[dsparks]

Hello!

Don't know if I'll miss you Kathy. I hope it's cooled down for your visit to mom's house. Sorry to hear about Greg's aunt passing.

Greg, I don't want to miss you too. You Campbell's have a great time!

We had a GREAT phone call this morning. Our friends that moved to Ohio came up to Michigan today. They've been here all afternoon! Nathan, Skylar's age, is staying until tomorrow afternoon. It was great spending time with good friends!

Stephanie is having a garage sale tomorrow again. Trying to get rid of the baby clothes that we still have in abundance!

Thanks for the compliments on Elizabeth!

Hi Dawn,

Are we going to just miss each other in Orlando? We're going to fly out at 10:40am on the 19th instead of the 21st since we won't be seeing a shuttle launch.

Howdy Kathy & Denise!

Kathy, sorry to hear about Greg's aunt. I hope you have a nice visit with your mom this weekend.

How long with you guys be in Oregon? I thought you'd be headed for Florida by now? Is Greg's job in Oregon still going?

Denise, where ya gonna move to if your house sells?....Colorado?

I'll check in while we're in Jamaica. Both our resorts have broadband internet.

Afternoon all:

Greg: I have actually thought of moving to Colorado.....my daughter and I have discussed buying a house together. But, since she is military....and most likely be getting deployed at the end of the year.....I think at this point, I am going to stay put....Plus my dad is getting up in years and I dont want to move out of state at this time. But there is always a chance sometime down the road that I may move out of state.

Glad its friday, however, I do have to work a few hours tomorrow but probably going to the show tomorrow nite and going to see public enemy. I heard it was very good.
One of the nurses I work with, her daughter met Johnny Depp while he was here in chicago filming the movie....she said he is very nice and personable.

Well gotta get back to work....

have a good one all

Greg if I dont get on much this weekend, you guys have a great trip and enjoy......plus I really need you to think about adopting me!! So you have a few weeks to think about this...

I said I would adopt you, but I won't treat you any differently then I do my own kids.....they all have to pay their own way on vacation!

Ok.....Ill pay exactly what your kids pay!!!! I think thats fair!!!!

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Kathy, sorry to hear about Greg's aunt. Let him know we are thinking about him.

Dawn, Elizabeth sure is cute!!!

Greg, have a great trip. Hope you get some internet access so you can post some pics!!!!! Do you have any scuba diving trips lined up this time?

Well, it looks like we will be going to the American Idol concert tomorrow night. Staci's family is all going to be here for the week and they were going to go for her moms birthday. Her brother is driving in from Michigan, but now he will not be getting here until Sunday night. So I guess I will go in his place. The concert is at the Time Warner Arena in Charlotte, so I rented a room at the Holiday Inn right behind the arena. That way we can park in the hotel parking deck and walk over to the arena. That will sure beat driving in all the traffic and having to park in a lot and walk to the concert. Plus, we can go early and it will be better with all the kids having a place to hang out before and after the show.

Boy, if Kathy were here I would point out how the guys keep getting the ......

But, since she is gone for the weekend, I will not rub it in!!!!!

It might be wise to talk to my kids before you agree to that?!

I'll be sure and post some pictures here on the DIS. I posted our Aruba pics from last month on Facebook.

Yeah, we're going to be doing a lot of scuba diving this trip if the weather and seas permit. My oldest son Chayce wants to learn, so he'll be going with my wife and I after he finishes the course at the resort.

We all watched a show on the travel channel last night about Jamaica, so now all the kids are super excited about going!

 

[dsparks]

Good Morning!

I was sooo tired last night I was asleep before 9:30! That's not so bad because I got up earlier and I get the computer for a while!

Hi Brantley! Sounds like you will have a good time. How was the American Idol concert? Haven't heard much about the Idol's since the show has been over.

Greg, We'll be in Orlando the morning of the 18th so I PLAN to get with you guys that day! We are not going in the park. Have your cell phone on and I'll call you when we roll in--usually around 10 - 11 a.m. You know we have a 2 year old with us this time--so all timing will be off.

Hi Denise.
Hi Kathy
Hi Christine. Only two weeks until we leave for WDW!

Kathy was "moonlighting" on this years Nanahead cruise thread, so she was here!!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Morning all,

Greg & Dawn,
have a great meet
Brantley, hope you had a great time at the concert.



Quiet weekend here, we have a nice cool morning before we warm up.

Have a great sunday all.

Kathy

Hey Guys,

The concert was actually a lot of fun. It was a good show and it was pretty nice to see them sing in person and not on tv. You could really get an idea of how good they are at being on stage.

All of them really were talented. Of course, since they were in North Carolina Anoop got a lot of support from the crowd. Allison and Adam really had the best stage presence, but they all were good.

We went down early and had a room about a half of a block from the arena and there were a lot of fans there. The Chris vs. Adam fan clubs were in full swing!!!!

 

[dsparks]

Hey Guys,

The Chris vs. Adam fan clubs were in full swing!!!!

And which side were you on??

 

[theostwalts]

And which side were you on??

Staci and the girls love Adam, so I keep giving them a hard time about Chris winning.

I was actually pulling for Allison. It is amazing that a 16 or 17 year old can hang in that long. To tell you the truth, Allison and Adam were the best live out of all of them.

We were all pulling for Adam too. Do you wonder what the number of calls would have been if AT&T hadn't given out the cell phones to Chris fans?

Hi Denise.
Hi Kathy
Hi Christine. Only two weeks until we leave for WDW!

Woo hoo, have fun. Where are you guys staying? Do you have any ADRs?

 

[dsparks]

Woo hoo, have fun. Where are you guys staying? Do you have any ADRs?

We are staying at the Music for 15 days!!!! We have free dining for 14 days! And we did the quick service for the first day (annual pass rate room). The cup costs $14.00 and the quick service was only $30. So we figured $16 for 2 counter service meals and 2 snacks. Yup, we have all our ADRs. New ones that we have never done is the Luau and Mickey's Backyard BBQ, Yak & Yeti, 1900 Park Fare for both breakfast and dinner, Donald's Breakfast, and Play-n-Dine. We are eating at Teppan Edo 3 times ! CRT for dinner, Chef Mickey's. Christian and I also want to eat again at T-Rex. Stephanie and Elizabeth will also eat at the Norway Akershus, CRT for breakfast, O'Hana, Narcossee's, and LeCellier. Stephanie has an annual pass this year so she'll go in all 15 days. Christian and I will only have the 10 day pass with the water & more added on. We'll have 10 visits to the water parks and Disney Quest. I think that should fill up our days! I'm glad the ticket prices only went up $10 a ticket for us.

Afternoon all:

Ummmm Dawn, I think you need to adopt me also!!!! I keep asking Greg, however, he keeps giving me a hard time not sure why....but I am having such a bad work day today.....that I really need to go to my happy place!!!

Usually we have 2 people start at the same time everyday....so today was here by myself for the first 1/2 hour....phones ringing off the hook, people checking in for their appointments....then I go and try to get into a section of my computer, where I spend most of my day....working from and now its telling me that my "user cannot be found" called over to the "help desk" their solution, turn off the computer and reboot....ok did that 2 times and still the same thing....now their solution wait 24 hours and hopefully it will be back working!!!!!!!!!Hello I have a desk full of work that needs to be entered.....I cant belive their answer....so after lunch I'm calling back and going to get something done...because that is just unacceptable....

Well I hope everyone else is having a better day......

later all
