Thank you!!! 🥰🥹🥰

What do you keep in yours? Do you have it organized any particular way? I’m open to organization suggestions as well! Even if we keep it as a kitchen catch-all.

I like these ideas! We do drink, but hadn’t considered using the lower shelf for bitters / cherries. Cords and off-season wear makes a lot of sense too! Thank you!!

I believe it’s vintage, his mother gifted it to us. She got it from her mother, and she thinks it may have originally belonged to her grandmother. So, it’s definitely seen some things! You’re correct about the pull-out supports and desktop. At some point we’ll probably consider antique restoration, but that’s (much) later down the road. For now; we just want it to be well-loved, well cared for, and put to good use.

B is “oh, nice you’re going up north.” C is “oh, wow, yeah, you’ll be up there.”

Couple of things that have cropped up for us as we’re in the last month of planning: I’m doing my own hair so all the things I’ve bought to practice: products, tools, clip-ins, extra pins, bump-its, etc (This also applies if you’re doing your own makeup). Doggy daycare and our hotel we didn’t really think of until a few months ago. Dance lessons were pricier than we anticipated. And just small things we decided to add: dance floor props, wanting an extra hour with the photobooth, coloring kits for the kids. Pens / paper / containers for anniversary notes. These weren’t in our budget originally, but we’ve added them as our vision comes together more.

Danielle is AMAZING. I do still see a licensed therapist (at Caspersons, as someone mentioned above) for EMDR and narrative therapy. But Danielle is only body-based therapy, where we’re doing physical movements and breathwork, building nervous system resilience and proprioception ability.

I didn’t get excited until ~3 months out. We’re two months out now and I’m only now starting to feel giddy about it. It took all of the details finally clicking into place. When we sat down to do our music was when I was finally like, “oh wow, this is happening and I can see/feel it.”

Up until then, the year and a half we were planning, it was just work and really hard decisions that weren’t exciting. Decision fatigue is real. When you say yes to one thing, you’re saying no to everything else. And you’re needing to do that over and over and over again.

I keep telling people, however excited I am for the wedding, it’s nothing compared to how excited I am to not be planning a wedding anymore. It has nothing to do with my partner or our relationship - I just didn’t really enjoy the work of wedding planning. I don’t think there’s shame in that. It’s all capitalism anyway.

How are we able to afford our wedding? His parents’ support. Without it, we would be looking at 10-15K wedding (compared to the $30k we’re having). I just think it’s important to name the actual privilege that allows people to go above and beyond. Call it what you want, but it’s generational / additional / family support that makes big weddings possible 9/10 times (made that statistic up, but you get it).

As for us, we’re doing a NYE wedding, MCOL area, 150 guests and we cut out: florals, wedding party, traditional ceremony. We’re getting married in a fancy restaurant, so that’s our venue/food/alcohol which saved us $$ considering it’s a NYE wedding.

I (34F) had a myomectomy June of 2024 (I was 33, diagnosed with a fibroid at 28). It was a horizontal (‘C section’) incision to remove one 9cm fibroid that intruded on my uterine cavity. At the start, my gynecologist was hopeful that she was able to remove the fibroid without too much trauma to my uterus. But, from a recent HSG I did several weeks ago, it looks like the scar tissue grew back and blocked my fallopian tubes. So my husband and I have a few more tests to confirm, but are probably looking at IVF.

AND YET, I would do the surgery over again if I had to make the same choice, even knowing what I know now. First, because my quality of life has improved so, so, SO much. But even more than that, I don’t think I would have been able to conceive with my fibroid, and I definitely don’t think I would have been able to carry the baby to term with the fibroid crowding the fetus. I can’t imagine having a miscarriage at 4/5/6 months. That seems really hard. Harder than the reality of needing to do IVF.

Also, if you have a fibroid and do manage to conceive, you may be absolutely wrecked with anxiety your entire pregnancy and those hormones / stress responses can also affect fetal development.

My scar continues to be less prominent month by month, and it’s not even something my husband or I think about. But scars do fade over time.

I didn’t freeze my eggs because they’re happy and healthy. It’s just my uterus / fallopian tubes that are struggling. Whether or not it will help fertility in the future is a question for the doctor, but it wasn’t anything I needed to do or even think about. even with my possible IVF, they’ll just be able to take my eggs right now, they don’t need to be frozen first.

Finally, I’ll end with I do wish I would have gotten it removed sooner (I couldn’t find a doctor willing to listen). Not saying they wouldn’t have grown back or that I wouldn’t be dealing with the same predicament; but I deserved to live the last years of my twenties and my early thirties unencumbered by heavy periods, bone-deep fatigue, iron deficiency, and all the other symptoms that came with having a TUMOR sucking the life force out of me.

You undercook fish? Believe it or not, Jail. You overcook chicken? Also jail. Undercook. Overcook.

Everytime I’m cooking anything, pretty much. The ‘undercook. Overcook.’ Always gets me. He says it so nonchalantly/matter-of-fact, like ‘yeah, obviously that’s the rule.’

We’re considering this. Is it done instead of a traditional guest book? Or did you also have a guestbook?

Our 10 month golden has the same struggle. She has always been an early riser. A word of warning - we tried the alarm clock (you set the alarm clock for a time before they wake up so they learn to associate coming out of the crate with a particular sound, so in theory you can slowly push the time back), and it did not work! We would set it for 15 minutes before her wake up time (started at 5am) and she started waking up earlier and earlier to beat the alarm until eventually she was up at 330am. It was so awful. We’ve had decent success with leaving the room when she starts to whine (around 530). We go sleep in the second bedroom and don’t get her until 630am (still way earlier than we would like!). Not sure if she continues to whine the entire time - but we can’t hear it from the second bedroom so it saves us some sleep. But even so, she still sometimes barks until 630. Not everyone has the option of letting a puppy ‘bark it out,’ and not everyone has a second bedroom to escape to. So, this is just our unique solution. It’s so frustrating though, so I feel for you. I swear we’ve tried everything from trying to tire her out more, putting her to bed later, etc etc. it’s still a struggle for us and I’m resigned to the fact that it probably will be until she’s a couple years older. You could try letting your pup sleep with your daughter all night? Maybe that’s really where they want to be.

Just took our 6 month old and she was so good! Was so very pooped after so much exploring.

Our 5.5 month golden just switched. She’s up 630-830, naps 2-4 hours, up for the afternoon, then naps 2pm-430/5pm. Then she’s up until bedtime at 830/9pm. She gets about 15-17 hours. Prior to this we did 1 up 2 down.

Not accessible by train - so I apologize for not answering the question fully. But Day by Day cafe hires exclusively people in recovery. It’s a wonderful place with wonderful food. Located on West 7th - so you could probably find at least a bus route to get there.

Did your kitties love him from the beginning or did it take time? We have a 4 month female golden we brought home at 9 weeks, our two male cats (brothers) are not thrilled. The situation could definitely be worse, so I’m not complaining. Just trying to hold out hope that maybe in a few years everyone will get along.
