52 more days

[KatMark]

I was going to wait and post when we hit the 50 day mark, but my TA just informed me my paperwork is in the mail, which got me so excited about our upcoming trip. 52 days until our 25th wedding anniversary celebration with my best friend and her DH at our favorite resort, Coronado Springs, with it's lush landscaping, peaceful atmosphere, our favorite counter service--Pepper Market, and the quiet pools, hot tub and spa (and, of course, Francisco, at the Siesta Bar). Now we just have to hope that my dad stays stable and we get him transitioned to the Nursing Home without any complications. The last time he was able to speak, about three weeks ago, he told my husband and I that under no circumstances were we to cancel our trip. He said if we did he would never forgive me. He said your brothers and my grandson (my oldest...the youngest will be in Iowa at college) will come see me every day.

Thank you. So far so good. They are moving him out of CCU and to the cardiac floor tomorrow or Sunday. We are taking it one day at a time. He is a feisty 82-year old

Just a friendly hello from another 25th anniversary couple counting down for Sept also. Just want to tell you I hope your dad stays stable and I agree with what he told you, no matter what go! Sounds like a great Dad who wants you to be happy and enjoy your 25th with your friends. life's short enjoy while you can- I lost my dad 3 years ago 73 years old and I know he would have told me the same thing- He lived a very fulfilled life traveled alot with my mom and I know he would want me to do the same- So I wish you the best with your Dad , sounds like you have a very close and comforting family- Hang in there!

Its exciting when you finally get that paperwork we will be there a few weeks after you- would love to hear your trip report when you return.

Hope you have a great vacation -

Here's to 25 more years!!!!

I love the shirt!

You must have done alot of planning for this trip. I was looking to send something to our room to surprise our DD for our trip and I saw on another thred that you ordered a basket for your DH. I think you're gonna have a heck of a 25th anniv trip!

You must be soooo excited to go!!!

We can't wait. It's been a difficult six months with my dad in the hospital/nursing home/hospital and we really need this vacation to relax and have fun. Someone said to me, "how can you relax at Disney--it's a madhouse?" And my reply was simply: "It's Disney...nuff said!"

 

[Lilolvr]

Almost down to a month for me too!!
