Hey Amy!!!! WAAZZUUUPP?!?!?!???

I still have to do a bunch of stuff!!! Details though - I have to order all the ingredients for my centerpieces...I'm doing them myself -

One large pillar candle in a clear bulging glass vase in the middle of the table (set in coffee beans instead of sand) with ribbon (brown and lilac) wrapped around - with 5 smaller vases with sphere candles set the same way in the coffee beans - but the smaller are going to double as a favor - I'll be putting favor tags on the smaller ones with a stamp I ordered with our Monogram!! I'm so excited!!!



Oh wow, it sounds really nice. Yeah I plan to a lot of things DYI. That's why I'm stressing. So much to do... BUt that part I think is fun. I can't wait to go to Michaels. I haven't thought about my centerpieces yet. Or favors



I didn't think about the stamp with our name and date on it, that's a great idea. Thanks. I did buy the Stamp with just our first names and our address on it. So that does help with time. I'm excited about all the DYI, that is fun to me, not looking at limos and stuff like that

I just ordered what is going to be a HUGE help for DIY stuff!!
I had a stamp made up that says our Last name (my last name to be actually) and our address for the return address on the outer invite envelopes and for the return address for the rsvp envelopes! I also got one that has our first names and the wedding date with some cardstock for the tags for our favors!! It's gonna save a lot of time for us!! I only paid like $10-$15 a piece for them!!

The deepest I ever went was like 60ft - but to be honest - I didn't realize it until they told me when we were done - Once your under - You can't even tell how deep you are!!
It's actually really relaxing cuz nobody can talk to you and all you hear is the bubbles from your regulator (mouthpiece)....and everything is sooo breathtaking!!! I can't wait to go again!!!

In Cabo I think they have Kelp Forests - I dunno - I'm pretty sure that is where the feeding goes on....maybe not the kelp forests!!! But on the other hand - it's supposed to be one of the most spectacular things you would ever see!!

Here is it, but please don't quote, I plan to take it off in a few minutes so FH doesn't see it,..

You Scuba???
Nice, we are gonna try to get certified before we go. There is an online course we are gonna take, and then we just have to do one class room, and the 2 pool sessions. that's if we have time. we are cutting it close.



If you can't take the whole 'in pool' class - then maybe you should just wait until you get there - you should be able to get partially certified to go to like 40ft - And they will make sure you are ready before you hop in the water....Which is Super Important!!! Good Luck though - it is amazing!!! I wont dive up here in the Northeast though - too scary - you can't see anything!!



We are gonna go through Scuba King, in Rocky Point.

You DO the pool sessions, it's the classroom sessions and written tests that are done online. Our schedules are wacky, and we leave in about 6 weeks, so we figured this was best for us.
Then we will do our dive sessions in costa rica.

any advice as far as equipment? $$ is tight right now, so we are trying to get it as cheap as possible. we were told to check out leisurepro.com

Leisurepro is definitely the cheapest around!! Um...you should be able to rent equipment when you get there - the equipment is SUPER EXPENSIVE to purchase yourself - like in the thousands range - All I have is a wetsuit - Goggles, snorkel, fins and a regulator. The rest they will have when you get there - Plus to drag the bulky equipment around is a pain and it's heavy and they will probably charge extra for the flight with the bulk...

Re: I hit 700 Today!!!!

thats awesome.. i think i have a fear of the water cos my favorite aunt passed away 2 years ago from a freak boating accident.. she was on a ferry in the philippines n some huge waves knocked it over n the boat sank..it took them 3 days to find her body.. there were a lot of survivors but unfortunately she was unlucky..God bless her soul..

i wish i could go into forests/rainforests/etc.. im a real girly girl i guess.. *chickennn* . im afraid of bugs! lol
