[jenjolt]

Congratulations to Prince P! You DO have a lot going on girl!!! I am sure it will all fall into place.

Love that pic of the four of you - perfect for your future Disney room! DHS at night is sooooo pretty, I just love all that neon.

BROOK!! Oh how I have missed you!! How are things going?????

DHS at Night and Empty is breathtaking!! LOVED IT!!!

I am here! I am caught up reading! I the gnome. That is so adorable!

Isn't the Magic Kingdom beautiful in fall? I so want to go back sometime. I loved it last year.

Wow, you closed DHS! The park is stunning at night. I have enjoyed the details in your report, especially at DHS. We tend to not spend much time there but are planning to spend the entire day on the 4th of July. There is so much more I want so see.

Can't wait for another update!

Erika

HI ERIKA!!!!!!! Nobby says thank you!! I adore him, he is so much fun although he has a knack for getting into trouble...bad Nobby!!!!

I hope you guys have a lot of fun there on the 4th!!!!! You guys are going to have an amazing time!

 

[jenjolt]

Well this is going to be an Off Topic Update post!!! I thought I would post a couple of pictures from last weekend's trip to the beach!! On the weekends Phillip goes down to the beach and plays roller hockey with some guys who meet up there! He has a blast and gets some good exercise, well since we had family in we decided to all go down and watch him and then go take a walk on the beach! It was a windy day so the surfers were out and so where these guys...

Had to make sure my mom and MIL didn't go touching them, that would have hurt!!

Some pictures of the water and beach area!

We had a very nice time! Phillip and his best friend got to play hockey, they did a great job and the rest of us had a nice walk on the beach!!

Now the rest of the weekend was spent getting ready for the reception following his ordination service! Where I was told we had the best cakes ever made!! I say I was told, because I'm back on my diet (It's been a tough 5 months LOL) and I refused to eat ANY!!! However here are some pictures

This was a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling!!! My teen girls told me it was AMAZING!! If anyone would know good chocolate cake it would be our teen girls!!

This one was a yellow cake with a strawberry filling! Phillip really liked this one the best!!!!

So there are the cakes! I'll just stare at them LOL!!

Lastly...as promised...the best gift EVER!! Leslie and I in January waited to exchange our Christmas gifts until we were together!! Well one of my gifts was so amazing, and yes it will be the highlight of my Disney room!!

That's right!!! HAUNTED MANSION PICTURES...AMAZING HAUNTED MANSION PICTURES...I may have squealed with delight when I saw this, but Leslie will neither deny nor confirm this

Upclose shots

I think this will go very nicely with the DoomBuggy I hope to acquire someday from MouseSurplus!!

Well that's it for my mini update! NHS induction is over and done with and now I'm in the final stages of my yard sale in hopes of making some good money and getting rid of some stuff!! So pray for good weather!!! Off to mow the front lawn before the wild creatures take over!!

More on the Fall trip in the next couple of days!!!!

Good thing you are not having a yard sale in TN. We have had rain, rain, and more rain lately. I hope you make megabucks on the treasures you are selling.

I look forward to hearing about a fall trip. We hope to be taking one ourselves in October.

Nice present from a good friend.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'll be honest...when I saw the pics all put together I didn't want to give them away but I knew how much you would love them.

You live in such a beautiful area, I'm jealous.

So didn't need to see the cake pictures after a day of only liquids.

 

[MEK]

Those cakes look amazing! So pretty.

I love the HM pictures. They are so awesome! I bet you did squeal! How could you not??????

I hope you make lots of $ at your yard sale. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Cool pictures (I mean both the HM and the beach)!!! Is that a jellyfish? Don't laugh at me, I live in MN. No beaches with that kind of critters here!

Those cakes do look good. I'm glad you and Phillip had a good weekend. I have not been very good on my diet today. Way too much sugar. Now I must get back on track.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh those beaches, I can just hear the sand singing under my feet as I walk along the water's edge....
I can't believe that you didn't even sneak a taste of that cake, what will power you possess!

What a perfect gift from Leslie! Love it!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Those HM pics are amazing. What an awsome present! Squealing is definitely allowed over that.

Jen:

Wow, those cakes are awesome! I love the look of the icing and they sound delicious. Congrats to DH! That is quite an accomplishment to be ordained.

Congrats on not eating any cake! That is will power. Keep it up!

