Anyway, looking forward to seeing projects and going through the process of planning a wedding. Have any of you started to interview resorts/planners? I am getting married in Italy and am not sure when is the right time to start. ~Robin Yes to DIY! You make only as many as you need....and have fun in the process! I'm doing Message in a Bottle invites and am so stoked to do it. My daughter, who's 8, is also excited to help out! About the resorts/planners question, I haven't because a lot of places I'm looking at say you can't reserve anything this far in advance. I have been getting quotes and stuff, but again; nothing is set in stone because they are giving me 2009 prices and not 2010. They said to expect at least a 3% increase in price by May 2010. So, I'd rather not get my hopes set on one place and it turn up to be to expensive for us or our family. But with all that said, Good Luck planning and be sure to hit us up with your ideas and post pictures of your DIY projects!

You can't order online and have it shipped to Canada?

Awe...thanks! I hope that we are able to get it back! I feel naked!

[It was very unexpected. She just woke up one morning walked into the kitchen and said she wasn't happy and was leaving. And to make matters even worse. I get an email from my mom today saying the will be taking my grandmother off life support. So January hasn't been the best month for me! What a way to start 2009!/FONT]

So....I was shopping...one thing I do at work...other then be on here, and I found THE BM dress. I wanted something that they could wear again! I also wanted to buy the dress for them. I fell in love with this dress and it's my color. I hope my girls love it as much as I do! Here's the best part. $36.00 each at Kohls.com!

Congrats on becoming a May 2010 bride! I hope we can encourage each other and share some ideas....maybe!

I'm glad your little sister is taking things well - 16 is a hard age to go through that - any age is I guess but at least she has you guys for support also. We have talked to our dad about this....he is not taking this well at all. He wants to think she is coming back. In all honesty, I hope she comes back, but I don't think she is. We used to live in a small city, which is how I found out, everybody knows everybody's business up there. I am surprised I didn't hear sooner.

It's really hard because he is in Missouri!

So, I walk into my mom's house this Sunday to pick up my daughter and the first thing she says to me is, "why didn't you tell me about your dad?" I look at her very confused and said, "what are you talking about mom?" She was all like, "Oh, you didn't know!?!" So she proceeds to tell me that my step-mom (who has been a 2nd mom to me for 22 years) left my dad......BACK IN SEPTEMBER! So, very upset and honestly a little pissed....I called my sister and asked her if she knew....and she didn't. So we talked about what we're going to do. We chose to call our little sister first, who is only 16 and in the middle of all this. She is very adult about the whole situation and surprised that we even knew. I can understand why he didn't tell us....thought she was coming back.....but for 5 months he has not called/written. He didn't acknowledge my birthday, my son's 1st birthday, Christmas, or New Years. I understand he was hurting...but I would think hurting and turning away everybody that can help you get through it would make things harder. And not to mention LYING to your two daughters! I don't know....I was so mad at him for not sending a Christmas card...and now I'm mad at myself for feeling that way. But if I had known I would have totally understood! WOW...I feel a little bit better.

WOW....Congrats! Have a good time! Can't wait to see pictures when you come back!
