This is Nate and I all dressed up for dinner at Victoria & Albert's.

So, last night we went to the movies. We saw White Christmas (the old Bing Crosby/Danny Kaye movie). That is my favorite holiday film, and they were showing it at the movie theatre. The are showing It's a Wonderful Life, too. But I always thought that was depressing.
Saturday night we went to a party at my friend Keagan's house. Here are some pics.




We are teaching Nani to Hula.


Have to work all week, but I did manage to get Saturday off (I have to work xmas, though). So for Christmas Eve, we are going to my grandmother's house.

Anyway, got to go do the dishes. I'm so domestic now, isn't that shocking?

We ordered the wedding invitations. Expect them around New year's. And we have decided not to have a rehearsal dinner (since we won't be having a rehearsal). We will be having a pool party, however, the day before the wedding at Casa Serendipity. Food, margaritas, music, should be alot of fun. And hey, what's the point of renting a house with a private pool, if you don't have a party?
Now, I am focusing on all the little things, like flowers. With a black and white wedding, flowers are complicated. There are no black flowers, and white flowers would just dissappear into my dress. Also, we want to decorate the ceremony somehow, but it seems silly to put tiki torches out when it will still be daylight. Would it be wierd to use an aisle runner on a beach? Also, I don't want to make a mess on the beach, so I'm not sure how much I can get away with. Oh well. have to give it some thought.

If anyone has ideas though, we would love to hear them!

Good news.

We've decided not to cancel the wedding. We will find a way to make it work. Just have to cancel some stuff (no steel drums for instance). If all else fails, we will probably end up having to postpone having a family for a couple years until we pay off the wedding debt.

Oh well. So, for the next five months, we will have no life. No travel, no going out, and we will be begging for all the hours at work that we can get.

As long as the car doesn't break down, and no one gets sick, we will make it work.

See you all in Key West, it will be amazing!

I have some horrible news. Nate and I are seriously considering canceling our wedding. We just can't afford it. And, if we cancel it now, we can still get all of our deposits back, and our guests can still refund plane tix and hotel rooms. We have been going over the bills and we cannot find anyway to do it. Both of us have very large credit card bills (almost completely comprised of wedding deposits on photographers, accomodations, etc.) and it just down't seem logical to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding when that money could go toward paying off credit cards and paying our mortgage, plus property taxes are coming up. We were both looking foward to this wedding so much, but now it looks like a good possibility we will end up just going to city hall.
We are going to think about it, and decide in the new year.
But for those of you planning on coming to the wedding, don't buy any plane tix without talking to us first.

Sorry everyone. I am going to go cry now.

So, I just spent all this time writing a great blog entry, only to discover for some reason I can't access my iDisk, so none of my pictures show up.
I got a new tattoo, also went to Discovery Cove for my birthday.
To see pics, go here.

More later when I have more time.

SO cute!!!


Anyway, nothing to say. I am feeling a little better. Endometriosis sucks, but at least I should feel okay for the next few weeks.

Tomorrow is my birthday. We are going to Discovery Cove and then probably going to get new tattoos.

Oh, and I just got Murderball from Netflix.

That's about it. Have to clean my house, Tiffany is flying down on Wednesday and will be staying with us for a few days, have to make the place all pretty.

Will post more after my birthday.

Oh, and I took this quiz. Totally expected to get democrat, but turns out I got socialist. Woah. Crazy. Especially since I am marrying a republican (scary, I know)

You are a Social Liberal (80% permissive) and an... Economic Liberal (6% permissive) You are best described as a: Socialist Link: The Politics Test on OkCupid Free Online Dating Also: The OkCupid Dating Persona Test

I went out last night for my best friend Amy's birthday. Aren't we cute? Nate was nice enough to play designated driver. We went to BarBQ Bar and to Tabu (vip table for the birthday girl even).

My birthday is on Friday.

You know what sucks? Endometriosis. You know what sucks even more? Not having medical insurace and having to go through all this pain without meds. Ouch! I could hardly walk today I was in so much pain. And, I was recently asked if Nate and I are going to start a family once we are married. To everyone reading this, PLEASE DON"T ASK ME STUFF LIKE THAT!!! I have suffered from Endometriosis for many years, and chances are even if I can have kids, it would be a high-risk pregnancy, so don't bother asking me. It just makes me sad, and mad, and miserable.

Sorry for the outburst, but I feel horrible.Pain, disgusting symptoms too numerous to mention, and I can hardly move.

Oh well. I will survive, I have before. Hopefully I will feel better by my birthday.
