I totally forgot to post this elsewhere, but I'm sorry to hear about the camera! Hopefully you can get the battery replaced soon.

Okay, I have read about 4-5 pages just to get caught up.

I'm sorry to hear about Grandmother. I hope she doesn't give up and will be praying for her. And for all of you. I am sure it is very hard on her, when she is so use to giving help.

Sorry to hear about the camera. hope you are able to get a new charger soon. It sounds awesome. I am going to go back and look at your pics tonight. Can't see them at work. Firewall you know.

Ahhhhhh, you aren't doing the 1/2. Well, we'll just have to meet another time. But I remember how bummed your were that Lisa was going to miss it. She must be doing better if she is planning to do the one in Jackson. Didn't she hurt one of her legs?

Gosh, you have been busy rearranging all of your trips. Thanks for the cheat sheets. They help a lot.

We had so much fun. And Liesa does have pictures. But she will be heading back over the big pond tomorrow (a 36 hour trip), so I am sure it will be later before she can update and get pics to me...so we will have to hold on for that...

Sorry about the camera...

I did see a nice group pic posted by MeMom on mrsksomeday's thread....

WOW! Great under water pics! I wanna be able to do that.
But......I don't go swimming very often.

Glad to hear that you had such a wonderful time at your dismeet!

Thank you! We had a blast!!!!

I am actually ordering a replacement charger and extra battery today!

This has been excruciating. On so many levels. Just to think that one Saturday afternoon her back hurt and within 2 weeks they are talking about having to move in to Lauren's house because they don't have an accessible house... So, she is basically losing her ability to walk, some independence and her home - her whole life has been turned upside down.

And this poor family...one thing after another... it is just too much.

Lisa is having a hard time, too...so much to do in her regular life to keep her family going, house clean, everyone's needs met. And add getting the house ready to add more people and she is about at her ropes end.

Sorry to hear about the camera. hope you are able to get a new charger soon. It sounds awesome. I am going to go back and look at your pics tonight. Can't see them at work. Firewall you know.

It should be here in the next few days! I ordered 2 chargers and an extra battery, too!

Lisa did have a fracture in her leg. It is much better now! She has been riding her bike and walking some.

I have some other folks that are going to do the half with me from work. But I do hope Lisa does it, too!

I just don't have enough vacation time to do all of the things I would like to do in 2010. I have some exciting stuff up my sleeve!

Sorry about the camera...

I saw that pic!

I will post it over here as soon as I get the pics for the rest of meet, too!

Liesa's Dad burned me a CD of all of the pictures and has already put it in the mail...so I should have it in the next couple of days. I can't wait to update you guys!! I will do a full mini-TR over here and she will do one on her thread, too!!

WOW! Great under water pics! I wanna be able to do that.
But......I don't go swimming very often.

It was so much fun getting those pics!

I can't believe you live in this Mississippi heat and don't go swimming often?!

Ok...

Think Christmas! December! Hence the green writing...


I am BOOKED!!!!

On a Southwest flight (used some of my credit! ) that will land at the Orlando airport late on Thursday, December 10th!




Beyond that... Well...I don't know. My schedule is completely up in the air (no pun intended) and will be until around the first part of July...

So...

Stay tuned!

 

[TarzansKat]

Congratulations! Booking airfare is always exciting!

Congrats on booking your flight! That always makes the trip so permanent for me!

It's too bad our trips don't overlap a bit more. I'll be leaving on the 12th.

 

[eyor44]

Yeah on December flights!

 

[that's nice]

When are you gonna plan your January February and March trips?

We will be there March 6-14th. LOLOL

Thank you!! I am very excited!!

We have to try to meet up! I have no idea what my schedule looks like on that day... but it would be so cool to meet up!

I was so excited to see that Southwest was booking! And to get the flight taken care of was great, too. I am going!!

There will be no Jan, Feb or March trips!

Although, I have to admit I TRIED to get Lauren and family to go stay in an offsite condo for Spring Break...but they said they don't want to do Disney again for a while...they would rather go to the mountains or something?



I will be going with Lauren on her choir trip again, going to Disney in September with All7ofUs (my stranger trip!) and..... well, you never know what I have cooked up. But nothing in Jan, Feb or March.

We have to try to meet up! I have no idea what my schedule looks like on that day... but it would be so cool to meet up!

I'll have a bunch of free time over my last few days as my plan is right now so we should be able to work something out. The 10th is actually my off day, possibly with MVMCP at night, and the 11th is just a go whereever we want type of day, and I'll have some free time my last morning too. We should definitley be able to work something out in December.

 

[that's nice]

But nothing in Jan, Feb or March.

I wish there was a place in the User CP where you can store quotes. I'd like to break this one out someday in the near future! LOLOLOL

Did I say no trips in Jan, Feb or March?!?! I said that?

Oh yeah...I remember now....

Hmm....

I suppose you never know. You might want to keep that quote.

NO

*sigh, I know its not all about me!!

But I truly was looking forward to meeting you in Jan '10 - I even made DD read all your trip reports so she would know you too!! *sinff

DD and I just came back from a Mission Trip in Michigan - so overwhelming - great experience! Lots of "God Moments" - -

coming back to real life has been really really sad!

I know what you mean about the overwhelming time Lisa has - its overwhelming reading about it! But I do read about all the love that is surrounding y'all! and prayers and

Sorry about your camera battery charger - that is such a cool camera, the pictures you posted were AWESOME!! (I've lost my camera charger so many times I bought a back up at Walgreens!)

Guess I"m going to have to figure out how to do a solo trip for a F&W visit in '2010 - maybe they will do a Free DIning then??

I totally missed answering your post earlier!!

I have NO idea what my schedule is going to be yet for the 11th. I also think I will end up at MVMCP that night...possibly. But I am not sure yet.

But we can definitely check that out closer, too!

I am so sorry!!!! I am looking forward to meeting you, too!

But I will be at the Marathon in 2011!! So you better be there, too!!

Poor Lisa... I am at their house right now and there are 4 kids here to add to the amazing amount of stress.

If you go in Sept - try for Labor Day weekend and the week after...because we will be there then... but I am talking about 2010...which is against the rules on this TR... so you will have to PM me for that info.

I am typing through tears....




HAPPY tears!!!




Grandmother WALKED today!!! With her walker, but on her own!!!!







We are so, so excited. This opens a whole new world for us - since she has gotten back that much movement, it looks GREAT for her to continue to improve!



And that...to me...was worth an update... off topic or not!

We will CELEBRATE next time we are in DISNEY! (so there...back on topic. )

 

[TarzansKat]

GRANDMOTHER WALKED TODAY!!!!!!!!!

I want to do a big ole happy dance for you all! I'm so happy, she must be so pleased!!!

 

[MeMom]

Your grandmother's progress is definitely something to celebrate!


I thought I had already shared this picture with you, but I guess not. Here's the Hippo Meet picture that was taken with Jill's camera.

I hope you let us know whenever you come through Nashville again.

 

[If U Had Wings]

That's so wonderful!! So glad to hear some good news.
