I hope you all have a wonderful trip and I look forward to chatting with everyone and getting to know the 2014 Dis Divas![]()
Sounds good! We look forward to getting to know you as well. It's really a great group of gals.
Oh, and keep an eye out for pics when we get back.


I haven't been on the DIS boards or FB much because there has been a lot going on. Unfortunately about three weeks ago my dear friend contracted viral encephalitis. She is a doctor and usually very healthy. It was very scary how suddenly it came on . She's been in the hospital since. She has given so much to healing people and helping her community. It is very upsetting to see her in this situation. Everyone has been rallying around her (all of our friends, her family etc), but it was a real wake up call for me that you really just have to enjoy every moment. I almost considered opting out of the trip and staying home, but I know my friend would want me to go on the trip and have a fun time. Thankfully with technology, I can keep in touch with her while I'm on the trip. Fortunately, she is getting better. She is through the worst part. It is just going to take a lot of time and pixie dust because this is such a devastating disease.
How scary for your friend. I don't know much about that disease, and I'm almost scared to look it up! Is it contagious? 


Anyway, I didn't want anyone to worry about us showing up sick as we weren't exposed. I am looking forward to the trip and getting to meet everyone. Packing about half done now.
