Karen

Betsy, hope you and your FH have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon! Enjoy!

Here is the Tunnel to Towers link. It sounds very cool and the money raised goes to a wonderful cause. Tunnel To Towers Run - Home Page

Congrats Heidi and Reggie! Hope today was the day of your dreams!

We planned ours in 6 months and everything was wonderful. We also eloped. lol. But you can do it no matter how big. The resort takes care of most of the big stuff. Just concentrate on what is most important to you in terms of the little things (favors, invites, oot bags, etc.). If you try to incorporate too much, you will get overwhelmed. Also, delegate responsibility. Even though we eloped, there were a lot of tasks to complete including our AHR so my husband and i split up tasks and checked in with each other. But seriously, you'll be amazed on how it will all come together.

Mo, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Please take care of yourself.

us out of towners should probally coordinate and try to stay at the same hotel. Worse comes to worse, the hotel would be a central location to meet up.

Luncheon cruises are a bit less and run between $37 to 55 per person. Kelly (dragonfly) had a great idea. Since a few of us are probally staying over Sat night, those who can't make it Sat maybe can meet up with some of us the next day for brunch or something.

The guys can come and cheer us on and then we can cheer them on at the keg party:) Think about it Sounds like a plan. will have to resaerch it and see when it is. Actually it would be cool to get a group of us BDW girls together to run Tunnels to Towers. What do you guys think?

Anything with a strong beat.....I tend to gravitate towards dance music Today I added J-Lo, Lil Mama, and Shakira. Joan jett works well tooo.

Running got me through my divorce, the death of my father and the heartache of Nicole. I don't know what I would do without running. I have had to slow down because of a foot injury, that I need surgery on and haven't found the time to have, so now I run to blow off steam and for some time alone. I do these races called the Great Candian Running Series, in Toronto. Starts off with a 5 k in April and ends with the 1/2 marathon in Sept. They are a series of races that build you up with each race, you have your 5k, 10k, then a fun party kegger 10 mile, another light 5 k, and the final race either the half or you can just do 5 k. They are so much fun, you get to know people and it is great running down the middle of the Gardier express way in downtown T.O with people yelling and honking at you. Holy Crap Kelly! a 6 minute mile.....wow! Color me impressed. The running series sounds so cool. Wish there was something like that around here.

I want to do the NY marathon before I'm 40. There's this 9K...I can't think of the name of it but it's in my state.....well once you cross the finishline you are handed a beer and are welcomed by basiclly a keg party. Very cool. The rock and roll half marathon had a band playing at every mile marker. I had to throw cups of water on myself so I felt like a real racer. So fun!

I injured my groin a few years ago so I'm easing my way back into things. Right now I'm on the treadmill but I can't wait to get outside. I'm just too much of a whimp to run when it's cold out. Tammy, you should try run/ walk. Basicly this is intervals of running and walking like it sounds. I start with 5 minutes of walking and 5 minutes of running. Or I run a mile then walk for a little bit and run another mile. I just eased my way into it. Believe me up until 4 years ago, the only way I was running was if someone was chasing me. lol.

Oh Goodness Brittney. I hope everything works out for the best.

I'm not a die hard runner but I do enjoy it and have been in 2 races: the Rock & Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach and Freihoffer's Run for Women (5K). Before the half marathon, I never ran before. I trained for the 1/2 marathon as part of "Team in Training" which raises money for the Leaukemia Society. What's so cool about races these days are all the different fun themes and the different people you can meet. I kinda feel like a rock star when I'm in a race because of all the fans cheering you on. So I decided to start training for my second "Run for Women". Figured entering a race is a great way to light a fire under my butt to get in shape. Any one else been in races or have good race stories?

So we start taking pictures and then realize that we have to keep going back in the card to pull up the latest pics to print so we ask his aunt if we can delete the pics on her card. Well Cain was going through them to make sure nothing look too important that she could have forgot about, and their was a picture of her on her bed wearing just a bra and panties in a sexy pose that her DH took of her. lol.. Cain told me about it later and I wanted SOOOO badly to call her up and tell her but Cain told me I couldn't. OMG I can just imagine what poor Cain was thinking.. rofl.. lol. that is too funny. I think I'm too paranoid too take pics. I love reading these juicy threads but I feel like I can't fully participate because DH is a BDW friend. Let's just say....I like cell phones.

Happy Birthday Michelle!!!!

Heidi!!!!! I hope you and Reggie have a beautiful day and that all your days are beautiful! Enjoy!!

Congrats Maureen! That's awesome. Your idea sounds perfect!

[ Happy Birthday Sweetie!!! To the best husband and sweetest guy in all the world. I love you more than I could ever say!!!

Great Review Jamy! Valley of Fire looks beautiful!

I'm happy because I had today off and did mostly nothing. I've had a cold all week and it was nice to just chill.

whoops! Just saw you are from Canada...so that part might be missed. Even so I wouldn't worry about it.

I seriously don't think anyone would ask. I agree with just saying that they don't do the signing in Jamaica if anyone asks. I seriously doubt it. In most American weddings I've been too, the cert signing wasn't a part of the ceremony. So I don't think it will be missed.

My hubby and I were married at DT and loved it. Congrats and Happy Planning!

Morgan, sorry to hear about your break in. It happened to me in the past. It sucks and you feel so violated. Just glad your'e ok.
