Welcome back Bumbles! Can't wait to hear all about it and of course, see pictures.

Hey girls, I would agree with Becks and Missy on their timelines. I think that alot of us had people who booked really late. I had 3 book 6 days before we were leaving! But, you'll have a pretty good idea of who's coming and who's not a few months out. Yamille~ just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you on your day! And, I'm kicking myself for not being in front of the computer when you messaged. I want details! lol

I hope you have a fabulous day and everything is working out at PRC for you! Can't wait to hear all about it and see your pictures. Happy Wedding Day!

Casey, I missed this post! I hope you had a wonderful day!

I managed 50 crunches and 41 push-ups (the regular ones, not girly ones). So, I was 9 short of my own goal of 50 and 50. No way could I do 100! I'm on a 2 day fast and I am sooooo hungry. I'm also thinking that I picked the wrong two days to do it because I know I am going to eat this weekend and what's the point of fasting if I'm going to eat crap after. Idk what to do~ if I should give in and just eat something or hold out til after tomorrow. Ugh, I'm hungry. lol

Congrats everyone for stickin with it... As for today's goal~Wow, 100 push ups and crunches in one day... too much for me to try. So, my own personal goal will be 50 of each. I kinda of drank all water yesterday. I had a meal replacement shake (made with water). So, I drank it, but it counts as food. lol Otherwise, only water. Ha, is drank a word? It looks funny...

totally off the subject~ MarieSam your siggy picture is fabulous!

I'm in on the water goal for tomorrow. This is something I struggle with too.

Happy Wedding Day!

Happy wedding day Bumbles! Yamille, you must be so excited to leave tomorrow! I hope you have a fabulous time.

Hey Steph, so I emailed my friend and he isn't licensed to do anything in Iowa. Sorry. Have you thought about seeing if your lender would approve you for a short sale? Its where the lender agrees to take less than what you owe for your property. Of course, that means you would have to sell and its a long process to get approved for a short sale. If its something you're interested in I would suggest finding a real estate agent who has a lot of experience with them. Sorry I couldn't be any help. Good luck! Are the company who services your loan and the company who holds the lien two different ones? Just curious because you said the company you contacted can't refinance you.

Hey Stephanie, I have a friend who owns a mortgage company who may be able to try to help you. I just sent him an email to see if he does anything in Iowa. I think he can do the whole US, but I'm not 100% sure. If there is anything that can get done to help your situation I know he's the type of person to find it for you. I'll let you know what I hear back from him. I was going to suggest was Grace did with the quit claiming your ex off the title...

Trayce, we had the same minister. Did you love her? Everyone at our wedding really liked her, even though for some reason, I wasn't thrilled with having a woman marry us. She did a good job. Your pics are great. Can't wait to see the pro pics.

Hopefully our lack of posts doesn't mean that the rest of you have been slackers like I have been this week. I thought I'd post some snack ideas that I was emailed. I know I'm always looking for healthier snack ideas. Tony's Top 10 Snacks By Tony Horton, creator of P90X® I rotate through this list of in-between goodies all week long. I'll even use the PROBAR and the protein shake as meal substitutes. Most of the things on this list can be packed up for travel time. The bars, pretzels, nuts, and graham crackers are perfect fast foods for when you're away from home. So no more excuses! Here are my top 10 snacks. 1. My sticky bar of course (with banana, peanut butter, and granola); see below 2. Almond butter (thinly spread) on organic whole-grain toast 3. Snyder's of Hanover Organic Oat Bran Pretzels 4. PROBAR nutrition bar (original blend), 380 calories of pure joy—and 100% vegan 5. Protein shake—made with banana, half cup of frozen blueberries and strawberries, one tablespoon of flaxseed meal, two ice cubes, protein powder, and rice milk 6. Food For Life's Ezekiel 4:9 cereal with almonds mixed into 8 ounces of plain nonfat yogurt and half cup of fresh blueberries 7. Handful of raw mixed nuts 8. Mi-Del Honey Grahams (whole wheat; eight crackers are 280 calories) 9. CLIF Nectar bars—I like the cinnamon pecan (four organic ingredients and only 170 calories) 10. LARABAR snack bars (ingredients: dates, pecans, almonds; 220 calories) Tony's Sticky Bar 1/2 medium-size banana 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter (organic minus hydrogenated oils, preferably) 1 cup unsweetened granola Mix and mash all three ingredients into a bowl. Spoon onto a sheet of wax paper. Roll up the contents into hot dog/cigar shape. Stick in the freezer. Ready in about 90 minutes. Cut off little bites or eat the whole thing. Eat it frozen or throw it in the microwave for 10 seconds. Serves 2.

I agree Jaime, no more tanning beds for you! It does look like heat rash. I hope it clears up in a day or so!

ooh, Steph, that would make me so mad! And then I love that he's like, what's the big deal? Men, gotta love em. lol

I have a friend who decided to try this. The first time she put it on she thought it might work ok and thought that the ink was coming up, but after trying it more times she found it doesn't work. She said it causes a lot of bleeding, it hurts and the tattoo hasn't faded. So, she stopped using it.

Congratulations Joanna, that's awesome!

There are almost 30 cases here in CT, most about 10 minutes from my town and I'm pretty sure people are still flying to the US and CT. Its a shame the media didn't have anything better to do than get people all worked up over this. I feel so badly for those of you who have had to deal with this. Hopefully guests are starting to come around.

Congratulations Jac! You look beautiful!

Funny, when we were there it was like they didn't have a dress code at all. There were people wearing shorts in all of the restaurants and some even wore hooded sweatshirts (they did look out of place) and guys definitely wore sandals. My dh was mad I made him dress nicely and then we'd get in there and someone would be in ratty shorts and flip flops. Sounds like its a crap shoot to me... And I 2nd what Missy said, you can be banned for donating points. They really want members to participate to earn points. Just reply to threads that interest you or start a thread that might be helpful to everyone (as long as its something thats not already posted) and you'll earn points faster than you think. Really you only need them for opening attachments.
