Very cute!!! Your guests will be so excited!

Oh Sarah!!! I'm so glad to hear that your sister is okay. And I'm even happier to hear that YOU'RE okay!! I'm so sorry that all of this stuff is happening at the same time. Hang in there, the worst must surely be over. Big, big hugs!!!

Well, Morgan, it seems to me that people don't own ferrets. Ferrets have people. And in that sense, Nibblets definitely has you.

OMG!!! What a little piece of s**t!!! Seriously? Asked for the gifts back? I'll bet you a nice sum of money that the not-so-ex-wife made him do it. And was probably on the phone when he called her, too.

New York is different than a lot of places. Your agent will come back to you with the counter offer or the acceptance of your offer. Then the seller's attorney will draft a contract of sale and will need to send it to your lawyer. You will need a lawyer. If you don't have one, I can refer you to ours who is fabulous - send me a PM and I'll forward you the info. Before the contract is finalized you will need to get an engineers inspection - get some recommendations - there are a ton of mediocre engineers out there, and particularly given the age of the house, you want a GOOD engineer. The contract will state the terms of sale, including any contingencies, etc. Once the contract is fully executed (signed by both parties), you basically will have to wait for the bank to approve your loan, and youre done. Congrats!!! It's very exciting! and the house is adorable!

***UPDATE*** It's official - we're in contract and in about 30 days, assuming no other hiccups, it's ours!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!

As it turns out... we are officially in contract on the house TODAY So, in about a month's time, assuming all goes as planned, we will be homeowners and can CERTAINLY offer up a storage space (or the basement) as the official clubhouse. Of course, it won't be a secret location after I have a great big ol' BDW party there. And I LOOOOOOVE my badge. I post it with pride. Ferret power!

Whenever, wherever!! I'm up for it all!

Not for this girl! The LAST thing I want to think about is keeping track of a handbag. FI (or by then DH) will have the room key. And someone else will have some powder, lipstick and mascara.

Carly - Everything looks amazing!!! you are such a DIY queen!!!

Morgan - have you told the new members the location of the secret club house? Or are we still waiting for the initiation ceremony before we do that? Club Ferret Kicks Tushie!

Congratulations!!! Have an amazing time in China. Stop by to say hello every now and again!

I think I'd ask for a basic RSVP on the response card, and then put meal choices and other on the website. Too much data on the response card could get messy looking. And you know you're only going to get 40% of them back anyway.

I think yesterday must have been a slow news day. This was actually a story on the NBC local news in Chicago last night. Whodathunk?

We've all dealt with it - where's the wedding... who do I call... can I bring my neighbor's cousin's mother-in-law... FI and I were REALLY up front about it. We found that the phrases "intimate wedding" and "immediate family and a few close friends" were key to getting our message across. Don't get pressured into increasing your guest list, and don't let people assume that just because it's an all inclusive resort that you aren't paying for things. Feel free to let it slip to a few key people that the cost of the reception is going to be $XX per person - and add the phrase "it's quite a bit more than we anticipated, but we want it to be special". People will figure it out. Good luck!!!

Hi Amy!!! I'm sorry you're feeling unhappy with your mom. She's probably trying to encourage you to have a dream wedding, but her definition of a dream wedding and yours are clearly not the same thing. Don't worry about it. I'm sure she'll move on and find some other thing to get involved in. If she brings it up again, just tell her it's not the vision you have, and while you appreciate what she's trying to do, you're happy with it the way it is. It will work itself out. Don't worry!!

Wow Carly!!!! Those turned out so beautifully. Your girls will be so excited to get them. Be PROUD!!!!

Carlos was perfection and his timing was spot on. He kept the party going and the dance floor was never empty. He worked with us on lighting needs and even got us our explosions. He also surprised us with tons of balloons to get the party started. We were worry-free music wise. Our guests loved him, too! HIGHLY recommend." http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t20293 Oh Antonia!!! I am soooooo excited to hear that you thought he was GREAT!!! Woohoo!!! I was a little concerned that no one had stepped up saying he'd done their wedding, because i've been really impressed with him thus far, but it's great to hear from you!!!

Tami you made a GORGEOUS bride!!!! Congratulations! I love the photo of you in the hammock!!

Your FI is such a sweetie! And I'm sorry your brother is being such a pain.

I like the color combo. It will look great on the beach!

I usually send my mom a rosebush from Jackson and Perkins. They last longer than cut roses and she loves her garden.

Hee.... one shoe... that is so frickin funny!!!!! Ah, I love people!

Oh Amy!!! First of all, smack him a little bit for me. And second, a little ditty from me to you: Happy birthday to you Your sweetie's a poo! He'll figure it out soon, but for now we yell boo! Okay... that was pretty bad. Sorry I couldn't come up with anything better on the fly. Have a happy, happy birthday!!!

Holy Moley Erica!!!! You look absolutely stunning!!!! Congrats on a fantastic dress!
