Kelly,

I've seen some photos of similar shirts for the cruise wedding and just didn't know how to search. I love to shop online, but looks like this will be an easy style to find even in the local store (just have to stop by, lol).

Thanks again. Now, I'm thinking, should I get him a dark shirt and lighter khakis? My dress is ivory, but it's so close to white that I think I need to get him a color that isn't close at all. I like that dark blue one and the black, heck, i like the green one also, :rotfl:

Oh, well, I'll have to go shopping (oh maybe I'll buy him his 'outfit' for Father's day, lol). I'll just tell him he can't wear it til September, lol. I am so bad!
:rotfl:

I am not sure what to tell you colorwise. Maybe someone will have a good idea for you. I will try to look and see if I can find something on a website for Caribbean resorts that do weddings. Maybe they will have some wedding pictures or something to give you an idea.

[silverangel879]

It took some looking back through my paypal account to remember where I got this but I love the selection and their prices were great and shipment came quickly.

Somehow I missed this very important piece of news. :confused3 Shame on me.:) Congratulations!!

Kelly,

Thanks so much!!! We are so excited (:cool1: ) As for checking out other resort sites, good idea. I'll have to get looking, but if you come across any in your 'travels' let me know. Thanks for you help.

Oh, Patty! This is so funny! You know he's gorgeous either way! ;) Which do you prefer?

[pjstevens]

Oh, Patty! This is so funny! You know he's gorgeous either way! ;) Which do you prefer?

Oh Cam, you aren't helping, lol :lmao: That's the problem, I am not sure, it's so odd to see him without it (he's only shaved it once before and I don't remember how long he kept it that way). I think he looks younger without it (as several have said). I told him, I couldn't decide so I was goign to take a poll (and here it is, lol).

[Lynn5700]

HAHA I'm a fan of facial hair..I love goatees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like your husband both but it's so funny how much younger men look with no facial hair!!! he looks great either way lol.

[mymainmouse]

This cracked me up. :) I think he looks nice either way. I will say I am a little partial to the mustache only because my hubby has one. Which way do you prefer, because that's the way I will vote.:rotfl::thumbsup2

[newyearsbride]

This poll really made me laugh. :rotfl: I voted without... I'm not a fan of facial hair, and like Lynn said, I think he looks younger without.

[pjstevens]

You ladies aren't helping me very much, lol, it's 50/50 right now!!! I guess I'm so use to it, that it's taking a little while to get use to it not being there. I don't want him to look too young (compared to me, lol, jk).

:confused3

[29apr00]

Dh and i both think WITH! He looks good either way, good choice! :thumbsup2 But I'm kind of partial to the mustache, i think it looks good!

[mymainmouse]

:confused3

I tried to swing the vote one way or the other but it is still 10/10. I voted leave it off. He does look younger. But he looked nice the other way as well.
It's hard to get used to someone without facial hair. When my oldest was about 4 my dad decided to shave his beard off. She freaked out. She wouldn't come around him or look at him or let him talk to her. She would just hide. He grew it back .:rotfl:
He shaved it off permanently about 3 years ago. I have to admit it took me awhile to get used him without a beard myself.:)

Kelly,

When I met hubby he had a beard and mustache. After a while, I was kind of scared for him to shave it off... what if I didn't like what he looked like without it??? :confused3 When our first born (son) was almost a year, he was taking a nap and hubby decided to shave the beard (not the mustache). When DS woke up from his nap, he didn't know hubby at first. I actually have photos of him looking at his daddy with this questioning look. It was so cute. Then he realizes and hugs him, lol.

At that point, I told him to never grow the beard back, he looked much better without it. The mustache though, I've gone back and forth on. I told him it was a split vote (last night) and that I kind of think he should grow it back. He says 'I got use to shaving again and kind of like it off'!!!! lol, so who knows what will happen, but I'll keep you all posted.

[pjstevens]

Well 22 people have voted and as hard as it is for me to believe, it's completely tied!!!! 11 to grow back, 11 to leave it without!!!! :confused3

[IndyBride]

:bitelip: Isn't that funny! No pressure on the next person that votes!!! :rotfl:

[shezfrombermuda]

Now I am not a fan of facial hair but I think your husband looks good with the mustache! He also looks good without! :rotfl2: I think he looks younger with the mustache so I am voting to keep it!

[pjstevens]

Finally we are getting somewhere, lol. It's 13 to grow back and 11 to leave off, lol! (pretty bad the highlight of my evening is coming on to see in anyone else 'voted', lol). Have a great weekend ladies.

[chepic]

I voted grow it!!!!! Love a man with facial hair....just look at my husband!!

Thanks Cheryl,

I told him it was leaning towards him growing it back and he says, I kind of like it the way it is and if it makes me look more my age (we ALWAYS say how immature he is, lol)!!! We'll see.

[pjstevens]

I am sure I mentioned Abbey our pug before, but just wanted to update. Abbey developed diabetes in January. In late April, early May she went blind (very quick). We had her at the vet for ear infections a short time later and hubby asked about her eyes and could anything be done? Well we went to see a specialist (eye's for animals) and our baby has cataracts in both eyes. She is going to have surgery for them on Tuesday am (I am out of town until Sunday night). I am excited that my hubby loves our 'baby' so much to do this. I never would have looked into this knowing that it is ver expensive, but he said we HAVE to, it's our baby. When we left the vet, hubby said, good thing we already have our vow renewal and cruise/land trip all planned and booked, otherwise we wouldn't be going! I'll update you after she has her surgery to let you know if my baby can see my face again! I am so glad my husband loves our 'baby' as much as I do. Our kids are pretty much grown (youngest is now a senior) and she has become our fuzzy daughter!

[alissa2008]

I'll update you after she has her surgery to let you know if my baby can see my face again!

:goodvibes :goodvibes I'll send my good vibes and keep her in my thoughts!!!

:hippie:

[c4alymom]

Is it too late to vote???


I say leave it off, although he does look great either way!

By the way, I am enjoying reading you PJ. I am hoping for a VR in 2009 :)

[mymainmouse]

Just checking in to see how Abbey is doing. I hope she is doing well.:goodvibes

Thanks for joining along. I can't tell you how excited I am. I never thought I could have this much fun. Have you starting planning for a VR yet? Are you looking at DW or the DCL? I love following along in others PJ and TR.

