Heather,

Congratulations to your DH!! Glad to hear his persistence has paid off! Tell him we wish him the best of luck at the new job! Awesome on the health insurance -- I know you're relieved!

How's your daddy doing?

What she said ... congrats on the job for DH ... and how's your dad? Every time I read a post from you I remember to say a prayer for him.

Thanks girls!! We are excited about the job and especially the insurance. (wouldn't you know that ds and I were approved for medicaid just this week we'll cancel that now)

Thanks for the prayers for dad!!!!! He is still in the hospital. We just went to see him yesterday...his pain is a bit better...but the meds are messing with him and he's been feeling sick. He's almost half way through the radiation (needs 13 days worth...on Friday he'll have 6 done). They don't do radiation on the weekends...so we don't know if he'll be discharged home and go back everday for radiation or what they'll do.

Heather, that's great news on the job front. And more prayers that your dad continues to improve.

Congratulations, Heather, on your husband finding a job. It's so nice that his benefits will start on day 1. I bet that is a major load off your minds.

 

[goofygal1975]

Thanks!! Yeah..insurance from day 1 is a big relief!!

1 year adn 28 days until our cruise!!! Can't wait until we are under a year countdown.

We just confirmed our December Disney trip!! We are renting points from a friend for AKV!! Dec 4th-7th. We will be going to MVMCP also!!! We've gone every year for the past 5 or 6 years except last year. So we are excited to be going back.

[rotary2808]

I think it is starting to look like a Dis meet.

Unfortunately, we won't be there........I'm beginning to feel a little left out!

Don't worry, you're not the only one feeling left out. We won't be there either.

Guess everyone has been busy these last few days. Hope everyone is doing ok.

We leave for the world in the morning! staying @ OKW....

Oh and in the past we have been know to travel to Disney, sometime the first week of December!

We are excited to see all the folks headed that way!

 

[goofygal1975]

WOW...there are alot of us that will be in the World in December!! I can't wait. In fact tomorrow I am going to call and order the MVMCP tickets!! (sorry for those who can't make it )

We've been doing pretty good here. Dh started work on Monday!! He'll be in training for the next 5-6 weeks. During the training his hours are 9am-5:30. On monday I thought I'd get up and clean and keep busy...but I fell back asleep at 7:30am and woke up at 11:30 Guess I needed the sleep!! yesterday I kept busy with housework and more housework!! Also putting together mother's day gifts for MIL and my mom. Putting 5 x 7 pictures from the wedding in a big frame...it has 9 different "frames" attached.

I ordered the Passporter DCL paperback book for DS for his bday (in june). I still haven't read my copy yet! He seemed to enjoy looking at my older copy.

Hope everyone is doing good!!

Jenn and Peter...enjoy your trip to the World!!!

Heather, how's your dad doing?

Heather, how's your dad doing?

Hey Ang...he's doing better finally. The meds were making him sick (he could only hold down carnation shakes) and was kind of out of it. He sometimes couldn't finish his thoughts. But they finally took him off of those meds and tried a patch and his regular pain meds. They just told us today that he should expect to come home on Friday!!!! Not sure if he is totally done with the radiation or not...but I know he will have chemo a few times after he gets out. I think this admission kinda got us all down...sometimes we feel guilty for going on with everyday lives while he is in the hospital or in pain. We are just glad to see that his pain isn't so bad anymore!!!

Thanks for asking!

 

[goofygal1975]

Well...better news...got the call that Dad is coming home today!!

Also...ordered our MVMCP tickets today and got an ADR for LTT for that night (Dec 5th).

Hey everybody! My name is Lessa and I just booked this cruise. I was originally booked on the Dec 6, 2008 sailing but had to switch dates due to my class/exam schedule. I'm really looking forward to this cruise, it is my first ever and no better way to start off cruising than with Disney right?!

Anyways here's our info:

Sailing: me, Lessa, 25 at the time of the cruise and my mother, Beth, 46, this will be her first cruise as well.
Stateroom: 6054
Second dining

We plan on doing the Trunk Bay excursion but do not know yet what we will be doing while in port at Tortola.

We plan on visiting WDW for a few days before the cruise,not sure where we are staying yet though, we have a while to decided right.

You're absolutely right - no better way to take your first cruise than Disney!
