Our 2nd Anniversary Disneymoon - Aug. 30 to Sept. 6! *We're home! 9/7*

[DisneymoonJess07]

Wow Jess, just read thru your report! Seems to be like you got yourself a pretty awesome trip planned. Oh, and the hat adorable!!!

Thank you! Way to go for reading all of that too - wow!

Hi Jess!! Back from my trip and just catching up on your updates! Very cute hat! Your trip is almost here!!

What a cute hat!!! It looks great on you! And Raif's looks like it'll be perfect for him. I can't believe you're getting SOOOO close! You'll be there before you know it. Does it just seem crazy--you've waited so long and now it's finally here!

I can't believe how close it is! (And I'm actually kind of useless at work because of it!)

That is an adorable hat! I'm jealous! I need a new Disney hat, but I'm NOT ordering off of the Disney Store online again. Not because I had a problem with them...I've just done it enough already and I'm not paying shipping again. I'll have to find something there.

12 days!!! HOLY MOLY!!! I'll just say it again 12 DAYS!!!

We're at 30 days today. So LESS than a month (I like saying that too). I can't believe you have LESS than two weeks. So cool!

11 days!!!

Yeah I my hat.

Also, I got an email about reduced rate on Disney personalization - so now would be the time if you want something special like my hat. Wish I had known about it before I ordered my hat - but it's okay.

Our water bottles came yesterday - they are just the right size and shape, but I think we should take them on a test run. Maybe over the weekend or something - wash them out and fill them up with stuff and drink it on a walk or something. See how it goes.

Also, tomorrow - I can do online check-in! How crazy is that??!? It doesn't feel like it should be that close already! But it really, really is!

Okay, I really, really should be working (haha.)

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

I can't believe you're leaving in 6 days!! Woohoo!! Those days will go by so quickly!

 

[hhockman]

Wow. 6 days! That's just craziness. I think we're at 24. Still way too far away. It sounds like you have a lot to do this week to keep you busy. Sunday will be here before you know it!

 

[disneygirlinnj]

wow 6 days is exciting!! I'm at 33

Well, my haircut looks cute (I haven't washed it yet to try to style it myself, but she did a good job), and I did the Garden Grocer order. I also did a couple other things that I wanted to get done before we leave for Disney, but aren't really related to Disney - i.e. finish my scrapbook swap layout, finally figuring out where to put the journaling!

Anyway, it's great to be so close, but it totally feels unreal!!!

 

[stacikristine]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I can't believe you are going to be in Disney World in 5 days!!!!!

That is so, so exciting!!!

Great to-do list! I am so excited for you!

Well, the blue stuff got done. Things got a little sidetracked by some computer trouble at home, but we seem to be on our way to a solution, I didn't lose any data and everything is working, so that's a plus. Just a lot of lost time.

Also, our building manager's last day is - get this - August 30. We found out yesterday. So that whole plan of her picking up our mail? Might fall through. I guess we can get the post office to hold it, but we were expecting this to be really easy! Oh well - you win some and lose some! It's also sad because she was really nice and we had just gotten to know her. We've had a good run with building managers though, so I'm not so worried about our new one. Just more worried that it will take them a while to get us one!

Aside from that, desperately trying to stay focused at work and failing MISERABLY!

Sorry about the computer problems. That's always so frustrating. Glad you're getting it taken care of though.

As for the mail, it is very simple to have them hold it. Just go online to the USPS website and follow the links to hold your mail. It doesn't take any time at all.

Thanks for teh tip about doing it online - if the new girl (or guy) doesn't start right away (I'll find that out today or tomorrow) then I will definitely go to it!

I can't wait for our trip!!! It's only the details now!

We're doing laundry tonight, and I think I'm going to get Raif to take the suitcases down so we can just pack the laundry that we are taking into the suitcases. I think that makes sense to me, rather than putting stuff away jsut to pack it on Thursday!

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Wow Jess!! You've gotten A LOT accomplished since I've been gone!! I'm all caught up now...finally!

I love the hat and all the shirts. Nice choices on all the designs. You guys are going to look great!

Can you believe you are leaving so soon! I remember when you started this PTR! YAY!!

Your lists look great...it will be a busy couple of days for you. I'm so excited for you and Raif. Can't wait to hear more of your plans and count down to your sendoff!

 

[haleofafamily]

Did I see somewhere in your report that you used the Disney font for making shirts? If so, where did you find it and how did you download it? If not, then ignore this and get back to packing!

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

We used Disney font for our Disney booklet (that I'm actually about to print here at work sshhhh), and I found it by doing a search, but when I needed to redownloaded it, I just searched for Waltograph and Waltograph IU and came up with it. They are really nice Disney fonts. One is good for titles, the other for general writing. They are great!

I love the Disney font!

We did laundry last night, but not too much else. My friend Erin came over for dinner and that totally destroyed all productivity. We have a lot to do tonight, so I'm hoping that everything can get done. HOLY COW! It's is incredibly close now, and I'm not sure I still believe it. The rest of today, tomorrow, Saturday - and then we leave in the morning on Sunday!!!

I have all kinds of butterflies! (I am SUCH A NERD!)

Hopping over from my PTR and have to go back and read yours from the start

You are almost there

 

[hhockman]

THREE DAYS!!! (I just had to say it here too!)

I can't believe you only have three days. Well, two really now. I just went back a couple pages because I wasn't sure where I left off and I saw that you had 20 days. And now I have 20 days. So maybe mine will go fast too.

I just have to say it again...

THREE DAYS!!!

Hope you're ready!

 

[stacikristine]

AAAHHH!! Two days!!!

TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

We packed last night - it was so crazy. It was really sort of boring at certain points and also sort of scary, since I was worried about forgetting things. We still have quite a bit that needs to be packed, but Saturday night we will finish that up.

We're taking our birds to the people who are sitting for them (shout out to Becka and Melissa!) at around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, then getting all of our stuff together ready to go - cleaning around the house - and then sleeping (or not) and then downstairs at 5:30 for the car service to Midway!

AAAHHH!! Two days!!!

 

[hhockman]

You are going to DISNEY WORLD

TOMORROW!!!

I'm so jealous.

Have a great trip! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back (then it will almost be my turn)!
