"Double Dip Delight" 09.27.2008 - Chapter 5!

Wow I can't believe you all are still going on this thread - its been forever since I checked it. Things are going well here - actually getting ready to take a "surprise" cruise on Saturday - can't wait. But I have to tell you - the cruise thread for that cruise was so DEAD. I mean they didn't even make it past the first 11 pages or something - sigh. I don't think anyone will ever live up to you guys :hug:
 

Hi everyone!!!!

Sadly I found out today that one of my bridemaids won't be able to make it up for my wedding. I'm very sad about it, but I want her to get her life in order more. :( My fingers are still crossed that she'll at least be able to make it up here to be at the wedding. (She lives in Florida, BTW)

Going through our registry right now trying to finalize it. It's so much fun!

Hope all is well with everyone! :)
 
hello from boxland!! :) well we are done to 29 boxes... 4 in the office.. the rest are just basement boxes and we still that way for a while!! :)

the kids love having a pool right up the street!! the problem is we havent been getting there until 3 or 4. so far everyone is friendly and the kids meeting a bunch of people.

we watched the cruise video on Sat... I want to go now!!! :)

I know you really wanted her - I certainly hope she can at least make the wedding. If not, you can touch base with her on your honeymoon!!

OH NO :scared1: You weren't done!! Somebody should have told Nana!!!

No worries about the registry...We just need to add a few things. Everything that is on there is going to stay on there. :)

Val, glad you're nearly moved in! :)
 
Hey gang!

Just caught up..

Shel, enjoy your cruise! I'm JEAL-USSSSS! :rotfl2:

Amy, I'm sorry about your bridesmaid! I hope she can make it up to see the wedding! :guilty:

OMG Reigstries are SOOOO much fun! We didn't do one for our wedding (we eloped) but I had a blast with the kids' ones. I really went overboard on Sarah's!:lmao:

Val: How are you enjoying GA? LMAO, we have more boxes sitting around than you I think!:rolleyes1 (I'm trying to purge old baby clothes and stuff)..I'm glad to hear you guys are getting settled in!

Well, Savannah made the dance competition team this year. That is a great achievement for her at only 8 (last year the youngest was I think 10) but it sure is going to dig a huge hole in our disposable (coughcough-cruise) income. We have to shell out around $1000+ in the next month alone for fees, intensives and all that jazz (literally!):eek:
Of course that is not counting costumes and choreography, competition fees (now she will have to go to four plus nationals) and conventions (which I don't know much about but I'm sure they are expensive) lol...the worst part is we are in for it with Sarah too, you should see her dance! ;)

It is a gorgeous rainy day down here..I'm going to try to get a nap! :thumbsup2

Tell Savannah -
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :cheer2:

I never had anyone in dance but I had a son on several travel soccer teams and the extra expense on those was enough!!! (and he didn't need alot of extra costumes :lmao:). Good luck!

OMG - you're just going to have to post a little clip of Sarah dancing!!!!!!!

Oh I will tell her, thank you! :)

Soccer is NOT cheap, my stepbrother played soccer for years and boy it was really expensive!

I took some good video yesterday of Sarah but I can't post it until I get my other computer back! I will though, it is so cute~!
 
Jen,

I thought I had replied to Savannah making the dance competition group and I must not have! OMG! I know too well about the money dance costs but it is so worth it!

If any of her competitions/conventions bring her up to Eastern PA, let me know! I would love to see her dance! :)

:thumbsup2

Thanks! I think I am in cruise denial :lmao: We were originally going in Oct but then an opportunity to go earlier came up and now its here :scared1: Ummm packing - yeah......gotta do that :rotfl2:
 
Yeah Savannah!! :)

Thanks guys! :)

Amy I will be sure to let you know! If the schedule stays the same as last yr, Nationals are in Orlando, and that will be the furthest we go (they stay at the Sawn/Dolphin....yayyyyyy! :banana: I'll take two extra nights please ! ;)). I do know though that they have gone to NYC in the past years so we'll see (OMG the cruise fund will be totally depleted if that happens!)

She starts her summer intensives next week and we are really anxious to see what girls are in which divisions. They have really expanded their company in the last few years and this year so far it seems like the younger divisions exploded. I hope some of ehr friends are moving up with her but we were really suprised that she got put in competition when there were two more levels of performance team to move up to..hope all of her friends aren't still back in performance team!

We took the kids to the movies yesterday (we were going to see Up but the times didn't work out so we ended up seeing Night at the Museum 2)...Sarah did not do so good. LOL, I guess she is at that age. She was happy enough just walking around on the ramp into the theater, and they should give her a job since she did such a good job cleaning all the popcorn off the floor! :upsidedow

Today...Ron & the kids are out buying fireworks for the neighborhood show, we will spend the day hanging in the pool, grilling, watching the hot-dog eating contest, it will rain this afternoon, and then we will head over to the Pier in ST. Pete for the big show, then back home for the neighborhood fireworks show! :thumbsup2

Hope you all have a safe and happy 4th! :smooth:
 
Happy 4th everyone!!

We had a bike decorating contest this morning. This afternoon is a pool party and cookout. Then off to the next neighborhood for fireworks. I love living near a pool :)
 
I hope everyone had a great 4th!! It's been quiet on here.


Val, are you all settled in??
 
Shell: We have all the boxes gone on the top 2 floors.
next big item is area rugs. I am not used to this much hardwood floors.. I am a carpet kind of girl. and we need blinds... we have temps up and for now they work. :lmao:

I am in Pittsburgh this week... I can relax and cool off. :goodvibes and next weekend is my high school reunion!! :) hope we have good weather!!

hope everyone has a good weekend!
 
Hi guys, I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately...I've been so busy with work...sadly today I was laid off from my full time job. I'm still in shock...

Just needed to share with my Double Dip Family.
