Hey Everyone,

Just got back from Hawaii! I had a great time with the family, I just wish Matt was there too, that way everyone I love the most would be under one roof. My happy thought is that by the next family vacation, I'll be taking my hubby with me!

While I've been away, the invites came in. While I'm happy they are here, I just got a wave of stress looking at them. It's going to be a lot of work getting them ready to ship out in  a few weeks, and knowing the people that will be invited, not everyone will be racing to send in the RSVPs. Which also made me think of the many follow ups I would have to make, addresses out of the country I would have to track down...the list goes on.

On a happier note, I've confirmed that my mom will be in town the weekend of October 9th so we can go dress shopping. I'm extremely happy she'll come to town and I can show her around. She can attend mass, meet Father Pat,  and if time permits I'll show her the quarter where the reception will be held. I kinda wish Aileen my maid of honor, Aknaris and Jessie my bridesmaids would be here too, so they can help me choose  something modern.  My mom isn't old fashioned, but knowing her she would pick a dress that isn't really that 2010 if you know what I mean.  The more I think about it, I should have picked a dress in New York, and had it sent here that way I could have other opinions from some of my best friends in the world..... ah well what's done is done. I'm sure momma and I will do just fine and pick a lovely dress that I'll wear when I marry my soul mate, and have a great weekend in New Orleans.  

Time to apply some aloe to my extremely tan self.

Aloha!