Just checking in to see how Abbey is doing. I hope she is doing well.:goodvibes

Kelly,

Thanks for checking in. Abbey has been adjusting well. She is making out ok on the steps. She still get a bit disoriented at times though. Tomorrow, my hubby has to start her on meds four times a day and I am not there to help, so I know he'll be struggling (he works 12 hours on friday!).

[jennifaerie]

Patty, I'll be thinking of all of you over the next week. Nice, warm thoughts! :hug:

I am glad Abbey is adjusting well. I suppose it is difficult to not be able to see one day and then you can the next. That's a good difficulty though. :) I hope all is going well with her meds. I know it's not easy giving a dog any sort of medicine. Although mine doesn't do too badly. She's never had to have any for an extended length of time though. Dogs seem to know that you are trying to help.

I saw a show on the Travel Channel today that was all about the Disney Cruiseline. You are going to have such a good time. :cool1: I want to take the girls on one really badly. Maybe we'll have to go next year instead of the free dining. Free dining is such a good (cheap) deal though. Its hard to resist.:)

Take Care!

[pjstevens]

Abbey had her surgery yesterday and I get to pick her up this afternoon. I cannot wait for her to be able to see me again. She knows she is loved, but it had to be scary to see nothing all of a sudden. the doc said her eyesight should improve over the next few weeks, so she won't be running any races today he said, but in a few weeks! (not that abbey runs any races, she's a pug, she can't breathe when she runs, lol).

On the exercise note, it's one more full week of training for the 5k. I ran for 28 minutes monday and today, did 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down. Total was around 2.75 so I am almost there!!!!

[29apr00]

Hope Abbey's recovering is quick!! Poor baby!

I apologize. I thought Abbey already had her surgery when I wrote this. I thought she was taking eye drops for her eyes after the surgery and then probably her eyes were already getting better. I guess I need to pay better attention when I am reading. I am always missing important details.:confused3

Keep up the good work!:thumbsup2

[pjstevens]

Thanks Jennifer and Kelly. I can't wait to pick my baby up. Of course there will be lots of maintenance (drops, ointments, antibiotics) for a while, but in the end, it will be very worth it.

[chepic]

Lots of prayers to the little one and your family...our Bandit is our oldest child (he's 9 y.o) and the biggest 100# baby you will ever see in your life. When we go away, we get a babysitter for him at the house so we won't have to put him in a kennel.....so I can really feel for you.

Thanks Cheryl. Abbey would not survive in a kennel. She sleeps in bed with us (I know bad parents, lol). When we ALL went to Disney in December, she stayed with my sister and her family. Now they got their own pug, lol, they really loved her! I can't wait until they go away next month so their baby can come stay with us, lol.

[keenercam]

Patty-- I can't wait to hear how your sweet little Abbey is doing at home. Be sure to let us all know! :hug: pixiedust: :goodvibes:

Well this has been no help, the poll, lol it's 50/50. For now hubby is growing it back (cause I told him I think i like that better). we'll see, might shave it off again. thanks for all those that voted.

[WithDisneySpirit]

I am trying to break that tie because I am definitely a fan of the mustache :goodvibes I would cry if my DH shaved his mustache :eek:

Thanks Lisa. It's so odd, he's had it for so long that he looked SO different without it. But now that it's growing back, I'm not sure, lol.

[pjstevens]

I picked Abbey up just after 3pm today. She was so woozy and sleepy. But now, she is starting to act more herself. She wouldn't eat at all, but finally about 9pm she did eat some dinner and some treats! She is comign around and hopefully by tomorrow she'll be more herself.

For a couple of months, my DH had to shave his. For some reason there was a spot that didn't grow right. It was bare in that spot. :confused3 So, he started shaving and we didn't know if that would help. After awhile, he tried to grow it again and it grew back perfectly. :goodvibes It just confirmed for me that I like mustaches. My dad always had one too :)

Oh, I hope she is her old self soon with the new improvements, of course!!

Lisa,

now that you mention that, my dad always had a mustache, odd I never thought of that, lol. Hubby was afraid it was going to grow back gray so he was concerned when he first shaved it, but it's growing back fine.

Aww! She looks so sad!:( Poor thing. I hope she is doing alright. Dinner and treats are a good sign.:)

[pjstevens]

Well Abbey is definatley more herself today!!!! She slept well and ate her breakfast, got all her meds and is sleeping again (very normal for a puggie, lol). Thanks for your kind words and thoughs.

[Summer-Caitlin]

I have went with the leave it off option, he looks so much younger without it and it means you get to see more of his handsome face;)

I know what you mean though Steven has a sort of goatee and he shaved it off for a change and I just didn't like it. It's weird as when we got together he was always clean shaven, but I am so used to seeing him with facial hair though. Mind you it is very short, not a full blown mustache!

[jennifaerie]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear it, Patty! Give Abbey some kisses for me.

[keenercam]

Oh, I am so glad to hear that Abbey is getting back to herself. She looks so adorable in that picture. Is she wearing a pink sweater? Or is she covered with a blanket? What a darling! When will you know how improved her vision is?

Thanks Summer, scary, I keep going back and forth. I can't believe how young he looks when he shaved it off. He 'acts' very young at times, so that suits him, lol!

[pjstevens]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear it, Patty! Give Abbey some kisses for me.

Jennifer,

Thanks so much. I'll give her lots of hugs and kisses when I get home from work!

Thanks Cam! That is actually her harness (it's called a puppia) and it's very soft. Her regular harness seemed to 'rub' her fur away at times, and it wasn't tight, just the constant rubbing in the same area. This one is so cute on her (and I have a matching leash, lol). Abbey goes for her 1st (of many) rechecks next Tuesday so we'll see what they say, but we know she can see more, she's not walking into things and not getting disoriented (lost) in the room. All good signs! Sorry I missed you at the Y this am, you are so dedicated!

[29apr00]

Yeah! Glad Abbey is feeling better! She'll be chasing the birds in the back yard again in no time! :rotfl:

Glad to hear that Abbey is doing better. Kris and I are going to be getting our own dog in the next couple of weeks and I'm so excited :hyper:

That's great! Have you decided what kind you want? Honestly they are a lot of work, but the love they give in return is amazing!!!

