Happy New Year!

With the changing of the calendar I realized that we're getting closer and closer to the day we can all say adios to Santa Barbara, and hola to Dreams Riviera Cancun for a few days.  I've been in contact with Elaine, and hope you all have too to make your reservations and upload your deposits to the online form.  The absolute end deadline to get onboard, or make any adjustments to your room category and/or dates will be January 28, 2011.  So please, if you're not sure about anything, send all your questions to Elaine.

In other news, the dresses for the bridesmaids are arriving, and they are a testament to Laura's great fashion taste. She picked a very hip color called Firecracker, which fits the celebration vibe quite well.  In addition, that color seems to be highlighting all my wedding magazines this season, and the dresses are designs by Cynthia Rowley. Very cool on all levels. She's thrown down the style gauntlet, and I can't wait to see everyone's personal spin on it.  ;)  Ladies in the bridal party -- please touch base with Laura if you haven't already bought your dress.

Dave and I have also added a nifty little Honeymoon Registry, which fits our trip a little more than the traditional registry. Seems like a fun idea to receive massages or manicures instead of crystal stemware ... which would never find a home in our little casita anyway.

Finally, if you're looking for me in the next few months, check the gym. It's time to get in the fitness groove, and get ready for some dress fittings... soon enough it will be time to go bikini shopping.

Cheers, and Happy New Year everyone -- Angie

PS, the word of the month is Passport. -- Passport passport passport -- Do you know where yours is? Check those expiration dates, get that paperwork sent in, do whatever you gotta do, worst case scenario is up to 90 days for a new passport... consider yourselves warned
