Hi. My husband we got married in Vegas very quickly before he left for his deployment to Afghanistan in Feb. He is coming home early so we are have a renewel for our families and reception on Oct 20 . Most of my family hasn't even met him. I literally just found out maybe a month or so ago. On top of this, I've been battling a sickness since March where I've lost 50 lbs and have to have surgery. I can't afford to lose anymore weight and my hair is falling out in handfuls. So most days, I end up in bed from the pain while my 2 yr old takes his nap and then my 16 yr old usually takes over if I don't sleep off the pain. That's the background and sorry it was so long. The reason I'm not waiting and not putting this off and prob waaay behind many of you is this finally our light after so much pain and suffering. We have the venue with an onsite place for the reaffirmation with a pretty gazebo, and around 300 if they all show up. My sister just got married in June in our hometown and I live 2 1/2 hrs away. The dresses are ordered and mine is in. He's getting his tux custom made there VERY inexpensively. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time and the days I do feel well, I do get a LOT done. Just wanted to say, "hello."
