Hi everyone!! Congrats to Candi on being the new CL!
I have the day off today because I have grading to do, but of course I want to take a break right now.
DF is organizing my garage...essentially forcing me to relook at things and throw it out. I don't know why I hold onto purses once I get a new one because I never, ever use them again. I've got French books I've never read (because they're in boxes in the garage). This weekend I threw away my wedding scrap book. I never completed it so I just tossed it. If it was completed I would have given it to my DD when she was older, but otherwise, who cares? My garage fits three cars, but right now there's so much junk that it fits one. Moving in is a big, big project...because it's about making room before he moves in.
yesterday we went to look at wedding rings for him...he likes this platinum square, kind of wide. I like it, too. I love my engagement ring, but I"m not excited about the band that comes with it...I would like to wear my engagement ring on the right hand and get a matching band for my left ring.
clothing...we've gotten the girls taken care of, but now we have to take care of the boys...no tuxes or suits on the beach...but I did want something coordinated for pictures. I think i'm getting white flowers or pink flowers (the most traditional I've seen) but we're all wearing white. He's going to wear a long sleeve linen shirt with a T underneath and khakis. I'll try to find the same for DS. He found this really nice Liz Claiborne linen shirt, but I prefer all white for portraits. He's going to wear that for the 'rehearsal dinner'.
We're talking a lot about the dinner. The invite says we're having the reception at home, but he really feels that we should take people out if they came to the island. I really was upset because I didn't want a reception. I wanted dinner for two and a wedding night, not socializing for hours on end. So we're taking everyone out to dinner the night before. He wants to book this fantastic restaurant...which is where I've been saying the entire while that I want to have dinner after the wedding. The other option is to have a catered dinner on the beach..the hotel can provide that and that would be very special indeed.

I couldn't find anything online that looked like my dress...it's ivory strapless, pretty simple.
That's the end of my break!

Woman, you sound bUSY! And it sounds like it will be a wonderful wedding. The beach thing appeals to me, too. And white linen, very sharp!
We will want pictures, you know! :)
Thanks for filling us in

When is the big date!!!!
I am SOOOO jealous of your hawaiian wedding, but THRILLED for you. It's been such a joy to watch you go down the road.
Your ring is perfectly lovely. I like that style a lot.
And I MUST have some of that chocolate souffle. OMG. That looks like heaven.
How do you manage to do it all and keep sane? I'm going to be really, really busy with helping my fiance move in AND working AND taking a class AND getting married this semester. Oh yeah. parenting, too.
CONGRATULATIONS!! And wow!!
I love the Hawaiin beach shots. Your ring is beautiful. And the photographer in very good taste.
Your moving story is good, too. Keep throwing stuff out!! hahaha....
Keep us posted with many photographs and stories. Don't hesitate to ask if you want opinions - I would vote for the caterout on the beach - it is so easy!!
What is your special date? How did he propose? How did you two meet?
Tell us more!!
I love everything! I'm so thrilled for you guys! It's coming together VERY nicely!
We have a Roy's here in Vegas - - - - soooooooooo good!