[pjstevens]

Yeah! Glad Abbey is feeling better! She'll be chasing the birds in the back yard again in no time! :rotfl:

fortunately Abbey never chased birds, but if an animal came on tv (i.e. dog food commercial, bud beer horses, flea medicine, etc) she would go crazy, jumping at the tv and barking up a storm. Can't wait for that, lol!

[figmentfan814]

That's great! Have you decided what kind you want? Honestly they are a lot of work, but the love they give in return is amazing!!!

I've always grown up around beagles (my grandpa raised them) but we're thinking about getting a bassett. I worked at a dog obedience school in college, so I got to come in contact with all types of fantastic breeds. I probably would get another beagle except my mom's dog (who loves Kris and I to death) hates her own kind and she comes to spend the night at our house a lot! It's so funny, she loves all other kinds of dogs except other beagles! :confused:

That is so funny!!! Our first 'grandbaby' is a beagle. Our son and dil have a beagle (snoopy) who lives iwth us! She's funny, but that bark at times is annoying, lol. Keep me posted and post photos when you get yoru new 'baby'

[mymainmouse]

Glad Abbey is doing better. I felt bad for her because she looked so sad in that picture. :)

[pjstevens]

Thanks Kelly. She was pretty drugged up that evening and is looking much more 'bright eyed' now! We noticed a little section of her eye that looks cloudy so I have to call the vet by 8am. I'll let you knwo what's going on, hoping this is normal.

[pjstevens]

Ok, Abbey update (day two), lol. She's doing a LOT better today. I actually had to take her back to the vet because we noticed an area of her eye that appeared hazy and were concerned. Doc said it is like a bruise and will go away!!! She's going great (according to him) but now she is not feeling to well, her tummy is upset from the antibiotics so we have stopped them at the moment and pray she doesnt' get sick anymore.

[pjstevens]

Well, I am doing my first official 5k this week (Thursday evening) and another one on Sunday am! I ran 3.19 miles this am on the threadmill, so I can do this, but outside will be harder I know, so I may have to walk some, but that is ok, cause nine weeks ago I thought I would die doing 30 seconds of running, so this is a BIG improvement!

I bought hubby's outfit for our vow renewal this past week. I need to get him to try it on so I can take a pic and post it here. Very lightweight pants and a tropical looking shirt. I think the colors will look really good on him (tan, gray, white, not 'tropical - brights', lol).

Well I better get back to work (got a raise last week, woohoo, so I need to actually earn it some times, lol).

I'll post more as soon as I get the photo. (oh of course now hubby is growing his mustache back, you all vote to leave it off, lol). we'll see.

Does anyone know how to 'take the poll off' my page? couldn't find info on that.

[29apr00]

Please post pics of DH's outfit!! Where did you get it?

[pjstevens]

Please post pics of DH's outfit!! Where did you get it?

Jennifer, I hate to say it, but it's from Walmart, lol. I was waiting an HOUR for my doggies prescription the other day and started looking. They are really nice light weight dress pants (and not a yucky material, lol). And since I've been trying very hard to get stuff all paid before we go, I have been trying to pay cash/debit for as much as possible. It was such a great price! I'll take some pics tonight.

[pjstevens]

Here is an updated photo of Abbey, feeling better now! She goes for her check up tomorrow afternoon, but you can see her pretty eyes now.

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i202/pjstev222/100_3637.jpg

[WithDisneySpirit]

Oh, she looks so much happier now and bright-eyed :goodvibes What a sweetie!!

[pjstevens]

Ok, hubby tried on his outfit and the pants are too small, that so means another trip to Walmart. Here's a pic (not the greatest, since he kept goofing around).

I am so glad Abbey is getting better every day. Dale looks very nice in his outfit. I will have to check at Wal-mart for that shirt. It is the style my husband wanted. I am so glad everything is coming together for you. Your trip isn't that far away. Yay!!:goodvibes

I was looking for somethign just like this but the ones I saw were pretty expensive, so I was shocked when I saw this at Walmart. The entier outfit was probably $30~!!!!

That is an awesome price. :cool1: I saw some shirts similar to that today at JC Penney's but they were like 17.99. Thirty dollars for a whole outfit is so much better.:thumbsup2

Good luck with the 5K!!:goodvibes

Cheryl,

Abbey is doing great, we are so happy with her progress. I am hoping that I'll do ok tonight in the 5k, I've NEVER run before this spring but I've done the couch to 5k training thing and it's made it so 'doable' I can't wait, even if I don't run the entire thing, just completing it will be a big accomplishment for me.

That was my thought with hubby's shirt. I wanted something casual that he'd be comfy in that would still look nice with my dress.

DH's outfit looks great!

Thanks so much.

[pjstevens]

Ok, this is completely :offtopic: but I had to share. My daughter, Aubre was a competitive gymnast (until her back could not handle it). She competed during high school and then started working as in instructor for a while. She was selected as a volunteer to help setup and take down the equipment for the Olympic trials for gymnastics this week in Philadelphia!

That was enough for her, she loves to be anywhere near gymnatics stuff. Well, she ended up helping the 'right person' and as it turns out, she is now his 'side-kick' and has been given a full acess MATT pass for the week!!!! She'll be sitting on the side while her favorite sport is going on just feet away (well a lot of feet if on the other side, lol). She's in her glory! And I'm so happy for her. She's always wanted to go volunteer to work the olympics so this is the closest she may get.

Sorry, just had to share! :goodvibes

[keenercam]

Oh, Patty! I am so happy for Aubre!! :woohoo:

Good luck on your first 5k tonight! :cool1: I am so happy for you that your training has gone so well! Did you believe 2 1/2 months ago that you'd be running a 5k this summer? :cheer2:

Not on your life, lol. That's why everytime we had to run again, I'd look at you and say 'No, I don't want too' but each time, you kept me going. Thanks so much my dear friend!

[keenercam]

My pleasure. Truly. Really looking forward to sharing your first race with you!

[pjstevens]

Yes, I am shouting, lol.... I ran my first 5k race!!!!! :cool1: I cannot believe my first race and we ran (well there were a few hills that i walked fast on). I need to learn to breathe properly as I know I am not doing that right thus getting very winded.

