Oh my goodness Shauna where did you get the ship photos?

Hello Julie! Did you see my post about the pictures of Joe Stepp?

We are going to get in Wednesday sometime to my moms...which is only about 15 minutes from the port (if that). I am trying to talk Mike into leaving earlier...he was going to head up when he got out of work (around 6pm) and so we wouldnt get there till late at night...but he has a ton of time that he CAN take off..and Im trying to talk him into at least taking off half a day so that we can get up there earlier...then we head to Disney Thursday to stay...thurs and fri...then back to moms early sat to drop our car off and have her take us to the port

This vacation will be well deserved for you as well as quite a few of us other cruisers I think that goes the same way as with us...just when we get used to having a break and a rest...things heat up last minute and we are suddenly full of a ton of things going on at once.

The quietest time for me...is during tax season when Mike is working late hours...because we dont have anything going on during that time (from Feb to April 15th) but thats when I usually plan a Disney week vacation for Chris and myself together...to pass some time for us But this time I will probably be fixing up some on the new place and getting things still settled in. Its also the time when Mikes grandparents come down from Michigan and spend with DMIL...so its all good

Tax season is always a hectic time for me trying to get my taxes done. I HATE TAXES!!!!!!!!!!!

My quietest time is usually the month of December. Things are always slow at the office. I actually close the office the week between Christmas and New Years and give the staff that time with their families.

What do you work in??? Just curious...Mike is the computer guy for the Accounting firm here...so he isnt doing taxes but he does have to stay on hand till everyone goes home to make sure that the computers dont crash or mess up Thankfully we send our taxes out for someone else to do

Yea...we only did the Wonder because it was our first cruise ever and Mike wasnt sure if we would like cruising or if we would get sick...so it was our testing the waters...He wanted to do the 3 day and I talked him into the 4 but if we would have done the research...we could have gotten by cheeper with a 7 day...cause we booked last minute (a month ahead of sail time) so after that...I told him that I want to do longer cruises the next times....he agreed because 4 days was not long enough Thats a GREAT idea about two 5 days...hmmmm...you given me great ideas I will have to bring that up to Mikey...Ive always wanted to do a back to back cruise and that would be a nice one!

If this rumor ends up being true and you guys decided to do it, maybe we can book it together. How fun would that be?

Hello Julie! Did you see my post about the pictures of Joe Stepp?

Yes , I did see the link that you had. I went on and looked and all. I really wonder if we are related. That would be neat. I dont know anyone still living in my moms family. They do look like they would be realated too. Thanks a ton.

 

[tazgirl1981]

That would be so much fun!! I think Mike would go for it...I think the best time to ask him is while we are the ship...maybe the day or so before we have to leave I think he would be fine though...it would be fun!!

Mom you still there????

If you come up on Wednesday, maybe we can have dinner or something. I'd love to meet Julie, and the rest of your family to. But, if you need, or want, to do the family thing without strangers tagging along, I understand that to.

Gail..I would LOVE to do dinner with you and Merkie!! Mom would you like that??? That would be fun! I will talk to Mike and I could give you my cell and such...Oh that would be so much fun!

I'm an attorney. But, I'm sure not a tax attorney. I have someone who does mine to.

Hi Cruising Buddies,
We fly to Orlando on the 7th for WDW and then the cruise! Yeah, can't wait! I'm so ready for a vacation. It's so close now and I still have a lot to do. Will start to pack tomorrow. We are finally working on pillow cases for Lauren and Hayden (I'm not artistic, my daughter is doing it for me, I just had to get all the supplies) and also the mat for a picture frame. They should be cute, hope they like them. Our group decided not to do tee shirts, but we hope to see you all at the port (wearing yours) anyway. You shouldn't be hard to find . I know that I've missed out on a lot of the chapters and want to thank all of you that contribute to the list that keeps me updated, thanks!!!
Looking forward to meeting you all soon, Mary

I thought he looked a lot like the picture you posted to. But, like I said he has a nephew, Clark Stepp, that is about 19 years old that looks even more like the picture. I keep trying to followup on it for you.

Sounds great! Discuss it with Mike and let me know.


Is it just my computer, or is this moving slowly tonight. When I try to post something it takes forever to turn over. Does that make sense.

 

[tazgirl1981]

Its the site...Mine was taking forever too...I was wondering the same thing I thought maybe the internet connection was acting up

 

[tazgirl1981]

Yea I will talk it over with Mike and let you all know
