I didn't do finals yet
i made the appointment because i know that after september 23 things are going to be crazy for me because the clinical hours at grad school will be taking up all my time.
just call up...i am sure that you can make it. they do them mon-thursday i think, but they only have 3 appointment slots each night.
I tried to get my hall to do mine early and they won't until Sept!!

Now is my quiet time since I am off from my subbing job at school. I am trying to take advantage of much of the time I have now.

Re: October Girls Update
Well the last few days have been crazy and somewhat productive. My FH's ENTIRE family came to visit for a reunion (and stayed w/ us in our tiny apt) and I had my shower yesterday, which was great!My invitations are ready to be picked up, now all I need to do is print the addresses on them.
I had my first fitting Thursday night. I have a ton of pics, but they all need to be resized which I will work on tonight.
My FH is going w/ his Mom to check out tuxes today @ Men's Warehouse (she wants to help him pick them out). My BM dresses will be in next week!
Things are moving along....

You don't need a birth certificate? That's pretty much what I'm waiting for. I sent my birth certificate in with my passport application. I have les than 60 days left, so I can go whenver I can get off work, but I figured I had to wait to get my birth certificate back.
I can't even begin to list the things I have to do. It will drive me crazy. Our tasting is Saturday.
I have to a call today to pick the 4 things we want to taste.
Oct.2004bride-are you not getting a lot of rsponses?

Town hall in Smithtown is on Main Street heading east, it's on your left hand side after the sizzler restaurant.

Re: October Girls Update
I have got about 1/3 of my invites back, and about 12% are NO's. This is a good amount so far. We are hoping for exactly 19% nos, but I expect that I will start getting more nos as the date gets closer.Also, my first fitting is tonight, I will try to post pics when I get home!