[newyearsbride]

CONGRATS!:banana:

[Goldeelox9]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! What a great thing! :cool1: :thumbsup2

Thanks Angela. Have a great trip!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! What a great thing! :cool1: :thumbsup2

Thanks Lisa. I can't believe that I did it. I've always 'wanted' to run, but really had no desire to figure this out, lol.

Congratulations, Patty!! party: I'm so proud of you!!

Jennifer, thank you! :goodvibes

[pjstevens]

:cool1: Great job!

Thanks Kelly!!! I'm feeling pretty good today (my knee bothers me afterwards, but no different than when I am running at the Y).

[keenercam]

Congratulations, sweetie! I am so proud of you! :yay: :woohoo: :banana: :cheer2: party:

Thanks so much Cam, if it weren't for you and your dedication, I would of NEVER made it this far! :worship:

You are such a special person and I am so glad you are in my life! :hug:

[pjstevens]

I ran my second 5k today (two minutes faster than Thursday!!!!) :cool1:

My daughter ran with me (well not really with me, she said good bye, see you at the end, :rotfl: ). She's 20 and hasn't run 'officially' since high school (then she only ran senior year). She came in 2nd in her age group!!! I'm so proud of her. But I'm sure she will pay for it tomorrow as her back is bad.

[mymainmouse]

You go girls! I am so proud that you ran 2 5ks. Too bad we don't live in the same area then I would have others to motivate me to workout. ::yes::

[pjstevens]

I know Kelly, it is so much more fun to work out iwth a buddy. I would never of kept this up if it weren't for knowing that someone was meeting me at the gym. And I found out I beat my time by more than three minutes on Sunday's run!!!! Now, I am looking to see what I can run, lol.

[Lynn5700]

Ok, this is completely :offtopic: but I had to share. My daughter, Aubre was a competitive gymnast (until her back could not handle it). She competed during high school and then started working as in instructor for a while. She was selected as a volunteer to help setup and take down the equipment for the Olympic trials for gymnastics this week in Philadelphia!

That was enough for her, she loves to be anywhere near gymnatics stuff. Well, she ended up helping the 'right person' and as it turns out, she is now his 'side-kick' and has been given a full acess MATT pass for the week!!!! She'll be sitting on the side while her favorite sport is going on just feet away (well a lot of feet if on the other side, lol). She's in her glory! And I'm so happy for her. She's always wanted to go volunteer to work the olympics so this is the closest she may get.

Sorry, just had to share! :goodvibes

Aww good for her!!! That is so awesome :)

Ok, hubby tried on his outfit and the pants are too small, that so means another trip to Walmart. Here's a pic (not the greatest, since he kept goofing around).

I know what you mean about it being better to work out with a buddy. Before we moved here I used to walk several miles every day with a friend. Once we moved I lost my walking buddy. I still try to go myself but it can be boring. I have tried to get my neighbor to walk with me but she won't. My dog is a good walking buddy but it is too easy to tell her no if I don't feel like going. :rotfl:

[pjstevens]

My dog is a good walking buddy but it is too easy to tell her no if I don't feel like going. :rotfl:

Kelly,

My puggie likes to go for walks, but she hardly goes a half block and wants to go home cause she knows there is a treat after the walk, lol. :lmao:

Lynn, Thanks! I really like the 'tropical' look of the outfit and it seems to be so nice and light that he won't get hot in it. Now to figure out what he's going to wear on his feet, lol.

I love his outfit! Great choice!!!

Mikkel, Thanks so much. I was so tickled by your engagement story. You look so cute.

[pjstevens]

Well we FINALLY put in our passport applications!!! WOOOOHOOO!!! It's been on the plans for a while, but to come up with $200 at one shot something more important took that place. We got our photos last week and just yesterday got to the post office!!! Now we just wait. I've read lately that it's not been long, only a couple weeks to get them. I hope so, just makes it seem more real.

I have had some MAJOR scale victories!!!!! :cool1: I have been over a certain weight on the scale for more than ten years and I am finally over that hump and the weight is slowly coming off. I hate to say, but I switched to working out every other day while my workout buddy was away and it seems to be making a difference. I'll see what I do when she gets back later today. But I can really finally 'see' a difference.

My sis and I took our father to brunch back on Father's day weekend and here's a pic of us.

Hey! I think I have that skort..did you get it at Penny's???

LOL, I did! I love it, bought two there and then got three more at Walmart! I love that they don't look like shorts in the front or back, so that way I can wear them to work!

[pjstevens]

Way to go on your health goals :thumbsup2 and the passport applications! :goodvibes

Thanks so much Lisa. I have been working a long time to see some results. I know that slow is a better way to lose, but darn I want to see that scale move! Can't wait to read more of your vow renewal. Your dress was beautiful!

[DisneyDmbNut]

me too!! I got the denim one the one you are wearing and the tan one..got them for $9.99..bought them in a 16 then had to buy them later in a 14

i wear them to work

Great job Betsy on the shrinking size!!! You are going to be so amazing in your dress! Can't wait for your video and pics, so hurry up and move the calendar (that way, then mine will be here sooner too).

[pjstevens]

We got our first gift from the registry!!! :cool1: I was so excited!!!! I really didn't expect anyone to get us anything, so this was an amazing suprise!! Now I better find my gift card that you use for it! :confused3

[29apr00]

Great job on the weight loss!! Woo hooo!!!

I hear you on the passports. I have to renew mine, and get ones for the kids, and i can see it getting pushed back and back too. I should just do 1 a month or something.

[pjstevens]

(ok, I thought I posted this and it's not here) :confused3

Ok, I'll try to make this short. When we booked the cruise, we were NOT doing the land portion (due to money). Then hubby decided that we should. AFter checking flights and all, it would cost us another $150 to fly home on southwest (we already had tickets to come home on the 11th via air tran, but they would charge us $150 to change plus any increase). So we booked with southwest and thought we'll just eat the difference.

This week, I get an email from airtran. They changed the time for our return flight (the one we were not goign to be using) from 7pm to 8:30 AM!!!!! Well you can't make an 8:30 am flight from the cruise port, so I called and they let me cancel my flight!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!! I had the option to cancel just that part of it and keep the flight down, but it was costing me $200 to keep the flight down so I cancelled both, knowing i could book with southwest for less than that (without a ding). So I am looking online today and find a US (scareways as we call them) for $149! (this is for both of us)!!!! I am getting a refund from airtran of $358 and paying $149 for my new tics! I'm so excited. Now if i could only convince hubby to let me use that $200 towards a photoshoot with Randy Chapman, I'd be all set!

