lol Morgan you crack me up... I think Carly was planning to do her own. But, just as a little FYI Carly, Morgan designs books too

So Ann, if I was going to post that you're my crush, and you already posted that I'm your crush, does that mean we have to start dating? lol Wiat...you've already seen me naked (Ann & I did BD pics together with Leigh Miller and a couple other girls back in the day- not nearly as scandalous as it sounds), so I bet we already have a wayyyy deeper relationship than these other high school crushes...j/k But seriously, I admire your strength and incredible calm. I've never seen someone be so chill about absolutely everything- I aspire to be more that way. I've seen you handle some large life BS more than a couple times in the last year and you amaze me. I have honestly thought to myself before "what would Ann do" (maybe I need a WWAD bracelet?) when I was totally freaking about something not worth freaking about. And, you're supermod So, cheers to the hemorrhoid club (hey now, I'm not there yet and maybe you're not either!), or the mommies group, or the old school girls- whatever we are. I'm so lucky to have met you on here and consider you a great friend. And there are about 15 other girls that I could write paragraphs about, but I'm going to follow the rules and stick with one. Well, maybe I have to say that Tammy (host) gives you a run for your money, but she's just the best and that goes without saying

Carly, they're called flush-mount albums. I have done extensive research on different album companies, and so far this is the only one I've found where brides can actually order them: Welcome to The Wedding Experts - BridesIncorporated.com. The books aren't as high-end as others I've seen, but for all the other companies you either have to be a photographer or designer to be able to order.

OK, let me preface this by saying I'm not a huge Batman fan, and I also go see probably 50% of what comes out in the theater and rent everything else later- I watch a TON of movies. So, I honestly didn't go into this with high hopes because I'm always disappointed by movies that are surrounded with tons of hype. Well... This movie was freaking amazing. I absolutely loved it. Definitely the best movie this year, if not the best movie in the last couple years- although "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country" probably give it a run for it's money.... I absolutely LOVE dark movies and this movie was all that and a bag of chips Heath was brilliant as the Joker, and Christian Bale was, well, he was yummy Christian Bale- I'll stop now before I get in trouble! lol I thought the plot was fantastic with lots of twists and incredible acting. The only person who didn't wow me was Maggie Gyllenhaal, but I liked her as Dawes better than Katie Holmes. If you like action, if you like movies a little on the darker side- go see this movie. I waited 4 days to be able to see it in IMAX- and if you have the opportunity to go that route, by all means do it!

That sounds delish!

Wow Amy. I have been in love with your color scheme from day 1 and it did not disappoint...absolutely breathtaking! You looked amazing

Welcome Jill! Congratulations on your engagement. This forum is a great resource, but since you're friends with Ann you've also got a neverending supply of first hand information at your disposal- lucky girl! Happy planning

Those are great Abbie!

If i'm not mistaken, I was one of the first people to do it on here... and I thought mine were hot (at the time). Well, since then we've seen so many great, bold & exciting shots. I love this trend- even if it moves beyond TTD... I just think creative and sexy couples photography surrounding the wedding is awesome. You're right-next year's will be insane! lol

So, mine can't hold a candle to Ana's but they're MY sexiest pics...lol I've always thought that second one was cool because it looks like someone was spying on us. Which is true- Juan just told Jeff & I to "go at it" and he snapped some pics...from behind the rocks.

That is so funny. I love Boxers- they have such personality. I've had two. Bailey is a cutiepie

Click on the canvas background. See the box that pops up? Notice that if you hover over the square over the top it highlights either "Image", "Border", or "Shadow". To change the canvas background click on "image" then under "background fill" you can type in the RGB codes for the color you want, or click on the little white square (white is always the default) and it brings up a color bar. Let me know if that doesn't work.

How exciting Erin! Fingers crossed for you

Great site Jen, and omg, I've never seen your wedding slideshow! I totally missed when that got posted apparently- your pictures turned out amazing. Wow...love them all

Wow Erin! You look incredible- they're all gorgeous, but that close up of you on the hammock is unbelievable. I LOVE them!

Congratulations Maura You and Jose look so happy! Welcome to the old married ladies' club!

Wow Ann, that's just so crazy! I can't believe she's that old already- how life can change so quickly... she's beautiful

Aww Susan, she's just perfect! What a beautiful girl. I'm so happy for you and Matt. Is she a little daddy's girl already? Congratulations

Congratulations Abbie! Can't wait to hear all about it

I am RN, here's my take... There are definitely some "urban legends" about organ donation and the darker side of organ harvesting. I remember my mom reading a book about it when I was a teenager and freaking me out- basically saying the same stuff that your nutritionist is telling you. Here's the thing: if someone's life is in jeopardy, medical professionals are obligated to try to save their life until the very end- exhaustive measures are taken. People are often coded for close to an hour or so after they are technically "dead". No one is looking to see if they're an organ donor, and even IF they are- that doesn't give anyone a reason to stop trying to revive a person. Now, on the flip side of that, there are such things as DNR orders and instances where people would have very little medical intervention or life-saving measures taken. These are VOLUNTARY and people make those decisions long before they're in a situation which requires life or death decision-making. I personally do not every want to be on life support and do not want extensive measures taken to prolong my life. I love living, but I am also not scared to die. My family thinks I'm very selfish to have taken this stance, but it's my personal decision. I will donate my organs, and all of my body to science- I want my body to go to a university where it can be studied and used for educational purposes. Why not? When I'm dead I'm dead, and I sure don't care. So if perhaps I were to get in a horrible car accident tomorrow, and be on life support my husband has the paperwork to have that discontinued. Now, on the outside, if someone didn't know my situation, they might think that not everything was being done so that they could harvest my organs (btw- it's best if the person isn't completely dead when organ harvesting begins- only "brain dead" - they can use soooo much more that way); when actually everything has been done just as I've requested and my final wishes are being carried out. I think people just love conspiracy theories, and this is one of them.

I have a personal blog that I started to keep family/friends updated when my DH had surgery last December. I kept up with it for like a month, but have sadly not updated for a looonnng time. I just don't have time right now! That's my project for later this summer- to blog everything that's new Sproullie! The life of Jeff & Sarah...
