My first trip to WDW and DH's first time being arrested (Dec 2009)

[CooperPrincesses]

Oh lord I was hoping to get to the end of this thread and find out what happened. Now I will just have to sit here in suspense. *Sigh* don't make us wait to long.

 

[RigLee]

and PS I would love to see a picture too. You both sound adorable.

Would it sound too conceited if I said we are adorable.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! This is the first TR i have read without pictures, and all at one time. The suspense is killing me. I can't wait for the next installment!

I will not make oyu wait too long for the next chapter. hold on, it' coming.

Everytime I read this (which by the way is way too often at work) I get this picture in my head of the movie, "Where The Heart Is" - the one where the girl gives birth in
Wal-Mart - that movie. Not that your givin birth but you remind me of that main character Novalee - she was so sweet and cute and nice. Your story is sweet like that. Keep it coming girl cuz you have a lot of followers!!!

That was a sweet movie. I loved the character of Novalee.

This is how I can't leave packing to the last minute.

I have 4 children. 13, 12, 5, and 3 are their ages. I have been looking ALL OVER THIS HOUSE for clothes I know exist. Looking for clothes that still fit, making sure the clothes I find are clean, and not just thrown back into drawers. Its taken me all day to just sort out their clothes. If I left that to the last minute, it wouldn't be pretty.

I can't even put into words what my living room looks likes.

And then you had to go and put up another chapter!

I got so tired and stressed just reading that. I think when ever I have kids I am going to budget into every disney vacation somebody to come over and pack for me.

Oh my gosh, I am so enthralled with this thread it's ridiculous!

I am loving reading your story of your marriage and your fist Disney visit. I have been there so many times I can picture every thing you talk about. I feel like I am walking right next to you along the way.

I am laughing, getting teary eyed, wishing I knew a man like Rig and so many more emotions.

Great writing and I cannot wait to read what happens next. The tension builds!

Marriage and disney should go hand in hand.
i get emotional at times when retelling this story.

soon, soon, soon

Oh man! I saw you updated and thought you wrote an update and got all excited. PLease....end the suspense. I can't leave work until you do.

I know I keep saying soon, but you might not want to stay all night at work. soon for me could men an hour or more. I have no concept of time.

I just waled in the door from being at the splash park with the kids all day and I made a b-line to the laptop! I skipped everyone else's posts once I saw 3 pages had been added and ready only yours, then I went back and ready everyone else's.

I can't wait for hubby to get home, have some dinner and then you will be our after dinner entertainment! This story is something else! I love it!

Oh, the groceries and organizing them come from many years of rushing with the kids everywhere, it will be something you will do when and if you need to. I wasn't always like that and like I said in the beginning I was bad at it and it would end up with a pack of cheese under boxes or something, you only do that once or twice before you fidure out a better system.

Trucker makes me so annoyed already, I can't imagine what happens!!!

I had a visual of that. feet still wet from the water parks, you sliding across the floor like tom Cruise in risky business.

I really love that you and your husband are so into this together. It is so sweet.

I am coming out of lurkdom....and just have to say that I love your writing style. You have a real talent. Books are my life. I am a librarian and spend 50% of my time inside a library it seems. Your writing style reminds me of some of my favorite novelists which include Adriana Trigiani, Deborah Smith, Jane Green, Joshilyn Jackson, Cathy Lamb.....

Now I am in suspense waiting to hear what happened between Rig and his brother!

You are the second person to mention Adriana Trigiani. I have to read her. Writing comes easily to me because I just say what I am thinking.

 

[Kimbeachy]

Wow... I have read several trip reports and never felt the need to comment on one. You have a gift for story telling. I love your story and can't wait to hear more. It sounds like you and Rig have a beautiful relationship and I wish only happiness in your future. My husband also insists on always carrying our bag while at Disney.... I guess he feels it is his duty. Keep the story coming - I can't wait for more!

No offense to the OP, but I don't believe this Trip Report for one minute. I think the whole thing is made up. Sounds far too sappy.....

 

[RigLee]

I have spent the last week making light of a situation that was very heavy. I took rig and I a long time to get over the feeling of being tramatized.

We are doing fine now. But before I post about the arrest I need to ask Rig how much detail he is comfortable with me giving. I will post about our dinner at Planet Hollywood real soon, and once Rig gets home I will talk to him. I want to be respectful of his feelings in this only because he wants to read this when it is finished. If me posting every detail is going to be upsetting to him then I just can't do that to him.

I know you all will be so understanding, and I will still tell of the arrest, I would never build you up to it and then change my mind. Just right now I am questioning the amount of detail I should add.

To some sappy is romantic, and that is what it is to me. I really don't care if it is true or not (though I believe it is) because it is like a great book, purely enjoyable!

I am totally in love with this story!

 

[DisneyCruiser83]

O.M.Goodness! I just found your trip report this morning, and have read it off and on all day. I even took my iPhone into the store and read it while I did the marketing. I can't believe I got to the end and you are right at the arrest. I can't handle the suspense, I am going to fall down dead. Please come back soon!

I'm a librarian too! I would definitely put a RigLee book in my library.

Thank you so much. I can't not imagine my life any different. Rig and I have such a wonderful thing going, I am proud to share it.
Yay, another husband who carries the bag.

I am not offended at all. I am not asking you to believe my story, it doesn't matter to me if anybody believes my story. I know what I have with Rig, I know how he treats me. Maybe to some people it is sappy, take it or leave it.

 

[Jen0504]

OMG the anticipation is killing me!!

yeah, but the adventures of Rig, the cowboy with a heart of gold, are far more fun than looking at pictures of half eaten food!

That's too bad, sometimes after a lot of ups and downs in a person's life, they come accross someone real special, and sometimes it is sappy. I am so happy for Lee that she found her Rig and they have that special sappy kind of relationship!! Maybe one day you will find yours and be able to write a trip report that draws us all in like this one!!

Lee You relish weaving all the little details into your story much as a master craftsman weaves silk into a priceless tapestry. We love this about you and for your fans your story is priceless. You seem a little rushed, slow down. Relax and enjoy from your heart what you write don’t worry about how fast you write it.

P.S . Sappy?? NO I BELIEVE…I BELIEVE Love, laugh, tickle your wife every day and enjoy life. They don’t call me Tickledog for nothing.

Umm what's not to believe??! That there is true love in this world.

The first time you rode Splash Mountain were the other 4 people in your log all wearing Splash Mountain T Shirts? Did the woman keep your camera dry in her bright orange back pack?

You have written a wonderful trip report. In some ways I don't want you to post pictures so that I can imagine in my head what you look like.

Post what you are comfortable with. You are in no way committed to writing what happened unless you feel comfortable. Or post a simple version "Rig and Truck got in a fight and were arrested." Do what is best for you and Rig

Somehow I missed this post, not sure how. Really take your time and do what is right, for both of you. While we are all interested you owe us nothing, your marriage and happiness is what is important.