[Keira1387]

Thats awesome! Your hubby should let you use for a session with Randy!!!!

[chepic]

It's your lucky day!!!!!!!!! :banana:

[mymainmouse]

Oh my goodness! You are having a great day!:cool1: That is so cool about the airline tickets! Isn't it nice to have something go your way once in awhile?:yay:

You can tell a difference from your Christmas photo and your Father's Day photo. Keep up the good work.:thumbsup2 :goodvibes I know it can be discouraging when the scale isn't moving fast enough.

Your passport will be here before you know it. We got ours late last fall (around Thanksgiving, maybe) and had them before Christmas. It didn't seem to take as long as the predicted 6-8 weeks. More like 3-4 weeks. I just had ours out the other day. I was telling my husband they were getting dusty and needed to be used.:)

Thanks Kelly. It is really nice when something goes the right way for a change. I've read recently about people getting their passports in two weeks or so, so I am sure we have nothing to worry about. I think you need to get hubby moving on using those passports. I'm hoping once we get them that we'll actually need to use them again SOON!!!! (but never know :confused: )

[pjstevens]

TWO MONTHS UNTIL OUR CRUISE (AND ONE DAY LATER OUR VOW RENEWAL)!!!! :goodvibes

woo hoo! Can't wait to hear all about it!

I think hubby wants to take another cruise. It's just a matter of when. We promised the girls that we would take them the next time we go. I just don't know when. We are already taking them out of school for 5 days this fall for WDW. I don't think we better take them out anymore than that. They have a week for spring break but it's probably the same time as every other school so it could be a bad time. I guess we'll wait and see.

Yay!:yay: Your'e at the 2 month mark!!

[padisneyfour]

2 months and counting!!!! That is exciting.....:goodvibes

[keenercam]

Sending lots of pixiedust: for quick passport turnaround! :woohoo: And you are definitely looking MUCH smaller. I notice at least once a week. :thumbsup2 Keep up the great work, sweetie! :hug:

[pjstevens]

I can't believe TWO MONTHS!!!! and it will finally be here! I am so excited and each day gets me just a tiny bit closer. I'll tell you NO bad dreams last night, thankfully. Oh wait, I think i forgot to post my latest bad dream here, lol. I've told a few people, so I thought I posted, but NO, forgot all together... ok, a couple nights ago, I have this lovely dream.

You have to take a little boat from the ship to CC and for some reason my VR was there (even though its not). I had to get dressed there, not on the ship. I had my dress with me but it disappeared on CC. Then the cake wasn't together, and by not together, I mean it was like little petit fours they were going to PUT TOGETHER to make my cake!!!!! I was like NO way. Nothing was right. Oh, wait to top it off, hubby wasn't there. Not sure what happened to him? And I was really mad cause there was no photographer to take our photo when we got to the ship and they didn't announce us like I've read so much about when you board the ship!!!!

Needless to say, I think I've got some stress issues going on making me dream like this!

[WDBRDWLK]

OMG you are stressing way to much! Relax, it's Disney! The next two months will fly by and before you know it you will be packing for your cruise. Your VR will be awesome. Let me know if you have any questions, our VR was almost 2.5 yrs ago, seems like it was yesterday! We had so much to display that we purchased a curio cabinet for our living room. So every day we can reminise on our fantastic trip.

[DisneyDmbNut]

ha ha ha...last night, I dreamed that I was on the ship but forgot to bring my suitcase..I was trying to get my dog sitter to fedex me my clothes in Port Canaveral!

Thank you so much for the offer. I remember looking at your photos a while ago when i was just starting out. Everything looked so nice. I know, i need to not worry about so much (and really i don't think I am, but I guess deep inside my head, something is worrying, lol).

[pjstevens]

ha ha ha...last night, I dreamed that I was on the ship but forgot to bring my suitcase..I was trying to get my dog sitter to fedex me my clothes in Port Canaveral!

Betsy,

I think our brains are playing tricks on us!!! At least you ahve the first cruise to realize if you forgot anything, hopefully you won't either!

[pjstevens]

I stopped by and paid off my dress yesterday and found out it is due to ship on the 21st!!!!! So, hopefully I'll have it by the end of the month!!!!

I ran my third 5k on Thursday night. It was tougher than the first two. I think a combo of the high humidity and temp and the REALLY big hill!!!! I did two miles this am with my workout buddy (CAM!!!!) and can't believe I am going to do another 5k next Saturday. :banana: Got to keep working to make sure this dress fits when it comes in.

[DisneyLaura]

Congrats on the run! Someday I will run in the WDW marathon, that's my goal.

[padisneyfour]

Thanks Laura. I had never run before this spring, so I am so excited I've gotten into this. My daughter would now like to do the Disney marathon, but I think that's a LONG way off for me. (even the half marathon is really LONG).

congrats on paying off your dress!:goodvibes


Thanks Tammy, I was so excited to make that payment and just knowing it will be coming in soon!!!! YEA!!!

Yeah for paying off the dress!! Can't wait to see pics of you in your ULTRA SEXY dress!!!:cool1:

[mymainmouse]

Yay:yay: for paying off your dress! Yay:yay: for all the 5ks your doing! That is so great. Keep up the good work. When the dress comes in I think the only problem you might have is it might be too big.:thumbsup2 That is a good problem to have.:)

Thanks Kelly. Thats what my work out buddy says, but I just don't know. I can't wait to at least try it on and know for sure if I have some major work to do, or some alterations.

[mymainmouse]

Thanks Kelly. Thats what my work out buddy says, but I just don't know. I can't wait to at least try it on and know for sure if I have some major work to do, or some alterations.

I think it is going to be fine. If it comes in on the 21st that should give you plenty of time to get it altered if it is too big.

