So I just bought a scale and I think I'm going to cry. I guess it's extra motivation.

Alex, you better be my buddy & I'll make sure you don't reach for that cold beer too often xo Good luck everyone!!

Hi Annie & welcome to the forum! *YEAH* ... another Ontario gal

Hi Keith! to the forum

Welcome & congrats!!

I vote for cake #2 - it's a bit different from your DW cake but it's original it reminds me of the ocean ...very BEAUTIFUL!!

Thanks for everyone's input. I'm still torn but Ottawa is definately out. I'll msg again when I've made my final decision .... which will be by the end of the week

Ainsleigh is gorgeous!!! Congrats mommy

I'm SOOO stressed out about making a decision regarding where to live in the fall. I'm currently in Thunder Bay finishing off a 1 yr contract with the Cdn gov't (we came to this city so that Nathan could finish his degree. I'm a teacher but had to get a full time job for the year while he went to school - I couldn't get a full time teaching position.) I got into 2 universities for my Masters and I'm having a hard time deciding what to do. Option #1 - Stay in Thunder Bay: my boss would extend my contract so that I could keep working, take courses & accept an Assistantship with the university worth just over $8000 for the year that would cover my books/tuition. Nathan could get a decent job (although not in his field) and we could save for the wedding/travelling. Negatives - we don't really want to be stuck here, we don't have many friends here & we'd both be working but out of our fields. I'd be the least happiest here but the $$ is good. Option #2 - Move to Ottawa: I was accepted here as well & would study @ U of Ottawa, I could get a transfer to work there, we have friends in the area & we'd be closer to family. Negatives - living expenses go way up, Nathan has a job lined up but it's 2 hours away so he'd live with parents during week & come visit on weekends & no assistantship Option #3 - Move to Barrie area, I take courses through distance education and we both supply teach (in our fields). Family & friends are much closer. We'd be happiest here Negatives - we're not guaranteed full time hours & it may be slow getting work until we are known better by principals in the area which = unsure about $$. Not sure if we could save tons of $$ here. Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated. Everyone I know doesn't want to get involved b/c it's my decision. Nathan says he'll be happy with whatever I decide but thats no help either. I think it's a questions of Money VS Happiness

Mmmmm .... TWIX! I may just have to run out to get one

Yeah for the Tamaras!!!!

Hi Tracy. Congrats & welcome to the forum! Another Jamaican bride ... YEAH!!!

Welcome to the forum! Watch out, it gets addictive!!

Your pictures are beautiful & you look gorgeous!!! Your hubby even snuck in a bum grab *hehe*

Hi Rachel! I love your wedding date ... most things that are non-traditional and related to weddings make me happy. Welcome

Congrats Susana & welcome to the forum!

Damn, if I looked that good @ 5:15 in the morning I might get up earlier! Your photos turned out fantastic!!

And since I've been going non-stop all week (so far) I typed in necklace but meant bracelet. Sorry!

I found a tiny box in my mailbox yesterday *YEAH* My secret elf sent me a beautiful necklace from one of my favorite Etsy sellers: Ophelia's Jewels. Secret elf ... Come out, Come out wherever you are. I have a huge THANK YOU & a few of these to send your way. You made my day!! bracelet.ppt

Your boarding passes look great! I'm considering trying a DIY project now that I've seen how amazing they turn out.

Denise, I'm glad you liked your gift. I had a great time picking it out for you! Your renewal photos were beautiful, I'm sorry I couldn't make them bigger. If you've noticed, someone else rev'd a picture frame on here as part of her gift. It looks exactly like Denise's. My sister and I live in different cities 8 hours away from each other and we picked out part of the same gift for this round of surprises .... leave it to us! I guess we both just have good taste!

My favs are #3!

I'm voting for #3!!
