Guess what! Guess what! Guess what!

We're going to DISNEY ON ICE for my birthday!!!

I am SOOOO excited!! We're going to visit my in-laws and go with them. We'll leave here on my bday (Thurs the 9th) when I get off work, and we'll drive to Dallas to stay the night. I get a "birthday vacation day" at work, so I'll take that on Friday. We'll get up pretty early on Friday and drive to San Antonio and get there by late afternoon. We'll hang out with his family, go to DOI, and leave Saturday morning. It'll be a short trip, but it'll be really good. We weren't going to get to go to SA until Christmas, so this will be a nice little surprise. AND we're going to get some Disney magic! I haven't been to DOI since Toy Story came out...

YAAAAYYYYY!!!!

Awww I'm so excited for you! Are you seeing Worlds of Fantasy? DOI is so much fun. What a perfect birthday evening!

See if you can grab any pictures of San Antonio for me! I'm so curious as to what it'll be like.

What a great update!!!

Thanks! I'm really excited! It's actually Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey. It'll show The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Peter Pan, and Lilo & Stitch. I can't wait!

If we go to the Riverwalk or anything, I'll take pics for you. It's beautiful! I LOVE San Antonio! It'll be really hot for you, since you're used to Canada, but hopefully you can still enjoy it.

Thanks Jess! I'm REALLY excited! I bet Finding Nemo was amazing--all of the colorful fish and everything. I'll post lots of pics

I'm glad you enjoyed Teppan Edo! We'll be trying it for the first time this year. We LOVE the hibachi grills here, so I hope it's just as great! What did you get to eat?

YAY for DOI!!

You should pit-stop in Dallas...

It is SOOO good! I think I had the chicken and shrimp. I'm not 100% sure though. It was back when it appetizers were still included in the DDP, and I got edamame for the first time--now I'm hooked and buy it all the time! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was dessert, since I'm not a ginger fan...but seriously...I probably didn't need another dessert since I was having 2 a day on the DDP! I'm sure you'll love it!

Actually, we are stopping in Dallas! And we're coming to Dallas on the 7th. Michael has to go to court for a ticket (long story...they tried to make him change his license when he was a student) and I have to take care of some stuff at DBU. And then we're coming down on the 9th to spend the night before we go to SA. I'll let you know what our schedule is, and you let me know what yours is and maybe we could meet up!

 

[Roxychica7]

Man, I almost forgot that we ate at Teppan Edo too! My mom and I tried it back in 2000 (not sure if the name was still the same back then), but they didn't do the dining plan thing either. Can't go wrong with the shrimp and chicken! It was the first time I ever tried sushi! I remember it being really good, although, it was my 1st eating at a hibachi, since they were "new" back then too. I don't like ginger either

Aren't hibachi grills just so great?! Teppan Edo was my first too! I LOVED it. I still don't like sushi, but everything else was yummy!!!

PM me when you figure out your detailed plans.

Will do.

Yay!!! I'm so excited! Well...it's going to have to be the 7th bc we're not stopping on the 9th anymore--we're driving straight through to San Antonio. But let me know your plans for the 7th!!! We'll be busy in the morning/early afternoon, but should be free after that. Also, let me know what area would be best for you. We'll be all over (from Euless to south Dallas to Lewisville)

My mom, sister and I went shopping last night for a birthday present/Easter dress for me! I found two that I LOVED and my mom bought them both for me for my bday!! I'll try to take pictures of everything. Oh--and she bought Michael a shirt that coordinates (not totally matching, but it has a stripe that's my dress's color) with my dress to wear for Easter. I'm excited--my first Easter as a married couple! I'll FOR SURE post pics of us next weekend.

