    Good Morning! Great minds think alike. Smile I'm going to DD my GM post though...

    I had a fun, but busy weekend- took my parents downtown to see the cherry blossoms and some monuments on Fri., went shopping with them on Sat., and Sun. was church, visiting my great-grandmother's grave in MD, Easter dinner, and an Easter egg hunt around our apt. (DH's idea... my parents were good sports, and it was actually lots of fun). Having visitors is tiring though! I have to gear up tonight for the next- my BFF from PA arrives tom. afternoon. Can't wait to see her!

    Hope everyone has a decent Mon. back!

    Good Morning everyone!

    I had a nice time in Pittsburgh for Easter - way too short, but still really great. So, on Thursday afternoon, my computer got a virus :( boo - It was working fine on friday, I just couldnt go online - today I came in and it wouldn't work at all! I had to move to another computer for today. We sent in a ticket to the IT guy so hopefully he comes soon. Anyway, I hope everyone had a great weekend and a Happy Easter!

    Meg - glad you had a good weekend in Ohio!
    Kim - I'm glad you had a good time with your parents~

    Happy Monday all - I too started a GM thread, sorry! 

    Uneventful Easter for us. Friends traveled from Erie Saturday for Easter Dinner, then sunday we did some shopping and went to see Hot Tub Time Machine - save your $$ it was AWFUL!  (Dh's choice, since my last one was How to Train your Dragon).

    Tonight we look at the wexford house a second time and fingers crossed we still love, we make an offer, and they accept!

    Glad everyone had good/safe trips!

    Good morning all!  I had a GREAT four-day weekend home in Pittsburgh.  It was so nice to see my family and some friends, and that weather was amazing!  We also got a lot of WR stuff done... might just AW that out in a separate post.  But ugh, our trip home last night was awful... delayed for hours because of stupid Chicago storms, crazy bumpy flight, then our train died and got stuck for an hour in between stops.  And nothing like coming back to 200 emails after two days out of the office :-P

    K, the cherry blossoms sound beautiful and I'm glad your parents had fun!
    M, glad you had a nice trip home.
    G, hope the computer gets fixed soon.
    B, good luck with the house!!  Where in Wexford is it?
    And S, good morning over here too :)

    Good morning!

    Having a nice day off today (love my work, they have an awesome vacation policy).  Was POURING rain this morning, but luckily it slowed down.

    Am getting my dress this week (excited!) and need to lock down some of the other wedding details (like colors, flowers, entertainment) this week as well.

    But, NWR, I received some amazing news on Thursday - I was promoted!  :)  Luckily, at my company, you pretty much have to be performing the job that you aspire to before actually being promoted, so I won't have much added work (to infringe on my wedding planning!).  So tomorrow will be fun to return after the long weekend and have the good news be announced.

    Missy- Congrats on the promotion!!  That's wonderful news.  And how exciting to pick up your wedding dress.  Laughing

    Thanks duqcheer!  I'm so excited, just not entirely sure where to keep it.  Am worried that I will be like Monica on Friends and where it while I'm doing household chores!  :)

    bri - I saw Hot Tub Time Machine and thought it was silly but definitely laughed out loud a lot.  I went with a big group, and we were relating especially to the fashions!  I think if FI and I went alone it wouldn't have been nearly as funny.

    Jen - the house is in the community Hunter's Point!  It's the same one we looked at last Friday...we'll see!

    Happy Monday all!!!  Glad to hear you ladies all had a great weekend!  Congrats on everything, wedding and non-wedding!

    The weekend wasn't too awesome for me, unfortunately...I don't want to whine, though, so I'll make it simple.  After a 12-hour drive back to Pittsburgh from Massachusetts on Saturday, I got the very upsetting news that my best friend, whom I've known for 20 years, lost her dad to cancer that afternoon.  He was like a second dad to me, and I'm really sad...I can't imagine what my BFF is feeling though.  My FI has been awesome and supportive of me, thank God. So tomorrow are the viewings and Wednesday is the service...so this week's going to be a bit rough.

    I wish everyone the most awesome week!

    <div>Thanks...I think it would have been an easier blow to take had it not been so sudden...we didn't even know until he passed what actually had been the problem...they thought he had a stomach flu for a month, then went to ER last week and found some spots on the CT...it just went so quickly, we're more in shock than anything...but again, thanks for your concern :)</div>

    Happy monday!!!

    Enjoyed the weekend although not long enough........Friday was date night with the FI YAY!!!!!! Saturday again I hit the town with my Cousin for a lil girls night fun! Sunday Cooked most of the day and enjoyed having my family over the house. Tired as all get out but still made it to work bright and early this morning at 6am. BTW I did complete a check on Friday picking my dress up from Davids Bridal. Now I am trying to narrow down shoes but I have until atleast after prom season goes away when the end of  season sales begin. Scheduling a wedding planning meeting with the family to hash out a budget so that we can really decide on a venue. Hopefully that will happen within the next wo weeks. My MOH found her caterer for her wedding in OCT So yippie for her! Have a good week everyone!
