They are trying to make the mess from yesterday a little more easier to take. Roads are a mess, not going to be able or want to go anywhere today.

The sun is out in full force, blue sky. Just spent an hour and a half doing mine and the neighbours driveway - problem is it usually takes half an hour at most!!! So my cardio workout for the day is done!!! Interesting to see what I feel like tomorrow....

I have a 3 year plan. I love Noah's elementary school because it's a school of the Arts. They start teaching the kids, right from the beginning about art, drama, writing, stage productions, etc. so that by 5th grade they can write, direct, stage, light, do the costumes and everything else required on their OWN! The 5th Grade Play is something I want him to complete.

So... Noah's got 3 more years in this school so he can get the full experience of the Arts. Then... on 5th Grade Graduation Day... Momma is going to be in the parking lot, with a U-Haul behind the Jeep with the stuff the MOVERS haven't already packed and we are moving to FLORIDA!!

That gives ME 3 mores years to save $$$, prepare for a job change and woooo hooooo - no more snow for me!

Financially I won't need the income that I'm making now (if I can't find it down there) and would love to give up the responsibilities of being a BOSS!!

Three years... it's gonna fly! Look, my ticker is only 1192 days away!!

That sounds like an AWESOME plan Kimmie -

Well, looks like FL is gaining some new residents!!!! I doubt I'll move to FL any time soon (unless Chris gets a job in Jacksonville). I live close enough to drive and the cost of living is sooooo much cheaper here. Although the discounts FL residents get on WDW and cruises would rock. Hmmmmm, something to think about.

 

[vital]

Oh yeah, looks like Ethan and I will be going in October!!!! He has his heart set on MNSSHP again. He absolutely LOVED it. I can see Christmas on a solo trip when he's older. Besides, I may be going on a cruise in early 2009 and will need the extra time to save up vacation days at work!!!!

When do MNSSHP tickets go on sale?

 

[nurse.darcy]

I can definitely say it does not take out any of the fun being that close!

Gotta agree with Sha, it does not take the fun or magic out of being so close. I lived 45 minutes from DLR for MOST of my life and NEVER lost touch with the fun or magic. . .

June or July maybe. Cant remember from last year

PW~ sorry i had to hang up on you... long time friend made a suprise visit that we lost contact with. And the house was a disaster of course with things I still need to go through from when I moved back! Nice to see them though.

It was May 1st last year! Halloween is out for us due to District wide testing that starts in 4th grade and includes the week leading up to Halloween! Grrrrrrr..... Do these people NOT understand my Mickey Schedule???

Hmmm well, YOU dont have to be there for testing on Friday... just cant be around Paula with Ethan around.

I thought that the plans were already under way to move into the dream home that you won!!

Does this mean that Noah will be an employee of WDW and therefore discounts available

Yeah, not holding my breath on the Dream Home... had to start a plan! Noah was SOOOO excited when I asked him. Of course, first question: "Momma, can we live in WDW?"... When I said No... second question: "Momma, can we live close so it only takes an hour two to get there? "Yes!!"

WOW!! Sounds like you have a goal to work towards! Fantastic!!!! I had thought about it and then realised it would take half the fun out of my visits to DW being that close so I am thinking Emerald Isle NC..it is warm and peaceful on the ocean front there or even Myrtle Beach area... I still have too many family obligations here to go anywhere for a while tho.

My company has an office in Tampa so I can continue to work for them or contract for them. Either way, it's important to be located near there. I have friends down there... no family, but I get the feeling I might see my family even more if I move to warm and sunny location?

Rock on Kimmie!

I am trying the 2 year plan for Kayla and I. But we'll see. All depends on how fast I can earn my degree

Wooo hooo... we have some planning to do!

Yay another person moving to FL - just to let you know that we have a middle school and high school of the arts around here - I am planning on sending my kids to these

Noah's elementary is the only one in our district and it took a "lotto" drawing to get him in... I am soooo happy with it. I have a friend that lives in Tampa and she has two boys... I'm talking to her about their schools and her recommendations. It will be the first year of middle school and he's going to be the "new kid"... but he's got such an outgoing personality, I think he's going to be fine!

That sounds like an AWESOME plan Kimmie -

I think so too!

Yes my dear... THINK about it... I'm going to use the next three years to save $$$ big time, by then my Jeep will be paid off and I don't have any balances on my credit cards so.... I'm hoping that the higher cost of living won't be a deterent, even if I take a pay cut to get out of managemen. It also means only week long trips (not 2 like our Christmas one) and taking day trips to the area we want to move... which I plan to do this December... I am sooo excited to have a plan!

Do you have state income tax?

 

[Kimmielee]

Do you have state income tax?

Yup - we do in Michigan...

 

[disneyfanx3]

what time do you get up there?

I probably won't get up their until about 8:00 - I really added the extra day because I like to wake up and have the full day the next day - I might try and leave a little earlier - it always seems when I am planning on going to Disney I start out with a short trip and I always add days or leave earlier than planned - I just can't wait to get there.

It probably won't be much if any higher than where you live. I don't think you can get any lower than MS. HAHAHAHA!!! I know I'd get paid more in FL to even it out. Ethan is always asking to either move to FL or Antigua. You know which one I'd prefer

 

[Sha]

Yup - we do in Michigan...

Money saved... we dont!!!

Good plan Kimmie...I working on my 4 year plan before retirement. FL is one area I'm looking at.

Depending on what time you arrive you can join Sha and I for miniature golf

Minor technical difficulty but does this mean that your DVC is already paid off OR was it an ooopsy, I forgot don't need it anymore because I'm living in Florida???

Came home yesterday to the Fire department at my neighbors house - an foot of water in my basement, not a good sign.

My cousin came over today and cut a trench in the cement to redirect the water to the pump - Yipee no more every hour on the hour bailing. The flip side - he hit below the water table - I am now bottling my own spring water

Question - has anyone ever done the Cirque to Solie (sp) show?
If so was it worth the price and which section to sit in?
