Wedding Dress Sigh

Ok so most of you know that Erin is getting married. Yes Erin the girl I have been friends with since 1st grade(I don't know how she has put up with me for this long either). I am a bridesmaid in her wedding so last week I went to look at wedding dresses with her, Adri, and Erin's Mom. WOW. OK I have been in seven weddings and this will be number 8 for me so all of this should be no big deal to me now or so I thought. Then she came out in a wedding dress and let me just say that the dress didn't do anything for me. I didn't think it was the right dress for her but I saw Erin in a wedding dress and immediately without me even realizing it I let out a sigh. OK some of the girls will know what I am talking about here the sigh that when you see someone in the right dress or you see a bride walking down the aisle it just slips out. Well when I saw Erin in a wedding dress it slipped out. She looked at me and goes "Jack are you serious?" Because usually this reaction is saved until you see them in THE dress not a dress but THE dress. I look at her and I was like. Look it's my first time seeing you in a wedding dress give me a break. She laughed. Then I realized that since Erin and I have done everything together for as long as I can remember and that she has always been there for me through everything. Now she is getting married and I am going to be able to be there for her for this next big step in her life. This wedding is going to be very emotional for me. Now she isn't getting married until next October so don't worry about it yet but wow this is going to be strange.

After our appointment to try on dresses we went across the street had some appetizers and chatted about other wedding planning stuff. It made me realize how happy I am that I am done with school now. That if she got engaged before this that I wouldn't really have been able to help out. I love being able to be involved in the wedding planning and helping her figure out what she wants to do. I still can't believe that Erin is getting married but I do have to say that I love Ryan for her. I know that they will be happy together and that makes me even more excited that I get to be a part of this.

It seems like my life is settling back to the chaos it was before law school where I think I have a low key week planned and not much going on and things always seem to be added last minute or changed. I wouldn't want it any other way because I love having the friends and family that I do. I know I am spoiled. I'm trying to think about what else is going on with me right now and there isn't much to tell. My friend Andrew's band has a concert tomorrow night which I am sure will be awesome. I will tell you all about that next time. Otherwise just another day in the life. Hope you are all doing well.
