lol! of COURSE you post the pics right as I'm harassing you about them! lol!

You look gorgeous in your dress!!! I love that pic of you and your bm's on the beach...so cute!! :-)

Great review!!! I'm SO happy to hear that everything was just perfect!!

Congrats!!!! Can't wait to see those pics! :-)

I love all the new stuff you guys got!!! and I'm SO loving those turtles! I'm glad you guys chose those! :-) It's going to look SO cute all together!

Congrats!!!! I hope it was absolutely perfect!!!

JUST catching up on this thread...LOVE IT! lol! Lordy it was just one thing after another for you that day - poor girl! End result though, you looked amazing (I too, have red shoe envy!) and you're married!!!! btw....those cupcakes looked perfect! I could SO eat like 9 of those right now! lol!

Congrats doll!!!!

Our house is 2200 sq feet and we pay $80 per clean...and have the house cleaned bi-weekly. So far it's working out great for us. She's really nice. She's not doing any 'extras" or anything like that, just basic cleaning. But that's what we hired her for so it's all good.

I swear that's the best money we spend each month! lol!

Good review!!! It sounds like everything was just wonderful!!!! Congrats Mrs! :-)

I gotta say...I can't wait to see those pics! lol!

ETA: Oops! Didn't realize you'd posted a few on page 2! You looked beautiful!!!!! But I still can't wait to see those wedding/decor pics! ;-)

Even thought Karen has already picked out her beach reads...I thought Id add to the list. :-) I just finished reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. When I stumbled across "Twilight" the first in the series I had no clue it was supposed to be a teen/young adult book. But I had a lot of fun reading it! I'm a sucker for a story involving vampires. ;-) I will say that these books are night and day different from Anne Rice's vampire series. Not as serious, gory and victorian...these are definitely more contemporary. But I was addicted all the same. I read all three of them in a matter of 4 days and they are approximately 500 pages each! I've even been a total nerd and pre-ordered the 4th in the series that is coming out the day before our Vegas trip...figured I'd read on the plane and by the pool a bit. :-) Anyway, I'd definitely reccomend them to anyone who's just looking for a good story to read.

They are actually making a movie of the book Twilight...that at first I was interested in, but now am more nervous about since the movies are NEVER as good as the books they're based on. Oh well, I guess we'll see!

And I'm totally going to scroll back through this list and take some suggestions from you girls...I'm looking for something to distract myself with 'til that next book in the series comes out! lol! ;-)

I KNEW there was a reason I woke up wanting a huge glass of champagne today!!! Lol!!! I'm SO excited for you Glenda! You're going to look amazing in your dress - I cant wait to see you in it!

have fun, eat cupcakes and have lots and lots of drinks! ;-)

Yay for more pics!!! :-) Her room is really cute! And I agree...she looks adorable and TINY in that big, ol crib of hers. lol! I'm so so so so happy you kids are finally home. I bet your sis and dad were SO happy to finally meet her! :-)

hugs!!

YAY!!!!!!!! SO excited that Miss Ainsleigh made her appearance! :-) Hope you're doing well, resting up as much as possible Christine! Hugs to you and your little one! Can't wait to see her and hear all about it!

I'm SOOOOO happy to hear that you guys are home safe and sound!! If I feel this relieved and happy, I can't begin to imagine how you must feel! lol!

Big hugs to you and lots of kisses to little Gwen!!!

my wedding/anniversary is a little less than two weeks before my b-day. And while I don't hate it....I don't love it. I mean I LOVE when my anniversary is (Cinco de Mayo!!!) but I always feel bad/guilty about having another celebration just two weeks later. It just makes me feel weird and/or greedy or something. But I don't really want to ignore my b-day so we just kind of make it work.

LOL!!!! I just thought that was too funny to pass up! I swear my friend's apt in the city is about that size. ;-)

We just got a Natural Response Latex Mattress...And LOVE it! I had/have no clue exactly how it works, but it's absolutely the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on. It's soft and comfy...but not tooooo soft where it's not supportive. Anyway, here's their website - but it says it's under maintenance right now.... Natural Response - The World's Finest Mattresses

Since that website isn't much help at the moment...here's a random site I found that talks more about that brand/style of mattress

Happy Birthday!!! I'm sorry your man is out of town. :-( But I hope you have a great day anyway!! :-)

LOL!!! THAT is funny!!!!! You poor thing! The worst ones are the surprise ones...where you think you're fine and go on about your business only to notice it after you've run into at least 10 people! David totally did that to me one time...SO embarassing!!!! We had just started dating and he had left me at his apt when he went to work. I got up to get ready to have lunch w/ my MOM and noticed it! I used all kinds of makeup and thanked god the shirt I had w/ me had a collar on it! lol! I called him and bawled him out for it too! Punk!

I don't have any good suggestions unfortunately...I just had to go the make up route myself.

So excited for you!!!! BIG HUGS from Dave and I!! :-) Can't wait to meet your little girl! :-)

I would just like to say that Morgan is gorgeous!!!! And those TTD pics are HOT!

YAY for teaser pics!!!! This totally made my afternoon! :-)

Wow...I thought the 2nd pic looked good! Very impressive how rich you made the colors from the first one. I think you're getting good at this!

That's so great Amy sent over those shoes for you! I love her style too so I can't wait to see them. :-) You're going to be a gorgeous bride Alyssa!

Sorry I've been so out of touch/behind on all this Ann...but I'm SO excited to hear that little Miss Gwen is all yours and you guys are headed home soon!!!!!! I'm just so happy and excited for you! You absolutely need to make a big scrapbook about her journey to grow fast and get home! :-) It's been amazing and she's just done so well.

Good luck w/ any last minute preparations!

I love those pics!! They all just look so happy... Can you imagine waiting 'til you were 80+ years old to get to marry your FI?!?!??! omg! I bet they were so excited!!!

lol! I LOVE that movie!! Only a very few of my friends will even consider watching it with me! But I think it's great! :-)

Love, Actually is totally "our movie". Like most people have a song...we don't, but we can both watch Love, Actually over and over again.
