So happy to hear you, Howard and the dresses made it WDW. I am sure you had a wonderful Anniversary trip. I was thinking about you Friday night with the bad weather we were having. They closed our building at 2:30 and told everyone to go home.

I agree about the people at CA - they are just wonderful and helped us out so much. Funny thing about them - with all the recommendation from this board and Disney we decided to use them - not realized that Sheldon's dad lives right around the block from them. When we went there they knew him because he walks his dog up there all the time.

You guys must be getting so excited and what a wonderful idea to use the Owners Lockers and not have to worry about all you wedding items down in Florida.

Have "fun" at work and looking forward to reading more.

Meg -- You are such a darling and I am so happy that I finally got to meet you. We were at GF yesterday. I wish DJ had said "hi" -- then I'd know he didn't think we were complete nuts after our little get-together Saturday. Seriously, though, you two are so sweet and it was so kind of you to take time away from your honeymoon to meet up at Magic Kingdom. Hope to see you again soon!

What a great shot of the four of you.

I can't believe I forgot to tell you Happy Anniversary today!!!

Thank you, Patty! I was so excited to meet those guys that my smile was huge enough to show my molars!

CUTE pic! Looks like you girls had fun!!

Michelle - It was great meeting other DIS Brides. Just wait until you get to do the same in January! You'll have a blast!

Thank you for thinking of us, Linda. It really wasn't too bad at the airport since I had my kindle (e-book) and Howard. I just felt badly that he had to drive to OKW in the middle of the night because I knew he was exhausted. It was all worthwhile.

And I am convinced Owners' Locker is a fantastic resource for brides-to-be who can get to Orlando at least once before their wedding trip.

You are so sweet! Just remember that when you are trying to shoehorn me into my dress in 2.5 weeks!!

From the looks of you ... you will slide right in.. "Like Buttah"

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Aww..that is a great picture of you and Meg!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Thanks, Sabrina! I thought you'd like the pink.

you know it!

It sounds like you had a great trip. The owners lockers sounds like such a great resource to have at your disposal

I love the shot of the meet with the fellow DisBrides. I know I had a blast when I met a few during our wedding trip and am looking forward to meeting up with Toni during our anniversary trip.

I can't wait to read more and I can't believe you're so close

 

[deekaypee]

Happy (belated) anniversary to you and Howard!

I'm just catching up on all the goings-on here and just had to check in on your journal. My goodness, you've been busy--and had to overcome lots of stress (love computer issues). I'm so happy you got an opportunity to get away for your anniversary--you two celebrate your relationship every day, I know, but it's cool to be able to have a weekend trip, too.

And you look fabulous. Do you always glow like that?

The VR is getting so close, too. It's going to be lovely and magical. Thanks for taking us all on the journey with you...your journal consistently gives me the warm fuzzies! (Very toasty this time of year, too.)

Vanessa - I am a bit shocked to realize we leave for WDW 2 weeks from tomorrow. Once I get my 12 mile training run in on Friday, I will feel prepared for the 1/2 marathon, and that will be one last thing to stress about.

Happy (belated) anniversary to you and Howard!

Thank you so much for visiting, Debra! LOL! about the "glowing" -- It was so wonderful being away with Howard that I may in fact have been glowing. More likely, it was from the sun -- 80 degrees and sunny in MK on Saturday. It was gorgeous!!

I am really excited that Howard has now taken care of 2 more major tasks -- his contribution to the programs and naming our signature drink. Now, he just has to decide on a Mother/Son dance song.

With the placecards/seating arrangements done, I can now turn my attention to the programs (only the outside wasn't lost in the great Keener computer crash of 2008) and finish up the menus. Then, the only major projects left are the gift bag tags (with reservation/resort information) and the welcome letter. And Howard and I did a lot of scouting around at GF on Sunday to be able to put some detail into the welcome letter about transportation issues. So, it shouldn't be too hard. I may be able to cross a bunch more stuff off my to-do list by Friday night.

Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas, everyone! Thank you so much for enriching our lives this year with your love, support, friendship, encouragement and kindness.

Well, with my last long training run behind me (12 miles!), I can now feel as prepared as possible for the 1/2 marathon and can focus on the VR tasks yet to be completed.

I made a bunch of calls today:

confirmed all DVC reservations

set up Magical Express for our "adopted" daughter's flight home

confirmed pedicure appointment for Friday for my race partner/dear friend & I

confirmed 12 ADRs including our arrival night Chef Mickey's, our rehearsal dinner and all "honeymoon" meals. I was excited to change our Whispering Canyon ADR to one for Artist Point, since Howard and I have always wanted to eat there. Should be lots of fun!

I also finished formatting the menus last night, though I've yet to print them.

Tonight's plan is to work on the programs and the donation announcement.

 

[WithDisneySpirit]

Hey Cam! You are getting so close - I am so excited for you both!! Right now, I am just trying to tamp down the case of nerves I am having about the marathon! I do hope I don't get swept since I am not very fast...

 

[Valentine]

So.. I got a wonderful necklace for Christmas.. and the first thing I thought when I opened it was.. Wow.. this will be perfect to wear to Cam & Howard's VR! I am soooo excited!! I can't wait to see you all!! Whoo Hooooooo!!
