Inkedupmommas getting married y'all! A WPJ & Disneyfamilymoon PTR!OMG, TR link is UP!

[ronnmel]

I read your reply to me and I thought I'd come back another time to reply since I'm tried and didn't feel like writing, but then I read your update where you said you were tired and writing anyway, so I decided to make an effort. Thanks for explaining all of your tattoos. I love tattoos! Ron thinks I have enough already, but I will definitely get something for Peanut, and then later on for kid #2. Just not sure what yet...

I vote for dropping the CRT ADR. There will be other trips, and they will be other opportunities for dates. Didn't you say your kids loved the kids' club last time and want to go back? Why not try a walk-up the day of? I'm sure you'll find something, early February is not a busy time.

I was like you too. Ron really wanted to do a walk-up last trip and I kept telling him it would be impossible, especially in August! But then we walked up at Brown Derby and were seated in less than 5 minutes! Granted it was at 8:30pm, but still. It gave me the confidence to try it again.

I think I am terrified of any fights.. like not agreeing out of hunger or something... silly I know.. but ugh

 

[tlenzendorf]

I'm singing "The sun'll come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun!" out loud for you

Oh yeah, that can be a problem... happened to Ron and I a few times in Disney. Happens to us at least once a week at home.

Jenn, it sounds like you're right on track with the wedding. As far as obsessing over the familymoon-you've been to WDW enough times to wing it if you have to.

I am one of those people who is always saying "I have to do this and this and this and this-it will only get done the right way if I do it", but you know what? Even if I don't do everything-the world doesn't end. Nothing is ruined, and life always goes on. It's much easier to say than do, but try to relax and give yourself a break. You have a TON going on-the only person who expects you to be superwoman is you.

Please update only when you can, but don't feel that all of your updates have to be upbeat and positive. Use us as a sounding board and as your own personal cheerleaders. We're much cheaper than therapy.

As for your bridesmaid gifts the jewelry is common so that the girls are all wearing the jewelry that the bride wants them to wear on the wedding day. If you don't care what jewelry they wear then skip it. You could get each gal a beautiful scarf or umbrella, a book of poems that you love, or frame a special picture of the two of you. Since the wedding is near Christmas, you could take a plain ornament and insert a short note you've written to each girl saying how much they mean to you. Or, you could go fun/silly and impractical and get each a pair of embroidered Mickey ears to go along with your familymoon/Disney love. I've seen websites that offer wineglasses featuring a caricature of people-that could be fun.

I hope I've helped some! Please try to eat well, get a good nights rest at least a few times per week, and focus on your family. The rest will fall into place.

that much is true... probably why I have no other schedule aside from ADRS

I know right.. why do I hold such high expectations?

Oh yeah, yall are my therapist 6 days a week... I see a real one on thursdays

Hi you!! How goes it? Sorry for the lack of appearance. The exhaustion thing kills me!

By the way, your post cracked me up!

It's going well! Busy but well! Going to try and get invites out tonight/this week! So hopefully I will have some pics!

 

[KatMark]

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Bob and the kids.

 

[starann]

For my girls I got them totally different things....one gal ;ikes Tiffany lamps so I got her a Party Lite tiffany lamp. Another was really big into Longaberger so I got her some exclusive stuff. And so on...I got them gifts that reminded me of them and their likes rather than jewlery they will never wear again!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

I hope that you and Bob and your little cuties all have a very Happy Thanksgiving...

Do come out and play after your Turkey coma wears off...

 

[tlenzendorf]

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Hey Jenn,

I bumping you again... and this time you're going to need to bring it... (at least a little)

Inquiring minds want to know what's doing...

I want my wedding fix... at least a little wedding fix...???


(BTW... I saw some pretty darn adorable family tree photos on FB... didn't get to comment yet... but they are pretty cute...)

 

[inkedupmomma]

I'mma bring it! as you know by fb I have some stuff to actually post! I'll start with this, all of a sudden I am CRAZY excited for the wedding! Mania?? possibly lol

 

[inkedupmomma]

yooo hoooo.. anyone still here?? Gah.. I'm so sorry I have been sucking at this!

Life is SO busy anymore! I'm not complaining, just explaining!

So.... HOLY COW, 53 days until I say I do! and 55 until our Disneymoon!

