Good morning ladies.
Back to work/school for many of us and our families. Hope you all had a good weekend, even if it was a bit soggy for some of you.
Well, I have sort of been dreading saying this, but doesn't seem to be much point in delaying it any longer. I won't be coming on the trip next month.
Everything is fine, just you know.......life getting in the way of what I want to do and forcing me to do what I should do. It's my fault really. I should've done a budget sooner. I guess I thought since I had a cheap ride there, and an annual pass that this would be a cheap trip. But I now see that the words cheap and Disney can never be put together in the same sentence.
Anyway, I've been putting Hannah and Noelle's braces off for far too long, so it's time to get started on that. The good news is both girls are fairly eager to get the long process started. Well, for now, until they find out what all is involved.

lol
Also this June I am really hoping to take a trip back to California for Ruben to see his family, friends and old co-workers. It's been almost a year and a half since we were last in CA. due to the transportation issues. We've planned multiple trips, such as the one for my birthday last October, and in the end I've always canceled them due to the high cost of renting a mini van.
This time however I am determined our family go no matter what so I'll need to save money for that. We won't be doing any theme parks or anything. June will strictly be a time to visit with family and friends, but as you all know there are always expenses involved anytime you go anywhere.
Ruben is really pushing me to go on the DL trip, saying not to worry about it, but he's generous to a fault and I really don't think it's fair for me to spend our money for a Disney trip, and then possibly not have enough for him to get back home to see family and such. So I'm not listening to him.
Anyway, that's basically where I'm at now. I had to make a choice and I made it. It wasn't easy for sure. Wanting to go, but knowing it probably wasn't the smart thing to do. I've been waffling back and forth for a while as some of you know. I had contacted only a few people just in case I didn't make it, and needed coverage for meals and such.
I will miss all of you. Miss seeing my friends and meeting new ones. But I know you will all have a great time. Take lots of pics!!! Say hi to Chip and Dale for me.
I look forward to seeing those of you coming to Vegas in June.

Makes it a little easier to deal with knowing I'll have that time to look forward to.
Linda and Cheryl, I am glad I got to see you over Thanksgiving as well.
Theresa, Donna and Vicki, I am really glad for our chance to visit just recently.
And if anyone is in the Vegas area, please give me a holler. Maybe we can meet for a meal or something. That would be nice.
Thanks for listening ladies. Sorry for droning on like that, but I just wanted to let everyone know.
TTYL!!
