Girls Only~ OLD THREAD, new one linked in first post

I'm back! I had a wonderful time, but it went too fast.

The highlight of my trip was my surprise shower. I knew something was up, but did not expect just about EVERYONE to be there. I went into an ugly cry for a minute, and then held it together or at least held it down to a quiet gentle cry. The most touching thing about it was all the work that went into the planning, and the fact that my friends took a time out from their busy vacation to honor me and our precious little Natalie. You all are the best friends ever! I received some of the most wonderful clothes, and just looked at them all for the 3rd time while showing DH. He and I are both touched by how generous everyone was. I fall in love with the outfits more and more each time I look at them. I also received a very generous gift card to Babies R Us. I haven't decided exactly what to get yet, but I'll let you all know as soon as I do! I sure hope I get lots of pictures of the night!

Here are a few of my photos. I looked forward to this trip with my friends for a year, and now it's over. It's sad, but I look forward to next year!

Heather, glad you made it home safely. And we were THRILLED to throw you a baby shower!
I can't wait to see everyones pictures! (since I only took a couple.)

 

[DizNee Luver]

That was sweet of the girls to throw you a baby shower!!
Thanx for sharing your pictures (eventhough some of them weren't loading right for me)!!

My mom and I are also on the way home. We had such a great time. It was so nice to see everyone again and also to meet the new Diva's.

So when do we start planning for next year?

Portland area... probably Beaverton though.

You'll be about 45 minutes from me then. My oldest son lives in Tigard. We go up to Portland all the time to take the twins to Doernbecher's Children's Hospital. Let me know when you start heading north.....would love to meet up with you & welcome you to Oregon!!!

Bring rain gear......

I am back home from a four fun filled Disney Diva Days!! When you read Stacie's trip report which will be filled with hysteria and reports of my almost fatal accident on Fantasy Land's carousel due to my slippery pants, and my being scared of Mr Lincoln, and sleeping in Calcutta, crying on... well, Melody, Cheryl, Stacie, Steph, Jane, Callie, ...did I leave anyone out?...it might seem that I didn't have fun...but I had a hoot, a blast and dang it...a bit of a WHIZ BANG!!!!

So, I want to thank anyone and everyone . Thanks Beth for keeping up on the whole overseeing the organization and starting the idea in the first place, thank you for the M&G team (how fun was that?----and why did everyone think that I would beat up a girl scout?), the Scavy team...my gosh you worked hard (though I curse you a teeny, Cheryl my friend for making me feel a wee stupid...but love you dearly anyway), thanks for all who organize reservations and think of photo ops and showers and of er grocery deliveries or hand holding or whatever is needed. And...for those who show up...thanks for that as well.

A special thanks to my roommates this years. Seriously ladies. I could, and am getting teary right here at my computer...it was wonderful. How could it work as well as it did? You are great...thank you for sharing your lives for the four days and your space with me!! Oh, and HAPPY b-day Deb!!!!!!!

So...seriously, next year...c'mon Jane..you were already our honorary roommate this year, and Cheryl, Wendy, Katie? Roommate wannabes? I am sure we could become a more crowded and poorer city, leave Calcutta behind? Bangladesh perhaps?

Anyway...love and light and joy to you all!!

Ride Winnie the Pooh for me tomorrow...Do it for Okra!!!

Oh. and thanks all for keeping our thread on the first page in our absence you guys are the bomb!!!!!!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Ooh la la....that looks lovely!!!

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

We're home! Well, we've been home for a couple hours and I agree with everyone the time flew by way too fast.

We (Mom and I) had a complete BLAST and I want to thank ALL of you for making us feel so welcome and cozy and like we've known each other for years. You are such wonderful women and I am honored to be a part of all of this.

Okra, you're going to make me cry again.

Donna, GREAT first picture ever! I don't know who gave that to you though.

Deb, HAPPY BIRTHDAY because even though I saw your birthday button, I forgot to tell you (doh).

Heather, we are so glad you loved the shower. Baby Natalie is going to have so much cute stuff when she comes!

I'm happy everyone is getting home safe and I know most ladies are partying it up in Chris' villa right now (luckies!).

I'm off to bed. I love you all and will talk to you in the morning, whenever I wake up!

Courtney, I didn't get the chance to tell you and your mom bye. I had a blast with you on the scavy hunt.

 

[grumpyvet]

Okra, you're going to make me cry again.

Courtney---I forgot I cried on you too!!! How could I have? We were set up...

I was the weepiest one most of the trip, started Saturday and hasn't stopped. I bawled in my car while driving down the highway when I discovered I'd closed my fabric from Dawn that I'd hooked to my belt loop in the car door. (boy that was a run-on sentence--sorry Mr. Walker, my H.S. composition teacher!!).


I hope Steph gets her Magicale tonight!!!!


Please someone let us know about the fun in the Villa tonight....how nice of Chris to invite everyone. Working tomorrow. Ick.

I know....work is so bad they have to pay you to do it....just keep swimming just keep swimming.......

Prize for the M & G game. You are tired - - get some sleep.

I thought vacations were supposed to be relaxing. Lol. I'm so tired and I was only there since Friday night.

 

[jordansmomma]

Okra - Calcutta misses you!!!

Chris is an AMAZING hostess!! The villa was very nice! It was great fun!!
