Updates on me ;-)

for all those interested...(and NO, this is not a pregnancy announcement)

update on the dress situation: Against popular opinion I sent my dress to wedclean after the ball (back in March). As you know (some of you anyway) there was some damage to the beadwork on my dress after the original cleaning (at my MIL's cleaners). I then wore the dress again, and had to have it cleaned again. WedClean pretty much obliterated all the beads on the dress. But they have been wonderful and are repairing all the bodice beadwork. In fact, I believe they are sending it to Jim Hjelm to repair. My dress will be perfect once again (some day!). I love my gown, and I'm thrilled that I've already worn it THREE times. And I'm psyched that it will be restored to its former glory (whether or not it ever gets worn again).

update on the move: January! We're planning to pack up after the holidays (which we'll spend in NY) and head out. Job or no job, we're heading east. We're recruiting folks to make the trek with us (my sister is our fist volunteer - since we have 2 cars we'd like 2 in each to make for a more social trip). I'm so excited, and terrified . I know once we leave I'll miss SF terribly, but I'm psyched to be closer to my family (of course we may be living with my parents for awhile so that sentiment may change quickly...)

to be continued...