I know it is nerve racking to prepare for something like this but it will all be fine. If there is a little snafu it will just give you a funny story for years later.:laughing:

[pjstevens]

Patricia;

One of my patients has all these superstions; won't put her pocketbook on the floor because it brings bad luck....stuff like that. Anyway, last night I had this strange dream that across the street from my house, there were two wedding parties getting their pictures taken because there were these beautiful gardens. I dreamt I lived in the south with this huge house with a wrap-a-round porch. So I was telling Sara this, and she says dreaming of weddings is a sign of someone dieing :scared1: . So I said what are you talking about!!!!!!!!! I told her not to tell me that stuff anymore!! :)

Cheryl

Oh my goodness Cheryl, I wouldn't want to know something like that either. Fortunately, I am not superstitious of I'd call this entire thing off. I've had so many bizzare dreams that anything can go wrong. Honestly, I guess deep down, I must be worried and I've heard again and again, how to not worry with DCL it's all taken care of.

[pjstevens]

Well I had to make a decision that I didn't want to make, but I cancelled our sitting with Randy that I was going to have at the Poly. I really love his work and would love to do that, but it was time to act mature and realize that hubby's job is in jeaopardy and I need to not waste MORE money on MORE photos. We will have some great ones (hopefully) from the ceremony on board and the ship. We will also do a photo pass shoot at the Poly (i think that's the one I want to do).

I got my refund back from Airtran and I started buying some little items for our cruise. I am 'trying' to make paperbag scrapbooks for our other Dismates that we'll be meeting up with on the ship (and doing the FE exchange with).

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!! Guess what!!!????

45 days til our cruise!!!!

Sorry about the having to cancel the shoot with Randy. Like you said, though, I am sure you'll have a lot of other great pictures. On our cruise they had several backdrops with different photographers taking pictures. And you'll still have the photopass pics at the Poly.:)

I am looking forward to our shoot. I can't make a reservation until one month out. By then, I should see some of the newer places and then decide, but I'm pretty sure the Poly is what we'll go for.

[pjstevens]

Just think, you can go back in 10 years and do it all again in DW and have your pictures taken then!! :goodvibes

che

Yea, Cheryl, I'm sure hubby will go for that, lol. Never know. My daughter wants a Disney wedding (she's not even seeing someone right now, lol), but after working at Disney for the semester, and seeing a wedding at the WP, she's hooked, lol!!! So, we'll get Randy at that time!

[29apr00]

Sorry you had to cancel Randy, Patty. you know i can totally relate to that right now. :guilty: life sucks at all the wrong times.

45 days!! WOO HOO!! and i'm still at 499!!! :rotfl:

Hay Patty - found your PJ and trying to catch up. I'm still back on about page 12 but I'm getting there.

So exciting - you are getting so close. I'll have to comment more when I "really" know what's going on :rotfl: Heck, I'm back still back in May so who knows what may have happened between then and now :flower3:

Hey Pixie, Thanks for stopping by. Honestly not much has happened. I think I did most of my stuff earlier on. I'm waiting for my gown to arrive right now and getting things ready for the cruise.

[xoxheather420oxo]

Sorry you had to cancel the photo session but i'm sure the photo pass session will be good as well??? could you tell me what that is and how much it costs???

[pjstevens]

Sorry you had to cancel the photo session but i'm sure the photo pass session will be good as well??? could you tell me what that is and how much it costs???

Hi Heather. The photo pass session at the resorts is $25 if your prebuy the photopass cd. If not, it is $50 (for the sitting).

I totally understand. I wouldn't switch with me either.;) :rotfl: I am guessing that the Poly would have a tropical theme? That would go well with your cruise. It is one of my dreams to stay there some day. Either that or actually go to somewhere Polynesian. Maybe someday it'll happen.:)

I would love to stay in a deluxe some day. Hubby mentioned something about AKL for a night this trip. He had NO idea how much more that is a night than Pop. And the Poly is even more, I believe.

[padisneyfour]

Patty, Hi! Just catching up. sorry to hear about randy but maybe another trip down the line-:goodvibes. The paper bag scrap books sound neat for your ship mates! I have played with that idea too! You are getting so close- it will be here before you know it!:cool1:

[mymainmouse]

I think your'e right. I believe the AKL is one of the more "inexpensive" of the Deluxe resorts. :laughing: I think the girls would love to stay at AKL but it's not going to happen anytime soon. For now we are just going to have to settle for eating at Boma and visiting the AKL.:)

Your'e getting closer to your trip time! Yay!:cool1:

[chepic]

My dream is to stay in the castle....or the Poly....whichever I can afford first...:lmao: Probably neither at the rate I am going.

che

[XmasPixie]

:drive:

Wow, finally all caught up! Let's see - love your dress. It is beautiful and will be perfect for you and the cruise. Has it arrived yet? Congrats on all the running and weight loss. Congrats on becoming a gramma soon.

You are getting so close :yay: !!!!

[pjstevens]

Well I thought I'd call to check on my dress, since I was told it was shipping early last week! When I got the person from the shop, she mentions that it's been in since the 14th??!!!! Didn't they reach you!!!???? WHAT IS IT WITH PEOPLE!!!!! Come on, you know I am dying to get this dress and you don't call me!!!!! So needless to say, my buddy Cam and I are going tonight to pick up my dress!!! I do not have undergarmets for it yet, as I want to see how low it actually comes and what I can wear underneath it (since I cannot go without support!!!) (even though hubby will stop in and read this, he'll probably be drooling for me to go without any undergarmets!!!)

I'll let you know how I make out later on!

[padisneyfour]

WOO HOO! Your dress is here! :cool1: That is exciting- have fun and can hardly wait to see it!:goodvibes

[keenercam]

Oh, Patty, I am so excited!! Thank you so much for sharing this exciting experience with me! :hug:

BTW, I still think you should have a slit added up to your thigh to show your newly toned & gorgeous legs from all the running you've been doing. ;) Then, Dale will really go ga-ga! Yeah, you'd better find somewhere else for him to get dressed and surprise him outside your cabin or you might be late to your own VR! :lmao:

Hey, Cam, you are so bad!!!! :lmao: I can't wait. Now stop playing on the Dis and finish up work so we can get my dress!!!! (jk, got nothing else going on for the evening, so whenever you get home is fine).

[chepic]

Do we get to see a picture of this new and sexy leg?????

che

[DisneyDmbNut]

slit up the leg is good!! makes dancing in your dress easy!!

and you should find somewhere else to dress..or make him go somewhere while you do...DH didn't see me for 2 hours before I came out and he said it took his breath away when I stepped out the door!!

