WOO HOO!

I am so excited for you all! I can't wait to hear all the details.

 

[MinnieNurse]

Followed you over from LL's report. Cant wait to hear more. My Dad is from Kentucky and I visited there every summer as a child. I have not been there in years. I use to love those trips every summer. We will be there the month before you.

 

[MegansMom]

Well, that was a very short start, but at least it was something!

I am sure many of you are sitting on the edge of your seats, salivating for the next juicy morsel and detail of the trip.....no, no, no.....THE CELEBRATION of what is to come. So let us get this party started off right.......with some introductions!!!!!

Celebrating down at Mickey's House will be Me (Jen---aka MegansMom), my DH (Tom---aka "Honey" and "Daddy") and my own personal princess (Megan---aka "Princess," "Squirt," "Megs"---seriously this list could go on forever!) Here we are!!!

Me and Megs

For those of you who don't know me, I am a stay-at-home Mom to my one beautiful daughter Megan. I used to teach High School English, but once Megan blessed our world, I stayed home to care for her and my family. I love scrapbooking and planning for our Disney trips, which we have been fortunate to take each year since 2006.

Tom and Megs

Tom is a VERY hardworking Corporate Accountant, and looks forward to taking his vacation every year. He has really enjoyed all our past WDW trips, and is looking forward to having another trip with just "his girls" this year!



And our Megs

She is our one and only, and truly the light of our lives! She is funny, sweet, and becoming so much smarter than her Mommy with each passing day!


So, now you know who we are.......in the next update, I will fill you in on a little more about us and all the history of this trip.....it is quite a lengthy one!!!! "Y'all come back now, you hear!!!!"

 

[Lady Lallie]

Megs is just so cute. So cute!

 

[Diamondintheruff]

High School English. Wow, that takes a special person. I'm a kindergarten teacher myself. I love them all bright eyed, fresh to the education system and most importantly shorter than me! Kuddo's to you for being able to work with teens.

So where are you staying? What are you planning? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Hurrah! The trip came true!! Can't wait to hear about the details. I think you mentioned resort stress? You must spill soon! You've kept us in the dark long enough. But seriously, so very glad that everything worked out and you're able to make the trip. Can't wait to plan with you!

 

[kschafer]

Reporting for roll call!

 

[TarzansKat]

Hot diggity dog! Now I have to go and compare your ticker to mine and see if I can figure out if our dates overlap!!!!

 

[maroo]

Hello! Followed you over from TK's TR.

I, too, want to compare tickers!

 

[MRYPPNS]

Hi Jen!
I'm so happy to hear that your plans are finalized!!!!

 

[MegansMom]

WOO HOO!

I am so excited for you all! I can't wait to hear all the details.

I knew you would make it!!! Details are coming....I promise my dear!

Followed you over from LL's report. Cant wait to hear more. My Dad is from Kentucky and I visited there every summer as a child. I have not been there in years. I use to love those trips every summer. We will be there the month before you.

So glad you came a strolling on over here!!! More scoop is on the way....I promise!!! Which part of the state is your Dad from? I am a "Northerner," from one of the counties that borders Indiana and Ohio---right across from Cincy. So sorry to hear that we will be missing you by a month though! HAVE FUN!

Megs is just so cute. So cute!

Yes, I concur. BUT, I know that I am WAY too biased for words!!!!! I still wonder all the time how I made something so darn cute!

High School English. Wow, that takes a special person. I'm a kindergarten teacher myself. I love them all bright eyed, fresh to the education system and most importantly shorter than me! Kuddo's to you for being able to work with teens.

So where are you staying? What are you planning? Inquiring minds want to know.

Well, I have always considered myself "special," but I am not sure that is what made me a successful High School English teacher!!!! I'm sorry---very slap-happy right now because.......I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!! I loved my Seniors, but I always felt the same way about Elementary teachers---don't know how you handle all those little kiddos some days! We are all gifted in our own little ways!!!

The details are coming......just you wait and see!!! BIG THINGS I TELL YOU!!!

Hurrah! The trip came true!! Can't wait to hear about the details. I think you mentioned resort stress? You must spill soon! You've kept us in the dark long enough. But seriously, so very glad that everything worked out and you're able to make the trip. Can't wait to plan with you!

Thank you for sticking with me through all the suspense!!! There is resort stress....I will speak of this VERY soon!!! I am so excited to have peeps to plan with too!!! I'm so glad you are here!!!

Reporting for roll call!

Hot diggity dog! Now I have to go and compare your ticker to mine and see if I can figure out if our dates overlap!!!!

Hmmmmmm?!?!?!?!?!?!?! We will just have to see how close of a brush with greatness I may have!!!

Hello! Followed you over from TK's TR.

I, too, want to compare tickers!

I am SO glad you hopped on over!!! I always enjoy your commentary---can't wait to hear your comments on this one! Compare away my dear!!!

My Dad grew up in Cumberland. Not sure which side that is on, like I said I have not been since I was about 16. So almost 20 years now. My Dad still has 1 brother alive there so he goes about every 5 years.

Cumberland is the bottom to my top of the state.....BUT it has beautiful lakes that I have gone boating on often with family throughout my life. A very pretty place to grow up I imagine!!!

 

[pooh'smate]
