Ok - that was way off topic!

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing - it's nice to be reminded that good things happen!

We met at a bar (the Gingerman in Dallas) but a mutual friend introduced us! He lived in Austin, Texas at the time and moved up to Dallas in February (1.5 years after dating long distance). We just took some of our e-pics there last weekend (sorry photo whores - I dont have them back yet)

Yes - everything Maura said. Also, lots and lots of photographers have specific places on their sites where they post TTD pics. Many of them are members on here as well.

You look beautiful! Your hair is gorgeous! Everything was amazing! Oh, and I loooovvveeeee the title of this thread! I'm proud to be a photo whore and I'm rejoicing!

Hey Jess, I asked Matt to give me a review of his MSI Wind and he wrote a lot! Hopefully it helps. This is straight from him: http://tinyurl.com/5ft3hm There's a comparison of 4 of the netbooks that I'd recommend right now. I've read good things about the Acer Aspire, Dell is a well-known brand and I've read good things about their netbook, Asus started the netbook trend so has a lot of support, and I love everything about my MSI Wind. Almost all the netbooks our there right now have the same specs, there's just small things (if only cosmetic) that differentiate them. All of them run the same processor, I think you can get all of them with 1GB RAM (which I'd recommend) and I'm pretty sure you can get all of them with Windows XP installed, all have wireless, all but the Acer have bluetooth to use with bluetooth mice, etc; so the only things to really think about are size (screen, harddrive, & keyboard). The Acer and Dell models are both 8.9 inch screens while the Asus and MSI are 10 inch screens. Keep in mind that dimension is measured diagonally from corner to corner. I like my Wind's 10 inch screen as it makes the netbook really portable while not making me read off an incredibly small screen. 10 inches is smaller than someone thinks if they haven't seen one in person. The keyboards on all of these models should be fine, but won't be exactly the same size as a regular desktop or laptop, but after time your fingers will get used to it and touch typing is fine. A larger screen means a larger case and so a larger keyboard. As for harddrives the Acer and Dell come with SSD (solid state drives). SSD have no moving parts, but are more expensive to manufacture so usually don't have as much capacity. The Acer, MSI and Asus come with regular laptop harddrives which have moving parts. Unless you're throwing this thing around either type of drive should be fine. You should be able to get the Acer with a 8 or 16 GB SSD harddrive or 120 or 160 GB laptop drive. The Dell a 4, 8, or 16 GB SSD harddrive. MSI a 80, 120, or 160 GB laptop drive. Asus an 80 or 160 GB laptop drive. External harddrives can always be bought fairly cheap with large capacities; WD Passport and Seagate Freeagent are two I'd recommend. All of these models have good forums run by fans; depending on which she chooses I can point her in the right direction. I think whichever she's comfortable with is the one she should get; they're all good. Just an FYI, Asus has a ton of them out so make sure to read the data sheet before buying; if going towards an Asus I would recommend the Asus EEE 1000h as it has a larger screen and harddrive. Personally I chose the MSI Wind as it had real favorable reviews, an almost full size keyboard, a 10 inch screen, and a larger capacity harddrive. The only issues I've had with it are the touchpad was real sensitive at first (only affected certain batches) but after downloading a new driver that fixed the problem. In fact regardless of the model, one of the first things I'd recommend after getting it is to check for driver updates on the products official page and install them.

What an adorable boy! Congratulations!

I am PMing/emailing you about the OOT bags!

I think that is what it does - only changes to Notifications if you have something other than a PM. At least that is what I've noticed

That is so neat! I love this forum - there is always something new and interesting!

I vote for the 1st one. I might be biased because I think I tried it on! I think it gives you amazing va-va-voom curves.

I think a notification is something other than a PM. Michelle added me as a friend and it said Notifications. Once I accepted her (you're welcome - it went back to Private Messages. Now my question is what happens when you are friends with someone? Michelle you know I love you!

Casey - I added you as a friend but I have no idea what that means or does. Did yours change from PM to Notifications?

Mine still says Private Messages. Maybe we're not cool enough to have friends?

I can't wait for the holiday so I dont have to wear heels! I used to love heels all day everyday...maybe I'm getting old?

Most of our guests haven't even looked at booking yet and our wedding is in March. Especially with the holidays + economy, people arent looking to book right now. I'm waiting until after New Years to see where everyone stands. I think Feb is ok, but realize some people will book weeks before (rather than months). We also sent out an email (following the STD) asking for liklihood so we could get preliminary numbers.

That's exactly why I dont watch scary movies! They not only give me nightmares, they make me paranoid for weeks.

That doesn't sound good Jamie! I'm not a medical expert. Maybe play the wait-and-see game? I hate spending $20 for a co-pay for a doc to tell me to rest and take iburpofen! I bought new running shoes this weekend and apparently they were tied too tight and my feet were numb by the end of the run. Matt was a little mad at me for not saying something. He said we could have stopped for that Anyway, they were fine right after that. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes until you feel better!

My FI recently bought a MSI Wind netbook. There are 5 netbooks that are comparable (all under $500)...and the new Dell and MSI Wind are 2 of them. He did a ton of research and decided on the Wind, but the Dell was his second choice. I can ask him what the final deciding factor was but here is what I've noticed... 1. very light - easy to carry around 2. runs very well - we are taking it to the wedding for our music (rather than an i-pod) 3. very small - good in general, but I have fingernails (they grow like crazy) and its hard for me to use the small keyboard sometimes 4. smaller screen than I am used to - but I have a Dell as well and its a 15" so its a big difference (he loves the smaller screen) 5. no cd/dvd drive - we might buy an external one for flights (we travel a lot) 6. he uses an external mouse as well as the touch pad is too small for daily use (its fine when we travel, but you wouldnt want to use it for hours on end) Overall, he loves it and its a great buy. I would suggest going to Best Buy or similar to try one out first.

Haha - the thread title cracked me up! It sounds like it is haunted, but all the ghost wants is to watch some tv. I say let it, maybe it's something good

Everything looks amazing and your flowers were gorgeous! I love the trolley ride - what a great story and fun time! Yall look so happy and perfect together. Congratulations!!

Maybe have wet-naps on hand so he can wipe off any lipstick that gets on him? I hope he understands that on this one occasion where you will be photographed extensively, you really want to wear lipstick. Just make sure he's not wearing lipstick in the pics as well

Thanks for posting. I am still searching for a RM videographer. How did you hear about them? Do you know if they have a website? Do you mind sharing the rates? Thanks!!

I agree with everyone - it's perfectly fine to have 2 MOHs! I am as well because I didnt want to choose between the 2, and it takes some of the pressure off

WOW Jamie, you look amazing! It's beautiful and you are glowing! Have you ever seen that Friends episode where the girls sit around the living room in wedding dresses? I think we should have a meet-up at someone's house so we can all wear our dresses all day Haha, that would be so funny! And I love your new avatar and siggy pic!!
