**The search for "The Dress"**

First of all, so sorry that I have been lacking on the posting. This past week has been a week of craziness!!! But it's Friday and all I can say is Thank God It's Friday!!! I am very ready for this weekend to begin! You would think that it would consist of tons of relaxing....wrong!

I am officially on the hunt for "The Dress". That's right, my wedding dress. Let me just explain something to everyone. I thought that I was going to try dresses on and then there was going to be a moment when the heavens part and I can hear the angels singing and God telling me, "Andrea, this is THE DRESS!!". However, it hasn't happened. :-( And I've been told by other brides, that they didn't have that moment either. So I'm still on the hunt. I've dragged my poor mom to 5+ stores to joyfully sit there while I dive into these dresses and come out of the dressing room and prance around in front of her in the hopes of hearing the heavens part. And unfortunately, nothing yet.

Now, it's not that I haven't found a dress that I like. Totally the opposite! I fall in love with every single dress that I try on! I mean, how can you NOT feel pretty in a wedding dress?!?!? I love them all. So now I've come to complete and utter confusion. I don't know which one I want. So once again, this weekend, I will drag my mom to 4+ different bridal shops in search for "The Dress"! :-) What are moms for huh??? She loves it though. I just hope and pray and that I will be able to share in my own daughters hunt for her dress. And like my wonderful mother has done, tell her to try on dresses that she absolutely "knows" that she is not going to like, and smile as she tries it on and falls in love with that one over every other one that she has tried on. :-) Yup that's right guys, the two dresses that I have narrowed it down to (so far!), have both been suggestions of my mom. And I couldn't love her more for it!

So we're off to another fun filled wedding weekend. It's so nice to be David and just have to pick a tuxedo to wear. Oh but I'm enjoying every single second of trying on a million dresses. :-) I mean I'll never be able to do it again in my life! So I'm living up every moment of it!

So this weekend when you guys are relaxing and enjoying staying in while it's pouring rain outside. Just imagine Andrea & Betty Rosso running around town looking for "The Dress".

Just another tid bit in our lives....

Wedding mania...

We have officially dived into full on wedding planning. :-) I'm smiling now, but it's not always smiles in the world of wedding planning. For those of you who don't know, my Maid of Honor Christie is my best friend of 15 years and also happens to be a wedding planner up in Oregon. She just sold her very successful wedding planning business because her and her husband have started a family and added beautiful little Noah to their lives. Ok, I'm digressing.

Anyways, on to the point of the blog, every since I was little I've been dreaming of my wedding and I knew "exactly what I wanted". And since Christie and I have a cardinal rule that we must see each other every 6 months, I have been fortunate enough to experience some wedding planning first hand. And boy have I seen some fun brides to say the least!

On one of my many trips out to Oregon, I had the pleasure of escorting Christie on a floral appointment with one of her brides. Of course I was there as her "assistant". :-) Anyways, I proceeded to watch Christie patiently help this very indesicisive bride with her flowers. I have never heard so many "I don't know" answers in my life. We left the appointment and I asked Christie how in the world the girl could not know what she wanted. She told me that it actually happens to so many brides that it's amazing. I, of course, was so sure that I knew exactly what I wanted.

Well, cut to, January 2008 and Andrea has officially become the absolute most indesicisive bride to exist! :-( All I do is second guess myself. But of course, all I have to do is call Christie and she is so good at calming me down and helping me piece together the millions and millions of things that I have running through my head. She is the best friend anyone could have, hence me asking her to be my Maid of Honor because I could never imagine anyone else standing next to me that day.

I had to make this a whole seperate paragraph. Speaking of Christie's amazing job at Maid of Honor. THE GIRL HAS DECIDED THAT SHE IS GOING TO FLY OUT HERE FOR 24 HOURS JUST TO HELP ME AND CALM ME DOWN!!!!! I know! She is amazing!

Anyways, enough of my whining. Cause I know that everything will come together and it will be a beautiful day. And most importantly, we will be married!!!

And on the wedding note, we have a fun filled packed weekend. Tomorrow consists of wedding shopping with my mom. I know, we'll take lots of tissues for her!! And then Sunday, is our big engagement picture day! Yay for pictures! I love them! :-)

Ok for now....everyone have a safe and fun weekend!

Stay tuned!

The Eagle Has Landed...

Hi guys. Today is the day! Nothing big for you guys :-). It's just that David comes home today. For those of you that don't know what David does, well let me fill you in. David is a writer/producer/director of films. Yup that's my fiance! :-) Anyways, he's in the process of finishing up his second feature film right now: "No Bad Days" (check out the website: http://www.nobaddaysmovie.com/) (how's that for pushing my fiance's work! :-)). Anyways, on to the point of the post, he has been in Cancun doing pick up shoots since Sunday morning. And well today is the day he comes home! Woohoo!

I must say that I do enjoy our time alone. I think it helps us relfect on each other and our relationship and helps us miss each other and appreciate each other so much more when we re-unite. And these past five days have been good and fun. I've gotten a lot of fun wedding obsessed researching and planning, oh no wait, what I meant was that I've gotten a lot of cooking, cleaning and organizing done! :-) But I am DEFINITELY ready for him to come home!

So baby.....say bye bye to and say hello to

Just another little tid bit in the life of Andrea!

New to the blogging world....

Hey guys,

So this is my first official post. I say this because the thing that is below was not supposed to be my first post. I haven't totally figured this whole page out yet, and that was supposed to be on the actual page. So anyways, this is my first post!

Hi! I'm Andrea! Most of you know me as "Andrea" (pronounced in Spanish), some of you know me as Drea, and some of you know me as David's girlfriend: Andrea. :-) Either way, hi and welcome.

I created this blog, well one because I like to talk a lot and if I don't write some of it down I may potentially drive my fiance insane :-), and well two because what better way to let everyone know what is going on in our lives than this! Day to day our lives continue to get crazier and crazier and we lose touch with people and tend to forget to update people on what is going on. And well now, people can take a peak whenever they are bored and really want to know what is going on in the lives of Andrea and David.

Which takes me to the next intro, David, my FIANCE! Yup you heard me write, the man WANTS to marry me! LOL! :-) David and I have been together for almost one year, and I would say that it's been the best year of my life! More on him to come in later posts but here is a nice little visual of him. :-)

I have a great life! As my title says, its beautifully chaotic. What does that mean?? Exactly what is says, it can be VERY chaotic at times, but it's oh so beautiful! I have the best friends a girl could ask for! And most of all, I have the VERY BEST family I could ever ask for. We are from Argentina, and that's all I have to say. :-) I love them. We are loud, funny and we eat all the time. And I wouldn't trade them for the world!

Ok guys, for now I think that is good for my "first post". :-) Thanks for reading and see you guys soon for my insights on my life! :-) Love you all!

Beautifully Chaotic
