The jewelry search is over!

Life has been pretty busy this last week. I think I mentioned in one of my last posts that my schedule changed from working midnights to going back to working during the day. I was really getting used to having the easier schedule and I can't say I'm really enjoying working 13 hours a day again, but I sure will enjoy the paycheck when it comes.


Disney on Ice was on the 27th. I brought my camera, but as we were driving there I was looking up on the internet if I could bring it in. The website said small unprofessional cameras were okay as long as the lenses weren't extendable. We were running a little late when we got there, so I left my camera in the car because it's not exactly the smallest thing in the world I was afraid they wouldn't let me bring it in. As it turns out they didn't really check anyones cameras out so I was pretty bummed that I didn't bring it in. We had really great seats, but the iPhone didn't really take the best pictures in the world. I tried to take a picture of Jack to send to Sarah, but as you can see, it didn't really come out:

The show was really great and we had a really nice time so we would probably do it again if we had the chance.

In jewelry news, Ronnie had to take his car in for some kind of warranty thing and the Volkswagen dealership near us is no longer a Volkswagen so we drove out to the dealership in Ann Arbor so we could have lunch out there. We stopped in Briarwood to browse around and we found my jewelry! My birthday isn't until April, but Ronnie bought it for me as a birthday present.


Here is my pictures of the bracelet and earrings:
and the stock photos (The stock photo of the bracelet is kind of scary... ):Honestly I'm not very sure about the earrings. Ronnie loved them, and the lady in the store was going gaga about how beautiful I looked with them on and so I let her talk me into them when I originally wanted studs. I still have a few days to return them, so I might take them back and get a plainer pair. My mom and auntie Kay are coming over today to get a look at my dress and veil so it will nice to get an opinion of how everything looks together.

Speaking of veils, my mom made me TWO new ones! I posted a while ago about how I ordered one from etsy. When it came, it looked great with my dress except it was just TOO ivory. I guess a veil is something I really shouldn't have ordered online, because colors are just too hard to match without seeing them in person. I brought it to my mom and then her and I went to Joann's to get some whiter tulle. While we were there she found some really beautiful lace, so she made me a plain one, and beaded lacy one. I'll try to get her to take some pictures today when she comes over later to post because she really did a great job, and then everyone can see where my crafting genes came from.

Ronnie Sr. sent me a review of our ceremony recently. He did an absolutely beautiful job, I can't wait for everyone to hear it! The only thing left to do for it is our vows. I'm not sure if Ronnie (Jr.) wants to write ours or not, he did write a speech for the reception but he won't let me read it! One more thing down!

I know there was a few other things I wanted to post about, but I think this has been a long enough post! I'll try to update some more tomorrow or later in the week!

  1. I didn't even know that they had NBC in the ice show. I'm pretty bummed that I didnt go now. I can see the spiderwebs in the background at least. I like the bracelet. I don't know about the earrings. How big are they?

  2. It was right at the begining and it was LONG! They only had Jack, he was throwing a Halloween party and a lot of the Disney villans came out and skated around with him to 'this is halloween' (with some of the words slightly changed). I was pretty shocked because right before that an Alice unbirthday party opened the show! I was like 2 best under represented Disney movies, buuut the iPhone wouldn't take even a decent picture. We will have to go together whenever they have a next show!

    The earrings are maybe an inch to an inch and a half long? I
    thinking about keeping them, and then getting a smaller cheaper pair for the reception.

  4. I'll have to tell my mom that you liked the earrings, she was just asking me if I got to talk to you about them yet haha!

    I agree she did an excellent job! She tries to pretend she's not good at sewing but we all know that's not the truth!
