WTF? if anyone's trip should have gotten paid shouldn't it have been mine? LOL FI's brother has always said he's not coming, can't afford it because of school, etc. but he managed to buy a $1000 flat screen tv in time for the superbowl. what.ev.er. and final example, FI's half-sister "couldn't afford to come" (not even a few days) but managed to plan her family's 10-day trip to disney THE SAME WEEK as our wedding. then she couldn't understand why FI's/her father got so mad when she posted all about it on facebook, LOL. it's all in where people's priorities are. unfortunately, we can't make people spend THEIR money the way WE want them to. it can sting a bit tho when we learn we are nowhere near a top priority. Wow! Holy cow! Lisa that is bad! But you sumed it up. I think we find out who are friends are and where we fall in other people's priorities. It can be a slap in the face. By the way, just talked to my MOH, she just announced her wedding will be a month and a half before mine. She doesn't know if she can afford my trip now. AAAAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dana- I hear ya! One of my best friends keeps telling me she would love to go if she could afford it and will try to save for it and then turns around and buys granite countertops on a whim and asks me what I think of them and if she should get them. (She doesn't need them, its purely want and not need). My MOH just got a 7% paycut at work because it was the companies way of not laying off in this economy and her DH got the same cut because he works at the same place. She hasn't said anything about not being able to go yet but she talks about how they don't have enough money to pay bills now but they just went out and bought a hot tub! I don't understand it either!

Ooooh! Simmons beautyrest! Hands down the best! I don't know your preference but we got the one between the firm and the softest. (I don't like firm). Anyways, its like sleeping on a cloud! I think I am more in love with it than I am my FI!

Damn, I'm still last!
