La Amada will make you holla!
We might have, maybe, possibly found a resort! YAH!
Check it out if ya want to.....www.laamadahotel.com
It looks super fancy, which we are not, but what the hey it's not like we're white trash or nothin. Right Ya'll? I totally wear shoes to Wal-Mart now. Every Time.
Skie is wonderful and irritating all in the same breath. It's just not fair he is so good at everything. Ok not everything, I don't recall one time his dirty socks have made it the hamper immediately after removal. But....he is good at finding resorts online. I've been stressing about finding a place, and he stayed up until 4 am Monday night researching. He found two great places actually, and the other one is somewhat still in the running but they haven't gotten back to me on prices. Check it out: www.hotellereve.com
Le Reve is cool because it only has 25 rooms, so we could rent the whole place to ourselves! How fun! And, although there is only one restaurant we could basically order whatever we want. Some of our peeps have strict diet restrictions. Con of Le Reve, we think/hope more than 50 people can come! The guest list is just about 150, and Skie hasn't looked at it yet. But, the other side of that is there is a nice resort just a quick 5 minute walk down the beach. Not that big of a deal. We hope it isn't too expensive.
I can't wait to move on from this, and make some STD's!!
I already have the ones I want picked out on Etsy. I won't show you though because then it won't be a fun surprise! I also have the invitations I want on Etsy. :)
I wonder if it is appropriate to send some people one type of invite and other people a fancier version. I don't know if we can afford 150 of the ones I really, really want.
Hmm....so many etiquette questions.
I am *hopefully* going wedding dress shopping on Saturday! YAH!
We have four places booked, but I might have to cancel one of them. It is too many in one day!
My mom is coming down, my ex-roommate will go, and my other friend Alice (who BTW is the most adorable preggo ever! Well after Kat and Anne, obvi!)

Just Jokes
Dirty DR is a no-go :(
But Mexico is back in! :)
Oh the bittersweet......
Someone (not to mention any names, but we know a munchkin with the same name....) has family that are not big traveler's so had a small (read: huge, and decisively stated they would not go) reaction to Mexico initially. After realizing it is the best country to have a destination wedding, agreed it wasn't so dangerous after all.
Back to the resort drawing board now. Which is stressful, time consuming, and exhausting. Did I mention stressful? The goal was to have the Save-The-Dates (or STDs as the forums call them, hehe) out by the time we leave for Seattle in June. Yeah, probs not happenin
Oh well. We will just renovate the bathroom.
Seriously we are redoing the bathroom. Just because life isn't quite busy enough.
(Pictures to come)
The good thing about the bathroom is because we only have one shower, we have to get away for the weekend AT THE BEACH! It's a sacrifice, but I can manage.
I think I have the resort thing narrowed down to about 3. Just to get the fiance to sit down and look at them. Maybe tonight between going to Lowe's for the bathroom stuff, playing a soccer game, packing, and cooking dinner I can show him. Seems unlikely, but a girl can dream.

Unofficially Official
Not going to Dominican Republic now. I know, I know we are all going to miss having a 7-10 hour flight, but it's not going to happen. It looks like Mexico is the winner! Which is great because that is where Skie and I wanted to go all along, but there are some people in my life who watch a bit too much Fox "News" and believed we would all be killed by scary men with guns. The Mayan Riviera is super safe tourist region. We are going to be fine.
After looking around said "people in my life" were suddenly on board.
DR is 7 hours minimum from DFW, and there are many 24 hour flights from Seattle if anyone happens to come from there.....
Jamaica resorts just don't do it for me, and they are pricey! We don't love that.
So Mexico won! Now to pick a resort...... This is really simple it takes about 30 minutes per resort to research the first time, and there are only about 1,157,489 resorts. No big deal.
