Back in 1996, my dress was $350, off the rack. Alterations were $100 since I'm short and needed 4 inches off the bottom. My entire wedding was $1300.

Congrats and praying for healthy, bouncy baby in 9 months.

They did! I found out about it here.
I went to check it out right after I posted that and before reading the rest of the quotes. I was quite impatient :lol:. They're full to overflowing it seems. Oh well. Thanks for sharing the info! I'll just have to keep checking the boards more often.

How do all of you keep learning of all these programs etc to even apply to be beta testers? I always hear about them after people have been selected so too late to apply. There seems to be several programs/items lately people have posted that they have applied to beta test.
Share the knowledge, people. Good grief, I am always the last to know the fun stuff.:tongue_smilie:

Hi, I'm back and I made it through Lent. I am never giving this board up for Lent again though. Taking a break made me realize just how much of a support system this board is.
so....
What did I miss.....?

There you are! Welcome back! I'm not fully caffeinated yet so I have no clue what you missed. I can't remember waking up today.

We own two properties - the house we live in now and a rental property.
The rental property went up for sale in November. Finally a few weeks ago we get an offer and accept it. The buyer is paying without financing so closing was done in just a week. The day before closing we find out that the title company who we used when we bought the land the home is on messed up on the legal description. The title is void. So now they have to find the original sellers and see if they will sign a new deed thing. If they cannot find them, we have to advertise nationally for six months and pay roughly 2k. Of course the seller will walk before too much longer. We are waiting to hear if they find the original sellers. : (
My dh moved to his new job in Ohio last November. We are in Florida (me and the children). This house isn't ready to be put up for sale. We were hoping that we could just buy a house up there once the rental property sold then put this one up after we leave.
Renting up there while we wait would be challening - 8 children, 2 grand-children, my huband and I, and three dogs, cat, and two birds. I'm just numb at this point. Don't know if the rental property will sell or not. Don't know when to get this one ready (hard to get a house ready for sale with so many living in it)..etc.
bleh.
Praying for you and sending you lots of :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:.

Could use some prayers...we've had showings, but no offers. Two houses in our school district and price range (one of which had granite countertops) sold in the interim. I'm stressed. We have been pinching every penny for years. We need our cushion to pay for the actual move. We have until about May 1st to get the house under contract if we want closing to happen before dh's apartment lease in the new town is up. We really can't pay for two residences. I don't know what we'll do at that point. We could take a loss on the house, of course. And might have to. Our window is tight. But that means who knows how long of renting and not unpacking and no garden and...I've done that before, you know? Twice. I feel like most of the kids' childhood has been living in a rental with our belongings packed in boxes in the garage.
I keep rooting you all on. I'd feel so validated if I saw one of you under contract.
Praying for you! I know that feeling of living in boxes all too well with my kids.

Today we signed with a new realtor. Whew! I am SO glad that old realtor is behind us. Hindsight is 20/20, and as we find out more and look back over the last few months, we realize we should have fired her long ago. But, that is over and done with.
I'm SO excited about the new realtor. She immediately *got* our house. It needs a big family, possibly multi-generational family, someone who isn't looking for bells-and-whistles and bling. It was such a relief. We have a few things to work on and cleaning to do like re-washing the windows and then it should be on the market next week. YAY.
Yay for the new realtor!!!! Sounds like she is already working harder for you. Woop!

Inspection went well! I think....I just read through the report, and it SOUNDS terrifying...but when we were actually there talking to the guy he did not sound alarmed. Nothing we didn't know about other than minor things here and there. He referred to the attic as "phenomenal," which sounds like a pretty good thing. I'm not sure I've ever had a phenomenal attic before.
Great news! And congrats on the updated kitchen in your current house. I know that's a relief to have that done. Link the pics if you get a chance. I'd love to see it. I love black kitchen cabinets.

Our house went on the market last Mondday and we went under contract on Saturday. We're in shock, but very thankful. Now we're hoping everything goes ok with the inspection and financing, and trying to figure out where we go from here. Positive thoughts for all of you, April is the month...
Congrats!!!!! WOoohooo!!!!!!

