My wedding photographer hosts his proofs through them. I got a couple hundred proofs and IMO the black and white ones aren't great. They are kind of blotchy (? spelling) So I ended up ordering all my prints and enlargements through MPIX, they were awesome and I do all my printing from them now.

DH and I decided to go to Chicago for our anniversary (since it's not that much money) anyway we might go the weekend of May 31st or June 7th. If anyone wants to try to meet up then, let me know.

My only advise is be careful, I ended up rubbing a little on Dh's shirt.

Can you send me a PM and I'll delete it for you. I need to know the title of the thread.

Welcome to the forum, I'm one of many brides that got married in Cabo. Are you thinking about doing a site visit to help narrow down your choices? I might also recommend you contact our TA's on the forum, Tammy host got married at Dreams Cabo.

I tanned for about 2 months before our wedding, I got a really good tan before I went. I was REALLY good about staying out of the sun (sitting by the pool I would sit under an umbrella) I even had SPF 30 makeup on. Well all that went to the waste side, when DH and I decided to get a couple massage the morning of our wedding, well after wards, we decided to take a short walk on the beach before we parted ways. Yeah, I didn't even think about all the oil they put on us and my shoulders got really burnt in the 30 minutes or so that we were walking on the beach.. lol.. So my advise, just becareful.. :-)

We got married in Mexico, however we didn't need our birth certificte translated. But you should be able to find a local place near you that will do translations, I had to pay for our marriage license to be translated into English before they would legally change my last name. It's a very easy process and takes only a couple of days.

Awe congrats sweetie, Oh the days when we all heard how you were engaged and had Leigh do your surprise E-pics the same time. Now look at you, your married. :-) Best of luck to the both of you, can't wait to see pics.

Yeah Christa, so happy that you are finally moving into your home. I'm sure it was much anticipated. OK BDW PARTY AT CHRISTA HOUSE.. lol

Juan, I was beginning to think you forgot about us... Good to see you again. :-) Great pictures as always.

Awe, Kelly I'm sending you a big hug... Mine would be to get pregnant and continue on to have a healthy child...

Best = Eyes Worst = Everything else

Oh trust me, I will. Plus the person that did the homevisit lives close to her so I may send him over to do a check up. :-)

Well, we called this couple last night, and then we spoke to a couple of the board members about them. We determined that they are probably just young and not very experienced, but that they should still be a good match. :-((( So Elsie will be going to her new forever home next Saturday. OH I did threaten the women that if she doesn't keep in contact and send updates that I will hunt her down. :-) She laughed, but ummm I'm serious.. lol

The Sheraton doesn't charge a fee since it's not AI.

Great review, and your pictures look great. Congrats and Hope you have a H&H marriage.

I bet before the weekend is here that we'll have some news from her. :-)

Some of these gifts would be great if you guys had pics of them.

Mine was from this years birthday, this past January. Someone got me a plate design kit, ok so some of you may think it doesn't sound bad, but it's a plastic plate, and it's something that I would get a 5 year old, in fact the instructions even say at the ordering screen "this is where your parents are going to have to help you complete" (or something to that effect) I know this person thinks I'm crafty, but umm what the heck I'm I suppose to use a random plate design for?

I thought it might be fun to list what the worst gift you have ever received from someone.

Did you ask the jewerly shop if they can make a custom wedding band with just gold? And what it would cost? I would assume the price you listed is with diamonds, I would bet just a plain gold band would me much cheaper.

So we go for dinner, sometimes a movie, and we leave her in the truck with the windows cracked because she loves people watching and the Explorer is still better than cooping her up in the kennel at home. (But we also have cushy blankets in the back, and keep food/water dishes filled in the truck for her too). We also take her on vacation with us, and camp out if we can't find a pet friendly hotel to stay in. (We spoil her and love doing it! Wouldn't you be worried going to see a movie while your dog were left in the car? I mean I hear all the time that dogs are stolen out of cars. I understand their are times when their is no choice but to leave your pets in the car. But I know personally that if Cain and I are on a long road trip and our dogs are with us, we don't stop at eat at a sit down place, we grab fast food. Yeah who wants to eat fast food all the time, but for us it's not worth the risk of something happening to them. IF their is a time that one of us is traveling with our dogs, and say we have to really use the restroom, yes we leave the dog in the car, but it's for less them 5 minutes. I know everyone has a different point of view on this subject, but should that be a deal breaker if we are strongly against people leaving their pets in their car, however others in the rescue group have said they do it from time to time for no longer then 15-30 minutes?

Heidi you look so happy, and you totally deserve to be. All your pictures you can see the joy in your eyes. I'm so glad everything turned out well. Congrats girl

UGh this is really a hard place to be. This couple has so many good qualities, but at the same time my views of things may not be views of someone else. And who is to say who is right or wrong. Ya know? I mean I know I'm not perfect, I've made my mistakes with my pups. But this is a very special girl, that I'm looking for the right home for. I know when she is placed that it will take her about a month before she is at ease their. So I'm trying to find a home that will be the easiest transisition for her.

The only red flag I really see is that you now remembering them saying they didn't have time for their high-energy 1 1/2 year old so are wanting another dog for her? I'd definitely question them on this. Yes the dogs would be left in their finished basement. Elsie is actually crate trained by rescue guidlines. It's much easier for a dog to be placed in a home if they are crate trained, we don't want to decide for the potential owners that their dog gets free roam of the house, also as much as I would love to sleep in bed at night with our fosters, we don't because again if the potential adopter doesn't want that, then it's a hard habit to break. Elise was paper trained when we first got her, then we slowly got rid of the x-pen that had the papers so that she learned to hold it, now she is potty trained. it was a long process because she never walked on grass (or snow since we got her close to winter) before us, but she has now been potty trained for about a month now. So IMO if we can train a puppy mill dog to go outside, then their should be no excuse for a 1.5 year old not to be trained. As far as them wanting another dog to help with the energy level of their existing dog. Well We decided to get a 2nd dog to keep our other dog company when we weren't at home. So I understand that to a point. However it took us until our boys were at least 1.5 (we had them both at puppies) before we allowed them free roam of the house while we were gone.
