It's NEVER Too Late, for Number 8 - the most UNOFFICIAL, 'official' AKL thread yet!

[kimmar067]

It has been a very busy couple of weeks. I am sorry I have not been here much at all. Our friend in San Diego passed so we were there to help and attend the services. It is so sad that he was young but he is out of pain now and in a much better place. His wife has a sister and brother in law who have come to stay with her for a couple months to help her sort things out. Our friends have a guest house on their property so the living arrangements should be perfect for this. We are thankful he passed before we left and not while we were gone as he and his wife had made us promise to go on vacation and stay on vacation no matter what happend. Which we would not have been able to to. Feeling so many emotions this morning.....

....I could say that I know he's in a better place, but that doesn't make the pain of the loss any easier. You obviously are a great friend, so I'm sure that they are thankful that you were able to help them....alas, that much-needed vacay will be a little bit bittersweet, but just relish all those happy moments together and keep his spirit in your heart.... Remember, we are here for you!

Hi, Pam.
Not really feeling up to snuff yet. But I will!!


At this point in our lives I would rather look 8 months pregnant that be 8 months pregnant...

Take care, Kathy!

I am sorry to hear that you lost your friend, Ann. for you and his family.

Elin, hope you feel better soon!

It's still hurts when I laugh too hard.

 

[TyRy]

Ann- I'm so sorry on the loss of your friend. It's never easy, no matter the circumstances.

 

[RachelTori]

Hi, Js & Ks!

Ann, I am so sorry about your friend. It is so good that you were able to spend time with them recently.

Kathy, so glad to hear you are on the mend.

Elin, get any colds or other illness out of the way NOW so that you are well for the trip! Hope you are feeling better.


I am on hold with Disney now (for over 15 minutes) to cancel my 10/7 room reservation at Art of Animation --- why won't they pick up?!!

I found out I will be going to a Base on the west coast for almost 2 weeks and I just can't go to WDW on 10/7 -- I'm going to need a day to do laundry, pay bills (and sleep!). I changed my flight with Airtran earlier -- that was easy; Disney, not so much!!

Going out to dinner now with my colleagues. We had some rough weather here in NC earlier today, but things are calm at the moment. My call to Disney will have to wait!

 

[franandaj]

Ann - so sorry about your loss. You were good friends to them.

Elin - I hope you feel better soon.

Kathy - I hope that you start feeling better soon.

Laura - What base on the West Coast are you going to?

 

[wendypooh]

Evening J's & K's - hope everyone is well - not feeling too good today, sinuses......... ugghh. My DS leaves for Hawaii in exactly a month, we are hoping to go out and see them in a couple weeks, before they leave. I may just sneak into a suitcase and go with them!! LOL


SO, did Kim ever tell us what happened on the dvc boards??

Kathy, so glad to see you post. I hope you feel better very soon, just rest and take care of yourself!!

Ann - I'm so sorry about your friend. HUGS

Elin - feel better, my sinuses are acting up, been feeling ickky all day!!

Jen - good to see you, hope your waitlist comes thru!!

Pam - NO, I didn't do the whole project - just helped - lol

Laura - hope your trip is going smoothly!!

Wendy, I am starting to understand how you feel about the move to Hawaii. My son & DIL are in the early planning stages of a move to New Zealand. It will be for 1 to 2 years. I see a NZ trip in my future!

Good morning to all J's & K's! It is still dark out side here. . The house is quite and I am waiting for my coffee to brew. The big day has finally arrived!!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for your thought regarding our friends passing. Hugs to you all. We will be at Shades of Green tonight for 5 nights then moving over to Beach Club and finishing off our trip at my beloved AKL. If any one has something they want me to check out at any of those resorts or in the parks just let me know. I'm happy to help as much as possible.

I am not quite awake, only got about 3 1/2 hours sleep. Hope I don't snore or drool on the plane. ROLFL. Hugs everyone.

Good Morning Jamborinis and Kidanites!

I'm getting better each day. I'm still limited to my activities--basically walking. I look and feel like I'm eight months pregnant.

Glad to hear that you are doing well and up walking around.

 

[dgbg100106]

Good Morining Everyone!

It has been a very busy couple of weeks. I am sorry I have not been here much at all. Our friend in San Diego passed so we were there to help and attend the services. It is so sad that he was young but he is out of pain now and in a much better place. His wife has a sister and brother in law who have come to stay with her for a couple months to help her sort things out. Our friends have a guest house on their property so the living arrangements should be perfect for this. We are thankful he passed before we left and not while we were gone as he and his wife had made us promise to go on vacation and stay on vacation no matter what happend. Which we would not have been able to to. Feeling so many emotions this morning.

Today is pay bills, pack the last minutes items and carry on. We fly out tomorrow morning. I will have my i Pad, hope to update you all during out trip or at least check in.

Kathy (JohnsMom) So good to see you post here, not sure if you have been on the DIS since your surgery as I have some catching up to do. Rest, only do what your body tells you to do. You are in my prayers and thoughts.

Laura - So sorry about the company making your drive and basically do a complete turn around. I certainly would speak up to them too. Say safe, I hope you get some good nights of sleep.

Alison - I hope you got my PM the other day. Let me know as it was the day the DIS was wiggin out off and on. Or maybe it was me.

Wendy- Hope you and your family are all cleaned up from the storms. And that there are no more for a long, long time.

Sending a big for everyone. I will try and come by later today if time permits. Got to get running here.

Ann

Ann,

Sorry to hear that your friend passed, it is always a little difficult even knowing that he is no longer in pain.

At this point in our lives I would rather look 8 months pregnant that be 8 months pregnant...

So very true!

That is awesome, hope you have a wonderful time. If you can let us know what you are doing, we all want in on the surprise!

Good Morning Js & Ks!

Elin. Feeling better today?

Ann, have a magical vacation. Hope to see you soon.

I guess I am feeling a little better. I HATE colds because they make it so difficult to teach and sing! But, this too shall pass... Sooner, rather than later, I hope!

How are you doing today, Kathy?
