I'm closing this thread, no point dragging this on.

Corporate Logos Quiz - AOL Money & Finance I got 15 out of 20

Paula great job with your new sig.

I tired to sell mine, but with no luck. I think I'll keep mine and make something out of it when I have children. I might donate it if the right person comes along. Let's face it, I'm sure our future children will not want to wear our out of style dresses, and that's if you have a girl and they are the same size as you.

I think everyone picks their wedding location based on their needs, family needs and the "feel" they got of the resort. With that said, we decided on "Sheraton, Cabo" because the over all feel was exactly what I was looking for. I know when I was in the beginning stages of my planning I read many reviews and in pictures all the resorts looked great, but it wasn't until I actually went their that I was able to find the perfect one for me. My point is, everyone is attracted to different things which is why everyone choices a different places

As the others stated, we have many dreams brides on this forum and off hand I can't think of anyone that complained about the "quality" of the resort. In fact many return to Dreams for a vacation after their wedding, so IMO it can't be that bad.

Welcome to the forum. Please take the time out to read the "vendor rules"

So if they do the same you can end up saving some money by waiting until your class

Carly, is their a way you can take a picture of the flower against your head? That way you'll know if they are going to be too big.

Yeah your totally right Kelly. I do "eventually" tell Cain how I'm feeling, but usually it's too late. Like I already commit to something and then regret it later, then I pretty much have to deal with it at that point because it's too late to turn back. The problem, though is this. Say we agree to take in an aggressive dog, but then I realize it's way too much for me to handle. Well at that point it's already too late because every foster home is bursting at the seems with foster dogs and their are only like 2 or 3 people in the group that know how to handle that type of dog. SO it's not like we can turn our back at that point. I want to help, and with Bennie, he seriously got so much better after he was neutered and with some little training but those first couple of weeks I was so stressed. Who's to say the next dog won't be the same, better or worse?

Tammy sometimes you need to put other things second, and you first, and maybe this is one of those times. As always I am wishing you faith, hope, and happiness. Thanks kelly.. That is one of my problems, that I put other people before myself. Cain is the exact same way, maybe that is why I get stressed over things, because I'm taking on more then I should. But it's a fine line for me to learn, like being supportive without just giving in. I mean I can stand my ground on stupid things but stuff that I know is important to Cain, I tend to just let him do what makes him happy, and in turn I end up really stressed. (IE prime example, saying it was ok for two of his cousins and his mother to move in with us)

And when you do have children in the house, you can agree that you won't foster any more aggressive dogs. I've got to think that Cain would agree to that, no? Cain would never put our future chilren at risk. But lets face it, if I'm all stressed out all the time that can't be good with TTC. ya know? Sometimes I just need a break, but when you have your house full with pets that need to be rehabilitated, that just doesn't happen because your guard is always up or they need your constant attention. Maybe we should just take it "case by case" sort of thing..

Quote: Originally Posted by JessicaLovesBrian On one hand, it is really sweet that your DH wants to help all dogs. But I can totally understand where you are coming from. How long would this dog be with you? Just because you mentioned the wanting a family thing, the dog wouldn't be with you longer than 9 months right? Or is it that you mean you feel like Cain is going to keep bringing home aggressive dogs in the future. I can definitely understand why you would be worried about having a dog like that around small children. I would also imagine aggressive dogs would also pose a problem with other pets in your house as well too right? Sounds like a lot to handle! Jessica, each dog you foster you never really know how long they will be with you. Shoot before we adopted out Bennie (our aggressive foster) we are also fostering a mill girl, we have had her for over 6 months now, Bennie was with us about 2 months and was adopted out before her. So we never really know how long each dog will stay with us. Even more so if the dog needs more training then others, we won't feel comfortable adopting out a dog to anyone until we feel it's a good match and the dog and family can adjust well. Having a dog in the house that is aggressive doesn't really mean they will be aggressive towards other dogs or animals for that matter, some dogs are aggressive towards people who wear hats, only men, other dogs, and so on. Of course we would have to draw the line to bringing home a dog that is dog or cat aggressive because we would never put our pets at risk. However eventually we plan on opening up a center that can house those types of dogs so that they can be worked on, but we are no where near that point. Cain wouldn't accept a dog without talking it over with me first. I try to be as supportive as possible, because this is only things that can help in our future. However I still have a higher fear towards aggressive dogs then he does, shoot their isn't a day that goes by that when he is at the shelter that he doesn't get bitten by a dog.

