Ahhhh! I'm so glad I read this thread early on, I think I might make myself sick if it was more than one page long so far. Just reading how close and how busy all you 2 month-ers are has made my tummy in a knot

OMFreakin'G! I was cracking up for some reason over "Squirrel Scouts". We did this with our chi one time when he was a puppy, we called him our little babushka!

BTW--thanks for the new addiction! I was laughing so hard I had tears when I was looking at the cat pics. The dogs ones didn't get me the same way but for some reason I was ROTFLMAO like some of those pics say

I loved Jasons siggy pic so bad I saved it and emailed it to Doug! I had no idea where it came from and I'm so glad to know now. Thanks!

PS that was too funny about the missing arms and what not We get the idea, thats what counts!

Oh I really like the orabge, it just pops against the ocean! The pics would turn out rad.

OOH good idea, the San Juan Islands are sooo beautiful, also not far from Vancouver if they want some city life, or Victoria for some old world charm. Also August up here in Seattle is like the epitome of good weather, my birthday is the 15th and as long as I can remember I've had sun on my birthday week.

OMG Morgan those are turning out great! I actually love that the lighting isn't perfect, the fakeness of it makes it so fun. And I love how some of the faces are wrong, I wonder if you left 1 or 2 if your girlfriends would figure it out or think it was some other friend of yours? Funny!

I actually had a weird one last night, but I know why (for once!) I've been really worried lately that my ring is gonna slip off my finger because I've lost some weight since we got it. It's no where close to falling off accidentally, but whenever I wash my hands I'm afraid with the water/soap combo it will just jump off and down the drain. So anyways, last night I dreamed that I was in Disneyland in a pool? WTF, I think it was a ride or something. For some reason it was like a lazy river, and around the corner it turned into this impossible staircase you have to step down without being able to see the steps below, almost like they are tucked underneath, the opposite direction you are trying to step? With no railing. I remember this part freaked me out more than the main part. So as I'm in the top part of the pool, I was hanging on the edge and I set my drink down, and this guy runs up and says, "There goes your dog!" and points toward the impossible staircase. I pulled off my ring and put it in my drink cup so it wouldn't fall off when I ran after the dog. I see my dog up ahead, only it's this fluffy white thing instead of my little chi, Frank, and I go running after him. In the pool. Whatever. He jumps over the edge of the impossible staircase and I have to go after him. I don't know what happened with that because fast-forward to the next morning (in the dream) and all of a sudden I'm in my house (except it's my Grama's old house from like 10 years ago) and I realize I don't have my ring on! I start freaking out and trying to remember where it is and what is Doug going to think when I see this red party-cup on the counter mixed in with the dishes. I go over to it and reach in and my ring is at the bottom, it was in a cup of beer! I had no idea how the cup with my ring in it got from Disneyland to my Grama's house cause that part of the dream didn't exist! I can't wait for the real nightmares to begin

Yari that sucks doesn't it? I've had those weird ones where you wake up a little in a panic and you can actually go back to sleep to make sure it finishes OK. How in the world does that work? Weird!

I'll be done! 3 weeks is a good amount to start with, maybe if we find we collectively need less or more time, we can make a poll and vote for the next ones, esp. if the book is a lot longer or shorter.

Haha, no I don't think its just you, I've read lots of threads in the Vent area with other gals saying the exact same thing. Hang in there and just remember that it's your wedding, and everyone else can just screw off if they don't like it. What matters is that you and your man are in love and getting married and you are going to have an amazing vacation. Even if some people can't/don't go who you would really like to be there, just know that the most important part is you and him.

haha, thanks

OMG Christa, is Annie a Chi? We should totally go on a doggie-date with my Chi's and Kate's Boy and Girl dogs. There is supposed to be a dog park up near Northgate but I forget what the name is. Annie is sooo cute! And the house looks great!

That sucks Heidi. We're gonna be in the same position after the wedding, well as far as searching goes anyways. Luckily we're already living in sin, but we've just really outgrown our 2B/1B house, with us, 2 kids, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 worthless fish. Just not enough space! Good luck to you guys, and like Alesha says it was all in line to make sure you get a better house than the one you saw!

Love the planning threads! You've done a great job so far! Keep us 'posted' whenever you add more!

WooHoo! Way to go!

Here are the unconventional bridesmaids in their dress trial.
