I’ve been working to find more hotel options for everyone.  Please go to the “Travel & Lodging” page for more information.  You can also visit the “Maps & Activities” page to get an idea of the physical location of any hotel in relation to the DiamondHead Resort, where most of the meeting-up will take place.

So very exciting!!  We had a ladies’ day out at Jon’s Bridal in Tampa: my mom, my aunt, my mom’s best friend and her sister all attended to me.  There were two dresses that were front runners…but everyone said how nice the final choice looked, so I was sold, too.  Unfortunately, I can’t really share [...]

Well, I haven’t been “dress shopping” yet, I have begun to look online at some of the styles.  Most are pretty generic: a-line, strapless.  You know I will want something a little bit different!!
