Julie what are the other threads? If you can put the links in here so when Tammy has a chance to look into it. Also she is working on the forum and apparently there is some sort of script that needs to be updated-she is working with the host company about it I believe. I wonder if your issue has something to do with it.

welcome back! Can't wait to see your photos, sorry about the rain but it sounds like you were really happy with your day anyway!

never heard that term before

oh I never noticed that, I gues that makes sense, good call Melissa

I don't think I am missing any

Happy Birthday Rebecca! I hope you have a great day (oh and happy anniversary-I know its late but I will always remember yours because its my mom and dad's anniversary too!)

pretty sure I wouldn't be caught wearing one of those. I wonder if anyone has ever really bought those dresses.

men they really cannot be left alone!

thanks again ladies, I am going to try and get an update from Robin and see if I can figure out what they might need.

I think if he wants to wear flipflops then he should go for it!

that's exactly what I would have said!

oh that's cute

I have to add to this both my dad and stepmom have vanity plates and they are kind of funny my dads says TITUP (they didn't put a space between the t and it, for Tee it up) and my stepmoms says EMPTNST (emptynest, which is totally not true because now my sister and nephew live with them, but no one can ever figure hers out) I also think California should be mentioned here

you have to go to the link to see what the first photo they posted is, I refuse to repost it...I cannot believe I live in that state. I live inside the beltway, I am protected from the rednecks...(that's what my students say) The Vainest Drivers of Them All? - AOL News The Vainest Drivers of Them All? By DENA POTTER,AP Posted: 2007-11-12 15:30:14 Filed Under: Nation News RICHMOND, Va. (Nov. 11) - URSOVAIN, Virginia. You, too, New Hampshire, Illinois, Nevada and Montana. A state-by-state survey of the popularity of vanity license plates has found that car and truck owners in Virginia are the vainest of them all. Out of the 9.3 million personalized plates on the roads of America, about one in 10 are in Virginia, according to rankings provided to The Associated Press by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. That's 16 percent of the plates issued by Virginia. New Hampshire came in second with nearly 14 percent. Illinois had about 13.4 percent, but that amounted to nearly 1.3 million plates, the most of any state. "If you've got 9.3 million people across the U.S. sporting vanity plates, you've got a cultural phenomenon," AAMVA spokesman Jason King said. Texas had the fewest, with only about a half percent of drivers personalizing their plates. Kathy Carmichael drives around with the plate COFENUT, although she is down from eight to 10 cups of java a day to just three. "It's a personality thing," said Carmichael, 58, a real state agent in Mechanicsville. "You get to know something about the person in front of you or who passes you." Stefan Lonce calls it "minimalist poetry in motion" - telling a story in eight or fewer characters. Lonce - author of the upcoming book "LCNS2ROM-License to Roam: Vanity Plates and the Stories they Tell" - worked with AAMVA to survey vehicle licensing agencies in each state. "I think a lot of people have stories to tell and they really want pieces of those stories out there," said Lonce, who admits he initially thought it was silly for people to spend extra money to personalize their license plates. Ion Bogdan Vasi, an assistant sociology professor at Columbia University, calls people who personalize their plates "the narcissistic-materialist poets of the iGeneration." "Most people buy personalized plates simply because they want to tell the world they are special," Vasi said in an e-mail. "They wrote an ode to themselves and they want to share it with everybody on the highway." Some plates are cryptic, like Brittany Diaz' EN PWANT. It's a reminder of the summer when she studied ballet in New York and her French teacher pronounced the "en pointe" style of dance as "en pwant." "Most ballerinas get it, and those who don't dance I figured would be entertained because pwant is just a funny thing to say," said Diaz, 17, of Midlothian. Others are personal, like those of Ally and Rudy Masry of Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. She donated a kidney to her husband in 2003, so her car has the tag DONOR and his reads DONEE. Some offer quirky takes on professions, like EYEMAN and 2THDR. BYTE1 reflects the computer science degree held by Vonn Campbell of Greenville, S.C., but he also chose it "to provide a somewhat abrasive message to those individuals who follow too closely." But why does Virginia have so many personalized plates? "It's only $10. You can do it online with little effort. You can get a new one every month if you wanted to," said Benjamin Mace, a Virginia Beach Web designer who started CoolPl8z.com, where people post pictures of their vanity plates. However, some other states are just as cheap. And Illinois has the largest total even though it charges $78 per year. Copyright 2007 The Associated Press.

I did pearl necklaces for my BM's. I would say if you do the spa day, try to see if there is anyway to do it all together, that would be so much fun. That was one thing I didn't have time for but we had planned on doing it and I feel like I would have really liked to have done that.

Erica, that is very exciting! I am sure everyone will love them. Take some pics and post them when you get a chance.

oh she is beautiful and what a pretty name.

it all looks amazing, have a blast and enjoy yourselves!

gosh I hope so, its crazy right now. We are struggling to go home to visit family because its so incredibly expensive right now.
