Y'all want to hear more about Savannah eh? Well no sil didn't work the whole time, but she did pick a very crucial time to forget that we needed to get in line over at Paula Deen's place. First thing Thursday morning, she's poking away on her computer as I'm eating breakfast. She still has to shower, etc. I said, well, its 9:15 and we need to be at The Lady & Sons in a few minutes to get our reservations. Oh yeah she says, I forgot! So, she goes and takes her shower and I go get in line at TL&S. The line is down the street and I'm a bit worried about getting a ressie, but the staff there is great in that they send out about four or five people who cut the line into segments and they start taking reservations. We got in a 7:00 p.m. I walk back to the hotel and we decide just do a self-guided walking tour thanks to my Frommer's Guide.
We toured several grand homes and WOW, what a way to live. Although life wasn't that easy then given the lack of running water, plumbing, etc. SIL and I figure that these people probably really didn't smell all that good. They showered occasionally and the clothes they wore were extremely heavy, and I'm pretty sure Secret didn't exist back then.
The town is full of young people and dogs! There is an art & design school there called SCAD and these kids rock. They are very resourceful, have lots of energy and have restored nearly 70 buildings in the area. Savannah is very aware and respectful of its past. They honor just about everyone! Revolutionary War, Civil War, War of 1812 and Span/American War. The Irish, the Scots, and even a Jewish Memorial. They are a very open minded city and gay/lesbian couples were seen quite often in a very relaxed manner, which I feel is extremely cool. No one gives two toots what your "thing" is. Everyone is just there to have fun. Savannah is very different than the rest of Georgia with its strict Baptist religion. It is a very progressive, open minded town, drinks are plentiful and fun is encouraged. The cab driver told us... In Atlanta, they ask what you do. In Charleston, they ask who you know, but in Savannah, all they ask is what do you like to drink! You gotta love a town like that.
Even if you aren't much of a "drinker", the sweet tea flows in every restarurant and cafe! Its a very common beverage choice. Sugar buzz city. So, there's something for everyone there!
Honestly, I would like to go back and take my dog! This is a dog town! Dogs everywhere! All these friendly four legged creatures enjoying the squares and the shade! Walking along the river front. Every shop had baskets of doggie treats for your pooch! Gotta love it!!

They announced to the kids all the activities at each table and when they got to the volcano table all the kids yelled YEAH!!!! So when they said the kids could go do the various activities MORE THAN HALF of them RAN to the volcano table!!! It was hillarious!! I was like ATTACK OF THE MIDGETS!!!
Have fun with the planning, and I hope everything works out for you, whatever typeof wedding you choose 
I can't believe it's time for flowers - I love buying flowers 
My mom and I are going on Wednesday to buy out flats - I can hardly wait!!!!!!
Plate deposit, delivery fee...I also had my first real wedding nightmare last night...df saw me before the ceremony, we forgot the rings, and by the time we got back with them, it was raining! I remember thinking, in my dream, I'll bet I have lots more of these!
If she continues, hopefully as your son matures, he will be able to see this in a different light, and see her for who she is, and not blame himself. But, these things are more easily said than done, especially when emotions are involved. i can relate to your son being "returned". A few months ago, dd's dad "returned" her on his weekend with her. He said she wasn't behaving, nothing worked (time outs, etc), and she wasn't allowed to come back until she wrote an apology note. he said she was ruining his weekend with ds- so ds got to stay and she was returned! I was furious! He is not her dad only when she's good, kwim? A few days later, he caled and apologized to me and to her, but that is something a 6 year old will never forget. So, anyway, I feel your pain!
he told me to keep looking into it while he emails everyone in his family. I told him I didn't want to do it if the people he wants there wont go. Also, I said I don't want to keep looking into something and get my heart set on it when it most likely won't happen. He knows though that my heart is already set. Toward the end of the conversation he said he guessed it really didn't matter to him, all that mattered was that he wants me to have my dream wedding and he knows that anything here won't live up to it. so we will see what happens.... i'm still looking at halls this weekend with my Dsis.
