Life is changing for us, and it is not for a positive reason

Debi, I get cuttings and scraps for my chickens from the venders at my local farmers market - you might want to see if there is any in your area you can get thier old rotten produce and scraps from. Sometimes I get stuff that we want to eat, its amazing what they toss out!

I have tried that with our local farmers markets - we have three here. Mostly they sell out, though I have managed trades for fresh produce in exchange for fresh eggs.

Oh, it's lovely! Very romantic! I hope you guys have many good days coming. You deserve it.

If you want to save money on chicken food maybe you could buy it in bulk? I buy 100lb bags and that's the only way I can feed my chooks and make a profit from selling their eggs. It works out more than 100% cheaper than buying in small amounts from the shops. I also grow corn for them, but you have to grow an awful lot for it to be viable.

I have to say that between wedding planning and cramming in memories, I am freakin beat!!!!

Make home videos. My dad suddenly passed away when my son was just 7 months old. I made this home movie of the two of them and I was so glad I had that. ('till some @#$% broke into our house and stole the drive I saved it on)

We spent the day fishing in Big Bear and it was a gorgeous day. However, it was only 60 degrees NOT on the water, and some of these people have done bumped their heads, on jet ski's, water skiing, etc., in water that was 50 degrees.

How on earth did I miss this for so long...

Deb... I have no words. I am devastated for you. You and your husband-to-be are in my thoughts and prayers. I have read this whole thread and was amazed over and over again at the fortitude and faith you have displayed here. You are inspirational. Do please continue to keep us up to date.

Your dress, cake, rings, and venue are simply gorgeous. This will be a wedding to remember. I would suggest investing in both a talented photographer and also a videographer. Maybe even two photographers in case one messes up or doesn't get an important shot. That is one photo album I know will never get dusty.

Thanks!!! I am investing good money in the cake and a photographer. I just need to get off my butt and start making phone calls and visiting photographers. A friend of mine, out of the blue, offered her house for the ceremony and reception, the two things we were really stuck on. Every thing else is golden, now the whole thing is. And I don't care if he has to ride his scooter down the aisle.

Now to start recycling cans because that danged hotel is now $200 a night. Double what it was when he proposed. YIKES!

Ken did not have such a good day today. Scooter dug out of the yard and he chased him around half the neighborhood and it was down hill from there. Poor man went to bed at 5:30 pm. Do you all know that some really bad things come out of peoples mouths to the ones they love, because they are the only ones that will understand? Yeah, that is hard. It is hard to not yell back and wait a few hours and tell him "would it be ok if I did that to you?" I started to yell back, then slammed a door and put on my makeup and went to work. Texted him and he apologized. A death sentence to a free man is a very hard thing for one to deal with, whether it is him or me.

I would appreciate prayers for our sanity, please. I have such joy in planning this wedding, and such heart ache at seeing him struggle.

Debi, my thoughts and prayers are still with you and Ken. I know how aggrevated I get with my DH, I can't imagi be aggrevated and feel guilty about it at the same time. Focus on what makes you happy. Let go of what doesn't, if you can. Know that part of Ken's frustration is that he can't do what he wants to do. Enjoy your wedding plans, and go through with them. Do what makes YOU happy. Make your life together the best it can be.
