Morning Shells... Yeah last night was great... we had dinner at a Chinese Buffet and the went to a Jazz bar... It was so much fun... The xmas dinner was actually a shwer for FI and I as well... We didn't know that going, they gave us this amazing gift of a two night stay in Niagara falls and spa package... we'll use it later in the spring when we need to escape. It was really sweet of them... I am not sure if I ever told you the story of Mark and I? I worked with youth at risk for years and I helped kids find jobs in the trades... One of the companies I worked with to place these kids in employment was a treecare company... Most kids with attention and learning disabilities do very well working outside and climbing trees. This company is very family oriented and I got to know the owners very well over the years and they set Mark and I one day to meet. Mark is their manager... He runs the business for them because they are semi retired... Mark has worked for them since he was 19 and as gone from a tree climber to their manager. At the party last night I was touched that they celebrated our upcoming wedding with the staff xmas party... There was about 40 people there and 11 of the staff I helped them find that job and they have grown so much over the years. This one kid was such a shit and was on such a bad path about 9 years when we met and he was trying to find a job that would keep him out of jail... I remember his mom and dad asking me to help them because he had court in a few weeks and the judge told him the last court appearence if he didn't have a job the next time he came to court he was going to jail. rambling here lol..... This kid is married now with two little girls... It was a very emotional night for me... So yeah it was a great night

Congrats and thank you for your detailed review...

WOW!!! everything was amazing and I am so glad you healed in time for your wedding.. you looked amazing

I totally agree with the buying knock off dresses, I just can not justify spending the huge ticket price for an designer gown. I actually had a seamstress make my dress from pictures of two other dresses. i love it and it fits amazing

Totally amazing,,, i love everything...thank you for sharing I am getting so excited

Hi babes I stuck a note for you in the feb thread..... Go to your local hardware store and buy a little electrical device that send outs a signal through your house that keeps the little critters away.. It cost about $24 dollars and it really works.

Everything is so very pretty

And no holes for traps and cheese, our basement is totally finished. Kristaheer.... You can go to your local hardware store and buy this little device that you plug into the electrical outlet that sends out some kind signal that keeps the little critters away.. their cheap like $24 and they work like a charm. I am so excited for you gals getting your dresses... that just means you are getting so close to your big day... yippeeeeeee Timberly have fun next weekend... We'll chat before you leave...

Lisa - that's very cute idea for the bracelets! I think they'll love it! I hope everyone has a great weekend! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how we can devise one of those machines....mmm....if only I had a degree in physics... Ok... Bright ideas... if you gals can find the slim machine... Sue has on her xmas list.. An ass lifter, wrinkle steamer.. OH i would also like my fat legs stretched... I have been a good girl all year so knock yourselves out my little elves...

I have the original paperwork to show my name change, and all my current documents - passport, birth certificate, etc, have my stepdad's (new last name) on them, but your comment worries me. Will I have problems in Mexico because of this? i am not sure how much of that paperwork has to be changed into spanish... I just could b bothered

Sorry, work has been super busy so I haven't had alot of time to be on the site. I can't keep up! I hope everyone's wedding planning is going smoothly!! I seriously can't believe our wedding dates are coming up. It'll be here before we know it! Once the xmas holidays are done we're all coasting into the day
