Rent vs buy is always a tough one. There are still a lot of costs that get "thrown away" when you buy, too, that you have to consider. You could try checking out rent vs buy calculators that are out there on the web that can help see which makes more sense for you right now.

Here's my fav. It's from Bethenny Frankel. Seriously every recipe of hers I've ever made has been fantastic! Here's her recipe for guilt-free fries. Ingredients 4 baking potatoes cut into wedges (leave skin on) 4 teaspoons olive oil 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika = 4 servings of French…

I'm a huge fan of bikram. I was already in shape when I started doing it, but it changed my body like nothing else. I am so much more flexible now and my muscles are more defined, plus it has been helping me lose weight. But to really get the benefits of it, you have to go regularly, at least 10 times a month. The effects…

I think including them in your centerpieces is a great call. That way you still get to have them, plus I think they look fantastic when incorporated into centerpieces! Yes PLEASE do! Can't wait to see it. I LOVE that we're dress twins. :love:

Thanks for the advice! Very good to know. Now that I think of it, I have seen hydrangeas in a bouquet before that totally wilted. I love peonies too so I think your flowers will look amazing! Haha, yeah I thought the same thing about your shoes when I was looking at them! I'm strongly considering wearing Carolina blue…

Brides on a Mission: week 10 1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Only 0.5 pounds. Feel like I should be losing more since I’ve gotten much better with my eating and have been working out like a madwoman but I will still take it. Plus I can tell my body is looking better so I know I should just focus more on that than the…

Sending you all the good thoughts in the world and hope get some answers at the MD today. <hugs>

I absolutely love bikram! I've been going since April of last year and it has really changed my body and my mind. I am so much more flexible now and am better at dealing with stressful situations. Yes the room is extremely hot, and some people hate it and just want to run out screaming, but if you give it a chance you can…

Brides on a Mission: week 8 1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Lost .5lb 2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Went snowboarding on Saturday after being ready to give up on the whole thing last time I went. Glad I got back out on the mountain and overcame my fear of failing…

OMG Shannon, sounds like we have very similar situations. I was the EXACT same way...super gracious and positive about it on the phone, but as soon as I hung up I just started bawling. Yes it's very disappointing but I try to think that all of these things happen for a reason, and at the end of the day the most important…

Yeah and I'm still hoping it works out that she can make it so I think I'm going to ask her to still be a bridesmaid jic she is able to make it. I have 3 sisters, so I think I'm going to ask my oldest to be MOH now. Hopefully she's okay with being the 2nd person I ask. :)

YES! I am obsessed. I never watched them before i got engaged, and now I have them all on my DVR. Four Weddings is a hot mess and I love it. Plus they do give me ideas from time to time. Unfortunately we don't get the We channel here. I'm always trying to change the channel to Bridezillas just to get the message that I…

That was me last week, too, so I can relate! Just trying to learn from the times I said no, and putting the "caving" moments in the past. :)
-
Yes! That's awesome you've got your FH on board. I agree, it will help when it's right in front of his face. No avoiding it for him! And I think it will be so much better if it's something you two are doing together. That's great for motivation and accountability.

We're playing soccer! LOL We play on a co-ed indoor team on Monday nights so we have a game on V-day. But still should be fun, and we'll probably have a couple beers with the team afterwards. My FH is definitely one of thoes in the "it's a made up holiday" camp. And while I don't disagree with him, you also can't just…

Had to post a pic of my venue, too :) We're overlooking the water but not on the beach, which is exactly what we wanted. Hopefully the weather will be like it is in the picture, too!

I really love Weddingbee.com. It's all fellow brides blogging on there and most of them share what they've done DIY, how they did it and how much it cost. Be careful though, it's easy to get addicted to it. :)
