Bridesmaids

 All of my bridesmaids, except my Jr. Bridesmaid Taylor, came over to the house Sunday for lunch.  I cooked Baked Penne for the girls.  It gave everyone a chance to hang out and get to know each other before we went shopping.  It is also a nice icebreaker so that everyone knows each other a little bit before showers, parties, and the wedding.  After lunch, we went to David's Bridal to pick out a dress.  They only tried on 2-3 dresses and we found the one! It looked great on everyone!! I am very excited about them.  I am also very happy that the girls went shopping all together with me.  It really meant a lot for them to be there to help pick out the dress!!  Thanks girls!!! :)

My sister came in from Mississippi.  So we got a Coley Family Picture! I love my brothers and sisters!!

 

 

This is the dress we chose, but the girls will be wearing Tangerine since the wedding colors are orange and white!
