Luckily today I had to go to the bank, so it was close by. I guess its better that its so much trouble so I won't go everyday, but seriously, this was just the start I needed for my last day at work! OMG!!!! Last day at work, I never realised it till you said it. That is so amazing. OMG I am so excited for you. My stomach did little flips of joy when I read "my last day at work".

Congratulations Susan!! I know its going to be an amazing day. I can't wait to hear all about it.

Natlie I hope you have an amazing wedding and everything go perfectly. Congratulations!!!

I am in, but I don't really have the time to send a PM with all my wants and stuff, too much going on right now, but I want to get in before the deadline, so count me in. Also, if you need any help Drea, I am here for you, when I get back from the wedding of course. lol

I want you everyday, but I think FI will kill me! I am with you on this one Jill, I hate to love it, but I love Starbucks and it also makes my day. And I must tell you before I moved to the city I live in now, I did have one everyday. Here the starbucks is too far away from my home and work, thank God.

I understand that it is a lot of money, however, I want to have some nice professional pictures, not just the drunk crooked ones that your friends take. And yes, I will look at our wedding album many times after the wedding, it will not just sit and collect dust, and so what if it does, I can still open it anytime I'm mad at you and relive a happy day! So no, I don't care what you say, we're not cancelling the photographer! p.s. if you weren't happy with the price of the photographer, then we should have discussed this prior, not a week before our wedding!! You didn't want to give any input when you had the chance, so now you get none! Stand your ground on this one Jill, great pictures are the only part you will have for the rest of your lives, they are very very important.

Dear Members of BDW: Thank you all so much for giving me the ability to talk to people who are not directly affected by the same tragedy as I am. I can't talk to them because they are going through it as well (I am the rock for them), but you all give me an outlet and make me feel so much better about things and you have no idea how much I cherish your kind words and your support. I love you all and I can't imagine what life would be like without you.

Dear Time: I wish I could put you on hold for just another week, I have 10 days in which to do 2 months worth of things, can you please be kind and go by fast while I am at work and really slow while I am at home. Thank you. Dear BIL: Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of your death and it was tough, really tough. I am sorry I did not get to the cemetary, but Jennie did not want to go because she does not believe you are there and I could not leave her side to go on my own. You know I thought about you all day and I think we had a moment in the morning while I was drinking my coffee. I am not sure if you kept Ava from sleeping on the 1 year anniversary of the night you died, but it was kinda crazy that she kept waking up crying and saying "its okay mommy" so that my sister had to bring her into bed with her. It was a good place for Ava to be though, with my sister. I hope you know how much we all love and miss you. None of us can beleive its been a year, I swear it was just last week we were dancing at your wedding. I will keep those fond memories of you with me always and will have lots of great stories to tell your daughters one day. Dear Boss: I hate this job and am doing my best to get any work done when all I can think about is my wedding so please get off my ass and let me do the things I have in front of me instead of hounding me. Also, I need next Friday off, so when I ask please be nice and say yes. Dear FH: Thank you for cleaning the basement last night to get ready for your stag this weekend, but you need to get to the other things on the list I gave you to do because we have more things to do next week. I wish you had any idea how much we have to do in how little time. Why do men not get this?

Sorry I am a day late Mel, but I wanted to still let you know that I thought about you yesterday and I hope you had the most amazing wedding day ever. I miss you and can't wait to hear from you.

Well I am so glad I made FH go through this thread with me. Turns out he hated most of the ones I loved. So, I made him pic ones he liked and apparently he likes the really tidy and together up do's and I was going for messy beachy (he hates those). He also does not like ones that are "too high". lol So, now I have more of an idea of what he likes. Thank God I asked him.

I have not got the crunches in yet, busy day. But I did go to the gym and do cardio and weights. I will get the abs in, I just need to get off here.

With only 6 months left they really need to get on top of getting a dress. So, I think you should pick a few dresses that you like and tell them to choose from those dresses. Or, go shopping with them and make them try dresses on and make them pick what they like. Can you all go shopping together?

Okay, I am so confused. lol Figure out the details and I will decide. I am sure I will be in though, but I will wait till we have it all worked out.

If you have questions about how to handle this please feel free to PM a mod. Christine makes a good point and I never really thought about that. I guess its best if I stay out of this, just because you never really know.

I am also in and I volunteer to help as well. Drea I can be your assistant

Those pics are so cool and it looks like soo much fun. I would love to do that at our wedding. Oh well, we can't have it all Good job Leigh.

I just found this site and thought I would share. I am pretty sure its not on here somewhere already. Wedding Hair Styles | Hair Ideas | Hair Pictures | Hair Style Galleries

This is not about a website, at least I don't think they have one, but if you have an Xcess Cargo anywhere near you, they have disposable camera's on sale right now for $1.99 each. I bought a bunch on the weekend. They even have a flash and take 35 pics. That is the cheapest I have ever seen them.

I am so jealous that all you ladies live so close. When I get back from my wedding I am setting up a meeting with some of you ladies who are not to far away because we need to meet up as well See, I am jealous. lol Looks like so much fun and thanks for sharing the pictures. Heidi, I love the smile on your face, it makes me happy to know that you had a good time. That means you need to keep the margarita's flowing!!!

Thanks guys I am pretty happy with them. I will do a post of all my stuff soon, so you can see what they look like with stuff in them.

I am bringing ribbon with me. I do not want to chance that they do not have the colour I want or the style I want, I am not picky but I want it to look nice. So, I am not taking any changes.

I have not read anyone else's posts yet, but I must tell you that I wish we had it at least every other day. But, he is tired and complains about his commute (which is crappy and long, 3 hours a day), so we only have it once a week. Well, I would say its about 4 times a month, sometimes twice in one week, sometimes not at all in one week, so I am going to say 4 times a month. I really wish it was more often. In the beginning it was at least twice a day and about 4 times a day on the weekend. That lasted for the first year, then we went down to about once a day, then everyother day, now only once a week. I am a little scared of what the future has in store for us, at this rate, we will never have it. lol We are probably going to be TTC in November, so it will have to happen more then. Although he keeps telling me it will happen the first time we try. I think he thinks he is some kinda super hero or something.

That is good to hear Leigh. Now go enjoy that beautiful weather. All the best for tomorrow.
