Good morning! My brother's birthday is tomorrow too! He's getting married on Saturday so I have a big long list of things to accomplish this week.

I need a new strapless bra and I'm thinking of trying spanx. I have to get my family's hair all cut and mine dyed, finish making the favors......well and teach and such.

Good luck for the wedding - how exciting

How strange! My brother's birthday is on Wednesday!

A note about Spanx, they are wonderful but if you are on the edge between sizes go with the smaller size. If they are too big they don't work at all.

I have a funny wedding story (well not funny at the time). My dh's cousin was getting married and we were running late as usual. We'll we walk in late and as soon as we sit down dh's phone goes off. Soooo embarrassing right? What could be worse you ask? It was a Catholic church and his phone was playing the theme song to the Exorcist! NICE!

Have a great week!

That is terrific news! We fly in on July 29th and will leave on the 8th.

So...I tried the Spanx, hated them. I don't know I just felt squished. So - the boning in the dress is going to have to do!

Bennett's eyes are improving! The doctor said that the glasses are helping to force his eyes to focus close up and he doesn't need any other therapy at this point! So - between the ADD meds and the glasses I'm hopeful that school is going to start getting easier.

Now we are working on his temper. I'm afraid that DH and I don't always model good temper control ourselves so it is a family project!

Thanks, Helen, for the link. I need to get busy thinking about the excursions.

Monica -- I see you are doing Bernard's. How did you hear about him? We'll have 8 in our group, so I was thinking of hiring someone to take us around. Are you doing a private tour? Just wondering the cost...

 

[MrsJobba1]

Hi guys,

Just a quick message - wanted to introduce the newest member of our family - Gem.

We got her yesterday, she is Floss (one of othe other dogs half sister).

Gem is a very confident little lady who is keeping us very busy today.

 

[marcij]

Helen -- she is so cute!

And, Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry I missed posting on your day. I hope is it was a good one!

We booked this in August, but I'm just finding the forum now. We did a 4 day Wonder cruise in August of 2007 and are now going back for our first 7 night cruise. We are a family of 4 in one cabin, plus 3 grandparents and gramma's good friend in 2 other cabins. Yipee!

Hi to our thread

If you check back on page 1 you will see a list of who is cruising.

You will love the 7 night- I think it is more relaxed than the 3 / 4 night cruises ( I have been on 6 or 7 cruises of varying length)

Any questions or suggestion feel free to ask

again

welcome

 

[MrsJobba1]

Ok

I booked the 11 night med cruise in 2010 today - yes I'm addicted

At least I wont be too upset on the last day of our cruise

When I first found the thread, I just jumped in. I've now had the chance to go back and read it, but I'm not totally familiar with all the players.

If I've gotten this right, Monica - I'm totally jealous of your taking the cruise w/o kids. Please understand, I LOVE mine, but I'm also loving the idea of setting them in the Oceaneer Club and Lab and heading off for some quality snorkeling!

Stuff people might want to know. DD will be 8 nearly 9 (I think someone has a 7 yr old girl.) DS will be 5.

FWIW, I honeymooned in St. Maarten. The butterfly house was amazing - however, the butterfly house in St. Thomas is brand new, owned by the same organization and supposedly in walking distance of the port - so if anyone is interested in butterflies, I can give a qualified recommendation.

Also, as snorkeling goes, do people recommend the family beach or adult beach on CC?

Thanks again!
Joy

Guess what? I'm a teacher, also. I live a little bit north of Philadelphia in PA. However, unlike the other brave ladies here, I teach Latin to high school kids, mostly freshman. This is why I need Disney cruises!

Have a great day!

Hi Joy! Welcome! We love teachers around here!

Good for you! We won't be doing another one until 2011...

I appreciate the welcome. I think that my kids are a little younger than yours, but I think your younger and my older are close in age. We haven't told the kids, yet (Christmas surprise), but when I do, I know that it would please my daughter (8) immensely to know that I've been writing to another mom who will be on the cruise with her kids!

Have a good night!

I figured out that Helen is a member. May I ask what you (and others) like and don't like about DVC? I'm thinking of buying into BLT (don't know how I'll EVER convince DH that this is worth it.) I'm also thinking about waiting until the cruise to purchase. Any thoughts?
