Yvette

i got to meet jason newsted a couple of times. weird story, i have a good friend who was and is obsessed with him. so i was taking a break from college, years ago, and she mentioned there was a concert happening in CA and she wanted to go. (one of his many sideprojects, called echobrain) so it was spring break for her and we decide to go see this band. she was a part of their street team so she got us into the meet and greet after the show. so we got to meet him and wanted to take some pics but he kindly declined due to the flash hurting his eyes. we were bummed but still glad we got to talk with him. so we started talking with the others who got to stick around after the show and mentioned we were from chicago and came out to see them play. well word got back to jason about our journey to come see him and later that night he approched us ready to take pictures. how sweet is he! we got to talk with the band and get signatures when they did a show in wi. but it was amazing when we got to hang out with them a second time when they made their way to chicago. so that is my long odd story about jason newsted.

these are so great!

i've only been to 1. mexico 2. canada 3. us-fl, wi, mn, ca, tx, mi, & pa i think that is about it. i need to travel more! but with the wedding coming up i will be in the virgin islands and puerto rico! yay!!!!

Do we give his mom a gift (his dad isnt going cuz he claims he cant afford it even though he just bought a new ford mustand convertible and had custom paint job done to his motorcycle, etc but thats ane entirely different post). I plan on giving my folks something so does that mean I have give his mom and/or dad something too? this is a good point! my dad has been the same way, saying he will help us out but come on now we are 5 months out and i still have not seen a dime. he even talks to my mom saying he'll give me "x" amount next time he sees me and when i see him he doesn't even mention it! then there is my mom who is as helpfull as can be. she put down the deposit for my dress and is willing to help pay for the wedding. i don't think that is very fair. so far we are doing pretty good and have enough saved up. but i guess the question is do i get my dad a gift? would i be a total jerk head if i didn't?

i was thinking of getting them a digital pic frame with a variety of pictures from our trip. only thing that sucks about that is my parents are divorced so i would have to buy and upload to three seperate frames. boring!

But I think i'm going to make him a little beach bag with beach toys like buckets, shovels, and sand castle molds, a bathing suit, sunblock, and beach sweat jacket i got from old navy. i did the same thing for my flower girl. (she's 5) i got a sand bucket, a coloring book, crayons, a small puzzle and some other misc things to go into the bucket. i will be giving it to her before we leave so she can keep busy on the flight.

very nice, you look great in it!

our items in the oot bags are unisex. well, they are more of a welcome bag. we bought personalized koozies and chapsticks along with small bottles of lotions to go inside. but i think you can do whatever you want.

before we went to a bridal show my friend asked us with hoodies. there was a card that said "will you be my..." then when we opened our bag there was a hoodie inside each airbrushed with BM, MOH, she even made some for the parents, MOther of the Bride and Groom. It was cute. We all wore them out to the show. She even made one for herself.
