It's really not gross to empty. I'll be happy to get rid of my small trash can with a lid that I use for tampons. And clean out the area under the sink where I kept all my feminine supplies. Too bad I recently bought a couple packs. Donate those closed boxes of tampons to a women's shelter!

I just want to again say how wonderful Ricardo is. He doesn't charge for set/up take down time. Also, I wanted certain songs played for my ceremony and was just going to do the ipod thing for that and use his speakers. Well, he volunteered that since he was there he could just do the ceremony music too - no charge. The timing was perfect on all the music.

If you search for "parasol" in the search function you should find a lot of stuff. I used them and they looked awesome!

Paper lanterns: SOLD 18 large. 12 small. All still in packaging. I'll sell all the large for $30 plus shipping. All small for $25 plus shipping. If someone wants them all they can have them all for $40 plus shipping. Glass Votives: Clear glass. I have 3 sets of 12. I can sell them only in sets of 12 bc I don't want to disrupt their packaging. $5 for each set of 12 plus shipping. White paper bags for luminaries: I have around 400. I didn't want to count them. I would prefer to sell them all to one person for $20 plus shipping. If no one wants that many I'll sell them in packs of 100 for $5 each plus shipping. White window bags: I used these for the candy bar. There are only 22 of them, so I'll throw them in if someone buys all 400 of the luminarie bags. PM me!

I am finally getting around to selling some extra wedding stuff: 1) J Crew Ava Dress in Ivory. Size 8. Never worn - tags still on. $50 plus shipping. Very light and flowy. Front Back Top Back Detail - 4 buttons 2) J Crew Vivian Dress in Ivory. Size 6. Never worn - tags still on. $50 plus shipping. Thicker satin - more traditional bridal dress material. Strapless. Front Top Back Back pleating - still sewn shut at bottom More to come...

We had 56 people. We did round tables of 8 -10. I suggest assigned seating with a group that big.

The search function is in the tool bar at the top. There is a ton of information on him on the site.

You look amazing!! Everything looks perfect!

Weird. We had 56 people but 100+ is another matter I guess. We had parts blocked off for us though. Maybe it's a new rule bc it's getting more popular as a group dinner spot?

Here are a couple of pics of Mi Casa

We had our welcome dinner at Mi Casa. It was around $50 a head for food. We did drinks by consumption which cut our costs. It was an awesome place. Everyone had SO much fun. I'll try to find some pics.

Thanks guys. We have everything scheduled - we leave tomorrow and come home Friday - funeral is on Wednesday. We are sad, but dealing. He had a good run and we are both very thankful our last memories of him are recent and happy - us sitting around the kitchen table, laughing and talking.

I had 2 BM's and DH had none - it won't look weird!

I'm bumping this bc of something we just started...eating local products. I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and decided to give a local lifestyle a chance. Most of the food we bought for meals in the last week were from the local farmer's market. The stuff we bought at the grocery - we tried to get as local as possible (stuff like olive oil is hard). For example, tonight we has pasta and pesto - all homemade and all from farmer's market products - flour, eggs, basil, nuts, etc. Also, we are limiting our meat consumption to 2 times a week - and that has to be local meat as well. We are getting ready to sign up for a local dairy that delivers - we'll have a milkman! We are going to do a CSA next season. We wanted to do it this summer, but it's kinda hard bc there are only a couple months of deliveries left in the season. Until then we are going to make do with the farmer's market.

Thanks ladies! I love how I come here first when something good/bad happens. As of right now we are in a holding pattern. Brett's mom is flying from Louisville to Cleveland today. We are waiting to hear when the funeral is so we can buy our tickets. I just want to know so we can get there already!

DH's grandpa died this morning of a brain aneurysm. SUCKS!!! We are both a wreck right now. We are trying to find tickets to fly back to Ohio but we don't know what day the funeral is going to be so we are waiting to hear from his mom. The only positive is that we did just see him on 8/3. We were at a wedding in Cleveland and took a late flight Sunday night so we could hang out with grandpa and grandma. He was fine - of course - but we got to say I love you.

I was thinking the exact same thing. So she doesn't see you as married - so? It doesn't mean you aren't. If the law considers you married you are. If your mom wants to live with the delusion that you aren't married, that's not your problem.

Here is a non-pro pic of mine.

You look so so so beautiful!! I love how that blue just pops in every pic - great color choice!

I just got all new products today at our neighborhood natural remedy store. I got: - Kiss My Face toothpaste - Lamas Beauty Soy Hydrating Shampoo - Soap from a local place called Ballard Cleansers (or something like that) - Kiss my face lotion - john masters organics sea mist (like the bumble and bumble surf spray) - Natures Gate Organics deodarant - Dr Hauschka face soap/toner/mask, etc - I just got a sample pack of this to see if I like it.
