We explored Morton yesterday evening and weren't very successful in finding apartments. We found two complexes that we were familiar with based on their bad reviews on an internet site. We also randomly found some small complexes--none of which looked very nice or had signs up about availability or how to even inquire. Unless we're given some great information about a different building before mid-September, I think we'll end up going with Cape Cod Village. It's quite expensive, but probably worth it. It's the nicest we've seen, there's a lake, they allow animals (cats AND dogs, so we could get a pooch if we wanted), there's a clubhouse (pool, billiards, work out room, tanning facility--all free), and another cool hang out spot with tables and fireplaces outdoors... there's just a lot going for the price and it's a good location too (close to the interstate). I think we would be happiest there and if it didn't work out, of course we'd only have to stay for a year and then move somewhere else. I'm excited; I want it to happen right now, but I know we need to wait until we can save up some more money and Philip starts his job. I'm excited, but still kind of scared and apprehensive, but I know it'll all end up fine. It always does.
Marriage Monday - Something(s) New
This one was the easiest of the something old/new/borrowed/blue, because basically I bought everything new! My dress was from Bridal Elegance. I really do feel like this dress was meant for me. It was on the sample/sale rack and the sales girl brought it to me. I wouldn't have found it otherwise. I loved it. I loved the ruching, the modified sweetheart neckline, the fit and flare (really I think this one is considered mermaid), and the asymmetricalness of the bottom. Despite some of the issues I had with it later on (expensive alterations and cleaning), it was so worth it. That freaking sash. Hahaha. You all remember the sash saga. After all of that, I found the perfect one on Amazon, of all places. I knew that I wanted a bolder earring since I wouldn't be wearing a necklace. I saw these at Von Maur and fell in love immediately. I knew that I wanted pear-shaped ones because to me they have more of a classic, elegant feel. I just couldn't stop thinking abou...
