Sorry, it is big. I copied it from facebook.

Here is the most recent picture of DH and I, with the rest of the family. I am in the red sweater (Ellen) and DH (Greg) is the Grumpy guy next to me.

This is from April 2009. Lauren, the older girl, will be with me.

The only quick one I have is my profile pic. Grainy--but you can see it a little better!

I'm using this pic, since most of my fat is hidden behind a dwarf!

Jessica, I was going to ask the exact same thing! Here's a picture of my family. My darling Disney-hating husband won't be there, though.

Debbie, there's a great picture of you with your husband at your class reunion on facebook. You should post that one! You look so pretty and you can see your face!

I think this is the one you're talking about. All you really need to know to spot me is my red hair & if DH is with me he's 6'6" so those two things make us stand out

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it after all. $$$ has just gotten really tight until mid Feb b/c of how my paychecks are running. I was so looking forward to meeting everybody!

Oh no, are you sure? I hope everything is alright.

I need to take a recent pic as I cut my hair a few weeks ago! I will try and get one tomorrow when Sara Beth is doing her modeling of the new outfits I made!

 

[DisneyKings]

Oh no, are you sure? I hope everything is alright.

I'm still trying to see if we can work out a long weekend, I mean we have free housing & already have passes... I don't think my in-laws would think very highly of me though if I took the cheapest route & had them drop me off at my brothers on their way home (without the kids) & then flew back Mon for just $48. My DH now just looks at me like I'm crazy! Maybe I shouldn't have told him we have no money!

 

[jessica52877]

I hope you can work it out but I understand the no $ thing. Sadly, I have moved vacations way up on my list of what I will do now! DH just tells me all the time do do what I want, he just doesn't pay the bills (minus going to work of course ).

Keep us updated!

 

[Piper]

I hope you can work things out, but if not we understand. Sometimes life gets in the way of fun!!

I am beginning to get things together for the trip! It is easier this time, because I just put some of the "essentials" in a pile next to my suitcase when I unpacked from December! I'm also bringing long underwear--this was a lifesaver in Dec.....it was soooo cold. The wind was very chilling! I am packing them hoping I won't need them this time!!

I just put my meds in the little travel containers. I don't like to do it because it reminds me how many I take now--11 different prescriptions--8 pills in the morning and 8 pills in the evening--with a couple thrown in mid-day "if needed." Some once a day, some more.....thank goodness they invented weekly pill containers. It makes it much easier.

I am bringing 100 glow bracelets and some other "little surprises" for the kiddos. I know last time, they really enjoyed playing with each other. I was going to comment on how the kids seemed like they had known each other forever, but then so did the adults!!

Anyway, last time, we sent each other our cell numbers by pm--I am going to do that--so you'll be getting a pm from me!

Also, my schedule is pretty flexible except for 2 days--Fri 1/28--AK & Mon 1/31--MK I won't be going to the park on 2/1 because I leave that day. So I can try to see the parades and Wishes at MK (because I can sleep in the next morning!) I don't have park hoppers this time. I plan on early to the parks, rest, then back in the evening.

 

[Piper]

Jeanne--your PMs are full--couldn't send you one!

 

[jessica52877]

Thanks Piper! I was thinking we needed to compile a list of #'s. If everyone wants to PM me their cell # I can put it together and pm everyone else if all are okay with that, also let you know if texting is okay. I have found at Disney it is easier to text most of the time. Of course, last time we were trying to call, was after the parade following it up Main St and before the fireworks! So hard to hear!

Do you check through your bags Piper? I was going to bring glow sticks, but want to carry on and thought they wouldn't make it through security, but I see you have that handled for us! Thanks! It was so nice already knowing everyone! It is funny to think that it was the first time meeting.

 

[Piper]

I just sent everyone my number--a list would be nice Jessica--good to have it all in one place!

I check the glowsticks. I am scared to take them through security. They already act like I am a criminal because I have a plate and 8 screws in my neck and use a forearm crutch! I set off their alarms. When I have my own scooter with me--WOW!

I got out our suitcase this weekend. I have started putting things aside as I come across them in my day to day activities.
This is my first time meeting everyone, I am excited but nervous.
We arrive Saturday 1/29 and will probably just go to DTD for the afternoon.
On Sunday 1/30, we are planning on EPCOT then the dismeet.
Monday 1/31 will be MK all day.
Sadly we leave 2/1.

I cleared some space Piper. You can always send me a message on FB. I'm better at keeping up there.
