Taylor Swift--- Fifteen

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say, "hi," to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
"You know, I haven't seen you around, before"
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen
Feeling like there's nothing to figure out
Well, count to ten, take it in
This is life before who you're gonna be Fifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail
And soon enough, you're best friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
Well be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And your momma's waiting up and you think he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tell you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss
Makes your head spin 'round, but
In your life you'll do greater than dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted was to be wanted
Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
Who changed his mind and we both cried
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found that time can heal most anything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Your very first day Take a deep breath, girl
Take a deep breath as you walk through those doors

dress update...

so.. long story made short... the dress I purchased @ Lex Bridals is a fraud.

When I called them on it, they did not understand that making a designer dress in their factory counts as fraud.... they didn't understand that this was illegal and refused to give me my $ back... I'm glad I have a stellar lawyer

i neeeeeeeeed these...

edible sugar diamonds for the cake.

amazing.

let the drooling begin....

I said yes... to a dress :-)

Went dress shopping today for the 4th time... started the day convinced that I wasn't going to find anything and just wasn't expecting anything amazing. Mom and I head to Annapolis this time. 1st appointment is at Lex Bridals (http://lexbridaldesigns.com). We pull up to the store and it doesn't look terribly promising. Old neighborhood, small looking lot... *sigh. Store #1 is a bust... so I thought... and I thought wrong.

We get in and are greeted by the NICEST women you've ever met. Lex and Andrea are on site. They finisht working with their 1st bride and let mom and me peruse. During our shopping time we found matching bridal and MOB dresses... no, we should not be allowed to shop together in public. Then we find fushia, lime and orange dresses... maybe good options for the mom's. I personally liked the red one with feathers.

After being silly, we pick out three dresses. I try the first one on and they automatically come and bustle it, pin it with a sweetheart neck line, cut out a layer of crinolyn... etc. Lex, the owner, also happens to make dresses. She shows me what she can do to the dress and it is suddenly transformed into the super cool dress. I like it.

Dress #2: I really like. It has sparkily beads and a different beading pattern than I've seen. Doesn't seem to fit me as well.

Dress #3-5 no go.

Re-try on dress #1..... sure enough. This is the dress.

They put a rush order on it... and didn't charge me. What I paid today included 3 fittings, free alterations (minus the bustle and hemline) and the nicest women I've encountered yet. Lex Bridals... you rock.
