I just got off the phone and finally have my wireless connection set up, which is a relief. I had to call Linksys since apparently I have to do clone thing for my Mac and had to pay them some money, but its set. Also it was that weird feeling of I've set up a lot of wifis and fixed my parents so I know a lot of the basic steps and I think the tech ( Read more... )

I adore California since its where my mother's originally from and this was a fantastic trip. Where in California were you?

The bay area, when HtB was in grad school. We lived in Berkeley and Redwood City (so, both sides of the bay!). We LOVED it, but couldn't afford to stay once we couldn't qualify for student housing any more!

Oh wow, that sounds fantastic but yeah, its an expensive area. I know I like Ann Arbor but I probably won't be staying here unless I find a really good job as its a little pricey.

The setting was really amazing. I have a lot of pictures as everything happened at his wife's parents and grandparent's house in Sonoma Valley which abut each other.

This is my favorite picture of the reception area because I love how things look in in between lights.

I think it's time you find a new bank.

It actually just turned into a new bank and its what my parents are connected to and they've never had this problem. Hopefully it won't be long before I can afford to support myself and close that account.

Also I think some of it is I'm in a high student area which are easy pickings for these guys and its only ever my out of state bank account that has problems.

*sighs* Its just annoying. Oh have my cards arrived yet?

Hopefully!

And yes, they arrived, but it was while Crystal was down with her mom; I was waiting until things settled before we opened them. They're lovely, thank you!

Yes, one of my resumes will catch a job.

I'm so glad. I saw them and thought, yes, must get these.

You should submit the wedding reception place at the Sweet Home Style tumblr (http://sweethomestyle.tumblr.com/) after turning the contrast up a little...

Well, I have some pictures from later at night which work without the contrast up as much. I just like this one because of the middle light look.

Also would they accept it as its near a home but outside of it?

Oh yes, they would -- they have some spectacular outdoor interior pictures. And I do like the late afternoon look, too.

I've tinkered around with it a bit:

I might consider some other pictures I have of that outside then. As I said I actually have lots of pictures of that house and setting.

THAT DOES IN FACT SOUND AWESOME. *____* Going on my list, thank you!

It is and its just so well written. I honestly bought it because of the title and then the writing matches and the author even says at the beginning, she got erased, I'm fixing that.

If you have any trouble finding a copy, let me know and I'll mail this one because it must be shared at least after I finish it.

The library has it, it looks like, so I am all set! \o/

Sweet, I look forward to your thoughts and I'll try and post a longer review of it here along with my normal LibraryThing one.
