Awesome wedding picture Lisa! (I'm reading posts newest to oldest this time). I haven't gotten to what you originally posted yet though... You look like you are having a blast!

 

[elaineteresa]

yes the kids are coming too - mine are little and I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them behind. DMIL (85) is the one I am more worried about.

I think we will try and do some work beforehand learning about Mayan sites. I love those big Toltec images.

I promise I won't let them bug you. although they are very chatty.

OMG!!
Lisa---how can you see a brunch if you have one booked? I've tried looking daoly at Palo for tea and nothing comes up.

You can't. I don't have one booked which is the only reason I was checking. I just passed along the info. Glad that a couple people were able to get in.

I came home today to our pool pebble tec'ed -- in the wrong color. It was supposed to be (pirates of the) Caribbean blue and it is GREY. PMG if we wnated that color we would have gone with reg marcite and had some nice mosaic decorations in it.....

So when are they ripping that out to correct it?

also a bill on my door for the electric (moved underground) mind you DH dug the entire path for the burial, we paid the elec co for the pvc pipes (had to) and DH laid all the pipes and covered. We did get a new fuse box but the bill was $3650!! I was so not expecting that!

Then my afternoon was spent out our "new gym facility" (hasn't opened yet)run under the hospital it is a gym, rehab center, state of the art fitness yadda yadda yadda. These people were trying to tell me that credit card machines can't be settled without access to managerial levels, etc....and although we, as a hospital are NFP, this will be FP and they are trying to use our tax exempt status. Since I also handle the taxes, I have huge issues with that.All in all a headache.

YIKES!

now it is POURING!

The Heavens just opened up here too and the ground is being attacked by the rain.

Brandi - that is so great - it sounds like you had a wonderful time and a good renewal time. You should thank the bride for getting you alone time and big girl time. I hope she is having a fun honeymoon.

Here is my BF and the happy/beautiful bride:

This is me. I am wearing this dress for formal night on the cruise.

Two beautiful ladies!

 

[lbgraves]

Lisa, I knew you were really cinderella all the time. Now that you have posted your pictures, everyone knows! Beautiful!! and Fun!!! So you!!!

Kim

I did feel like a princess that day. Everything was so perfect....until...well, my BIL & a couple "friends" did something really stupid that almost ruined the end of the reception.

Sad thing, I didn't realize that it had started to rain here as well. I thought it was the airconditioner. Then I just checked my weather widget to see if rain was falling in it.

Kids aren't going to bug me. Silly girl! I wouldn't leave mine behind either in a foreign country.

I was just courious.

DH, DD and I are really looking forward to the visit!

 

[Bella2000]

aha - are you red in your buddy list because you just signed on? Kim - did you just sign on?

 

[lbgraves]

..... and a couple of Tarheels to boot!

I had better speak up for the Hokies!

Can someone explain why something like that is always the case??

 

[kimerinc]

Did I say that Amy likes chocolate dipped bananas?

She does . . .

John I just have to say I have no response to that.

This is Kim getting sewn into her dress. We had a minor problem. This was after we calmed her down. She was freaking out about 5 min prior to this moment. The sewer was her photographer. She is also the daughter of a seamstress and can sew herself!

OY! This brings back memories! OY BOY! I didn't find out until the next morning but my very best friend lived in TX and came to town a week early so that the seamstress could make any adjustments to the dress that was made for her based on measurements she sent her. The dress didn't fit well so she did alot of pinning at that fitting. Apparently when she got dressed at the Church, it didn't fit much better and the other girls had to pin her into the dress with safety pins. They never let me know anything was wrong.

Now I am on a photo kick...Here is my baby...Eliza was having fun in the basket.

This is my son Jake...this was his first day of preschool

I lied to the bride a little bit. I thought it was my job as her matron of honor to keep her calm and clueless! She thought that just the hook broke and we were sewing it back on...nope. She had over an inch sewn up the back. We never told her. She called me on Sunday to ask about the dress. I told John (her DH) at the reception that she was sewn into it and that she didn't really know. She said she was shocked when he went for scissors!
