  • Hey Raynatta,

    First love your invites.  They are super cute.  

    Second - ^5 on being a November girl.  My b-day is November 18th.

    Third - ^5 on Montego Bay.  My Mom's side is from Jamaica and that is the area where she was born.  Love it there.  

    Fourth - Ohh...I love some Vera.   Her gowns are fabulous.

    And finally, Whitley and Dwayne.  I am done.  I was hoping they would get a spin off. :)



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.  



  • Absolutely love.....congratulations!!

  • Thanks for the love sisters!  SO much love...it really made me smile this week and got me motivated to get this wedding stuff OUT THE WAY, DONE AND OVERWITH!  I am making it happen yall.

    All my knotties are invited....yall come on!  I will have a table reserved just fro yall. 

    nursing and divav..yall know yall are MCing the ceremony...yall musta forgot that you are leading the wobble.

    Shouts out to my fellow SCORPIO sisters..you know how we get down!

    As far as the job search...its going slowly.  As you know it is hard to find a job when you arent in that city.  I am not moving until the end of the school year which is in June so I have a little time.  But I am not sure I want to teach anymore.  I think i want out of the classroom and into an office environment.  So I need to proay on that and see what happens.

    SHouts out to all the moms whose birthday is my wedding day. I will have gifts for them at my candy bar :-)

    As far as the CDS. I just ordered them from a website.  I did not geel like fighting with them.  The CDS are from Amazon.com.  They look just like actual records.  the label website is http://www.myownlabels.com/wedding_cd-labels/.

    I just didnt feel like fighting with making them.  I made the rsvp post cards out of silver card stock that I ordered from Paperandmore.com.

    Lastly to all my different world fans...Anybody remember this scene:  Whitley, please baby please...as the ushers are pulling Dwayne down the aisle and she is about to marry Byron.
