I have a friend from High School who is doing something similar.  He is riding his bike around the world but he is seeing everything so its going to take about 3 years.  And, he is doing everything by himself, there isnt anyone helping him arrange anything.  I think it is so admirable to know someone who can do something like that.

I am planning on it.  My dad is paying for my cousin, he and myself to go for two weeks in July....the 12th-25th or something like that.  I have no idea if there was something going on that he was planning for but we are supposed to be going.  I am looking forward to it.

I had two weddings.  I had one with immediate family at some rinky dink chapel in Idaho, and then I had another one a year later (the date we actually wanted to get married). 

The first wedding a quick and painless thing where we signed the piece of paper and we were married, no rings. I needed health insurance and we had to be married for me to be on his insurance.  We really always wanted to get married on Halloween and we had planned for it in 2007, but I couldn't wait that long.

So Halloween 2007 we had our wedding, which we call our anniversary, with all our friends and family.  Most of them didn't know we were already married and we said our own vows, not something out of a book and exchanged rings.  It was awesome and everyone loved it. 

As for two counties, I would do two weddings and if some can fly to the other ceremony, its a vacation for them.   You could also video record both and share them with those who didn't get to go.

Good luck 

I have bikinis and I have worn them, and I would probably wear them again.  My issue is big chest and fair skin.  It hurts my neck if I don't get a suit with a bigger tie around the neck for support.  I am all about flaunting the boobs in a bikini.  However, I am very fair skinned and am to the age where I love to be in the sun, but not look like I have. 

So I just bought a two piece from Wal-Mart.  Black tank style with little buckles on the straps and it goes down to my waist and has boob holders in it.  The bottom is a pink and black pattern design skirt.  I love it because it hides most of my skin from the sun but its still cute and shows what needs to be shown.  I also have a one piece i like to wear too.

I hang out with all guys so I (for some reason) tend to be self conscience, even though I am married to one of them.  They get all googlie eyed at all the hotties at the lake (they aren't much to look at themselves) and I feel like I don't have a chance, even though I am married.  My husband would jump me in sweats so he doesn't care.  I like to be in a bikini so I am looking forward to the new one thats a little of both.  

I think if you pick the right color and cut, you can wear a bikini.  And amen to those who don't care about what others think.  There are a ton of cute one pieces out there too.

I was on pills in high school, and was fine in the sex drive area.  Then in college I was on the Depo shot, and was like a humping rabbit.  I met my now husband when i was in college and although we lived thousands of miles away, when we saw each other it was all about sex.  After i graduated i noticed that my libido was slowly going south.  Eventually last year i changed to the Ring and then to the Patch.  Still nothing. My doctor told me that the only way to see if it is the BC is to stop taking it.  I wasnt ready to stop taking it then.  In June we decided to start having kids, so i went off it and for the first couple of months i was back, better than ever.  Now, eh.  Luckily my husband is understanding and values our relationship more than the sex.  Sometimes its a one sided deal so he at least can relieve some pressure.

I am now pregnant so maybe that will switch me up, more hormones.  I chalk it up to age and being in a relationship where I am comfortable.   I think every doctor will tell you that those are the side affects of BC, unfortunately.  I was also on BC for 12 years straight, i could see how that would eventually cause a slow down.  

Anyway, good luck, and maybe try some different tactics to get excited.   

I hate spiders in my house and i often have my husband take care of it for me.  Just last night I was washing dishes and one decided to drop down on its webbing, right in front of my face.  I thought I was going to have a heart attack.  Little f&^*er!  One time my husband killed a huge spider in our basement and he flushed it, or so i thought.  I got up in the middle of the night to pee and there it was floating in the toilet.  I had to flush it for fear that it would re-hydrate itself and crawl up and bite me in the bum.

Funny thing is, I have a friend who is really OCD about checking her room for spiders before she goes to bed. Sometimes she will get back up after she got it, just to check again.  But when i am visiting and there is a spider, i have to kill it.  Go figure.  

I'm just paraoid in my own house.
