Hi Steph!





*dancin'*

Hey Betty

 

[mpoppins76]

Hi Steph!!!

Hey Nibbs

 

[Disnut]

I'll help watch Richard Gere for you....

Isn't he good looking? Yummy

 

[mpoppins76]

Guys, I'm so upset with Df right now...

 

[mpoppins76]

It looks like we're going to have to miss Christmas this year because he was irresponsible and wasted the rest of his days off to stay home & play Xbox. I kept telling him he was going to run out of days and not have enough left for Christmas and he always said it was ok and he had plenty. Wellll, I was right and he doesn't have enough left. :brick: He only has Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday.
We figured this out a few weeks ago and he was supposed to be talking to his boss about trying to get an extra day or two but kept putting it off, putting it off. Finally today he promised he'd do it, so I emailed him every hour this morning to remind him. His boss said no anyway that he can't give people extra days.
Well, the flights are almost $500 per person and I just don't think we can afford $1000 just to go for 4 days and not even have time to do any of our wedding errands. I'm just upset because he knew how important this trip was planning-wise...and I only get to see my family twice a year anyway. And this is going to be the last Christmas in my Grandma's old house...my Grandpa is finally going to sell it, it's just too much house for him.

Could you possibly go there without him for a couple of days, so you'd at least get some family time out there?

That's what I was thinking. It stinks being without him, but maybe that would be the only choice.

Thanks, girls. The problem is, that we REALLY need to see a few of our vendors this trip. We'll only be back one other time, in July. We really need to figure out the ceremony capacity problem and look into outdoor venues and July will be too late. And with the weekend, then the holiday, there's no days that he can be there to do it.
If he would just listen to me.... *sigh*

I suppose I could stay a few days at the end and do it alone, but...I mean we're supposed to be doing this together. :veryconfu

well, yes, you are supposed to be doing this together, but (secretly) it is mostly your planning that matters. Take him with you on the most important vendor errands and then the ones that can be put to if he's not with you, do those after he goes. July really is too late to wait, unless you planned a short weekend trip sometime before that.

I know it will hard to be away from him, but since he did not get the days off on time, I would definitely go by myself. Family time is MAJORLY important to me. We aren't married yet, but this year I am going home for Christmas seperately and Damon is going to his family's. I just don't know how we will compromise holidays because I am way selfish when it comes to going home to see my fam.

Look, I don't mean to sound like a pig here... but... that whole planning together thing.. that is the LAST thing I would think a woman really wants. I mean do you REALLY want a man helping plan this?

Yeah, my sister will be home from California. Maybe her & my mom can go along.

Thanks, Katy. :kiss: I know, it just stinks because he knows how important (and slim) time w/ my family is to me. Especially this time of year. And especially when my family was planning on throwing a mini-engagement celebration since we'll all be there.

He has a point there Steph (on the top of his head.....)

Just kidding, you're right, I know.


OK, Pity Party is officially over!!!

:lol: That's not piggish, that's truthful! :lol:

I did the major planning for our wedding, but asked him what he thought about certain things. He didn't help me pick the cake, had no idea what the flowers looked like. Actually, I don't think he actually had much imput, now that I think about it. He just showed up...:lookaroun

Yeah, my sister will be home from California. Maybe her & my mom can go along.

I think that's a good idea. Your mom and sis would probably enjoy it more than Adam would anyway.
