Random items

To all the faither readers of this blog, I have to emphasize again, I still remember I have a blog, but I haven't found anything exciting to write recently. 

It might not find this exciting, but let me do a breif update on things we have been doing (both wedding and non-wedding related stuff).

I finally received the extra fabric (plated tulle) from Landy Bridal.  The shipping time wasn't long, but there was moments of "what the xxxx" while dealing with the customer service from Landy bridal.  After I ordered and paid for the fabric, the customer service messaged me on Skype and asking me what kind of fabric I want, if I want something a bit softer or a bit stiffer.  I was so annoyed by that, because I really had no idea what would one consider as soft or stiff.  I was on the verge of turning into a bridezilla, (maybe if you ask bear he would probably think that I was already a bridezilla long before that) but since I really needed the fabric from them, I tried to remain as calm and as polite as possible.  So I politely told them I would like the same type of fabric they put on my dress, to my surprise they told me that they didn't remember what kind of fabric it was, and it would be easier if I could just tell them if it's the "softer" or the "stiffer" type of plated tulle.  As you all know patience is never my strong suit, Bear had to coach me how to politely explain to them, one couldn't figure out if something is softer or stiffer without anything to compare against.  At the end, they finally sent me the correct fabric.  I dropped off the fabric at my seamstress the weekend before and she is working on it now.

I was looking for a borrowed tiara and Sara offered to lend me hers.  I tried it on, it was grogeous.  But, I didn't feel comfortable taking such a sentimental item to a destination wedding.  I ended up buying a small cheap tiara.

We did Sun Run again this year.  To be exact, I did sun walk and Bear ran it.  I walked with my co-workers and finished just under 2 hours.  Bear did really well this year he did it in 49 minutes and 36 seconds.

I bought a pair of rental skis from Cypress.  They were super cheap, we figured it's more worthwhile than always renting them.
