LCBride2007

i love that 2nd one ... just cuz I love that sepia tone (is that what it is?) you really could do this professionally (i guess you kind of are! lol)

i just popped in to check these out (where the heck was i!?), and haven't looked at all of them yet, or read anything else ... but must say, they are gorgeous! and sexy! and i absolutely love your hair.

this is totally something i'd do! you have to post one here!

omg - OUCH! i cringe thinking how painful that must be. so glad you're ok though!

it actually does say this contest runs through the end of August!

yay!! be sure to come back w/pics. and have fun!!

wow - someone needs all the attention! i'd just go about planning your wedding w/a smile on your face!

We all want to say THANK YOU for being such an asset to this forum. You help make this a great resource for current and future brides & grooms!

pretty sure they were started somewhere in MN, and their HQs are here. and my BF goes to them all of the time (the students) and loves it!

it could be the style you have set. if you look in the bottom left corner of your screen - what do you have there? i have 'girlTalk' and i see all of the moods. just an idea, i know some of the forum features act differently depending on what you select here.

i've already warned Paul! lol

**What did you do today?** _____________________________________ A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding Into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?" She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?" "Yes," was his incredulous reply. She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

Ok, I really couldn't come up with many ideas for the letters in my name ... and names don't get much shorter!

LOVE that story!

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 Awww - this made me smile, and laugh! Thanks, hon! I've made that "Sarah has seen me naked" comment a few times on here w/o explaning the story behind it, so good work on remembering to add the details. As for the rest of the crew - I did start to write about a few other girls, but was afraid of leaving someone out! I mean, there's TammyB, my BDW sister - it's amazing how many similarities her and I have, this list is endless! And Tammy (host) has been such a great friend since I joined this forum, and still today. Glenda, Christine, Alyssa, etc. ... you all were a huge reason I made it through the last few months of my life. And I always look forward to logging on here and seeing what you're up to! See, now I have to run (Gwen is calling!), and I didn't finish talking about my crushes. THis is just becoming a big ol' BDW Love Fest!

I've seen a bunch of other links from other people...but wanted to get Ann's. I remembered her flowers being really simple and beautiful. Any ideas?!!!! (You'll be hearing from me more often now that plans are on the way!!!!) Thanks! -Heather I just saw this, sorry for the delay! I can't remember where I got it, but let me hunt for a sec.... ok, here's the thread, and the actual site! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t3879 Hair Flower Boutique: Hair Flowers - Silk Flower Hair Clips By Late Bloomer Studio

I want to play! I am going to stick by the rules, as hard as it is ... but I have a crush on Sarah! I think we're a lot alike in a few ways, and I just always love reading what she has to say. Plus, she was a great friend to me when I was going through one of the scariest times of my life (having Gwen early, away from home). But I'd also have to say I have a special place in my heart for all of the "old school" gals (a.k.a. The gals that have already celebrated their 1 year anniversary and just wont go away!).

P.S. I am updating the first post in this thread with the "final" list of participants, and the jackpot amount. There is one person that I have on my list that I think still wants to play, but I haven't received a payment. So the jackpot might go up my an additional $15.
