Gina and Tim's buffalo wedding and 2 week disneymoon 6/15 day 5 and 6

[wigdoutdismom]

The boardwalk area is so nice! What hotels are over there?

The Boardwalk has rooms just over the actual Boardwalk area and just behind it. Then there is the Swan and Dolphin. Across the lake you have the Yacht and Beach Club resorts. It's such a great area!

Thanks! Roscoe is so cute but potty training OYYY it is killing me!! How long did it take you and what did you guys do? He hates to be locked up when we leave and he won't stop crying if we lock him up at night! I hope the disney part of the tr is good... I didn't write a thing down and am doing things by memory from the pictures lol if nothing else there will be some good pictures haha

Roscoe is a handfull! He has barely learned his name still haha. He is cutting teeth so he does chew, but luckily he doesn't chew things he isn't supposed to. The only thing he chews, that he probably shouldn't, is Tim's shoe, but it is an old one so Tim doesn't care, and he doesn't think he is allowed to chew other shoes so we let it go.

It took us a long long time.. because Shih Tzu are stuborn breed... but she's got the hang of it now.. in the beginning we took her out as soon as she woke up, after play, 20 minutes after she ate any meal, after a nap and before a meal. We also picked up her food and water dish.. to control things a bit better... now she's old enough we leave it down all the time.

She never cried at night, we got her a frabic crate, a heart beat pillow (which resembles a human heartbeat.. so they don't feel alone) and we got her a little toy that you heat up in the microwave and it would be warm in her bed. She loves her bed... she'll just crawl right it in now when she needs a rest.

I can't wait for your next update....

Oh man... we take him out constantly!! We do the same with the timing of taking him out and picking up the food. Well, we pick it up when we aren't home. If I am home I will leave it because he gets so excited to play that he forgets to eat.

We had a fabric crate oh man he hated that worse than this one. We now have a normal metal crate and I put a blanket down for him. He will go in to play and eat if i put his food in it. But lock him in and it's like it's the end of the world!!

I have to run errands today and try to figure out our photographer order. If there is time after all that I may start day 2. My posts won't be long at all because I have no details lol. So it shouldn't take too long to get through 2 weeks.

Thanks for joining!! Day 2 hopefully will be coming in the next couple days. I wanted to do it this weekend but I ended up having a million things to do so now I have to spend today finishing those millions of things and lesson planning for the next week or two!

Just found your report tonight and just finished reading it. Your wedding looks like tons of fun and you looked beautiful! Congrats!

Love the house and the puppy is adorable!

Can't wait for more!

 

[tinkabella627]

Thanks!! I really have to get on it and finish it...things are just really hectic with work right now. Hopefully I will get caught up in the next week or two with work.

I just stumbled upon your wedding/honeymoon TR and just wanted to say that I love your photos from the Albright-Knox (yes, I'm another Buffalo native!). And I recognized Salvatore's too!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Gina, hi! At least give me an update on what's going on at school....
Did you change grade levels?

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Gina! I'm finally caught up, and it looks like you've been busy, so thanks for giving me a chance! I loved your photo shoot pics - beautiful!
Your TR is off to a great start! Roscoe is so cute! If you haven't started yet, I would take him to puppy class. We trained puppies without it, and when we did the puppy class, we learned so much and had so much success, I would never get another puppy without it.

Your house is beautiful! Congratulations! How is your school year going? My DS and his wife (both new teachers) have had a few surprises in Texas, but they are loving it there, and their first house is just about finished, too!

thanks!! the pictures were my favorite part of the day we had such a good time!!

I didn't change grades!!! I am so happy about it. We were over enrolled though so we had a tonnnnn of extra kids. We finally got a new third grade teacher and evened out our classes. It is so nice to have 20 or less now. I am team teaching and that is great... but we just found out that next year we won't be allowed to team teach A lot of things are going on and now it is already time for fall exhibition so that is chaos. Every class has to do a project based learning and well with all the curriculum guides to follow I am going crazy. I am actually caught up this week and I think I will do an update tonight!

