January in Review

As usual, I've fallen behind in updating my blog. So here's January in review...so far.

On January 3rd, I modeled in the OK Bride Bridal Fair at the Cox Convention Center. There were 2 fashion shows and I wore one bridesmaid's dress and one wedding dress. I went out in my bridesmaid's dress and everything was fine. Then as I was putting on the wedding dress for the first show the zipper of the wedding dress broke. So I got clipped into my dress by veil hangers then we put a long veil over it to try to cover where it was gapping. I'm not going to lie, I was really worried that I was going to step on the dress and it was going to fall off. Luckily, it didn't.

Later that week I helped host a bridal shower for one of my long time best friends, Caitlin. We had the shower at my house, so I was in charge of cleaning and that was about it, which was nice, but still time consuming. But the shower turned out wonderfully, so I was happy that it worked out so well for her.

On January 16th, Jake and I both modeled in the Clear Channel Bridal Show. I really enjoyed getting to see Jake in a few different tuxes again. And I was pretty proud when during the rehearsal I heard several of the girls gawking at him before they found out we were married. If we had had more time I probably would have made Jake pose for some wedding pictures that I wanted to get but missed at our wedding. Oh well, maybe next time...

After the show was another friend's wedding. She was on pom with me, so a few of the girls that are still around came to the wedding then we all went out afterwards. This time we even did a pretty good job at including our husbands.

Caitlin's parents had tickets for the Untitled at Artspace Gala in downtown Oklahoma City so Caitlin and I were able to attend that with them. Untitled at Artspace hosts different kinds of arts and artists from all over the world and this was there annual fundraiser. This year's theme was each artist had a room of the house that they were to create furniture for then all the exhibits are for sale as well as having a dinner with live music and dancers. This was a chair in the "media room". This was one of those chairs that I was scared to sit in, but I had to try it.

That has been January in review.
