I'm still here! Congrats on the weight loss and going to the gym! I can see why you don't have time to DIS, when I go to the gym regularly I hardly have time for anything else.
I think that is what it is! I used to spend most of my mornings on the computer/disboards, now I'm up, take kids to school, go to gym for 90 mins then home...and by then, I'm tired and and have housework. It's a lot!
I have wanted to watch the show Once Upon a Time, but it's always on when I'm busy and then it's not on when I have time to watch it on Sunday nights. I will have to watch it/catch up online.
I LOVE IT! Def find the time!
That really stinks about the job. January isn't that far away, it would be really nice if they told you for sure!

Ugh, I know :/ I'm part freaking out, part relieved.. I just want to make sure I can make it to Disney next February lol!

Thanks so much for sticking around!

Hooray! So glad to see an update, looks like you guys are having a much better time this morning that you were on previous trip days. Love the pictures of Bob on the shark, and I totally agree---I LOVE Living with the Land, we do it every trip. Have you ever taken the Behind the Seeds tour? I'm sure it's something you'd like if the ride is your thing.
Yay, you're still here too!

Much better morning this morning!

Bob on the shark was a no-no..but it was funny, so I didn't say anything to them lol

Probably going to try the tour next trip, I think Jack will finally be able to tolerate it then.. I hope!

I feel you on the lifestyle changes, I've been eating right and working out since September and am down around 25 pounds in three months. It's hard, but I feel so much better when I'm in better shape, getting enough sleep and eating what's good for me. It's so hard around the holidays though! It's good to give yourself a few times a month to "cheat" though, so make sure you enjoy at least a little bit of holiday yumminess!

Ann

WOW! 25 lbs is quite the accomplishment! I do cheat! I mean I ate mostly what I wanted at Thanksgiving and a recent party we had, and I still lost weight! I was stoked! and I'm totally addicted to the gym!

Keep up the good work!

Jen, first, my lips are sealed on FB...and I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed on the job front.
Thanks Kat, I didn't mean to single you or any other FB friend out, I just know yall would wish well on there and I don't want her to even think I'm thinking about it!

Congratulations to you and Bob on the weight/inches! That is awesome. You guys rock.
Thanks mama bear <3

What a great update. You got a lot done in a short amount of time. I skipped Captain EO (wasn't a fan the first time around). How can you not love my purple dinosaur friend, Figment?
hahahah, I don't not love him, just not my favorite! Bob however adores Figment!
We saw Crush for the first time this year and it was AWESOME!

Isn't it the coolest thing ever??? Kids always have a blast with it!

That is great on yours and Bob Life Changes
Thanks Kelly I'm glad you're not sick of my FB updates about it LOL

that stinks about your job. It would be nice if she gave you some notice. Glad you have the dog walking at least just in case
YOu would think after 4 years I would get sat down.. I had him since he was 7 WEEKS old I'm feeling VERY blessed to have this dog gig fall on my lap like this!

Sounds like a great day. You all got a lot accomplished
so far so good

We still have yet to do Turtle Talk with crush. We really need to try that

OMGOSH!! Yo have to! So cute! It was one of Bob's favorite things!

Ah! I love this so far. I have not been on the DIS in a while because I was too depressed to look at anything since I didn't have a trip planned or know when I'd be able to take one next. But I am BACK, and am so glad to hear that you are doing well

Can't wait for the rest!

Oh hey you! How have you been? Thanks for joining in!

So you're back... does that mean a trip is planned? whats going on in your world?

 

[inkedupmomma]

Hey guys, I hope you don't mind, but I am going to take the next couple of posts to put up the photopass pics up until this point in the TR. The rest I will add into my updates... I just don't feel like going back to each post to post pics

Hope you like them!

OH God, I WISH!!! 2013 sadly! My kids cant miss anymore school this school year or 'll go to jail

Glad you enjoyed the pics

 

[KatMark]

Jen, I'm in love with the photopass pictures. They are all so good that I can't pick a favorite.

 

[Trentmom]

wow....so many good pics


love all the fairy borders. so cute

I think my favorite has to be the toy story one, where it says Toys at Play across it

Oh and I love the balloons one too

 

[AlohaPolynesian]

OMG I love the Photo Pass pics in front of the castle. And the one with Kayla and the balloons is tooooo cute!

And I do have a trip planned, sort of. LOL. We'll see what happens

 

[Disneybuckeye]

Great Photo Pass Pics! Glad the trip is still going well. I am not a fan of Captain EO, but as our college aged kids have never seen it we will probably make a stop in two weeks,

Good luck on the job situation and I know everything will work out somehow!

Thanks everyone!

and in case I sounded like a bummer outter about the job thing, I'm sorry. Im actually excited to move!

Everything else in my life has changed dramatically over the past 2 years, so this was like meant to happen as well. All those things have ended positively, so I think this will as well

I have been ready to move on for a while and fear has held me back, as it did with John. So, I am letting go of that fear..or at least ignoring it for a little while and hoping for the best!!

Gonna try to update tonight

 

[ronnmel]

Congrats on the weight loss! And good luck on the job front.

Great update.

 

[katt789]

Yay! I'm all caught up!! Looks like you guys have had an awesome couple of days, I love the Fantasmic! Pics you got, they're awesome!! I've wondered about doing the dinner package, but haven't been able to figure out if it would be worth it or not. I'm glad you had a good time at Akershus, it was the last meal on our last trip, and we didn't think it was too worth the price, but I'm sure it'd be better with kids!

 

[HilJoy14]

I followed your PTR but thought you'd post there when you started your trip report. Durrr - I just finally found your trip report last week when I was doing some DIS research. My bad! But I'm all caught up now!

Sounds like a fun trip so far! I appreciate the dinner receipt photos. We're wondering about trying the dining plan once and are curious about costs of that vs. tables in wonderland, so it helps with the research.

Looking forward to reading more!

 

[ronnmel]

Joyeux Noel to you and your family!!

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Hi

I am finally caught up...ah, the magic of being on vacation and being able to catch up on my subscribed threads.... woot!

I love your PP pics. They are sooooo awesome!

Can't wait to see you.....in three days. YAY

 

[Synndy]

Im all caught up too! I've been a bad Dis-er and havent been on in forever!

Loving the photopass pics!

It legitimately makes me excited for my future to someday get family pics like you have. *fingers crossed they come out as cute as yours did*

 

[starann]

Gosh, I totally thought I missed something major when I read "totally ready to move" (you meant move on, as in job, but I took it that you were moving locations).

Hope you ahd a nice Christmas and a Good New Year!

 

[ForAandA]

Just found your PTR and TR. Love them! Subbed here. Hope that you can write more, soon!

 

[oboedm]

Agreed! I just read through your PTR and what you have of your TR! In the words of Ariel, "I want more!"

 

[annnewjerz]

I check back every week or so with hopes of an update since I've always liked your TRs, but I'm thinking I may have to throw in the towel on this one!

I know just as much as anyone how much life gets in the way of such relatively unimportant stuff like signing onto the DIS (in fact I think I have 2-3 unfinished TRs myself), but if you decide to start writing again, PM me so I can hop back over to hear about the rest of the trip.

Hope all is well for you guys in the New Year!
Ann
