I put a thin, cotton matress protector on top of the foam & it took care of the heat problem. I guess that was enough of a barrier to keep the foam from absorbing body heat. I'm sleeping so good!

Were they expensive and what sizes did you order? Sorry for all of the questions. Print Prices & Products - Order digital photo prints online from professional imaging lab, Mpix.com I ordered an 8x10 & four 5x7s to display at our AHR. I just wanted to see how it looked before I placed another order. They are beautiful! Shipping is a flat fee of $5. But, different photo finishes get split up into different shipments. So you'd end up paying shipping again. They arrived in 2 days. I will be ordering more. I just haven't decided which pictures I'm going to hang up. pick "do not color correct" when you are checking out. Your photographer already did that.

oh no, you LC Racheled me!

I just got my metallic prints from mpix.com. they are beautiful!!!

what about belize or costa rica?

I still really miss part of it (can you tell?), but I'm so much happier out of school, that I'm sure I made the right decision for me right now. I'm fortunate to not have that kind of pressure. It would make it much harder to stick it out feeling like I have to. I think if you are happier now you made the right choice. I've watched some students turn into this bitter, miserable person. I don't think anything is worth that. life's too short.

Hey kristy, this will add fuel to your crush on rachel. the fun starts on page 2. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t18361

I brought 2 pairs of flipflops, but they both at a strap across the top. I walked to much that I got a big welt on the top of my foot. Luckily mike's sisters gave me a pair without a strap as a gift. His two sisters, mom & I all had J crew flip flops with various drinks on them.

You gave me my first BDW gift & loaned me your TTD! You rock!

It's here & I love it already. i don't have my lens yet, but I'm just holding it. the one I test lifted in the store much have had a heavy lens on it, because this thing is really light. my lens was shiped via UPS to my town & now it's being put in the USPS system. I hope that means I'll have it by Friday. I have class on Saturday!!!

I wish I had nail polish remover. I kept painting over mine to touch it up & by the end of the week it was so thick that it was annoying me. I also wish i remembered an invite & STD for the photograph of all of my wedding stuff.

I’m home now so I can add a few more. This is from our TTD in the cenote: This kid was washing a car at the cenote & we gave him a dollar to clean us off.

since kelly isn't on often, I'll post hers. this thread isn't complete without them.

yay more pics. i can't wait until i'm home so I can look at them without the fear of a coworker asking what I'm up too. I love the one of the 4 of you on the bed! I'm so glad ana kept her dress on for some because it's gorgeous. I love the flowing piece from the top. I just realized the other day I never posted the car wash picture. I will do that soon.

I have puffy cheeks in so many. finally we learned that I couldn't take a breath before I went under. I just had to pop under & swish around. it's so hard. If I don't move enough my hair would look weird. It was so shallow & my dress was full of air so I kept floating up. Plus I could kick up sand. I wish we had an hour just for this, because they turned out so cool with what limited time we had. i want to do it again! I know we could get the perfect picture with more time & the experience.

sarah, those are the first TTD pics I ever saw. I was in complete shock & never imagined I'd be in the ocean in the dress doing the same. I think everytime we see some crazy, creative pictures we get more & more bold & willing do something different. Can you imagine how wild the 2009 weddings will be?

you tease!

for your drolling pleasure The inlaws were farther down the beach. far enough. but then they saw a turtle laying eggs so they started walking towards us. i had my leg wrapped around mike standing on sharp rocks & we just kept saying, OK we'll see you later. 2 of my friends & some other people sitting on the beach had been watching it all.
