Is this gonna work? I am new at this new thread business...

We did have fun, and then sat at the lake (that runs through the mall) and watched drunk people on gondalas, and watched the sun set. I took some pics, I'll post when I get home.

I HEAR A COUNTDOWN. Let me know when it's 100% official so I can book tickets. Oh, and let us know dates we're suppose to come for.

when did you do that? I'm confused. did i miss a post??

I will make it official once I sign the contract with the venue and the church and my future brother in law aka best man aka college proffesor says that he will be free on May 15th. For right now it's up in the air on whether it's gonna be May 15th or late April because both venues i like are both booked on the following Saturday in May.

Last night for our 2 year anniversary, we went to a nice dinner at the Bridgestreet Mall, which is an outdoor mall.

Happy Anniversary Laura!! (a day late)

Happy belated Laura, I thought of you yesterday when dating files!!! Hope you had a great one! And that the love is as strong as it was 2 years ago!

Happy, Happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Back to the inlaws for Rick to finish their car. Thinking I will take him something to eat as a hint to them that they could have at least fed him.....grrrrrr.

I am hovering between 1.5 and 2 pounds towards my 5 for the month. I might make it.....we'll see!!!

BBL Oh yeah I am on vacation next week, Dr is going to be in Nigeria.....

Back from our shift at the hospital and it was kind of a slow night. So we got to leave a little early. While we were there one of the regular girls is on vacation and so they brought in the part time lady. She put in her notice and will be quiting in the next 2 weeks. So the supervisor was in the dept. and they were going over the schedule and talking about hiring someone to take the place of the girl leaving. Well, you guessed it. She asked me if I would be interested in the job and she was serious about it. I laughed at first till I realized that she meant it. Hubby wasn't in the room when all of this was going on and all I could think of is that he's just going to $#%& his pants. And he just about did. After the shock of it he asked me what I thought. I have a lot to think about. Alot to think about.

Michelle, I hope you had a wonderful day.

Good evening, Violets.

Had a pretty good day today. I didn't sing for the chapel service, but did for the special occasion at the Library. My voice came out as a bass..... no NOT the fish..... but everyone seemed to like it and that's what counts.

I'm going to head to bed early again tonight and see if I can get a better night's sleep. I couldn't stop coughing last night. Ethan comes at noon and my swimming pool is FIXED and heated to 86 so we'll be doing some swimming!! I've missed doing my water exercises.

Michelle.. I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Roomie!!

Suzie... another Violet with a new job?! Is it something that you enjoy doing? Can you still do your Curves job? Sorry the Tigers beat your guys again.

Haydee, I've been looking at wedding dresses online. Makes me think back to when Kris got her dress. We found it online and she loved it. It only had to have a minor alteration. We got a lot of her things online and that was the joke during the wedding ceremony. Bob asked her where she got her dress.. online, where did you get your gloves?... online.. where did you get your flowers?.... online.. and where did you get Nathan?? hahaha

I see that Heather posted some pictures on Facebook. Sure wish she'd post in here again. I don't know if she received the gifts I sent her. No word from her at all. ;o((

Just got a call from Joe and Ethan comes at 8 instead of noon, so I better head to bed and try and get some sleep. Coughing kept me from a good night's sleep last night plus the fact that I was worried I wouldn't be able to sing today. I had thought I'd have to read the words while the music played, but luckily I had enough voice to pull it off.

Everyone have a good evening. Sleep well.

I got almost everything online for my wedding too. The jewelry, shoes, tiara, lingerie, candles, tux, etc... I was going to get my dress online (oh man I was so in love, if I can find it again I'll show you Haydee.. it had long bell sleeves, ivory, and looked renaissancey but also looked hella expensive, whatever designer it is we don't have here!!) till we swapped to a last minute wedding, then I had to get what was on the rack at David's Bridal, and I was a bit bummed because I was post-surgery by a few months and had hoped to miraculously NOT be in a size 26 at my wedding.. oh well.

