Always A Bridesmaid... Part 2

First of all, I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your kind comments and great suggestions on wonderful places to live around the Boston area.  

The Mister has a conference call with the relo company tomorrow AM.  Thursday evening, we meet with the lucky guy who is going to be our realtor for our Texas house.  The poor guy.  He doesn't know what he's in for!

And then the fun begins.  Constant vacuuming, dusting, no more of yesterday's clothes on the closet floor.  Being ready at a moment's notice to jump in the car, Gypsy in tow after hiding her bed and dog bowls, and shoving everything else under the couch or into random closets and drawers.     

I can't complain though.  It is a lot less difficult to have your house on the market when you don't have little children at home.  The last time we moved, the girls were little and they would develop a look of terror in their eyes whenever the phone rang.  They knew what came next.  Their lunatic of a Mommy would start running around in circles throwing toys, dogs, dinners - in closets and under the beds.  But  my favorite place to shove things was the washing machine and dryer.  Hours later I would wonder where I put the nutritional dinner of Hot Pockets that the girls were in the midst of consuming.  Then it would dawn on me - the pockets were in the washer with the wet clothes.  

Anyway, on with Adorable Jonathon's favorite feature - Wedding Wednesdays.  These are some photos of formal bridesmaid dresses.

Weddington Way

Love the color and the style.

How beautiful would this be at Christmas time?

Very attractive.  Neckline looks like it might be itchy tho.

Love the color and style.  Would look great on anyone who is 6 ft or taller.

Very sophisticated.

Gorgeous and elegant.

The Knot

Another elegant one.

Pretty peplum!

Love the color. Not so sure the style would look good on everybody.

Looks like she's making eyes at the groom.  Pretty dress, tho.

She looks mad that the bride got married before her.  I know the feeling.

Great simple style that would look great on any body type.  Even height-challenged, round ones like moi. 

Winter wedding?

Once Wed

I think that the bride should be pretty nervous having her bridesmaids showing up in this little number...




How does everybody like the new look of my blog?  My #1 designed it for me out of the kindness of her heart and a promise from her old mama to buy her a new pair of frye boots.



Hope y'all have a wonderful hump day!

He looks as excited as the Mister did on our wedding day.

Big News!

After 16 wonderful years in the great state of 

the Preppy Empty Nesters

are moving to

This move is bittersweet.  We have raised our girls in Texas, made life-long friends, and have enjoyed every minute of living in the Lone Star state.

The Mister is originally from Massachusetts (just had to spell check my new home state's name)  and I was born and raised in Connecticut.  The last time we lived on the East Coast was 22 years ago.  We look forward to renewing our friendships with our oldest friends, and we will miss our dear Texas friends. 

Now I have a favor to ask of you.  If you live(d) in the Boston area and love your town, leave a comment for me.  I would love your input as to a great town to live in that is commutable from Boston.

Hope you're having a great weekend.

TGIF...Almost

Is everybody ready for Friday?  I know I am even though the holiday through me off this week, and I couldn't remember what day it was all week.

I started my morning watching this cute video.  This dog steals my heart! 

And then this popped up in my mailbox from the Mister...

You & Me?

Parents Weekend?

I can hardly wait to see the pride in our girls' faces when we show up.

Hope your Friday is full of fun!