Praying for you two ladies. With my 4th, I had what you described for 2 weeks. My doctor kept telling me to drink lots of water since dehydration can sometimes trigger it. It was extremely painful. My 4th came 2 days before her c-section date.

Wow, do you get this through customer service at Target? Does it require a credit check? I really don't want a "hit" on my credit for a debit card, kwim?
Not for the debit card (that I know of). Take a cancelled check with you to the customer service desk to sign up. They will give you a temp receipt/card to use until your card comes in about 5-7 business days.

I love my Target debit card. It usually takes 5-7 business days for the charge to go through. I have no idea why. My MIL even signed up for one once she realized it's a debit and not a credit card.

I am so sorry for your loss. Many, many hugs and prayers to you. I am praying for you.

Thanks for the tip! I'm doing that today. Woot!

sounds like a big week for home improvement!
DH and the kids are in CA this week. I spent all day Monday and Tuesday painting cabinets. They go back up with their shiny new hardware today, after the counter guy finishes putting in the butcher block. And at some point I need to get the new backsplash in. It's going to look awesome. I like it better than my new kitchen, actually (the new kitchen is very nice, with higher end cabinets and granite and all that; it's just not what I would have picked, you know?). Maybe I won't leave!
Suddenly, even before the official price drop or the pictures of the new kitchen go up, we have lots of interest. We have three showings lined up...our agent's been putting everyone off a couple of days until the kitchen is put back together. I know this is the right thing to do, but it makes me nervous. What if they find other houses TODAY and never come look at mine?!
You rock! Painting your own cabinets...THAT deserves a milk shake, lady! I did that once in my younger, wilder days and can't imagine doing it again (granted, the drunk roommate spilling paint probably contributes to the bad memory more than anything else).
May your new painted cabinets send a contract with the Easter bunny.

House selling is not for the faint of heart. As I reread new posts from last week, I am reminded that patience is a virtue and I've got not much left.
Our realtor had our foyer parquet flooring replaced with tile and it was done beautifully. We had lots of missing wood pieces so it had to go or we risked lawsuits by people looking at the house. The painters are supposed to be finished but haven't. And they've left lots of paint splatters on the floor. Thankfully it's vintage terrazzo so it should clean up quick. We had hoped to have it on the market this weekend but now I'm not sure. We may end up having to pay another contractor to finish the painting and clean the paint splatters.
I'm am so glad to hear others are seeing activity on their homes. Every little bit of good news is good!

Me!!! I gave the kids some allergy liquid last night. They've been suffering with it the past month and I've been fighting giving them meds. But we all need sleep so they were medicated. At least they all slept. But then they were all awake and staring at me at 4:30 this morning.

Hubby wears his. I took mine off several years ago when I was doing more yoga and lost enough weight to where it didn't fit anymore. With yo-yo dieting and pregnancies over the past 6 years, it finally started fitting again after 3rd child. Then ds2 decided to wear it and lost it somewhere in our house. I thought we'd find it when we moved last fall but no dice. DH wants to get a new one anyway so we're looking to get new matching bands this summer for our anniversary.

2004 Sienna here. Highway- low 20's. About 17/18 in town.
Same here. Love it. Will get another Sienna when this one is left ravaged by our over-loving it.

Since a few other people posted tehy have depression, I will say I deal with that too, but it never entered my mind as a difficulty or issue when I initially responded to this thread. It is there. I monitor it and deal with it when it flares. It is more seasonal anyway now that I am done having kids.
I am not a people person, it is not due to a Dx or anything, I just don't like people very much. I don't like social conventions, I don't get them usually. I look forward to becoming a hermit in the woods when my kids are grown. Those things aren't difficulities, or issues etc It is just a part of who I am, and have always been, so I didn't consider any of those things, though someone else might.
Same here. Now that I'm done with pregnancies, the depression isn't as debilitating. And I don't like people all that much, except the ones in my house. People don't believe me when I tell them I'm going to be a hermit as soon as the youngest goes off to college/life. I've already got a nice duplex on quiet street a couple of blocks from the beach in a will-not-be-named beach town in FL. A fellow hermit has already agreed to live in the other side. We can still be friends without having to interact.