That was easier to find than I thought. This one just made me melt.. wah.

It's MarysBridal.com, I browsed the dresses last year, they are awesome.

First here is the gorgeous stitching Jane did, I had it matted & framed, matches his nursery perfect!!

Here's the lake outside the restaurant..

And here's the gondolas..

And us :smile2:

The yum cake..

And us lovin' on our baby on our 2nd anniversary!

Laura, loved the pics. And the picture from Jnae was to precious.

Judy, I agree. I wish Heather would check in here. I also sent a gift and have no idea if she received it or a neighbor did.

She's been posting in the pregnancy section and on Facebook.

Good Morning, Violets..

Ethan has arrived so my day is busy. The pool is warmed up and ready so we'll spend some time in there today.

Laura.. the dress looks beautiful! But then again, the one you got looked beautiful too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAMELA!!!:thumbup::Banane20::Banane20:

Good morning everyone!

I LOVE that dress Laura! SO gorgeous! The pic of ya'll kissing carson is priceless!

Went to the gym yesterday...thank God. Plan on going again in a little while.

Judy-hope your cough is better soon!

Suzie-any decisions on the job?

Have a great day everyone!! Respect the pouch!

Jane-love the stitch thingy you made for Carson! CUTE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAMELA!!! :thumbup:

Hi Girls!!

Kids are sleeping and Evan brought his laptop so I'm killing time.

So much to catch up on already!!

Haydee - I absolutely LOVE this last dress you posted!! It is stunning and I think it would be gorgeous on you!! I don't even think you'd have to add any sleeves at all. The only reservation I have is that it looks extremely heavy and after two hours in it you'd be exhausted carrying it around....but man, is it beautiful! So my 2nd choice is the lace-up back dress. BTW, I too think you should exclude Juan from any consultation on the dress!! LOL -- bad juju. Besides, you have beautiful taste all on your own and, most importantly, you'll be stunning no matter what dress you choose. I can't imagine in my wildest dreams that he would look at his bride coming down the aisle and think to himself, "EWWW!! That dress is YUCK!" He will be blown away -- I mean really, have you ever seen an UGLY wedding dress? They're all beautiful!

Kat - have things calmed down at work at all? Did they ever hire a receptionist?? We saw lots of bikers on the road yesterday and I thought of you and Rick....oh, so jealous of you two!!

Jennifer - Take it easy girlfriend! How's the Wellbutriin working for you? Good luck with your event this weekend, I'm sure it will be beautiful! What's the format for the memorial service -- who will be speaking? When I die that's kinda what I want -- just my friends getting together in a casual setting and having a GOOD time!! ...oh yeah, and saying all kinds of marvelous things about me too. LOL

Tracy - I hear yall had 105 degrees in houston yesterday! HA! na na na na na!! It's about 50 here right now. (sorry!...but I will have to come home sometime! )

Laura - Happy anniversary to you and Russell! I thought of you when I was writing the date on Tuesday. Enjoyed the pics, too -- ya'll are such a cute couple. I MISS CARSON! :thumbup:

Michelle - Happy birthday to you!!

suzie - Interesting decision you have to make!! What are the negatives/positives?

Judy - I missed it - did you ever get your pool up and running?

Janie - did you get your computer purged of the virus? That's so frustrating. I think for that reason alone I could never go back to a PC since I've had my Apple. No way.

We had a good trip in to Steamboat yesterday. We got upgraded on the rent car from an Impala to a SEQUOIA! We were so happy about that! We took the scenic route over Loveland Pass and the pic attached is taken from the top at 11,900' where we stopped to take pics. Hannah's girlfriend has never been to the mountains and she has been very fun to have along....as you can imagine she's is blown away by all of it! This is gonna be such a fun trip. Today we're just going to town and putz around town, do some shopping and eating, then this afternoon we're going to Fish Creek Falls which is real close and a short 1/4 mile hike. We can hike beyond that point if the kids want to -- it's all beautiful.

Well, I'll probably be checking in later -- ya'll have a great day!
