Just wanted to post a quick update after a very busy week!
And boy what a fun time. My soon-to-be mother-in-law came with me on Wednesday to my final dress fitting at David’s Bridal. It looks AWESOME. Apparently, because of where the pearl strands are, the lady had to completely undo the stitching, do the alteration, and then re-string all the pearls and sew them back on. Yikes! I joked when she told me that, that I was very glad I had paid up front! So that was really fun. I’m still on the fence about how to do my hair.
The first option is half up with a glitzy barrette. But if I go updo, here are a few of the options I’m considering…





So let me know what you think there. Those pics are all off of "theknot.com"
Also, a big shoutout to the gals from KCRG. They threw me a absolutely awesome bridal shower yesterday. And what a clever idea (courtesy of my boss and News Director Becky Lutgen-Gardner)… The gifts were themed by months of the year..meaning Each girl bought a gift with a theme based on that month. It was awesome! Candles, food, wine, blankets, and even stuff for holidays like St. Pattys, Halloween and Christmas. I’m set! But what a great idea for a shower. Very unique!
Then, it was time to wrap up the favors for Mexico. Candy, sunblock, gum, Tylenol, and other fun goodies all enclosed in cellophane bags. And the ribbon is too cute! Guests also get T-shirts with our wedding date and info on them, a tumbler, and a little beach bag. Fun!
This weekend I’m off to the Iowa State Fair. I’ll be sure to post pictures as soon as I can. No doubt, some funny images are to come!

Ashley, you have beautiful hair. I like the hairstyles in the top two pictures.Also, I saw in your announcement that you fiancee lives and works in Cedar Rapids. I remember you saying when you got engaged that he lived somewhere else and owned his own business. Did he relocate?
