Today I went with my mom to pick out a wedding dress. To preface this I must mention that I went on Monday with two of my closest friends for a session to try things on and such, to get some ideas. This afternoon Mom and I went back and after trying on a few more gowns settled on one that both she and I liked and was within our budget. It still doesn't seem real to me, not at all.
With all this preparation for the wedding here next year (we now have the Church, Priest, Hall and Dress) I just hope that mu hubby will be granted a visa to come! I certainly cannot marry myself at the altar, and at the moment I am not feeling very positive about it. Mom, however, says that she has a good feeling and this makes me feel a little more confident. (see pictures of possible gowns below...I will not spoil the surprise of which I chose in the end.)
Tomorrow is my last day of work, and I am both elated and sad. It has been wonderful to see old friends again, to make new friends and to earn some money. The opportunity has been invaluable!
It has been jokingly said that if nothing else I can open my own bar in Costa Rica, as I will have had enough experience bartending to do so. Haha!
On the whole I am not really prepared to go back...There are still some documents I need to prepare for residency, and having worked a lot the last week I have not had time to take care of the details. Naturally i should have done this much earlier, but I am ashamed to say that there is evidence of my Mother and Father in my procrastination and sluggishness concerning this matter...I really should have taken care of everything back in October. As it is, I hope that Mom will be able to send me the completed documents when I am home in Costa Rica.
Just one more week...I can make it! Getting the feeling that it will go quickly, and thank goodness.
Pura Vida.
