5 DAYS for you!!!

11 DAYS for me!!

 

[JMat]

True Story! Getting pretty excited. I have to get through the week though, and its apparently mounted an assault on me to be as hectic as possible

Tomorrow I have two bridal appointments at the studio, then an engagement shoot at the waterfront, and wrapping up @ dinner with a previous Bride. Then Thursday is editing until 3, then Boston engagement shoot in Harvard Sq. until 5p. (BUT, I think this is the LAST e-shoot of the year! WOOOHOOO ) and meeting Eric out for burgers and beers. Its our Thursday tradition since we both moved out.

/sigh. Still going: Friday I'm waking up to second shoot a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony at 10am before a couples wedding - then around noon someone is taking over for me - since I still have to pack (I know, I know... dont tell mom) and try and decorate Allie's room and set up her surprise gifts.

Saturday we're getting Alsagirl and having family dinner before our 330am wakeup call on Sunday to make our flight.

Want to know whats scary? I havent even finished my PTR yet . Worst. Blogger. Ever. Bah.

SO - betcha cant guess what I'm about to dooooooo.......

Your trip is in FIVE days!!

I really, truly, completely can't wait to read your trip report. You are writing one, right?


Please do share wedding photos when you can! Nuthin better than checking out weddings, especially the Boston ones- so fun to look at.

So - Friday kicks off our last full day in the Happiest of Places on Earth... Sad, I know. Im still trying not to think of it. Id rather soak up as much magic as I can instead! Pink Mickey Ears are a must on this day. Gotta keep spirits up!

So as to be expected, we're planning on spending the majority of the day inside our favorite park, Magic Kingdom. Here we can ride our faves again, eat our faves again (Hello? Dole Whip Queen.) and get all those pics we didnt snag before I love MK. Love it like I can smell it in the air, I can feel it in the way I walk down Main Street, and hang on for dear life to those happy thoughts in the nasty gnarly cold days of New England winter. Im unsure as to what the day itself will hold, as Id rather let it play out however is best for us - but I know we'll be ending with a dinner reservation at Tony's Town Square - which is new for us, none of us have even been inside. Exciting stuff

One thing is certain, Ill probably keep everyone out roaming around until the fireworks - which I believe is only Hallowishes this night - since its one of the last nights for MNSSHP. However, I really want to see them on the last night - its a popular tradition, and ill probably cry a little bit as we say goodbye to another great trip. Dad will inevitably reassure me that we'll be back - which I know we will... and Mom will make sure I know that no matter what or when, she'll make SURE we come back - Grandchildren and all

We wake up Saturday with Kona reservations and an afternoon flight to catch - so maybe ill end up doing a little shopping along the monorail resorts - or ill kick and scream and lock myself in the bathroom.... yknow... whatever ...

And since I only have a few days left... I should probably thank my husband for doing the MOUNTAIN of laundry I had accumulated... Id post a picture, but it was mortifying. Thanks Kris!!

Being a dork... procrastinating the one million things I have to do, and doing the same thing I do ALL day...

playing in front of the Mac. Doofus.

Whatever, Here - laugh at my silly faces since I just discovered mirroring myself in photobooth!! I swear I take great pictures in real life

conjoined twins.... im thinking of photoshopping for Halloween

The problem is, Im always (at least usually) BEHIND the camera instead of in front of it - so I have great pics of everyone else. See this EPIC action shot I grabbed of the DH while he was playing camper vs. staff Flag Football?

A few wedding details just for fun from this past crazy weekend...

Can you see the bride in the reflection of the motorcycle?

Pretty cake with pretty light...

okay.... more to do.... XOXO Goodnight

[Heluvsme]

You leave in 2 days!! I hope you're packing!!

 

[JMat]

Yes, Its actually 730 am

we just woke up to book our boarding groups for southwest, and now Im too excited to go back to sleep However, im also too tired to be witty... lol

Im packing all day today, and hitting up Target with Ero. Ill post pics of the pile of suitcases, family dinner, and Als surprises later tonight... since - lets not kid ourselves - theres no way im really sleeping tonight either

Meanwhile, back at the ranch - Kris is out cold again, since he stayed up WAY too late and watched scary movies on TV

(Also: Ive never done a PTR, which means Ive never done a TR.... so I might need a little guidance in setting that up when I get back... since Id love to share my stories!) Thanks .XO
