25 jun: girls' day in tulsa with amelia

on thursday i set up some girl time for myself. i was supposed to have coffee with shannon and then amelia called to find out if i could hang out. i told her that i could probably do dinner. she found out i was having coffee with shannon and suggested we combine the two over dinner. i thought it was a grand idea, so when shannon got off work, the three of us met at cheddars. i hadn't had cheddars in so long! it was delicious. we spent time catching up on each other's lives and then talking a little about the wedding.

shannon and i had talked earlier in the week for well over an hour just trying to catch up with one another and listening to one another's heartbreaks and frustrations.

shannon wasn't able to stay long after dinner because she had to bake for a shower at work the next day. kate was supposed to meet amelia and me after dinner, but her meeting went long and we ended up taking a rain check. i was supposed to pick up my wedding gown the friday before, so amelia and i swung into david's bridal to pick it up. it worked out well because she'll need to know how to bustle it the day of the wedding and the seamstress was able to give her a lesson.

it took longer than we expected at david's. we headed over to dillard's to work on our wedding registry, but the system wasn't able to pull up what i had already created online. by the time a new account was created we only had about 15 minutes. the sales associate was such a sweet lady, though. she told us we could stay until about 20 minutes after closing. we hurried through trying to get a good start on the registry. when we finished there we made our way to target. we were so busy talking, though, we found that i would scan any random thing that caught my eye! we started cracking up. we just hadn't had anytime to talk with one another in quite some time. after the store closed, we made our way outside ... and ended up talking in the target parking lot for an hour after closing! our feet were hurting so bad ... and then we looked up and saw a bench not even 10 feet away that we could have been sitting on the entire time. what crazy girls are we.
