Those are adorable, a friend of mine bought a few for her friends last Christmas and they were very cute.

It's very important to us to have our friends involved in someway. We chose to have a very small wedding, and only invited family and a few close friends. I think a "send of party" sounds great. Thanks for the honesty ladies it helps a lot!!! You may want to register anyway for some stuff you really want, otherwise people are not going to be sure of what to give you.

If you are selfish, get over it. If you are impatient, develop patience. If you don't have a sense of humor, get one. If you are easily irritated, calm down. If you are filled with anxiety, relax. If you are too serious, lighten up. If you are too frivolous, find balance. If you are demanding, soften your approach. If you are jealous, develop trust. If you are are holding a grudge, let it go. If you are judgmental, find acceptance. If you are controlling, learn equality. If you are untrustworthy, develop honesty. If you are lazy, learn to work. If you are submissive, learn to assert yourself. If you are rigid, develop flexibility. If you are unkind, become loving. If you harbor resentment, learn to forgive. If you are arrogant, find humility. If you are argumentative, learn to listen. If you are immature, grow up. In sum, heal yourself, develop your character, and become the best person you can possibly be! Will this insure you have a healthy marriage forever and ever? No. But, bringing your very best self to the relationship gives you the best possible chance! And, if both partners do the best they can, well, chances are pretty great there will be a healthy, fulfilling, loving relationship for a long time to come! by Jennifer

This is a great site, maybe you can look through it for creativity. The Art of Intimacy

Here's something I found for you: The Creativity of Love - Roy Croft Quote the art of intimacy, creativity of love, roy croft quote I believe intimacy is that which brings out the beauty and depth of a person. I believe it is through our most cherished relationships where we discover who we are, what we can be, and how we can bring sacredness into the world. I share one of my favorite quotes that speaks to this phenomenon. "I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” ~Roy Croft

So my sister called already and she was very apologetic, she asked how Niles was and she was very concerned. They offered to pay for his vet's bill. I did let her know that Niles is doing well, just a bit terrified still and I did tell her that we wouldn't be treating Barron any different (thanks to all of you!). I also did tell her that Niles was never going back to her house, I just don't want to risk it. She understood.

Jen, fabulous pictures!

Here's a home remedy: For Razor Burns An effective razor burn mask can be made by mashing a couple of strawberries with a 1 spoon of sour cream. Apply this mixture after shaving and leave it for 10 minutes. Do this twice a week for fresh, razor burn free skin. Witch hazel, mild salicylic acid solutions and Aloe Vera gel are known to provide relief for razor burns.

I have no advice, but I agree with Alyssa, don't show any fear around him. Quote: Originally Posted by Alyssa Yeah, that is what i was thinking Sandra - if Barron wanted to hurt Niles, he wouldn't have let go that fast - it sounds to me like Barron feels the need to exert his dominance over Niles but b/c of their huge size difference it is a major problem for Niles. Thank you so much ladies. No my sister doesn't know yet, but she'll find out tonight. They get in around 4pm and my Mom is going to call them. You're right Alyssa, I have to make sure not be scared around him and treat him the same. Right now I'm a little mad at him so I'll stay away from him right now. Ladies, thank you all for your support and advice. You're so right Barron probably didn't mean to hurt Niles that much. You're the best!!!

You look awesome in your dress!

I love it!!

You'll have so much fun! Congratulations!

Beautiful dress and I love the bachelorette pictures, that's so funny you guys dressed up as super heroes!!
