FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER...I'm NOT GOING HOME!! UPDATE DEC.30 PG 74

So sorry to hear about Lucky, here's a :hug:. I'm glad you took some time to relax and treat yourself yesterday.

Really enjoying following you along on this adventure! And I'm so happy to hear that your parents will be joining you in the sunshine state! :goodvibes Looking forward to more!!!
 
I am very sorry about Lucky.

It is good you took good care of yourself and what better way then spending it at the beautiful spa.
 
I'm so sorry about your sweet doggie. Not being there must have made it even harder.

No pics of your toes??? LOL :lmao:
 

I'm so sorry to hear about your beloved Lucky. I know all too well how hard it is to make that decision. :flower3:

Glad you got a spa day to help a little.

That Baily's shake looks awesome! My husband would love that. I'll have to tell him about it!

Congrats on being done with your classes! Holy long days at work, though.
 
I'm so sorry about your dog. It's hard to say goodbye to our furry friends. The spa day looks like a great way to cheer yourself up.

Wow, you are one busy girl! Ben is very cute. Love your hat selfies together! So where do you get your best GF meal on property? I've been GF since 2008, due to an auto-immune problem. I'm so so sorry about your dog, Lucky. I know how heartbreaking it is. My Winnie has been gone about 15 months now, and I still miss her so much.
 
Monday August 11

I had a lot of laundry and packing to do so I ended up spending my night doing that.


So is this it for the Disney Intern program for you? Seems like it went by so fast! I guess it's time to turn another page... We were down in July and I wanted so badly to come say "Hi!". I mean while I don't post much, I have pretty much been following all of your Disney adventures (and personal life adventures you've written about as well) for the last few years. Kind of felt like I know you :), but my oldest daughter said "Don't be a Creeper!". So I decided not to be a Creeper :(. Hope you let us all know how the move from up north to Orlando goes. Maybe that can be another trip report that you and your Mom can share together.

All the Best for you and your family!

First, congrats on finding a good nerd! It's like the Disney version of The Big Bang Theory ;)

Definitely sounds like you needed that Treat Yo Self day. So sorry to hear about Lucky! Hopefully you can focus more on all the good times you had with him rather than the end :goodvibes
 
Oh my, I always wondered about the CM's I see who walk the conveyor belts at unload and how tiring that must be. Good to know it's done in shorter shifts. But my goodness, over and hour of that would be terrible.

I love the group sing-a-long of Under the Sea. So fun.

Oh Caitlin, my sincerest sympathies on the loss of Lucky. And to Dawn as well. I know how hard that is. :grouphug:
 
Awww, I'm so sorry to hear about Lucky. It really is the worst to have to make decisions like that as a pet owner, but the best way to think about it is that he's in a much better place now. Sending extra pixie dust to you, Dawn and Dale! :hug:

Glad to hear you had a great Spa day! It sounds like it really was a perfect thing for you at the time :goodvibes
 
I know I commented on FB about how sorry I am about Lucky! It's so, so hard to lose an animal. Having lost Max in September and having two remaining elderly pets I know it will not get any easier. I'm glad you treated yourself to a "me" day.

Good luck traveling home and with the move this upcoming week. I hope all goes well! You guys are pretty amazing to be able to plan a move in such a short time.

You breakfast and lunch look amazing. That bread was gluten free on the sammie? Nice.

Speaking of gluten free - Costco has the BEST gluten free granola type bars. They are SOOOOOOO good. We have torn through a box of 28 in no time and now I need to get more.
 
Note to self: try a bailey's shake! YUM!

Also...wait...does Curl do custom Toms?!? I've been wanting some disney painted toms for ages but just haven't bitten the bullet yet, maybe I'll check them out!

The video game bar sounds awesome!!

Lovely day at the spa! Again, something I'm definitely checking out while down there, a nice relaxing day!! SO sorry to hear about your dog, and to have it happen when you're away sucks even more. We're nearly at that stage with my dog right now and I'm not sure if I'll actually get time to see her before it happens/I leave since she's at my Mom's & we live in different cities. Sad days.

