Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on October 14, 2011 at 8:59am: Oh I barely slept!!! I'm at the airport now, left my house at 645 am, will get to.Charleston at 3:30pm. It's gonna be a long morning. I'm so exciteddd!!! Everything seems to be working out. Grant cant pick me up from the airport but he can meet me where I check into our villa. I'm so excited! I wish my travel time was shorter, but we were on a budget and this was the cheapest flight. I'll appreciate my nonstop southwest flight all that much more in November. I can't wait to see him!!!! I wish I could call and talk.to him but I won't be able to, so I will just see him at 4

PS: I'm getting a new dorm room!!!! Yay!!!

Comment by corpsmanwifeschu on October 14, 2011 at 1:59am: Paula, the dress issue is hubby has something planned Friday when I get to SA but he's keeping it a secret. He told my mom and she took me dress shopping so I would have something to fit the occasion. I'll post pics when we get back. That's right, we. I get to bring my hubby home with me this time when I leave SA!!! Yay!!!!

LMNS, love the pics. You're daughter was a very beautiful bride.

Can't wait for your big day, Jess. Are you sleeping at all tonight?

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on October 13, 2011 at 7:03am: Happy Birthday to the Navy!

Comment by Lovemynavyson (Ship02/DIV933) on October 11, 2011 at 1:17pm: Oh Wow Jess, that is incredible! We've dealt with David's Bridal with both my sons and daugthers Bridesmaids gowns...we've not had any problems either! Bethany's dress did not need ONE alteration! It fit prefect...we just needed to have it busseled (however one does spell that word)!?!?!?

I was thinking about you yesterday and your upcoming wedding! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

I can't wait for Bethany's professional pictures either...my cousins daughter is a photographer, so that was a great blessing...I'm can't believe how everything came together so quickly!

Paula & Jess - thanks...yes, the wedding was absolutely beautiful..all the guys and gals looked so stunning...I was very pleased with how well the wedding went!

The nervous feeling...I'm not sure if Beth got it or not..she kept saying she was okay. Matthew did too, until the rehearsal...you could see it all over his face! It was so cute...

Thought this is not the way we would have choosen for things to go...we just couldn't be more please...I love watching Beth and Matt together...they are SO cute. It is obvious that he absolutely adores Bethany and for that we are so grateful. We were more than excited to welcome him into our family Saturday! I have a great son and daughter in law...Oh I got to spent alot of time with Stacy...she is SO SO much fun! Never dreamed my husband and I would have so of the 'funny' conversation we do with her and my son...they guess keep her guessing rather they are joking or telling the truth!!! It is sooooooooo funny....

Jess, Yeah...I can't wait to post a couple of the professions too! We went to the engagment location and the entire Bridal party was there...can't wait to see the pics with them all together...the colors were so great together and wen't so well with the gowns and tuxs! Be praying for you to have strenght and courage as you face your roommates and a confidence...

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on October 11, 2011 at 10:09am: I will post pictures as soon as I have them(: the professional ones will take about a week to get to me, but ill get the ones from my camera up the next day!!! I'm so excited! Just gotta make it through this week. I still don't have that nervous feeling everyone keeps asking me about... I feel like this is the one thing I am 100% sure on so why be nervous(: just a few more days! My dad and stepmom left this morning, so my dress is on its way!

Comment by Paula (was Capricorna) on October 11, 2011 at 6:27am: Lovemynavyson - beautiful pix! Thanks for sharing.

Stephanie - please try to diffuse that feeling of doom - do something proactive if you can and keep thinking "I don't want to fight - I want to get along - I love my mother". I believe what you think about, you bring about.

JessicaB - That's super about the dress! Please don't forget to post pix when you can. This Saturday is the Big Day! Wow. Best wishes for a long, happy, healthy life together.

Maria - 9 days with your daughter! Wow. Took son to airport yesterday. He'll return in November before he goes to Hawaii. Said he had a great weekend. He's glad he joined the Navy (friends are going nowhere). Enjoy your family get away!

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on October 10, 2011 at 11:29pm: Very pretty dress! Looks like they had a great wedding (: Oh my gosh; you're getting me all excited for mine... I can't believe it's THIS saturday!!!

I spent 2.5 hours in David's Bridal today; I had an alterations crisis. I was ready to explode at first, but I was WOWED with their customer service. Three seamstresses dropped what they were doing and focused 100% on my dress for the whole time so it would be ready for my dad to drive it to SC tomorrow. It was like 8 fittings in one, and I think they had to press the dress 6 separate times and also sew in cups as well as alter the bust area countless times. Best of all, they apologized profusely for it taking so long and didn't charge me a penny. I don't know why they have such a bad reputation, I'm very pleased with my experience today!

On the downside, I have to face my roommates for the first time in who knows how many weeks tomorrow. I'm really nervous. I wish I could keep avoiding it but I suppose I can't hide forever. I have to stay there tomorrow night and Wednesday night. ick.

Comment by Lovemynavyson (Ship02/DIV933) on October 10, 2011 at 8:47pm: Hi Everyone! I'm still alive...been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo crazy busy...but the wedding is behind us and this in my final week this term!! HOOYAH! A week off from school........Well, here are a couple pictures of my princess.....and her adorable groom...

Comment by StephanieC on October 10, 2011 at 6:53am: Hope you both get to enjoy the time with your kids. It must be great to get to see them. Maria, nobody is perfect, lol. Im surprised actually.

Thing have been going just a little too well for us. Oh well, ill take it while i can. Hope you guys all have a great week :)
