Let's see where to begin..... I guess going by families would be best:
Lauter's: Garry is working hard, Makenzie has started 4 year old preschool and loves it, The Big Guy knows his numbers, colors, shapes, and some of the alphabet and is only 2 years. He still like to drink wine off the boat deck HAHAHA! And for me..... I am selling pampered chef (cooking and baking stuff) and the big news for us is we are expecting ANOTHER baby in January! We will also be going to Disney in Dec.
Denine and Jerry: Kaleigh will be 1 on Sept. 25th. She is a cutie! She has blue eyes and red hair! JErry still is working for the bank and Denine is still working every other weekend at a nursing home/skilled nursing facility. The will be going to Disney in Oct for the food and wine fest at Epcot! They will also be going to Disney in Dec.
Sandy and Ted: Stacey got married and is right now as we speak in Disney and on Sat. they will boarding the Magic!!! Heidi their other daughter got a Fed job and is doing well. Ted is working hard and so is Sandy she still watches Graci. We are trying to talk them into going to Disney in Dec too! The are closing their camper up after a wonderful camping season! They are still not sure whether or not to buy a new truck or not.
Lori and Ben: The kids are back in school amd doing well. Lori is working with Cody selling popcorn for cub scouts. Lori is a motorcycle momma! She did a three day motorcycle ride! She is our dare devil of the group! They will be going to Hawaii within the next few weeks for a family vacation.
Bonnie: She has met the love of her life..... his name is Glenn and he lives is Chicago. They met on the Dis boards and met in person last Dec. in Disney world. She got promoted at work and is doing a great job! She is a grandmother! SHe has a granddaughter named Olivia. She did try out for the Wheel of Fortune game show but her son was the only one who got called back for the show. She and Glenn will be going to Disney in Dec.
Jeanne: Has been woring hard and Dodger dog is still doing great! Her one daughter has moved out and is missed greatly. Jeanne does have a new roommate(a long time friend) who also has a cat that Dodger dog is "learning" to live with. They aren't the best of friends yet
! Jeanne will be going in Dec. to Disney!
Joyce: has been working hard and has been lurking from work. Unfornately she lost her father 2 weeks ago. We all feel for her lost. She will also be going to Disney in Dec.
Susan: Got a new addition to their family also. His name is Lord Stanley and is an adorable golden retriever. Turner has started school and is doing real well. They will going on the Magic in Nov. and will meet up with the rest of us cruisers in Disney when they return. Paul is keeping extremely busy as well as Susan with work.
Laurie the Lurker: Kristen started school and soccer. They are keeping busy with all the activities. Laurie has also had a lost in the faimly and we all have been there for her. It has been very difficult for her mother and sister, but they are going strong!
Krista: has jsut returned from the west coast. Dave's company has an office out there so she went with him I believe so did Clare. She just saw the play Mama Mia and LOVED it! She has the most WONDERFUL dinner parties too! I wish we lived closer to taste the yummy food!
Barb: Jaymee has left for college and I believe will be having an intern staying with them for awhile. They have been real busy with their guest arriving and Jaymee leaving. They still have one cheerleader left if I'm not mistaking.
Sally (Barb's mother) is getting ready to leave on a 17 day cruise with her son and his family. They will be flying back home form Florida. She been losing weight and doing great! (so has most of the rest of the board... weight lost is a biggy lately around here. Denine, Susan, Sandy, Garry, and Sally have been working real hard!)
Patti (barb's sister aka Patty): has been in our thoughts and prayers. He daughter Julie's son Dylan has been having a pretty rough time of it. Dylan will be getting an MRI done to see if he has a tumor on his brain. SHe has been a little occupied and hasn't posted for awhile, but she is still with us in spirit!
Diana: was MIA for awhile but since school has started back up again she has posted again. Her sister got married in NC and her father did get to walk her sister down the aisle. He has been fighting cancer and is doing well. (somedays better then others, but is hanging in there)
WELL, I THINK that is the basic run down from the OCT. 19th cruisers. I hope I didn't foget anything major or screw it up too much. I'll check in tomorrow and see if anyone else has anything else to add.
WELCOME BACK DARREN!
