GORGEOUS dress Kerry! I think they did a great job. I agree about the beading- mine was supposed to have a lot too and probably has less than yours. Maybe the top looks long because of your measurements? It does look a little long between the beading compared to the orig. Overall though it's gorgeous. Just a warning so you don't freak out though- they sent me my proof pics on April 18th, I sent them my request to correct some uneven applique the same day. I sent another inquiry on May 3rd, they said it would be ready in 3 days and I still have not heard anything. You have plenty of time though!

Oh and 3 weeks Heather!? So exciting!!!

Sorry I've been MIA lately guys. I got back from our mini vacation on Sunday, then yesterday I got hit with some allergies! I really hope I'm feeling better so I can work out tonight. I made it to the gym only 2 out of the 4 days of the vaca, so I was a little proud about that. As for the food, I just watched my portions- with the exception of a steak dinner we went out to. So we'll see what happens this coming week! Speaking of this coming week- I will be MIA yet again! I have friends coming in from NY and San Diego on Thursday- Monday. Thankfully though we will be doing a TON of walking Sat- Monday up in San Fran. I'm excited to see them but my schedule is so shaken up lately!! Horrible for the workouts! Looks like everyone is progressing, or at least if they've had a bad eating day, getting back on track. That's all we can do right!

Superbowl winners: Denver Broncos!!!! I know, I know, it was a long time ago but they are my team!

dieting: before our wedding

I love this thread- I just remembered something that made me so mad! FI was in his friends wedding a couple of years ago. I didn’t know that group very well yet. There were a couple of hours between the ceremony and reception (they were in different locations too) and the bridal party was expected to go take pictures in this meantime. Fine, whatever, I’ve heard of that before. The clincher was that it was specifically noted by the bride that there were NO SPOUSES (or girlfriends, boyfriends, etc) allowed to the park where pics would be taken. WTF was I supposed to do for 2+ hours until the reception?? RUDE! So I’m driving around aimlessly all fancied up. I think I hit up Target for a bit to shop or something.

money: need more

Well, we got FI’s suit! Working with studio suits was so easy. From order to receipt it was less than 3 weeks! We got the pure irish linen (75 extra) in pure natural. Straight fit for the pants. We also ordered a custom fitted white linen shirt. It’s hard for FI to find shirts that fit because his neck is large, and is not proportionate with his body. Shirt fits absolutely perfect!! We could have ordered the suit a little smaller, but I think overall it looks great. FI loves it.

You brought tears to my eyes! What a great way to share your special day with Nana!!

OMG Lucyl!!!!! LO freaking L!!!

How much are you looking to spend? I don't personally have anything, but maybe I can give some ideas if I have a price range- of course other ladies may as well!

Exciting: football

So cute Jackie22!!! We have a topper with our furbaby on it too!!

Thanks Krista- He is just such a sweetheart too! We really lucked out with that little puppy!

Thanks everyone! I just got it in the mail yesterday and it is so freaking cute!

Jerseylicious: spray tans

Nice Natasha!! Way to show those english muffins that you don't need them at night! Awesome that you're seeing results on the P90X too- I had wanted to try it, but didn't want to fork over the moola!

Congrats Nicola!!!!!! Ooooh vlvetter that dress is gorgeous! I love the halter and the way the whole dress just shines!! Oh and JEN I totally didn't forget about you- they are boxed up and ready to go- I've just had the craziest few weeks, and now we're going out of town!!

Haha, I love the wedding show rundown! And I'm SO glad that four weddings is back! I was scared there for a minute....

Ugh- life has been totally getting in the way last week!! I feel so guilty about it, but you guys are defnitely good inspiration. Good point about the 30 day habit- I need to remember that!

UH OH I was totally planning on getting the diorshow waterproof- can you tell me what you didn't like about it??

Gosh Darn it! I was SO proud of myself this weekend for NOT having pizza- since it is my biggest weakness- and last night we had a houseguest. He was so nice, brought us dinner- PIZZA! haha Well, today we leave for our mini vacation. I'm going to try so so hard to work out since it is a pretty relaxing few days. I have been slacking in the workout department lately and the scale is showing it obviously
