Then on Monday we got up early and went to the garment district in LA in search of fabric for the tablecloths/table runners (see picture from previous post). The green fabric was pretty easy to find and we found a pretty good deal on it but the black and white damask fabric was verrrry tricky to find (especially since I was pretty picky on it exactly matching the picture :) ). About 5 hours into searching we finally located the perfect fabric! Cody's mom has a very good eye for things! Not only that but I also found some gorgeous lace fabric for my wedding dress which apparently is extremely hard to find anywhere. I've decided I'm going back to LA for all my fabric needs :) It was a pretty busy day but all the good finds made it well worth it (as did the authentic mexican tacos we found on every corner!) Here is a picture of the fabric:
We finished Monday off with a trip to the Beverly Center mall so Cody could scope out H&M for men's slim fit "European" suits with "skinny" black ties (he served his mission in Madrid, Spain and has a love for European style :) ). He ended up going back to LA on Tuesday with his mom and found suits for all his guys while me and Holly (his sister-in-law...and my future sister-in-law!) went shopping at Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. It was such a fun and busy trip but we got so much accomplished and I'm soooo glad we were able to go :)

I'll def. call u next time we are down. If u are going to be in Mesa the first of May, I'm going down for Morgans wedding. We should get together!
