Hey, thanks for all the replies folks. Great help!

Speaking of Maria, I saw this yesterday and thought of Mom and Daughter:

It is too bad that children can't stay small.

Scraped knees are much easier to fix than broken hearts.

So true. This time last year I was tending to a broken heart as my daughter's "boyfriend" broke up with her on her 15th birthday. Ugh.

This year was a much happier occasion for all as she turned 16: I only had to tend to a (possible) broken ankle.

We are going to hopefully book at 7 mos window this Sat for BWV(dont flame me yall) . . . . . . .

You know you will take an afternoon and touch base in the Carol Pacific Room, just to assure yourselves that it is still there and to do a reality check!

Making plans are the next best thing to being there . . . .

Oh yes, most assuredly, you know that to be true, Brother!

JT I thought I had more pictures of our view from our room at BWV but I don't. I also thought I took a picture of our room number but I didn't. I figured I would at least post these pictures for you for now and I will look through my stuff for the room number if you want it. I would have preferred a boardwalk view but I did really like the view we had. We saw some fireworks but I wouldn't let that be the reason for picking this view. Sorry the pictures are a bit dark.

Hi Neighbors!
Is it Dec. yet! Sorry I have not been around lately I have been swamped at work with new projects etc. Can’t complain I guess at least I am still working. Really looking forward to seeing everyone in Dec. and trying to see if I can do live podcast from the event via UStream but still working out the logistics but very hopeful that it can be pulled off. Ok just wanted to pop in and say hI oh well back to the mines. Hi ho hi ho it’s back to work I must go.
Joe

I would love it if you could do this! All of us "wish we could be there too-ers!"!

 

[jimmytammy]

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

Thanks JT.

Well, we have not let unemployment get us down. We canceled our cruise for Dec after VWL, but we just booked a great deal for the time period before VWL. Couldn't help it. Brand new ship, awesome cruise line, snagged a larger balcony for an 11 nighter!!! We gave up our Aqua Class (lots of perks), but were still able to get a wonderful cabin for less than the 7 night one on a ship that is a year newer. No brainer!

OK - 19 days out from the big event. You can hear the wedding bells already when you stand on our porch (or the foyer for that matter).

DiznyDi is very busy. Each day something else pops up to keep her on the edge. but really, I think she has done a great job in covering it all.

DD is busy nesting at FSL's home. We recently moved quite a bit of stuff over (2 hr trip) and she just has to have everthing in place, so spends her days there finding those places. I think the house raised up by 2" after the last load. DD joins FSL in his new full time pastorate when she can in ministering to the flock, but still has duties here at the home church. (They hate to see her go, but take of these things before you do).

FSL is now in the swing of his full time Pastorate and is VERY busy taking care of business, so to speak. I am always impressed with him as no matter what happens he always has a big smile on his face, and kind words to share.

The new community of Faith DD & FSL are serving gave them a shower last weekend. They obviously love these two very much. They were generous in both deed and prayers.

As for me, I peaked into the check book (located in DiznyDi's purse) and was happy to discover that there were only a few checks on the pad left. That was more than 12 hours ago, and 19 days is a long time. And she knows where the refills are kept.

How exciting!!

JT...good day to you as well and hoping you're able to secure a standard view at BWV for May ! I know they can be a little tough to get. I can't help u with the view requests. We only have stayed at BWV once (2004) and had a preferred view room with a standard room view imho. We were all the way at the end of the hall (as far from the elevator as one could get) and our view was of the valet parking lot primarily. If we stood out on our balcony and turned to the right we could see the TOT which was cool. But we had to be out on the balcony to see it.

Maria...wonderful to hear from you and sorry about the various trials and tribulations you are going through with your student. The good news is that your daughter seems willing to confide and share with you...don't take that for granted! Best wishes for continued improvement in her situation...it sounds like she is back on track to enjoying her college experience.

Thanks so much Granny
She is getting better every day. She emailed me last night, saying she had a dream and she felt like she was finally able to "move on" with her life. She has decided to pledge a sorority. She had originally missed the registration date to rush due to this breakup. But in keeping in contact with the girls at the sorority---they suprised her last Sunday when they handed her an envelope with a bid to pledge. She was so suprised they had made an exception to the rule and invited her to join. So, it FINALLY looks like things are looking up. Thanks.

It is too bad that children can't stay small.

Scraped knees are much easier to fix than broken hearts.

Love it Muushka....and having lived through both these, I can honestly say I agree. I'll take the days when they were little any day !

but we just booked a great deal for the time period before VWL. Couldn't help it. Brand new ship, awesome cruise line, snagged a larger balcony for an 11 nighter!!!

Awesome Muushka and very exciting !!!! can I come with you ?


Dizny Dad...thanks for keeping us updated with all the wedding plans. I love hearing all about it. Sounds like they had a really nice shower.

Happy to OFF from work today....this weekend was rough in the Delivery Room and kicked my butt !

Could you remove us from the March VWL trip and also the cruise in March. But add us back in for May 2-7 at BWV. We are hoping to add a few nights to Universal on the same trip but need to book it 1st.

Thank you!

I'm telling you Muush, you've gotta look into doing this professionally. There has got to be a market for people like me who can't spot a bargain unless it was a 2X4 upside the head.

DiznyDi is very busy. Each day something else pops up to keep her on the edge. but really, I think she has done a great job in covering it all.

Thanks for sharing the wedding plans Dad. It is absolutely wonderful reading them. Your DD & SL sound so happy.. Some how I'm thinking, I'm seeing the results of some pretty awesome parenting.

Your daughter's fiance sounds like a very nice guy, as does his future FIL.
Keep an eye on those checks!

Awesome Muushka and very exciting !!!! can I come with you ?

Of course!!!

Got it JT

You know, Mr Muush has must have said a thousand times that I should be doing exactly that!
If you ever get the old man to commit to the sea, let me know. I'll find you a deal!