I last left you off with dress fittings, and the start of invite prep! Well, they have finally been sent out and here they are!~

I love the finish product and think they turned out pretty unique!

Did I mention before that my friend made them and got them printed as our wedding gift You can't imagine the amount of relief that was! and my God, did she help us save a ton of money!

So far, I have only received one RSVP. If you recall we made them mad libs! Actually, that reminds me, I dont think I checked the mail today.. which also reminds me that I need a spread sheet for food options and what not... **.

In other news, I had hands down one of the best Thanksgivings I have had to date and an awesome Black Friday! Here are some pics from T-day

In case you are wondering, YES, that is my dad in both pics! He was actually very pleasant to be around, and we all had a great time.. and GASP, he gave me money towards the wedding. Not enough to even cover the DJ, but who cares, the thought was there!

After we ate our faces off, me, Bob and my 16 year old niece (in bottom pic with me) went Black Friday shopping! We left around 8:45 pm, and got home around 6 am or so! I had so much fun! I tried to sleep when I got back home, but decided to stay up and play with the love of my life lately!

Since I am certifiable,I went BACK out on BF to take my mom shopping! That wasn't great fun, but she got some stuff. Honestly, if you don't go out Tday night for BF you might as well not go out at all. ALL items were gone by the time she went out :/ I was happy to have hit up Abrecrombies midnight sale of 50% off whole store! Kayla hit the jackpot there and that is the only way it was going to happen!

Needless to say I PASSED out around 8:30 Friday night and did NOT want to wake up Saturday.. but I did We had a very special day planned Saturday!

It was our Annual Tuckamony Tree Farm day! We go there and pick a tree and then chop it down!


Check out the super cute outfit I bought and dressed baby girl in!

Yes, I am deeply and madly in love with her! and I forgot, on Thanksgiving morning Bob had to be up for work at 5:45, so i was up too. Sadly for my sister, my nephew heard Bob and woke up too! Rather than go back to sleep, I took him in my room (knowing darn well, I was shopping that night and cooking/hosting all day) and we watched Brave!

Back to Christmas tree time! We got our tree and sadly my sis had to leave from there :/

I had a job afterwards, so Bob took the tree and his parents back to our house, while I worked.


Continued in next post.....

 

[inkedupmomma]

After a few days the tree was fully up and running! The house was fully decorated on BF day, by Kayla and Bob while I was out with my mom!

Some ornaments.. because I know you care!

and the mostly finished product!

LOVE my Disney tree, each and every year!

and speaking of Disney.. check out the AMAZING hoodies Bobs mom made us for the honeymoon!

I dont have a pic of the front but I will get one!

SOOOOOOOOO.. that is what i have been up to! I go end of the month to pick floral, and will have pics for you then! I'm excited for that!

Did I mention that my hair girl backed out on me last minute too?? Yeah... that was awesome. NOT! So I am now looking for that!

However, with all of this said, I have had ups and downs lately, but am super excited (finally) for the wedding! Things seem to be coming along well, andas of today, I have no real complaints!

I am sorry I have been crappy at this lately, but I just don't feel interesting... which makes me think I can't write... viscous cycle! BUT, I love you all!

No real disneymoon news either.. been kinda lax about this trip... all ADR's are now in check though. Canceled CRT and booked HBD. Mel was right, it could be nicer with no kiddies! So, we will give it another chance!

OK.. what am I missing guys! Ask questions, and I'll have answers! Or direct the report for me!

Hope you are all well and enjoyed your holiday! and I hope you are as excited for the upcoming Holiday as I am!

oh and 15 days until Kayla turns 12. UGH. Don't..CAN'T.... talk about it!

 

[WDWaddictt]

Welcome back. Great to hear things are going well for you! I knew the wedding will/is coming together, everything you have done is awesome! BEAUTIFUL!!

I finally started my PTR, called PTR: Congratulations!! Start planning your vacation!! Surprise we are going to WDW. I am on my iPad so I can't show a link. I also posted it in the Trip report spot in error. Just thought I would let you know if you are interest in reading it.

 

[ronnmel]

We disappeared from the Dis and came back at the exact same time! I feel like I have so many updates to catch up on, so I'm kinda glad you took a break. LOL I love your tree.
