Thanks for the website link. I had checked it out before but lost the link. I've read about 30 of the millions of pages in the POR official thread in the resort boards. I'm really hoping my family likes it there. I pushed them to move up from the Values.

I paid off the loan on my car today!!!! It's a 2005 Kia sporage. Now I hope it will hold up for at least another 5-6 years. I'm putting new tires on it this week also.

We had a little drama Sunday morning. Doug had a seizure as he was walking into work. He felt it coming on and got down on the ground before it hit him. Of course, they had a ambulance come and get him. I had just gotten off work and been asleep for 15 minutes when I got the call. It was 7:30 AM when I got to the ER. We didn't get out until. 11:45 AM. He's had a couple of seizures before. That was 6 years ago and they happened when he was asleep. He didn't really know what had happened when he came out of them. This time he was awake and conscious of everything that was going on. It scared him.

They ran all the usual tests and scans. Nothing unusual showed up. His doctor started changing the anti-seizure meds about 3 weeks ago. Something about compatibility with the upcoming chemo. treatments. So evidently the levels of the meds are causing a little problem. Now he is on a 3rd med. I hope they can get him regulated before WDW.

Next week he should be getting that letter from Mickey!!! Just in time. Something to put a smile on his face. We should be getting stuff from WDW this week also.

I have reconfirmed my car rental and hotel stay at Cartersville.
We are fast approaching the 1 month mark, boys and girls. Hold on to your shorts. I think this month is gonna fly!!!

I think it's time for some SoCo. Catch you later!!!

Best wishes for your DH and you are so close to your trip!

Congrats!!! I remember when I paid off my first car: I took the final payment to the post office and watched the envelope VERY CAREFULLY as I dropped it in the slot. A man watching me said: "It's gone now". I wanted to say, "I KNOW!!!! THANK YOU JESUS"!!!!!! So congrats!!! What a weight off your shoulders!

We had a little drama Sunday morning. Doug had a seizure as he was walking into work. He felt it coming on and got down on the ground before it hit him.

I'm so glad that he's ok, and that he wasnt driving! I hope the new medicine will work!

 

[dogodisney]

Oh, how scary for DH. Thank God it happened now and not during your trip (and like Glenda said, as he was driving). He still has a month to get the meds regulated so hopefully(and I pray), they will work and you can have a carefree vacation.

The time is ticking away. It has gone by fast and I know August is going to fly by. I'm going to be really busy from now until our trip.

Only the best wishes for you and DH! I hope they can get things under control.

My daughter is diabetic and she had a seizure when her blood sugar dropped dangerously low. I told her that I never want to witness another one for as long as I live. Too scary...

Wow! You've got about 40 days left!!! I am sooooo jealous!

Hey, I've got to get my butt out there and start shopping, don't I? All I have put aside are glow in the dark, lime green braclets and necklaces. You know, the essentials!

It's good that you have your priorities straight! Don't forget your LGMHs.

 

[lazydoxy66]

Thanks guys!!!

GMax and Dogo, We are so close now. I hope I can get everything done before times up!!! I am so ready for the MAGIC!!

2BP you need to get a list made and check it off as you do or get things. Your trip will be here before you know it!!

I'm working on a few projects for WDW. As soon as I get them done, I will post pictures of them. 38 more days!!!!

 

[dogodisney]

I have been busy getting my trip folder together, making t-shirts, Passports for Epcot for kids and a memory book for DGD, as well as restaurant invitations and welcome letters. DGD is 5 so I am trying to make this trip really special and exciting. Not sure if it's more for the kids or me.
I've also been gathering things that I will need to pack. I have a corner in my dining room that is starting to get piled up. Good thing I have an eat-in kitchen and we don't use our DR regularly.

Only 35 more days for me. ( I added an extra night, so we will be going down on the 5th).

That is too funny about the dining room. My projects are scattered on the dining room table!!!! We have a kitchen bar that we eat at.
I just found out that my BFF is coming with her family to stay with us on the 9th. I'm going to try to get everything done and cleaned up before she gets here. Wish me luck!!

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey there! Just caught up on your report. It sounds like you have a great trip planned, I love reading about all the planning that a "newbie" goes into.

We have the same bag! Mine is red too.

So sorry about your DH but I am glad he does not need surgery after all.
