thanksgiving

Clearly I'm a month late on this post. I spent a week back in Chicago for Thanksgiving and was able to make some more progress on the wedding, in addition to getting to spend some long overdue time with the family and friends.

Accomplished:
1. Had a trial hair run, along with dying it slightly darker for the winter months
2. Visited with a jeweler to have some of my Grandma's old pieces remade into earrings for the wedding
3. Consulted with a seamstress to figure out what alterations are needed on the wedding dress, as well as discussed veil options
4. Shopped for bridesmaid dresses with my Chicagoan bridesmaids
5. Assembled the Save the Dates with the help of the above bridesmaids :)
6. Took stock of all the mason jars my Mom has been stashing from her garage sale excursions (well over 100...so far!)

My sister, Dad, and I also hosted a 60th birthday party for my Mom which featured a blind wine tasting. It was quite a success and I'd definitely recommend the theme for future parties.

All in all, a successful trip!
