>Chris is right. At the first mention of a “wedding,” the price goes up 200%. When it’s just a “party,” there is room to negotiate. We are currently trying to decide if we want to do the reception in a separate site other than the church. There are legitimate concerns that we might actually be…

>Some people have been asking about all the phases of the proposal, so I thought I would provide a “guide” here in the blog so you know what was going on in all those gifts Chris gave me. So, here we go. 1st gift was a black bag of COAL. “For all the Christmases before…

>Today, I got myself a beautiful new wedding dress! I’d tell you all about it, but then I could not surprise Chris with it! Suffice to say that I made a heckuva deal (in true Christi Wright fashion), I absolutely LOVE it, and I might just wear it to both the wedding AND the Dallas…

>I’m not really wigging out, but yesterday, mid-day, when I was about to set out on the search for a wedding dress alone, I got out to my car, thought, “No freakin’ way,” and went back inside to grab my toiletries, two shirts and a pair of wrinkled jeans from a forgotten clothes basket, threw…

>Is officially not my strong suit. More and more, I understand the concept that I use with children which is called “controlled choice.” I give them two choices, both of which are perfectly fine with me, they choose one (which makes them feel like they are in control), and we are all happy. Looking at…

>I think it’s important to share with you both sides of this adventure. Hope that is okay! I just got home from the movies because I thought that a dark theater might be a safe haven from all of the million thoughts that I have about all the things I need to be deciding in…

>Once said a wise man. Named Chris. We talked about this concept shortly after getting engaged. I had told him that I have a tendency to spin out of balance at times (as if he hadn’t noticed), and I requested that he feel free to offer me reality checks from time to time during this…

>And we’re gonna get ma-a-a-rried. How many times did I sit and listen to that song on my Dad’s Bette Midler albums when I was a little girl? So very many. More than either he or I would like to recall. Not to mention that I have now officially shared with the world that my…

> Well, it happened. I turned forty. And nothing stopped working. Nothing fell off. I was not consumed by the earth. On the contrary, it was a pretty great experience. It was a work day (Friday), so I did that. Then we had our school holiday party afterward. Later that night, Chris took me to…

>To recap the 2007 list, here are the results: 1. World Market Gift Card — did not get. Totally fine with that. 2. Borders Bookstore Gift Card — my (now) boyfriend gave me one on our first date. 3. iTunes Gift Certificate — meh 4. An Easel and some acrylics — have not had time…
