Those are cute! I have some of the lacy ones. I was thinking the blue ones would be cute for a wedding too!

beautiful!

OMG Danielle! You are 6 months today! Yikes! Me and Steph are 6 months on Thursday! Yeah, I think I am going to do "Whole body cleanse" I was reading the box while waiting in line for a prescription at Wal Mart. Also, they have Metamucil in strawberry lemonade flavor. I might be adding that to my diet as well! As far as OOT bags go, we have a few staying at another resort (they have timeshares). I am going to take them their bags over to their hotel once I know they are all in. Their bags will be a little different than those staying with us at the AI. Since, we get free bottled water, beer and soda, I am going to add some bottled water, beer and soda to the timeshare bags. For those staying at our AI resort, I think I'm going to do cups for the girls. I figure the guys may just want beers - hey.....maybe I should do koozies for the guys at our resort. (sorry for the ramble...) Anyhow, Most of our guests who are staying with us at the AI will get there Thursday between 3 and 5. We may all be able to hook up at the lobby bar or something. That was my first idea. I'll have to figure it out once we get everyones itineraries. We are getting there on Wednesday the 5th and are leaving on Saturday the 15th. We actually have one couple getting there before us!

Congratulations Maurita and Rachel!

I hope they get you feeling better soon. Let me know what they say. I swear, I keep a full bottle of vicodin on hand just in case the pain comes back. Good luck!

I just want to look fabulous. My FI says I am gorgeous to him no matter what but I dont want to look at our pics and wonder who the beached whale is, oh wait its me! Oh honey! Don't feel bad! I feel the same way and FI says the same thing. What about walking? I have back issues too (Saiatic nerve). I am trying to walk 30 minutes a day. We can motivate eachother! Considering we have the EXACT amount of time to get our bodies into some sort of shape besides the current round shape! LOL!! We can do it! I need some motivation too! I am going to try some soccer with the kids this evening if I don't get my walk in here on the treadmill at work. I didn't join Biggest Loser 2 - but I was going to do the Colonix with Maura until my MOH issue came up. I am going to do a cleanse (not the Colonix one though) to to see if that will kickstart me somehow! Let me know if I can help!

This is a really good thread. I have heard about people stealing from our hotel. I don't want to tell our guests that, but at the same time I want them to be safe. I would feel horrible if something happened! We didn't have a problem with the in room safe during our last visit, but now I'm getting concerned.

I'm happy today because I whitened my teeth last night - and it actually worked! Happy dance for sparkly teeth!

What little witches they are!! They both ought to take their un thankful behinds to the nearest mall and find them a 2nd job to pay you back!!

Wow - I don't know what to say, but that I am wishing and praying for you guys and that something will come through. I am so sorry you are going through this.

Can you PM me the directions on your flower charms? Congratulations!!

I say go with your gut. Only you know your sister. I would not ask her to do a toast - like redheaney said about being a woman scorned...especially if she has a few drinks...not a good idea IMO. I say stick with a poem or verse or something and be sure to mention her in your wedding program.

Woowoo! Happy Cinco De Mayo! (It's not really a holiday) - but who needs a reason for margaritas!!

Liz, Everything looks great! I love your dress and your BM gifts are wonderful! Great job!

Personally, I wouldn't have acommodated them in the first place. You are being too nice. If they are the ONLY ones with kids. Since it is already said and done, no - you are not being selfish. You are being more than acommodating. I hate people who do that. They make you change your plans to suit them, and then they change them with no regard to the sacrifice you made on their behalf.

Those are great! Very cute!

I think it comes down to values, which are really ingrained in people. Unfortunately it might just be until after your wedding for this time to pass. I'm sorry you're going through this with her Pisces said it perfectly! I think my ENTIRE family thinks I am a selfish snob for having a DW in Mexico! However - they were the reason I decided to do it there anyway! For two years FI and I invited them to our home for our annual 4th of July bbq. For two years they declined to come. SO why would we host a party here for them to come and eat and drink on us for our wedding, when we opened our home and they wouldn't even come? My family is avoiding me like the plague! Weddings bring out the worst in people. Like Pisces said....values are ingrained in people. You see peoples true colors and who they really are at times like this. Those who are truly happy for you will be there to help out in the planning even though they aren't going. Give her some time. Also, there may come a time when you have to ask her point blank what is up with her. A lot of times people think too that if they aren't going that they are better off just staying away. You may have to open the door for her to be involved even if she isn't going. I hope it works out!

I got mine at Lanebryant.com Although right now it looks like they don't have anymore dresses
