What's so hard about this situation?? You asked if they wanted to be in your wedding. They said yes. Now they have to do what you say. DUH!!! What is wrong w/people??

James is so powerful right now!! What do you guys think about what went down last night?? First off, I think Sheila is just really lucky that there was the whole controversy over "who was the third vote"...because she's been getting more & more nutty. Matty is so going down!! Natty seems like she is going to flip out if he goes.

That's totally awesome Mel. I'm jealous!

Hi Bradley - this sounds awfully familiar...

I tend to be of the opinion that you should follow your gut. I personally did not publish any announcements because I only want people I know & care about to know my personal business. I think public announcements invite contact from people you haven't heard from in a while - in most cases thats cool, but if you have a crazy ex who tried to kill himself, not so cool.

Awwww - great story Kate. I'm so glad you rescued that dog. And I'm also glad you found his owner. I am a total bleeding heart when it comes to lost/abandoned animals - I got that from my mom for sure. I used to do the same thing Maria talked about - sitting patiently waiting for a stray cat or dog to finally approach me & make friends. Ahhh, you are a good person. And I totally love that you have an office supply of pig ears!

I think you look quite beautiful in that dress!! Arms, schmarms! I think that is what you see when you view the pictures, because that is exactly what you are obsessing about when it comes to your body image. Now, what everybody else sees is a gorgeous girl in a gorgeous dress!

Oh wow! Welcome back & congratulations. I can't wait to see more pics!! Everything looks great. Isn't it cool how guests respond to the DW experience??!! Yay!!

Not to be a bragger or anything, but I got an A in Statistics, so if you get stuck, feel free to post questions & I'll see if I can help you out.

I am happy today because my husband and I had a great conversation last night & we are working through the difficulties of the past 6 months TOGETHER & on to happier times.

Wow, I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing all of this anxiety & fear about your pregnancy. It seems reasonable though, given all of the background. Definitely make a list of questions & concerns to address at your first appointment - information can kill the anxiety in my experience.

haha Martha - yes there is wood in there. It's a gas fire place. That is one thing I had a hard time with - there is a moratorium on the installation of wood burning fire places in our county - can you believe that crap? So we have a "faux fire place."

I'm glad this turned out the way it did. My hubby uses Craigslist all the time. I mentioned this to him & he said that he posted his Harley Davidson for sale yesterday (yikes - trying not to feel bad) and said "must go, raising money for closing costs under wife's direction." Whatever it takes baby, whatever it takes!!

Congrats on the new home! Pee stained carpets, huh? Fun times!!

Ok, I went & looked at the whole gallery...that was some serious fun times! You are an ANIMAL!

Those are THE BEST EVER bach party pics!! I haven't looked at the album yet - but you summarized quite well!

Ugh Melissa, that is so hard to drop any animal off at someone elses place. I hope the condition of the home is no reflection on the care she gives to animals.

Well, I am wearing green today - despite my best effort not too. Hubby apparently "washed" my black cashmere sweater AGAIN...I was going to wear that but it looks like it would fit a toddler now. Happy 1 year anniversary to me!! I'm "working" - but mostly BDWing & IMing w/Maria. I wish I could have a beer now.

Have a jolly St. Patty's day birthday Julie!!

Thanks Lisa! I posted some in the happy anniversary thread for you too Actually, this is the worst one - I think it was Tammy's fav:

I'm happy today because it's my first anniversary!! And because I can do this with chairties:

Wow, thanks ladies!! That's really sweet that you took the time to recognize our 1 year anniversary Today has been a crazy day already, kinda like a Friday the 13th to be honest, but I have to stop the crazy & say "it doesn't matter, today it's been a year since I married Rafael! So it's a great day & that is all it is going to be about - celebrating our marriage." I do wish we were in Cabo right now though... Time has gone by so quickly it's just crazy. Our first year of marriage has been filled with almost every life change you can imagine - new state, new jobs, building a house, oh yeah, and trying to build a strong marriage. It's been hard! But I guess thats what they say right? The first year is always the hardest. I feel like we are through the woods and can see the light at the other side finally! We are about to move into our new house & start a whole new chapter. Our goal for this 2nd year of marriage is to really focus on the love we have for each other & re-introduce some of those fun things we used to do that have gone away in the past 6 crazy months. Thanks girls - and I'm glad you all have such great memories of the chair ties!!! For all the fans of those moments, here's a look back:

Thank God I'm with Mr. Handyman now and that's the top of his ToDo list for this spring That was the area that I delegated to the hubby - deciding where outlets go, if we need extra ones...I just had no clue!
