Thank you every one! Even more exciting news is matt and Loreal plan to move here after the baby is born. I'm not sure how long after, but it will be nice to have some of my family close by. I love Kents family, but to have my brother here would help so much when I get to feeling homesick for my family.
I am so happy for your brother, sister-in-law and all of you!!! That is so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only do you get a new member to your family, but family moving near to you. You are totally blessed, girl! It's like you got some early pixie dust or something.
Now lets talk Disney. I have lost 30 punds since June, it has come off so slow that I couldn't really see it, but I have been getting positive comments from friends and family, so yesterday I went and tried on clothes that haven't fit in a couple of years and YAY! they fit now, so it's kind of like getting a new wardrobe and just in the nick of time for disney. Bad news is, my bathing suit and the Disney shirts I bought are too big now, I am going to try and take in the shirts.
Did you know you can lose weight in your feet too?
Congratulations!!! It's great knowing that there is someone else out there going through all of this, too. I officially lost 22-24 pounds as of this morning. Isn't it exciting? I know what you mean about not noticing as much till you get all the comments. I'm having trouble with clothes I thought I'd be bringing on our trip, now being too big to wear. But, that's a good thing to have to deal with, right? About the feet, I thought it was so weird when some of my shoes began feeling too big. I honestly never realized that could happen!

Ah, shoe shopping. I guess we'll just have to suck it up and get new ones, huh?
I have started packing some things, some shorts and capris, hopefully this heat spell will be over soon and I won't have to go and dig out the summer clothes I have packed already.
As the time gets nearer I am able to focus better on what needs to be done. And now that Red Lion Homecoming week is over I can chilax some. I think I held my breath the whole time. Next is Cougar homecoming, it's not as stressful, there is no parade, powder puff games or Bon fires. Reese graduates out of the rec program this year, tonight she will compete for Cheerleader of the year, and then we will find out if she won this Sunday at the game. There are some great cheerleaders on that squad, people are saying it's going to come down to Reese and another girl. They are both so deserving of it. (wow! way off topic) but to sum it up, Reese is going to the Raptors all star cheer squad this November, that's a whole new level of cheering, but she is so excited.
Make sure you don't leave us hanging about how Reese does.

I'm cheering her on from NJ!
Ok back to disney. I am going with Theresa this Friday to AAA just to tie up some lose ends. We are 56 days away from our trip and everyone is excited now, not just me. Reese said she wants it to be the best vacation of her life, of course I would like the same. I get all twiterpated when I think about going to Disney, and then again when I realize it's going to be all decked out for Christmas. I try and imagine what it will be like, I don't think my imagination even comes close.
I am bringing my video camera this time. Coley and I have it worked out that when I am taping she will be taking pictures and then we will just make copies and switch. I will be taking pictures too of course, but this way I am covered in all ways. I can't believe I didn't bring my video camera last time. I am so glad I get a second chance to do this right. And then with my parents coming for Christmas, they will get to watch all 400 hours of video.
and I will get to relive my vacation over and over, backwards and forwards and even in slow motion if I want.
I have purchased 2 12by12 albums for my trip this year, I got them at Michaels, they are strap hinge and have a frame on the cover. So I got one in Red and one in black. then I have the Disney 7by7 album for autographs. I was going to predecorate it and take it with me, but then I rethought that idea and I am just going to bring cardstock for the characters to sign and then put it in the album when I get home. I just don't want to lug it around the parks.
Work calls so I have to go. Talk at you all later!
I understand how Reese feels about wanting to make this the best vacation ever. That's what my DH and I keep saying about this upcoming trip. It is exciting about the castle with the new little white lights. It's going to look so magical! I can't wait to compare pics of it when we return from our trips.
ILMICKEY Me? spoil the baby? well of course I'm going to spoil that baby!!!!
No special diet for my weight loss, I just eliminated soda and try not to eat past 7:00pm.
They do make a pill for Disney restless body syndrome, it's called valium. It numbs the mind as well, so I choose not to take it and just suffer the painful stabs of waiting for the most anticipated trip of my life (so far, cause there will be more) try screaming into a pillow, it helps release some of the penned up excitement energy. Also standing in the front yard and yelling as loud as you can I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD! offers some relief, you'll get more relief if you do that some place crowded, like the mall, but the best relief is shouting it in a library while doing a little dance, it releases all the disney endorphins, you feel relaxed and could sleep like a baby once you have escaped security. Let me know what method you choose and how it all works out.
Oh, you better spoil that baby! At least on your trip, you have an excuse to buy cute Disney baby items.
Shouting, "I'm going to Disney World!" really does work. It also works to wear Disney items as often as possible. I have begun wearing Mickey earrings that I love quite often lately. Now that it's getting a bit cooler, my DH and I have gotten out the Disney sweatshirts to wear and telling each other, "This is what it's going to be like in Disney!"
