here it is!

Kate (kleslie5) thank you so much for the bath stuff!!!! We just went out the door to walk the dog and I saw the package, and I was so excited to get home and open it! I cannot wait to use this stuff! It smells so great too. Picture coming next!

I was just writing in the help my brother win a chance to find a date thread, about one of his drunk escapades, and thought it would be fun for everyone to tell their crazy drunk stories. So here was my brothers that I told: Few years back during Spring Jam (big campus block party where the drinking starts before you get in the shower at 8am) my brother was sitting on the deck railing, making out with a girl. In the middle of making out, he proceeds to fall off the deck. Which is about 5 feet up. So he falls off. Picks himself back up and dusts off, then walks back up to the girl, resumes his seat on the railing, and continues to make out like nothing happened! Who does that?!

OMG girls, you're totally killing me!!! I'm laughing so hard! I'm taking some of your comments and sending them to my brother. He's going to love it! If he does win, I'll make him write a litle summary of the day... and how drunk he gets! He's notorious for getting completely shit faced and making an ass out of himself. Which I've told him, does not help him get girls! But I guess we'll see if he wins, what happens! IE a few years back, during Spring Jam (big campus block party) he was sitting on a deck railing, making out with this girl. He proceeds to fall off the deck - probably 5 feet up. Gets up, dusts himself offs himself off, and walks back to this girl to resume the making out. Hearing his stories make me cringe, but I can't help but laugh either.

Wow, wait until your daughter is old enough and you can tell her all the crazy stories about how she came into the world, and found her way back to MN.

Wow, that's so great! I've always wanted to live on a lot of land. 7.5 acres is so fun!

Congrats! I can't wait to see pictures of the new place!

My brother just messaged me on gmail and said "looks like the power of your wedding people is helping!" ha! he must have underestimated BDW!

Thanks girls!!!

My little brother needs your help to get on a booty cruise! (ha, that sounds so bad!) It's from a radio station in my hometown, they do a cruise on Lake Minnetonka every summer and usually it's just for a bunch of girls. But this year they are allowing 5 pairs of guys, but they have to be voted on. His friend submitted his picture - he just broke up with this crazy girl and his friend decided he needed to meet new people! I agree. Please help him! 101.3 KDWB The Twin Cities Hit Music Station My brother's name is Jason Van Thiel. Please vote for him! He needs to meet some new ladies!!

It looks really great! I'm so jealous that you get to bring your own stylist!

I'm so impressed! They look so nice!

After going to wallmart last night and buying the above bags, we started to worry that our "fillers" would look really pathetic in a bag that size. So we went to the dollar tree to see what we could find for fillers. We found tons of filler, but we also found bags! So I'm returning the Walmart bags, and using the dollar tree bags, and now I can spend more filling the bags. Here's what I bought at the Dollar Tree: The bag - $1 footballs - $1 Mini bottle of generic tums - $1 Mini Tylenol - $1 After sun lotion - $1 I also have these: Candels $1 from Michaels Hand make soaps - Peir 1 98 cents each I am also going to add SPF chapstick, a cup like the following only with our wedding logo - this cup is from the bar we met at, they have hyper color cups so we want to copy them and go with hypercolor cups with our logo And then some snacks and a Puerto Vallarta post card, and that should be it! I'm so happy you all told us about the Dollar Tree. We hit the jackpot there last night. We got all that stuff for CHEAPER than the wallmart bags alone! Here's what it looks like so far:

We just bought these bags at Walmart for 5/each. We may do an iron on transfer, but it's something I have to look into as these are meshy bags.

Cute!!!! I love good adoption stories!

hmm that cupon code doesn't work for me. Did it work for everyone else?

So true!! Quote: Originally Posted by Alyssa Tara, I love little details and I went through something similar. I think you need to compartmentalize some of this stuff, instead of looking at it as 'wedding' just think about 1 thing at a time... like OOT bags...then finish those and move on to the next thing KWIM? That is a really good idea! Thanks for all our ideas ladies! Somehow I need to get stuff done!

I personally would order the dress larger, because it's always easier to make it smaller. I was really close to fitting into a 10, but I ordered a 12 just to be on the safe side. I too was planning to loose weight but didn't want it to come in and then be freaked that it wouldn't fit!

Lately I've been having wedding nightmares. Basically I dream about all of the things on my "wedding shit" to do list. I think this means that I need to get my ass in gear and get stuff done. While in reality I have no motivation to do so. I am really excited for the wedding. But I'm SOOO over planning it. And, to be honest, most of my "planning" was finding a location and a dress. And those two things alone have totally swallowed up all of my wedding planning desires. I think part of it, is that Joe and I have been engaged for, what seems like, a lifetime now. I always thought of our wedding as "SOOO far away! I've got tons of time" Well, that's not really true anymore. I've got 5 months. And that freaks me out! I haven't done anything aside from sending out invites. I haven't bought anything, aside from a dress, flip flops, and travel candles for the OOT bags. I know I need to get on the ball and get stuff in order, so that it's not all last mintue. But I just can't find the desire to do stuff. What's even more funny, is that I love little details. So why can't I get motivated to give our wedding these little details I love so much?! A year ago, I was ALL ABOUT planning, but forced myself to let it go because it was too early. Now that it's not too early, I can't get myself do to anything. Ok, thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

this girl obviously doens't know what it means to be a bridesmaid... or a friend for that matter. i'd release her from her BM duties. You'll be better off without her.

Oh man, I just read your post and couldn't wait to read the rest before I commented. I cannot believe the balls on your SIL!!! I don't care if she just had a baby and is emotional and all that, you just don't treat people like that. She was so obviously disrespectful to your parents! And my god, all your parents want is meet their grandchild. How wrong is that? Ugh your SIL... Does she always act like this? And, please, brother, step in and say something!

aww Kelly that really sucks. Just remember your wedding is about YOU and FI. While it's nice to have family involved, what's most important is you two and the new family you are starting together. Hugs!

I would be very happy if I was in a wedding and the bride picked that dress for the BM dresses. It's a beautiful dress and I love the color!

I love the one of you two first seeing each other! Those are always the greatest pictures. You and your sisters - man you all look so much alike!!!