As many of you know, DH and I do fostering for dogs and also volunteer at a local shelter. DH is in the process of becoming a certified trainer through one of the top animal training clinic's. Our plan was to eventually open a business and this training would come in handy for that business. SO the rescue group we volunteer with, as well as the shelter, are now asking DH to help train aggressive dogs. DH has only been taking classes for just over a month now, and it takes about a year to be certified. We just got done fostering an aggressive dog that we were only suppose to have for two days (he was with us for 2 months) well lucky for us, after he was neutered and we learned what set him off we were able to work around his aggression issues, but this wasn't easy and it caused me a ton of stress because I'm not a fan of dogs wanting to eat my limbs. (so to speak) So DH gets another email today from the rescue group we foster with about a 1 1/2 year old Boston that has aggression issues, apparently he has bitten small children and "some" adults. OK I know DH wants to save every dog out there, and I love him for that, but I don't know if I can handle another aggressive dog right now, we just adopted out the last one less then a week ago. I'm much better at nurturing a sick dog back to health, teaching a mill dog what it's like to be a dog or even giving a senior dog a place to live and be loved until they pass away. Aggressive dogs are another story, don't get me wrong I want to help these types of dogs because I really do feel that every dog can find a home that's perfect for them with some training. But I worry because DH and I have plans on wanting to start a family, and having a dog that is aggressive isn't something I would want to deal with if their is small child in our home.

Sorry Kelly. Men are a PITA sometimes. Cain tried and failed horribly at putting up crown molding in our home, so he wants to hire someone, so a family member has a friend that said he would do it for real cheap and a case of beer. I'm thinking "GREAT" but Cain want to hire someone and pay them real money, for reasons I still don't understand. Guys are weird... :-)

wow, it looks really good. WTG

What about a page decorated where all they have to do is insert a picture from your wedding with them.. or something like that.

In all honestly it doesn't bother me. A couple of months after we were marred he had a bachelor party to go to, and they wanted to go to a strip club, my only comment to him was "if you want a lap dance, then call me ahead of time so I can watch" Ok you girls must think I'm crazy, but my DH isn't that type of guy and I can just imagine the look on his face, and I would probably pee my pants laughing at him. I trust him and I know he's not going to do anything stupid or put himself in a situation that he knows I wouldn't approve. Besides with all that said, I think for the most part, men just drink and look, where as women go crazy at them. If I were a guy I wouldn't trust women going to a strip club.

We have MANY brides that got married at Dreams cabo. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find more information then you could possibly need.

Here is my take on showers. IMO if you have been living with each other for awhile then one can only assume you have almost everything you need. A family member of ours got married and had a shower, she registered for things she already had but wanted to "upgrade" I ended up getting her a personalized gift because I just couldn't understand why you would just have a shower to "have a shower" A friend of mine is getting married in a few month, and is having a shower, she has been living with her FI for at least 3 years and she registered for things that will furnish his kids room. Ummm again I have a huge problem with this (she registered for 6 different sheet sets for example, all different colors and styles) Now with all that said, if you actually "need" stuff and I mean really "need" things then I totallyl agree with having a shower. I guess it's like if someone has a child, has a shower but then has a second child an has another shower. It just seems like their being a little high maintence.

Congrats, what an exciting time for you.

Christine you have no idea how ready for spring I' am. We got snow (about 3 inches or so) this past weekend and were suppose to get more this week.

Well it's that time again, April is just around the corner and we thought that a perfect way to start the spring season off, is a spring flower signature picture theme. What a great way to show off your wedding bouquet, maybe a picture of your garden, or even a picture of your favorite flower. What ever you decide, I can't wait to see how the forum "blooms" this month. :-)
