I haven't watched it for quite sometime but I do know they let the actors who play Shawn and Belle go and the whole Dimera thing irritates me so I decided to be over it.

in mexico in April, you will be dying girl, no you don't need to wear hose.

my gift to our parents was books I made after the wedding, I still have yet to do our mothers books which are now almost a year late.

Happy Anniversary, how was your Vegas trip?

Abbie that is such great news. Congrats on getting all this together, sounds like a huge undertaking.

Good luck! oh don't do the wine train, you can't get off to taste and its really expensive. You just ride around Napa but its so much more fun to get one of the tours. We hired a bus to take our friends and family around to about 4 wineries (by the way you can't do more than about 5-6 in a day)

Solage Solage Calistoga Gaia Gaia Napa Valley – A Romantic Hotel and Spa. Napa River Inn www.napariverinn .com/ just an FYI, the Gaia is actually in American Canyon so you have to drive about 15 minutes into Napa to get to the main wineries, with traffic on the weekends in the summer it could take up to 30 minutes. Its a beautiful hotel and they even have swans in the pond. Each room has a huge bed with really comfy bedding, which we loved.

my hubby and I stayed at Couples Ocho Rios for our honeymoon and it was great, a smallish resort which was nice for the intimate feeling, great spa and the staff at Couples was awesome.

oh I think I will have to skip this one, I already have two things recording on my DVR...we shall see, maybe something else will have to give!

oh this is always hard, I have to say that for Mrs. Sarah has really gone above and beyond for the girls around here, especially for me with my beautiful monograms for my little girls room. BTB: Alyssa-she is always around even when going through all this stuff with Mabel and is so helpful to everyone. oops scratch that, I forgot she was it a few months ago...okay I have to think about this.

Jamy I have your journal actually. Your entry is already posted.

oh really, the trees are finally blooming here, I looked at my face today and I have never been so pale and white in my life, I need some sun!

oh I am so ready for spring, this is a great theme...love it!!!

okay I tried on the one with the red train at David's Bridal, my DH actually chose that one out of a catalog before our wedding, it fit beautifully, so I think if you like that style why not. I think that idea of this page is to encourage the idea of simple and classic gowns.

I don't know how I missed this converstaion, but the girls in my class know that if they walk in with something skimpy on I will pull them aside and discuss the idea of leaving "something to the imagination". I don't need the boys in my class or anyone else to be distracted away from work because their boobs are hanging out. My school does not have a dress code (which sucks about right now when spring hits because the short skirts come out in full force). As for my daughter, I think Kelly and Helen are right on track with how they raise(d) their daughters, my mom did the same thing, I was to respect myself in the way I dressed and in turn I believe I was respected by boys and other girls. Ainsleigh will have to follow the same rules, and let me tell you it starts before thongs in the 1st grade, the baby clothes I have seen in some stores are so not appropriate, I mean its a baby, dress them cute with ruffles and pink, not off the shoulder belly tops.

The hotel we had our reception at was pretty affordable and new, Gaia Napa Valley, I am pretty sure I posted a thread about it.

there are tons of B&B's in Napa, make sure you rent a car because it's a little over an hour to SF. I posted in the nor cal section about a lot of different wineries we visited during our wedding.

where are you booked at? You might find some information about what different girls are doing at different resorts (each resort is so different)

So excited to see you two doing so well so far...worrying is total normal, I have been a crazy worrier the entire time. As for morning sickness you are both around the time it starts so I hope and pray you don't get it like I did, but if you do, know there is an end to it and now I am 2/3 of the way done with this pregnancy and it's all worth it, truly. Keep us all updated on your Dr's appointments. Oh and we want ultrasound pictures please!

it says I am having a boy which is obviously wrong, since we've had it confirmed 3 times now and clearly seen her little vajayjay..hee hee.

wait I thought you girls were planning on a lunch meeting at the cheesecake factory? Shelley and I can only make it if its lunch, so if you decide dinner have fun and enjoy!
