictures (her response was, and I quote If Michelle Obama does it, its ok with me) so we grabbed:
except instead of brown its a metallic gold...
After that I picked up some metallic gold flops from American Eagle that don't make that clomp soung like most leather flops do....
I love casual weddings.... so comfy!

Also, on an unrelated note.. I am teaching my black lab how to jump and put his paws on the counter when begging because I was bored during dinner.... I feel like it will be amusing to see how it plays out... in my defense my soon to be stepdad has taken my two unruly dogs and trained them to be well behaved and polite and this could not continue...

Text Messages Can Blow Your Mind...

So, finally school is done... I have move back home and have time to breathe.. except for the fact that my Mom is getting married soon and my life is consumed with wedding related things... I made 75 favor bags yesterday and 50 more today.
Plus, I take my drivers test on Thursday (I know, I know, I'm really late is taking it. In my defense I used to live a ten minute walk from everything and my mom worked really close to where we lived) so I am practicing like crazy...
Anyway, on to the real reason of this post... A couple days ago I woke up and noticed my phone was dead. So, I plugged it into its charger and turned it on; then, I noticed a text from the big sister informing me that our nephew had a girlfriend.... What? seriously? He's like 15 and fairly awk... I couldn't believe it... I asked my soon to be step-dad if he knew about it, yes he did. I asked my mom, yes she did... Apparently I was the only one in the dark... So of course, I logged on to Facebook went to his page and checked his photos... He has a totally cute little girlfriend!!! Craziness! I mean, I didn't date until really late (my first kiss was the night of my 17 birthday, but that's a whole other story....) I'm not sure why this is so mind boggling but it is...
Also, he was apparently named MVP of his Lacrosse team which is just awesome!
Anyway... just had to mention this...
Ciao,
Kate

P.S. Having a nephew in highschool makes me feel old.... even though I'm only like 3 years older then him...
