Re: Five Things Friday
1. I woke up this morning and totally thought it was Saturday. I was really ticked at myself for setting my alarm for that early on a weekend.
2. Then I realized what day it really was...and I've been sad about it every since.
3. I know I should be glad it's Friday but I'm still annoyed that I had to go to work.
4. I think I need a bigger umbrella. It was a very wet walk to and from the bus stop this morning.
5. We're going to see U2 on Sunday! They're my favorite band and I'm SO EXCITED!!!
1. DH grandpa did not make it and passed away early this morning
2. In a way, I am relieved because he was 99yrs old and in pain.
3. I feel like we just cant catch a break lately.
4. We have a weekend full of stuff to do away from the house and I am happy about that.
5. I've been so anxious to get out of the house and do things.
1. in 6.5hours, I'll be on vacation for 10 days!!! woot woot
2. We aren't going anywhere & have a long list of to-do's that i'm hope we get done.
3. I'm trying to convince DH to take me to the fireworks on monday. He knows that I LOVE the detroit fireworks but he's never home for them, i doubt it will happen, but i'm going to keep pushing.
4. Last night I went to bed early (for me- 11pm) because i was just exhausted... but i ended up waking up at 2am & 5am to pee, then my alarm went off at 6:30. Needless to say i'm not well rested.
5. my boobies are a little sore today and I really hope that is a good sign (but it could also be the progesterone i'm taking).

I'm very sorry for your loss.
This might be too far out for you Sheila, but there's a place in Ann Arbor that might work well (I did my trash the dress photos there). It's called Parker Mills, off of Geddes Rd. There are a few older buildings, a bridge, a pretty field with wild flowers and such, and lots of nature trails.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look in to it. AA isn't far from me at all.
BFP#2: 8/14/11 M/C 8/30/11 6w1d
BFP #3: 10/26/11
Beta #1 @11dpo: 22 Beta #2 @13dpo: 90 Beta #3 @17dpo: 480
Missed m/c 12w3d 12/28/11, d&c 12/30/11

Good Luck! Hopefully it is your lucky month

#5. I feel the same way a lot too. Do you have to lay low after Chloe's incident or have you just not gotten out? I wanted to go to McDonald's for lunch yesterday but DH ended up coming home for lunch so I ate at home. Then we were going to walk to the park but it started raining.
Thanks Ritzy!
1. Thank you!
2. No, we just havent had the chance to get out. Everyone that calls usually just wants to talk more about it and I am over talking about it. I just need to get out and keep my mind clear.
1. I am still waiting to get the final green light from the place I want to book my wedding and reception. http://www.baypointeinn.com/weddings.php
2. Regardless, I just landed the photographer of my dreams. I am literally DYING inside with excitement. http://www.acarrollphotography.com/ All I have to do is get a date from #1, and I can finalize with Amy. Soooo excited!!!!!!!
3. I grew impatient of waiting today and called #1 again and talked to the girl. She indicated that they were in meetings all day yesterday, but that she was about to put together dates and packages for me, and would have something to me today. This sounds promising!!!! I mean, if they were going to say no, you would think she just would have said no.
4. I am, at this moment, hopped up on wedding planning like it's crack.
5. Once I get this location nailed down, I will have a talk with future SIL. She will have a very short time frame to be nice and work with me. Then I am sending my checks in. Hi-oooooooo!!!!!!!
**Edit: Finally got an email from them. They said they will let me book if I have a minimum of 50 adults (1 more than my current prelim list, so not a problem), and an extra $300 rental fee for the reception area. I tried calling FI. He didn't answer. He missed his chance for input (not that it would have mattered. lol). I sent her an email saying I would agree and asked her for the contract and dates. Holy crapola!! This is actually happening!!!
