Christine

What style are you in? The chineta style doesn't show all the extras. Try to switch to girl talk.

I bet you look beautiful, I hated myself in the snapshot photos of my dress too (by the way I had three dresses also). The first dress my mom convinced me it was the right one, but it was too simple for me, so I went the total opposite and got something too fancy, so my dress I wore I finally settled on something that I loved. Its okay to change your mind, but if you liked it to begin with think about what you looked like in the mirror not in the photos.

thanks for that Abbie, my parents just flew Alaska out here actually, I didn't realize that is who you worked for..the transfered in Seattle, wouldn't that have been weird if you had helped them out.

I have to say the way your smiling in #2 says it all...you should go with that dress it looks awesome on you.

yes it did, you made it multiple answer (which means someone could pick all three) you want to make something like this a choose only one option thing. Sorry I am not explaining that very well.

not sure if you saw Ann's response to your previous thread http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t18411

one of the girls at work had it and she just monitored and ate healthy. I am so sorry you have to deal with it, I just had my test last week and I was so nervous, but mine was within normal levels.

glad to hear her move went well.

congratulations Jen! I know your wedding will be beautiful, can't wait to see pictures.

Glenda I heart you! Very well said.

Happy Birthday!

I had the same issue, and I just added a two cent stamp and it wasn't the prettiest but o'well. Do they have one cent stamps?

happy birthday!

what is wrong with people, why would you get a dog if you don't like dogs and if you aren't prepared to teach a puppy right from wrong-seriously!

Kate you have to call him DH now...you are a married lady now.

Have a beautiful wedding!

Drea, when will you start school? At least with Nursing you won't have to worry about recessions.

Thanks Jamy, Toby and Tess will thank you also. I usually give them a good rub when we trim their nails and give them baths, which they got this weekend.

I just read the article and read through the info on their website, that is so crazy. I feel so bad for people who are losing money on this. I have some friends who are Hawaiian but live in Orange County and Reno they used Aloha all the time to fly between OC, Reno and the Big Island.

Jamy you know your fine Govenator used to drive around town in his huge hummer (when I was in Santa Monica). I wonder if he is cutting back since the state has to cut back?

great topic, I am a teacher so we are only getting a 1% COLA this next year (instead of the 3-4% we should be getting). But I don't want to complain because a few districts aren't giving anything. DH works for a non-profit, I don't see his salary going up this year but I don't think he will lose his job or anything. I was just talking to a friend who teaches in LA and she was the last hired in her school so she will most likely be let go because of the budget cuts, so her TTC has been put on hold because of it, which is a bummer. We only have one car, DH takes the metro, but the metro rates have gone up quite a bit lately, even still we save a lot of money by not having two cars. One of our neighbors has a hummer too and honestly they are such stupid cars...we too have an SUV, but its a small SUV, with two dogs, a child on the way and living in an area that gets pretty good ice storms I won't drive anything that doesn't handle well in weather, it also rains a ton here and my car has traction control. The home prices have not really dropped that much in Northern VA, but they are starting to a little, there are so many homes for sale. We are hoping to buy sometime in the next year-but I don't want to overbuy and wind up like so many people who are upsidedown in their homes.

oh Maureen I am so excited for you, I know you have been trying and this is such great news! You better sign on more often and give us updates...

Alyssa if that had happened and it was your airline I think I might have died for you...I mean nothing else can possibly go wrong with Hawaii for you...

I got most of my stuff at Vickies and Fredericks, but I got my wedding night attire at nordies, it was Vera Wang (I figured I couldn't afford a designer wedding dress so I might as well have something designer for the wedding day)

Heidi, have a fantastic beautiful wedding. We will miss you while you are gone!