Oh--and I think I might want to start doing Disney nights once a month before we go in September. I was reading someone's PTR (I don't remember who's...sorry!) and she said they did Disney nights as a family. One time they ordered pizza, watched Toy Story, and then did some cute Toy Story kind of activity. I think it'd be a lot of fun, and it'd give me something else to plan!! WooHoo! So if any of you have any ideas...just let me know! I'll let you know when I decide to have our first. And OF COURSE there'll be pictures

I just found your PTR and wanted to say Hi

We will be staying at AK in September as well (only we'll be there at the beginning of the month). All your plans look great so far! And I loved reading about your previous trip.

Can't wait to read more updates!!

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Please post pics of your dresses!! You sound like me..this is our first ___ as a married couple! I think it's a girl thing. Haha.

I'm so looking forward to Tuesday!!! I'm going to brainstorm places and send you both a PM later today.

 

[jewels1916]

I love the Disney Movie theme night idea! Hm....you could do Lady and the Tramp and have spaghetti and meatballs!
Hm...what else.....Finding Nemo/Scavenger Hunt.
I think it's too late for me to really think of anything, but I think it's way cute!

 

[pinkpixie0920]

Oh my gosh I love the Disney movie night theme! That is such a creative idea.

Isn't it a great idea? I wish it were mine... I'll just have to be content with stealing it! Ooohhh--Lady and the Tramp night sounds amazing! We LOVE Italian food... And I never would have thought about a scavenger hunt on Finding Nemo night! Keep em comin--you have great ideas!

Oh my gosh I love the Disney movie night theme! That is such a creative idea.

I "borrowed" the idea You should too!! I'm really excited about it. This other lady that I got it from did it with her kids and husband. I was going to wait til we have kids...but I think we'll have to break some out now!

We just got back from Dallas night-before-last. We had a ton of fun!

Michael had to go to court to try to fight a ticket (they fined him for not changing his license when he went to school—he didn’t know he had to go to court last spring…they racked the bill up to $960 then told him he’d be arrested if he didn’t pay…so we paid and then he went to fight it) So we went to court and got $450 back!! It should have been all of it (or at least all but the $250 for failing to appear in court—even though he didn’t know he was supposed to go to court. But the judge thought she was Judge Judy. I don’t think anyone told her that she’s not. One guy got cuffed and taken out while we were there. And one girl had about 7 tickets form over the past couple of years. And she yelled at another guy for not understanding what she was saying. So overall, it was a very entertaining morning.

Then we went to DBU to turn in my application for graduation!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!! I’m FINISHED in August! They’d finished the new bookstore and worked a ton on the new chapel since I’d been there last time. Here’s two pics of the new buildings.

I wish you could see how big the chapel is…maybe I’ll go through my pics again and find a different one…


Then we met up with a friend for lunch, visited a church to get ideas for our new youth/children’s building (they started on the dirt work yesterday!!), and ordered our new iMac!!! YAY it should be here tomorrow!

After that, we met up with Heather (HeatherBelle614) and her DH Brad. We ate at Snuffer’s—oh my gosh—those cheese fries were amazing. We had a ton of fun (but we missed you, Courtney!). We’re already planning our next DISmeet!

We got home really late (well, late for me—I like to go to sleep before 10:30 and we didn’t get home til almost 11).


Last night, I was supposed to be doing homework bc I have a TON to do this week, but I couldn’t start homework without being a trusty DISer and taking pictures of my new dresses! I went ahead and took pictures of my last shopping trip stuff too (or what was clean of it!)

This is my Easter dress this year—I didn’t want something too dressy…

Close-up of the top detail

Easter sandals

Easter earrings (gold ones) and some my cousin sent me yesterday

New Mini Hipster (sorry I didn’t post sooner). I love it. I’ve been using it quite a bit.

New shirts from a few weeks ago:

This back is my favorite—I’m actually wearing this shirt today!

That about does it for new clothes! I love spring.

We’re heading to San Antonio tonight! And then we’re going to DOI tomorrow night!!! YAY! I can’t wait. Michael’s parents are joining us. So exciting!

I’ll be sure and post lost of pics!
