Thanks so much!!I just got the reservations made! (with air miles hooray!) I don't know for sure when we got pink. There was a misunderstanding and we thought we just got submitted Wednesday, but I believe we got pink Wednesday. I don't know for sure though, sorry!! I was just too excited to hear we got pink and really didn't ask when!