I the frame Leslie gave you. It was beautiful and would look great in a Disney room! That was so thoughtful of her.

Awww, the pictures of the beach! I am sooooo envious. It has rained here most of the week and it is doing so again today. Oh well, I will be at my happy place 6 weeks from today!

Look forward to hearing more about your trip and plans for this fall.

So far no rain in the forecast!! I have signs up broadcasting the sale for tomorrow! Need to talk to the neighbors about parking my car on the street in front of their house!! I'M READY TO MAKE SOME MONEY!!

Does your trip happen to be anywhere near my trip?? I would so love to finally meet up with you at Disney!!!!!! OH YES I WOULD!!!

Yes it was a great present from a greater friend!

I'll be honest...when I saw the pics all put together I didn't want to give them away but I knew how much you would love them.

NO! You cannot have my pictures, they are MINE!!! One of the best gifts EVER!!!!!

The beach is gorgeous, I will miss not having it right down the road, but I'm excited about hill country and even more excited about no hurricanes!!!!

Sorry...we can suffer together looking at the cake LOL!

Those cakes look amazing! So pretty.

I love the HM pictures. They are so awesome! I bet you did squeal! How could you not??????

I hope you make lots of $ at your yard sale. Keeping my fingers crossed.

They looked amazing! Everyone said they were really really good!!!!

It was an amazing gift and I can't wait to hang it up in my house in Austin!!!!

Thanks!! No rain and I have advertised...now just need the people to come!!!

Yes that is a Jellyfish, and that one packed a pretty mean punch, so no saving them that day...they are no touchy touchy!!!

I was very proud of myself for not eating any cake and actually I have lost 3 lbs this week. Now if I could only get myself to workout on weekends, such a tough task LOL!

Oh those beaches, I can just hear the sand singing under my feet as I walk along the water's edge....
I can't believe that you didn't even sneak a taste of that cake, what will power you possess!

What a perfect gift from Leslie! Love it!

I'm not sure about the willpower thing, but I kept busy and made sure to pass out a lot of it so there was none to bring home!!!!

Yes it was a perfect gift and I adore it!!!

Those HM pics are amazing. What an awsome present! Squealing is definitely allowed over that.

It was a very awesome pressie! Leslie knows me very well!!!!! I admit it, I squealed!

Thank you, I'm quite proud of my DH!!!

It was a great gift and I really like that frame also!! I have another one of Disney pictures I keep at work and some of my favorite of me and Leslie are in it!! Helps get through the rough days!!!

Yes you will...and hopefully you will have sunny skies the whole time!!!!!!

 

[Circusgirl]

Congratulations to Phillip on his Pastor-dom! What a great celebration for both of you. Awesome willpower on the cakes!

How fun to re-live our Brown Derby dinner and empty park exit. The pictures are wonderful. I'm so glad I decided to see if I could find you! It was the last night of my trip and a super fun way to bring my trip to a close. I loved our transport to the parking lot. I forgot that we had trouble seeing which car was yours in the nearly empty parking lot.

The Haunted Mansion pictures are fantastic - good eye Leslie! Not to mention being a really good friend and being able to give the finished product away.

 

[MeMom]

I'M READY TO MAKE SOME MONEY!!

Does your trip happen to be anywhere near my trip?? I would so love to finally meet up with you at Disney!!!!!! OH YES I WOULD!!!

I hope you make a bunch o' money!

We're getting the October trip in order now. Jill wants to go down on the Friday evening (15th) flight.

There will be two options for coming back.

Plan A - if Jill can only get off Monday, she and Bella will fly back Monday night, and Brooklynn and I will stay and have some more time with our cousins and come back Wednesday night.

Plan B - if Jill can get off Monday and Tuesday, we'll just all come back Tuesday night.

I at least want to stay S-S-M-T, so if Jill can't, then Brook and I will just go ahead and add a couple of days on and come back Wednesday. Our cousins aren't getting there until Sunday night. I don't think any of us are doing MNSSHP this year, just because of finances.

I don't know if any of that overlaps with you. After that trip, Jill's family may possibly go back at Thanksgiving with some friends, but I think that's going to be all for me until March/Spring Break. That's why I want to stay as long as possible in October.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Beautiful beach pictures! Can't wait to head to one in a little under two months.

Those cakes do look amazing -- I would have gladly eaten your piece for you.

Love the Haunted Mansion pictures -- they are fantastic!
