Can you believe Valentine's Day is right around the corner? 17 days away!!!! I know you girls are full of fun & creative ideas!!! I'll go first... One of my best friends is going through a divorce right now. Yup, after 13 years and breast cancer her husband decided to file for divorce. Well she moved from San Antonio to Houston (where her family lives) and I've invited her to come down to San Antonio for Valentine's Day! I made reservations at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort -Wildflower Spa- for one of their Valentine Packages. It's going to be a girl's weekend this year. FI will be there with friends golfing. But my girlfriend & I will be experiencing a little pampering at their luxurious spa!! Chocolate massage at that!! =) At the end of the day we will all have dinner & kinda go our diff ways after that?? So tell me, what are your Valentine plans this year?

Hey girls! My Sprint contract is finally expiring at the end of next month & it's got me to thinking about switching cell phone providers. I've been with Sprint for a very long time. I never thought about leaving cuz I don't ever have problems with them but this whole iPhone thing has got me crazy! I want one! Especially since I spilled Propel Water in my purse (the top actually just came off) yesterday & my phone does not work now. This is only the 3rd time this has happened. My friends think it's sooo funny cuz it's seriously Propel Bottle Water that has opened in my bag! Maybe I have a habit of not closing the lid tightly but I'm pretty sure I do! Does anyone have any advice on AT&T &/or the iPhone? TIA!

Awesome dress! Unique & Beautiful! =) Congratulations on finding the one.

Awesome dress! Unique & Beautiful! =)

Ohhhhhhh puleeze boring my ass! Shame on them!!!!! They are just trying to make themselves feel better... So sorry you guys can't stay at the NICE hotel! ..... I apologize. Can you tell aunt flow is visiting? Gotta get me some ice cream!

I really don't see the connection with Stephanie. I keep thinking that maybe he just feels bad for her but then again I know (or so I think) he wouldn't keep leading her on Ugh! And I erased the episode already so I don't know the Naomi drama??

I'm glad he let both of them go too! I mean, the teacher lady is a total freak! I just think it's a matter of time for Stephanie to go home too.. I like Naomi. But what's up with the girls saying that he picked her cuz she was crying all the time & he felt sorry for her I'll have to rewind that part if I didn't erase it already..

Can you believe last nights show? I was really surprised that he kept Stephanie. I know she's nice and all but she does seem too old for him. I'm confused now. Or whaat about the girl who stayed the night with him? -I forgot her name... I guess the Deanna show is getting a little closer!!!! I'm soooo excited!!!!

ditto to all the responses so far! The pics are great!!!

Welcome to the forum Carmen!! Luv ur wedding date!

You look AbSoLuTeLy fabulous!!!!!!! I luv all of ur pics! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely would like to be near the EL Tracks for sure! I have a friend who lives at Sky 55 on S. Michigan Ave. Hope this is not a stupid question but what neighborhood is that? When I google for apartments I'm always getting: River NorthWest Loop StreetervilleLincoln Park Gold CoastOld Town Lakeshore East / New East SideSouth Loop / Printer's Row I don't know the difference??

For those of you who don't know, FI and I have postponed our wedding. We actually received the "We changed the date" announcement today. I'm pretty much over it though.... We currently live in San Antonio and I commute to work (Chicago) every week. Before I met FI, I was determined to move to downtown Chicago & experience living in my base. Meaning- starting my trips (I'm a flight attendant) in Chicago & ending in Chicago (where I would live) instead of having to commute back to San Antonio on the next flight I could find home. After loong discussions with FI he agrees that it's his time to "commute". He works Mon-Thurs (as I do) & he would take a flight Thursday night to Chicago & spend the weekend with me. He is the best! The problem? Where the heck should I be looking for apartments in Chicago? I want to live downtown. I sold my car so I'll either take a taxi/train to work. -I know the winter is bad so I'm kinda just ignoring that right now- I've looked online ALL day but there are soooooo many different neighborhoods I don't know where to start!!!! I'm just looking for a nice 1 bedroom apartment approx $2,000/month. That's my max. Can any BDW Chicago gals help me out Thanks for your time!

Personally I really like it with the bustle! Of course I'm no expert! I'm sure we will get plenty of feedback from the girls..... Your dress is BeAuTiFuL!!! =)

I'm keeping my middle name, so I will have 4 names which seems totally odd to me, but my Aunt suggested this. Because apparently if you change names, then when you get divorced you have no record as far as credit. But if you keep your last name (at least hyphenate it), then there will be some sort of record our there for your maiden name. My Aunt waited until she was about 40 to marry my Uncle, so I doubt she was considering divorce - but she did it just to be safe, which is what I plan on doing. I never thought of that Jamie! Come to think of it though when my parents divorced after 23 years together my mom had to start from ZERO. She went back to her maiden name which she last had when she was like 20 years old & had nothing in HER name only. SO that's a great point you (and your aunt) have brought up. I think this officially helps me on what I'm doing as far as my last name. Thanks for sharing the info....
