Wow ... great to see everyone still posting to this thread!!
Curt - so sorry to hear about your BIL. Our thoughts are with you, Steph and the rest of your family. So young - it's just so sad.
Kim - I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It is a difficult time for you and your family and we are thinking of you. YOUR child is out there somewhere - waiting to be born (by you) or waiting for you to find him or her. I thought that was corny when I was adopting, but Matt is MY child and every day I thank God that every step I took, every turn, every delay, every decision ... just everything led me to MY baby.

It is amazing.
Tracy - WOW. That's fantasic about your daughter. Definitely gets it from you!!! And just so glad to hear you mention her doing so well while still being out of school. We do need lots of different life experiences to grow - especially Disney experiences (LOL).
Gailyn - thanks for asking - my first trip to Chicago was great - got to see people I hadn't seen in about 6 months. I work long distance with a lot of people in Chicago. But I'm getting up at 3:00am tomorrow moring for the 3rd week in a row. It's getting VERY old. But I go Monday morning and come back Tuesday night so it's a short one.
Gailyn - are you still shooting for the December 3, 2005 trip?
I haven't thought about 2006 yet. Booking a year in advance is amazing for my family!!! Two years and they would lock me up. We'll probably rebook for about the same time in 2006 when we go in Nov/Dec 2005. It's not hurricane season and the prices are good. Also - I love the Christmas decorations every where!!!
I'm sure all of us are waiting for winter to end. I've had more than enough snow and cold - although Matt has been sledding quite a bit and he LOVES it.