No slit in this dress, but I'll see what else I bring along. No Cheryl, I do not have any photos of my leg, lol, thankfully. Cam is way to sweet, complimenting me. She always makes me feel good, yet she's the one who so inspires me. She's doing great and looking sooo good! I can't wait for her VR photos to be here! :goodvibes

[pjstevens]

Ok, I picked up my dress!!!! Need some alterations though. The only photo I have is a little fuzzy, but I am holding the straps up, as they need to be shortened. If you would like to see, send me a pm, cause my lovely hubby likes to lurk here and I dont' want him to see until our VR!!!!

:cool1:

[DisneyBrideToni]

YAY FOR GETTING YOUR DRESS!!! HOW EXCITING! :cool1:

[WithDisneySpirit]

Beautiful dress, Patty! I had to come share that I loved it :lovestruc

Beautiful dress, Patty! I had to come share that I loved it :lovestruc

Thanks Lisa. Yea, I've been working hard since mid March to get in shape. I don't see it some times, but other times, I am surprised when I walk by a window and see the reflection isn't as big as I remember :goodvibes

[mymainmouse]

Your dress is beautiful and you look wonderful in it. :thumbsup2 You are going to knock Hubby's socks off!:)

[IndyBride]

Kelly and Val,

Thanks so much. I got shoes last night (a friend lent me hers) that will look great. Just got to find that undergarmet so I dont' fall out of it, lol. My buddy Cam has lent me actually TWO beautiful necklaces and earrings. Now I have to try my dress on again to see which looks better, lol. Any reason to put my dress on is a wonderful thing.

[padisneyfour]

patty your dress looks beautiful- you will look amazing and now you can try on jewelry too! WOW!!! ENJOY!:goodvibes

[pjstevens]

patty your dress looks beautiful- you will look amazing and now you can try on jewelry too! WOW!!! ENJOY!:goodvibes

Thanks Tammy. I have the best friend in Cam. She totally understands where I'm coming from, what will look good with my dress. None of my other friends would even get why in the world we are doing this, but they are not Disney addicts like us, lol.

[pjstevens]

Ok, I finally got out and found a bra. Granted I have NOT tried it on with my dress yet. That will hopefully be tonight. I also got some dermablend which was suggested as something to cover my tats for our vow renewal. I really want my photos to look classy so I think I'll cover them. I was really surprised that the gal at Ulta told me to hold on to my receipt and return it afterwards since I am only using it one time, lol. I couldn't believe that!!!

So hopefully I'll try on my dress iwth the undergarments tonight and the jewlery so I can pick which to wear. I'll post a link cause hubby said he would NOT click on a link. He doesn't want to ruin the surprise of waiting all this time.

[pjstevens]

Ok, hubby if you are here do NOT click on the link below.

I found a bra, still not quite right, so I may have the front stitched up a little of I might go with the sew in ones, we'll see after I talk to my seamstress.

This is the necklace and earrings I am wearing (my borrowed from my friend Cam).

[mymainmouse]

Pat,
You look awesome!! :cool1: That is so nice that Cam is letting you borrow the jewelry. You are just going to look so nice for your VR. I hope you are able to surprise your hubby.

NO PEEKING HUBBY!!!:mad: :laughing:

[xoxheather420oxo]

I love your dress and you do look great in it!!!!

[keenercam]

Oh, sweetie, you look stunning! LOVE how the dress looks, and your jewelry choice is absolutely perfect! Dale -- don't look!!! ;) WOW!!! I think you could have the very bottom of the center stitched a bit and it still will have that vavavoom feeling. :cloud9: But, you'll feel comfortable having an undergarment that really makes the dress look great. :yay:

[chepic]

Looks great....but you still need the slit up the side...;)

che

[DisneyDmbNut]

Lane Bryant makes a LOW cut bra..if you need a bigger size..if not, you can have cups sewn in..I could not go that route!! LOL..try LB...I just bought one there that is called "the plunge" I think

[XmasPixie]

It's so beautiful! I'm sure just a few stitches, some cups, or some low plunge bra will be all it needs. Perfect choice for you!

:love:

[pjstevens]

Our son and daughter in law are having a GIRL!!!!! We are so excited. I can't wait to meet her (granted got 4.5 months to go!). Just had to share my exciting news with you!

On the vr front, one month and we'll be at the Radisson at the Port waiting to cruise!!!! I can't believe it's finally getting closer. It seems some days are so slow, yet I have enough stuff to keep busy that I shouldn't want to push the days by.

[padisneyfour]

Congratulations! :cloud9: It is so cool that you know what your son and daughter in law are having. This way if you just "happen" to see any cute baby girl clothes on sale or something that is just too cute to pass up you can get it. :laughing: Just think of all the cute baby girl clothes at Disney! And she'll need a stuffed animal or two. :laughing:

Thanks Christina. He was on vacation this week, he's off (I'm working). He shaved it off again this week and he does look younger. I like it when it's just growing back, not too thick, but I also do like it off.

[Summer-Caitlin]

I know I'm not on this site as much as I would like to be, planning this move to Canada is taking a lot more time than I would like.

But I just wanted to drop in and Congratulate you first on your grandaughter to be:hug: I am sure you are going to spoil her rotten, but I also wanted to say that I think you look beautiful in your wedding dress and your husband is going to be speechless when he sees you.

You have always been an avid reader of my TR and I really appreciate you reading along, even after a year, you still pop in. I may not have commented much on your PJ but I really hope you do a TR, I would love to read it:hug:

You are so close to the big day and I will be sure to pop in again nearer the time. I am sending Tinkerbell your way in advance though as I want you to get as much pixie dust from her as we did:tink:

Hugs to you Patrica:hug:

You are so sweet. I have loved reading along in your PJ/TR and LOVE to look at your pics and even watched part of your video again. It's just so precious. Can't wait til you get some time to settle down and finish. I know you have a lot going on, but keep stopping in to let us know how you are doing. I am hoping we'll see some :tink: pixie dust on our trip. But just getting away, the two of us, will be :wizard: magical!

First, he has NO IDEA how to use my camera, so I had to give instructions first. Really I am sure we will wear these proudly. He seemed to like his and I like how comfy mine is.

