Yayyyyyyy!!! Welcome home!
I'll bet it was a good time for him!
also, love the new nickname. hope that sticks!
And oooh yes, much needed break from bridezilla. Did I tell you I sent an email that laid everything out in the open? It included all the observations and complaints I've shared here and more with brutal honesty. And yet somehow, I'm still in this thing.

Seriously. Ac-tiv-IA!!!!!!!!!!!
The ironic thing about all this is my DH says I'm the one who has spoiled our DS. :rolle ye: I'll admit he's spoiled & does need to start growing up. My DH & I both feel it's time he lived alone to go to school. He needs to prepare for the future. He has anxiety & depression issues though. We probably humor him more because of that. I'd feel horrible to think he was by himself & totally depressed.
I mean, there will be nervousness to some extent since I know that I would never be able to move out of SoCal, but that's because I love it here. People have said to me, you never know where else you may like because you haven't lived there and I'm thinking, "Who cares? I know what I like and I'm going to stick to it." So maybe it's a good thing he found a school in Miami that is still in the same state that he can attend, so maybe he can step out of that nest, even for a while since you guys are close enough to him this time around.
The weather was great the whole time, had a fantastic room to DH, I & my bro. Went to the best luau and ran into the hula dancers into the restroom. I asked if they could give my bro a shout out since he was sad to be the only single person there- they brought him up on stage and he must have had 20 coconuts flying in his face
Got to wear my new VS bikinis and use the pink/black/white stripe tote. I can now report from my in-the-field testing:
Azn On the topic of "beach security", I use the BBW mesh tote with an opaque pocket- so then it looks like people can see that I don't have valuables in my tote, when in fact, they are concealed in the opaque portion that blends in the background. I've also dug a small hole for my goodies and laid the towel on top so it looks like nothing.
Thanks for the tote reviews. good to know the pink, black, and white striped one gets lighter in the wash, but kind of disappointed that the stitching is coming undone already!
Loving the digging the small hole in the sand idea! I think I may attempt this next time. The only valuable things I would have are keys and phone. I usually take everything out of my bag except sun block and water bottle so the bag is pretty flat

also, the $20 bloom.com voucher is haunting me. i can't really find anything i want to buy and having a hard time getting to $49.
I'm passing on this GWP. It's nice, but aside from the bag, I don't want anything else. Shocker!

Hubby has been wonderful today. We're enjoying a low key day at home - DD isn't feeling well. He made breakfast and had flowers and a sweet card and balloons...he's making dinner too.

Sorry about a little drama about your DS : comfort:
Thanks
I don't like moving either. It was okay at first, but we had moved 5 times by the time our DS was in 2nd grade. My DH would keep moving, but I'd had enough. I finally found the place I want to be for as long as possible. Eventually we'll end up moving out of this house, even if we don't move to Miami for our DS to go to school. When my DH retires, we plan to spend half the year in NC & the other half in our place in North Miami. We won't need a house this big, when our DS moves out for good. Plus, we won't have as much company, since we'll be spending 1/2 the year around our family in NC.
Congrats on your DH's promotion & being able to stay here.

I know, it doesn't look very substantial does it? I had to try it b/c I loved the pic of the model in this one print... it might be because the cups come up so high on the outer edges and top? IDK, but it's definitely more secure than any of the other strapless bikinis I own (all from VS, all the same size as this). Yes, I got it in my usual size. 32DD is my preferred size, but they don't usually offer that for bikini tops, so I went with big sis 34D and that turned out to be perfect- (maybe this means these tops run a tad small? :dontknow : ).

I don't blame you for not wanting to leave a place you love. Everyone would be happier, if they lived where they most wanted to be. What one person considers paradise another may not like at all. If there was a universally desired location, we'd all be packed in like sardines & the rest of the country would be empty.
