In memory of my Dress

I know that it is materialistic. But we got robbed last week, and I am in mourning of my wedding dress. Yeah, things could be worse. They got away with $4500 worth of stuff, but the thing that I am most sad about is my wedding dress. The other stuff is replaceable (well, minus a few other things that were in my "treasure chest" with my dress), but replaceable non the less. In fact, our renters insurance only took one day to pay us back the money it will take to replace cameras, etc. But my wedding dress was special to me. Of course because I got married in it, but also because I designed it, I bought and picked out the material, and I worked right with the women who sewed it (I can only do so much, if it was going to be wearable, someone else needed to sew it). So in memory of my wedding dress, a few pictures:

So if any of you wander into a pawn shop and see my wedding dress, please buy it for me. I will pay you back. Also things to be on the lookout for that cannot be replaced: My journals (who would want these, really. My life is way to boring to want to steal these.

Chris is quite excited to get a new camera, lens, filters, etc. Backpacks, in fact the backpack they stole had a bunch of stuff he had just taken to climb Mt. Whitney, so the insurance even gave us money to replace his underwear :) good thing.