[mymainmouse]

Yay!:cool1:

I love your hats. I wish I could get my husband to wear a fun hat like that. He did pick out a Grumpy hat last year at WDW. I guess its a step in the right direction.:rolleyes:

I can't wait to hear about your VR, cruise, and dinner at Palo. Palo looks absolutely delicious.

Not much longer now!:yay:

[DisneyDmbNut]

i can't believe you are so close!!! This time last month I was a week away!! Enjoy EVERY moment..i remember trying to take it all in because I wanted to remember it forever!

[pjstevens]

Well Saturday evening I get a call from a recorded message from Chase asking to confirm or deny some recent activity on our Disney Visa! Well I did NOT nor did anyone in my family try to purchase $145 and change from a cosmetic company and have the items shipped overseas so it was denied. I was glad they had called, but was left on hold forever and then basically told that someone would call me back, or I could call back this certain number with any questions. Well the evening went on and no one called, so I called the number and the first thing it asked for was my full account number!!!! So needless to say, NO way was I putting that in and red flags were going off. Hubby was sure it was a hoax! On Sunday when we still had not heard back, we called the number on the back of our Disney Visa and guess what!!??? It was legitimate. They said, 'Thank you for returning our call!!!!!' So needless to say, someone got our numbers (I guess we were one of the 40 million stolen a week or so ago). As soon as I confirmed that I did not authorize the purchase, BAM the account was closed!!! 'We will mail a new card out to you, you should have it in five business days' WAIT!!!! I have reward points I wanted to get off there this weekend!!!! I cannot access my account at all, it's gone!!!! I am hoping that when I get my new card in the next few days that I don't have any problem getting our points transferred!

Ok, enough for my rant. Oh, and I promise I'll get some better pics of us in our hats, lol!

Thanks Laura, I am pretty certain there will not be a problem and I already have a card, so I just need to transfer them to the rewards card, just got to wait til I get an actual card or account number.

[ktmetke]

I'm so sorry about your Disney Visa..........I hope you get your points issue worked out.........I know how precious they are to me and what we would miss out on at Disney without them.........we use them to buy all the little treats, snacks, and souvenirs everyone asks for!!! Here's some Pixie Dust your way!! pixiedust:

We have had calls from Disney Visa regarding activity in the past...I was at a conference in Florida and used the card the samy time my husband was using it in RI....so they do call. We also had to call when we were booking our trip in Russia so that they would let the charge occur.

Hopefully this will be the last issue with yours!!

BTW...love the hats.

Cheryl,

it is good to know that they do keep an eye on things. I'd rather be safe than have them permitting all these charges. I've heard of telling them you are going out of the country so they realize it is you (in case they cant' reach you).

[pjstevens]

Finally took a photo of my shoes my girlfriend lent me.

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i202/pjstev222/private/100_3701.jpg

And this is my something blue, I had this label made for my dress.

[Summer-Caitlin]

Pat, no fair, I can't see the pictures, is it just me?

Sorry to hear about your Visa problems, we have had our credit card hacked twice and more recently had our Amazon account hacked. There is nothing worse when they have to cancel it and reissue. Here's hoping it all gets sorted out quickly.

Not long now...:woohoo:

[padisneyfour]

Patty, the shoes look awesome very shiny :cool2: and really like the dress label..... It is getting so close!!!!:goodvibes I am excited for and your DH!:banana:

[jennifaerie]

I love the label! That's really sweet.

[29apr00]

Love the label!! It's so pretty! Where did you get it?

Sorry about your Visa!! Join the club!! I've had it happen 3 X!!!! Twice this year! It so sucks! And I also requested my rewards card for our trip in May, and never got it, but with all the other planning i had done, compeltely forgot about it. So i called Chase in July, after i orderd it in April. They sent me a new one and credited all the points back to it also! :thumbsup2

[pjstevens]

Pat, no fair, I can't see the pictures, is it just me?

Summer, I sent you a pm with a link hope you are able to see them now.


Patty, the shoes look awesome very shiny :cool2: and really like the dress label..... It is getting so close!!!!:goodvibes I am excited for and your DH!:banana:

Tammy, I think the shoes looks so 'shiny' due to the flash. They are sequins on them and my dress has that silver beading under the bust area so I think they go good with it, but honestly you won't see them. I just wanted some height (you know the appearance of being 'taller' will make me look less wide, lol). I couldn't think of what to do for my blue and saw these labels a while ago. I JUST ordered that Sunday am and it came yesterday!!! I am impressed. It's a little bigger than I thought it would be, glad I ordered the 'smaller' one.

[mymainmouse]

I love your shoes and the label is such a cool idea.

I am glad everything worked out with Chase. I hope you will get your rewards without any problems. I just checked our account to make sure nothing was wrong and it looks okay.

The account number from another credit card of ours was stolen several years ago. They called us to check on it after movie tickets were purchased in California. Luckily that was all the theives bought.

We are in the 20's now too! :cool1:

[pjstevens]

Love the label!! It's so pretty! Where did you get it?


Jennifer, I sent you a pm with the info. We've had our Discover number stolen a few years ago and same thing, once they confirmed, it was cancelled and we got a new one (and they moved our 'points' over for that). I think I need to call though, I was hoping to have my card by today!

I love your shoes and the label is such a cool idea.

We are in the 20's now too! :cool1:

Ah, I see them now. Thank you for the PM, but for some reason I can see them in your post now:confused3

Anyway, the shoes are stunning, they are so the type of shoes I love!!!:love: They are so sparkly, and they look very comfortable, you will definitely be able to dance in them;)

I absolutely love the label, that is so sweet. I don't think I had anything blue, trying to think, but I don't think I did.

I can't wait to see some wedding pics, roll on 3 weeks!!!!

Summer,

Thanks, glad you could see them now. I am not sure why that happens but every once in a while some pics won't show up for me. I don't recall having something blue the first time we got married (oh wait, I think I had a garter, but with no band/no dancing) there was no taking it off and throwing it or the flowers. Three weeks today we'll be sitting aboard the Disney Wonder waiting to Sail Away!!!!


I LOVE your shoes!!! :cool1:

Karen,

I spent an evening hitting every shoe store with a friend when all of a sudden she says, I have a pair of silver shoes that might fit you!!! They are PERFECT with my dress and I love shoes I can kick off when I'm not 'showing them'.
