Ana

ran 13km today

Our cats are both indoors, and never come into contact with other animals (kind of tough when they're in a condo on the 24the 24th floor) haha! But our vet actually told us that if they're indoor cats they don't need the vaccines. I have 2 cats and my mom has one and none of them get it. A friend of mine's cat had the same reaction that yours did and she stopped giving her the shots as well. I don't really think they're necessary unless they're outdoors.

I'm so glad to hear that you both had such a great experience with it. We're still doing ours, but we attend a weekly meeting (we're almost done only 2 more). We are really enjoying ours too, although some weeks are better than others. Since we attend weekly we have different presenters. In terms of the abuse I was quite surprised the Church saying for us to get out if that is how we are being treated, and I'm glad that they did. I think its a super positive step. Hopefully they can come around on some other issues, ie. "cohabitation"

Thanks sorry to hijack, but we're getting married at Dreams Los Cabos on April 1, 2009. We got the prices back in March, and 24 people have already booked. There might be a change of a day or two for departures and arrival times depending on the charters, but the prices are guaranteed.

welcome to the forum! that's really neat

it looks so beautiful! i love the white sand

Honestly I think personally I would just say forget it to even having them (a)host the party at their house and (b)give the 5k towards it. Maybe you can find a nice hall or another location to have it at, take out a 5k loan, and have the reception the way you want to have the reception. Allow them to attend as GUESTS not hosts and that should get the point across. This is your wedding, you only get one, so you should do it the way you want to. $5000 in the greater scheme of your life, as well as your pride, is not a big price to pay. You're not children who need to be taught a lesson, you're adults who were given an opportunity and a gift by them. The "gift" of helping with the AHR shouldn't come with limitations. Stand up for yourselves and don't let them do what they want. The party isn't for them, its not for their friends either, its for you and Kevin to be celebrated for coming together in marriage...and it should be done the way you want it to be done. If your FMIL wants to have a party of her own, then she can do that. I just read throught the whole thread and I'm fuming (so I can only imagine how you're feeling). I'm a pretty forward person though, and I don't really forgive easily, so obviously take my advice with a grain of salt because it might not be condusive to your personality. I just don't think that at this point anything good can come of continuing to have the party at her house. Either way she wins on this, and gets to treat you and Kevin like children. I would text her back and say "Words once spoken are hard to forget. They leave a lasting impression, and having them in black and white in emails isn't something that you can just take back with an apology". Then I would call around and see what venue would be open for the time and date that you have your guests arriving. Book it, move the vendors over, and send out a quick card to your guests informing them of the change. I think this will allow you to have the AHR of your dreams, without feeling guilty or pressured to cater to someone else's vision (namely your FMIL and FFIL), and it will show them that you're adults who can make your own decisions. Its not fair that your relationship with them is predicated on whether or not you adhere to their wishes. They should respect and understand you regardless. Maybe its them who need to be taught a lesson.

The pics are so beautiful!!

I love vitamin e for moisturizer. It helps heal and moisturize at the same time. Prevents wrinkles etc... I use this at night. For the day time try DDF skincare products they're amazing DDF Skincare I use an eye cream at night and in the morning. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize is my motto! My skin is the most important thing I wear so I make sure to invest both time and money in taking proper care of it.

everything looks so great! and you all look like you had an amazing time

Congratulations!!! you look so beautiful and everything turned out great!

awww I want to go to Banff!!! its so pretty. ps i'm terrified of heights so that hike would have sent me over the edge *literally

lol thanks guys! My game plan is to go for a 12km run tomorrow, then take thursday and friday off of running, and go for a 18km run on saturday...then a bunch of short runs next week. That should be enough I think

Went to the gym, did 40min cardio, then weights: shoulders, bi's, tri's, back, chest and abs.

I love the edges of the veil! so beautiful!

aww that's awesome! congratulations!! (totally not the same but I had customized booty shorts made with Mrs. Klizs ..the FI's last name...and also his mom's name...and when they came in I had a bit of a freak out :S)

I love your dress!

that all looks so good! I am craving candy now

yea the canal goes through Ottawa, and you can skate from downtown to the university ..its really fun. All along the way you can have hot chocolate, apple cider, beaver tails etc... (to put back all the calories you burned skating haha)

lol! creep away...that's what I do on here too yea i'm pretty sure that I'm going to wear it down too...i hardly ever wear it up sand i want to still look like myself for the wedding. Have you started to look for dresses?!

yey! Congratulations!! that's so great!!!

...I was so excited after the 10km run on the weekend that I decided to do the Vancouver 1/2 Marathon in 2 weeks! I'm exicted!!! I am running about 16km without a problem, so I'm hoping that in 2 weeks I should be able to do the 1/2 marathon too ....we'll we shall see. But a couple of co-workers are doing it with me so it should be fun!

I love #1, 12 and 9! They're so gorgeous! good pics

I just saw your dress pics! you look beautiful! for sure a necklace will be too much, but long earrings will be perfect and give you that dress up feel you want!

I agree with no necklace and long beautiful dangly earrings. Any necklace with a halter will just make the neckline seem too crowded.