Hey I am glad my temporary disappearance helped you catch up We love Roscoe he is adorable... we didn't do puppy classes yet. I keep thinking about it but it just hasn't happened. He is typically really good for the most part. Thanks for the house compliment. We just got our washer and dryer last week so now it is complete! I love it!! My school year is going much better this year than last and I have an amazing class. It will be hard to give them up at the end of the year. I actually considered looping to 4th grade with them but I can not see myself starting a new grade over again.

Well... it has been quite a while since an update... and even longer since the honeymoon. So please forgive me if this ends up short and not very detailed. This will most likely end up being a picture TR with a few stories.. Like I said before, I never wrote a thing down and was depending on pictures to remember what happened each day. And Tim was supposed to serve as my memory, and he is working tonight so... with all that said..

June 30, 2009... MK and Epcot

We started this day by going to MK... I told Tim that I wanted to do EVERYTHING this year because we had 2 weeks to get it all in... and I definitely wanted to get someone to get on those teacups with me... He just lets me be happy in Disney and does whatever I want so I had hoped he would be the one to go on the teacups with me. When we got there, we stopped for the obligatory picture in front of the castle...

The shirt I got the design from the creative boards here and it says Just Married 6.27.09 I love it!!

I did not take tons of pics of everything we did (I guess I will have to take another trip just so I can take tons of pics and write everything down and do a better trip report next time) but the next thing I have a pic of is this..

meaning we went to HM next. Tim hadn't been on this because it was closed last time we were here (I think).

We went on IASW and I swear I take the same pictures every time I go on that ride. Someday I am going to learn to take good pictures so that I can be a little more creative with them. But I always take this one

because I took German in school
and this one

because my dad loves hawaii lol

And so the time finally came.... here we were looking at the teacups... And the line...

And I have the best husband ever because he went on and even let me take a pic!!

We met Buzz before getting on CoP. And I am sure we did plenty more that day but I just can't remember

I guess we went back to the hotel for a bit because later on we went to Epcot and I am in different clothes...which will have to be in my next post because my computer is going way too slow for me to have patience to upload everything... and just maybe Tim might remember more of what happened on this day.

I just found your PJ. Congratulations on getting married. Everything looked beautiful. Also your dog is so cute

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Awwww, Gina, you two look so happy together!
Lovin the pictures!

So tell me all about school!

 

[logansmummy]

We are Steeler Fans here, but you all have one of our boys in Buffalo, Paul Posluszny. He went to my husband's high school, and my son's elementary. He is an awesome guy and is very good to his family.

Your report is awesome and the pics are great! Congrats on the wedding and the house!

Thanks!! We do love our dog. He has a lot of character... and is getting very big. I will have to update pictures of him after a honeymoon post.

Thank you! School... is why I am just now getting back to this.... months later!! It has been crazy hectic and I have a very low class so I am struggling with state testing going to be coming up! But I do love love my kids. They are very well behaved and being that I team teach, I have 40 kids this year and some of them have such amazing personalities... but next year it is no more team teaching because we are applying for IB school that is a whole other stress and I just had to sign a 3 year contract... cross your fingers I don't lose it in these 3 years.

Thank you! Funny thing, we went to the Bills vs KC game in KC and we were sitting behind Poz's family. They were all so proud and so nice.


Ok... I am going to attempt to add more to this report.... I am sorry the details will be lacking because well... the honeymoon was a looooong time ago lol

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Gina, Hi! So glad to see you back on the DIS!!!
The good news is summer is on it's way....

Haha it is and I am on spring break now, which is why I have suddenly appeared again. How is school going for you?

We are at my brother's in SC which is very near Hilton Head (10 minutes about) and Tim has decided we need DVC lol. And I know they say not to use your points for other places but the way I have worked it out in my head is this...

Get 160 pts. Stay at the villas (I think they were the ones I looked at) that are about 76 points for a week during the time we would go. (or 93 for our other normal vacation time)...

Then bank the remaining 94 or 77. The next year use our 160 points to go elsewhere and use our banked points to make it back to disney. I am not sure if it will work out to be worth it or not and I really hate the idea of the maintenance fees so I am going to see what makes more sense for us. Just pay for trips out of pocket each year, or go this route.
