What a Day!!

Whew... what a day! Lane and I did some serious shopping at the Mall of Georgia today... of course it was all for our surprise March trip. (Speaking of which, I am sooo excited about it!!! Lane planned the entire thing all on his own... scary but true!! My man can plan!) So today's trip plan was to find one perfect dress for me, and about two bathing suits per person for the trip. Now as any of my friends will tell you- I'm a perfectionist. A completely OCD nutcase who manages everything and everyone in her life down to a detail. Yep- I'm that kind of girl. But no matter... Lane and I were giving the shopping together concept a try. It sounded like this for a while today...

Lane: "Hey, do you like this bathing suit?"

Katie: "God no! That cut is all wrong and I cant stand that pattern!"

Lane: "Are you ever going to find a dress?"

Katie: "Well you won't tell me what its for!!!"

Lane: "I hate this! I'm through shopping with you!"

Katie: "Hey, you're really cute when you stomp your feet like that. Kind of an adorable tantrum you just threw."

And so on and so on. So we laughed and joked and fussed our way through the entire mall at least 6 times. Finally we stop off in Dillard's. I fumed that this was the last store I was dragging my sore feet through... and we stepped into the dress section. Lo and behold there it was! The perfect dress was on the rack right in front of us. And it was Lane that pointed it out! (Yet another reason to love him! :) We then grabbed the dress, another one on the way into the dressing room where I tried them both on. I kid you not, when I tried on the first choice (In both our minds) angels sang. My tired feet wept with gladness. This dress is absolutely amazing! Stunning, gorgeous, perfect fit and wow oh wow did I feel like a goddess in it! (Sorry ya'll, I'm not posting pictures of it! Its a surprise until I wear it on our trip!!!)

So then it was on to bathing suits. This time around in only the fourth store we struck gold again. Now let me tell you all in case you didn't already hear this from me a million times before- Lane has excellent taste in all things pertaining to me. Jewelry, clothes, hair... all of it. So shock of all shockers he manages to pick up the two cutest swim suits I have ever seen!!! I then found two suits that I was dying for him to try on! (I have an incredible incredible amount of respect for how handsome he is and how much I can't stop staring at him :) Whew, I was not disappointed! Both swim trunks looked absolutely fabulous on him! (I have added swim trunks to my list of things to dress him in more often :)

To top of the day, we had a fun time running around all over Bath and Body works, until we finally were driven out by the mix of smells we had created. (I swear we had a cloud of it in our wake for the next 30 minutes.)