Hope things are a little brighter in your life right now!
 
Caitlin,

I'm so sorry to hear about Lucky. As you may have saw on FB, we just had to put down our 13 year old husky. It was definitely one of the most painful moments of my life. They are truly like our children. Remember all the fun times and I hope your pain eases quickly. Look up the poem Rainbow Bridge. It's a beautiful poem.

Hi Caitlin.
Just to let you know that I haven't abandoned you.
Been a super busy summer (and it's not going to slow down for at least another 10 days).
But I have been following along.
Hopefully, later on I can start commenting a bit more.

So sorry to hear about your pup.
Having to put a pet down is a responsibility that many pet owners (including me) have had to deal with and it's never easy. :hug:

It's completely understandable! I have had quite the busy one myself!

Glad to have you!

Thank you for the hug! It was a very tough time for us but we know he is in a better place.



Love you too!

It was a nice little treat for myself :goodvibes

Yep never any slow moments for me!

Thank you!

I really love Ohana for their sticky wings! If you can't get an ADR there Kona does them as well!

Thank you. I am sorry for your loss :hug:

I'm not sure if I can opt out and just go part time or full time I am going to casting on Tuesday to find out.

You should have said hi!

Thank you! I laughed out loud at that comment :rotfl: I actually have him watching the first season of the BBT because he has never watched it!

I did! Thank you. I was able to we reminisced on our way back from MI.

It is so tiring! It was a very rough shift!

It was a very cute moment!

It was great!

I am sorry for your loss as well. I definitely needed a day to myself.

Good luck traveling home and with the move this upcoming week. I hope all goes well! You guys are pretty amazing to be able to plan a move in such a short time.

It has been crazy but good!

You breakfast and lunch look amazing. That bread was gluten free on the sammie? Nice.

Yep! Very good!

Speaking of gluten free - Costco has the BEST gluten free granola type bars. They are SOOOOOOO good. We have torn through a box of 28 in no time and now I need to get more.

I will have to look in to that!

Sorry about your puppy!

The spa looks awesome! 4hrs... nice!!!

Thank you.

It was a great morning!


Note to self: try a bailey's shake! YUM!

We will have to go get one!

Also...wait...does Curl do custom Toms?!? I've been wanting some disney painted toms for ages but just haven't bitten the bullet yet, maybe I'll check them out!

Yep they do! You should! They have the cutest ones and the artists are super talented!


The video game bar sounds awesome!!


It was very cool!

It was! You need to!

I appreciate that. It was very difficult not being there but I know he is in a better place and isn't suffering.

They are thank you!


I'm sorry about your dog :(

Thank you.

Catching Up

Hey everyone! Life over here has been nothing short of madness :lmao: I was able to make it through my very long day at work Friday and wake up early in the morning on Saturday and catch my flight without any issue :thumbsup2 After that it was a whirlwind tour of my favorite spots in MI. Here are a few pictures


Mom and I in Downtown Plymouth


The Spirit of Detroit


Me and my cousin's daughter





I think the saddest moments were saying goodbye to Comerica Park and Ford Field and the morning we left. My grandparents came over to see us off and everyone was crying.

From there it was just a lot of driving with this as my view



:lmao:


When we finally got to Florida my parents weren't too crazy about the place I picked out so we ended up having to find them a new apartment. We finally found one and they will be moving in this afternoon! Living out of a hotel for the past (almost) week has driven everyone crazy though! The first hotel we were at had two drug busts while we were there! We ended up at a much nicer Holiday Inn though and that was a welcome change!

We did have time for some Disney though! So I will update you on those days once all of the pictures are added to Photobucket!
 
Hoping this week is more settled for your parents in their new apartment

And that Casting provides you with a new "happy place" to work at!

Good luck to your dad at his new job, too!

This has certainly been quite the "summer of changes and new beginnings" for your family!:goodvibes
