It's a good day!!!

Our travel agent goddess, as I like to call her, has been on vacation for a few weeks, so we have had our final payment for the trip in savings since like 2 days after she left... I have been dying to get it paid off... Well, she returned this morning and called me and we are PAID IN FULL!!! We are going to DISNEY WORLD!!!

I took the kids shopping yesterday for school supplies... I thought I might as well get it done early and not have to worry about it when everyone and their dog is in the school supply isle... So we are set... After Saturday school clothes shopping with my Mom at the beach, the kids should be totally ready for school...

for being PIF!!! for the 2 month mark!!!!

Oh, school supplies! That means I can get the 10 cent notebooks I need!

Have fun at the beach!!!!

Hey, could you PM me the name of your TA? Mine moved, and her replacement doesn't work on our behalf very well.

Congrats on the 2 months mark !!! Also congrats on paying off the trip, that always feels so good to get that done!!

WOOHOOOO on the 2 month mark AND PIF! I'm so jealous about the PIF part I haven't even started paying off my trip but it's because I'm trying to pay off my car payment first. I hate having my stupid car loan still hanging around.

As for the water parks, try doing the slides where you sit in the inner tubes or rafts first and see how you do. I'd think those would be less nervewracking. You don't 'plunge' into a pool at the end of the slide and you can just climb out of the raft/tube when you're at the end.

I will PM you now... I love her... She is bubbly and a Disney freak just like me... And she gets excited for you when you decide stuff... I call her my Travel Agent Goddess...

I totally feel like a weight has been lifted and it was nice to see that marked in red on my Vacation Budget in excel... I ordered the kids the gift cards they have earned by doing chores... They each got another $50.. That puts them up to $200 total now... They are ready to rock!

I hear ya on the car payments... I am working on having ours paid off 2 years early... I hate debt in general... My thought is, if I can't pay for it with cash then i don't need it that bad...

Thanks for the tip on the water parks... I am totally going to take your advice... You are right, it is the plunge at the end that I am terrified of...

Wooohooo for your low ticker and for being PIF!! School supply shopping is fun! I must admit that I enjoy it more now because we don't have to pay for it - our homeschooling credit card does!

You two are sooooooooooo organized - huge kudos to you!

 

[winkers]

Have fun in Seattle. It's a great place to visit!

what is the Mrs. going to be doing while you're gone?

 

[jordanyosh]

Have a great time!

Now I gotta go back and catch up.

She is going to be at home with the children... Not much fun, but at least she can relax without me around bugging the crap outta her ...

Have a great time!

Now I gotta go back and catch up.

Welcome back bud... Been a while since i have seen ya...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Okay, how pathetic am I??? DH has only been gone 4 hours and I am already missing him and bored out of my mind...

It wouldn't be so bad if I had some trip planning to do, but we are done... Last year we bought ridemax and I played with that for weeks... But we honestly didn't use it... Maybe I should order it again just to keep my sanity... It will give me something to do this weekend... And besides it couldn't hurt to be more organized right??

Somebody better give me something to do QUICK!!!

Toni ~ Thanks so much for the music!! I really appreciate it!

You can help me plan my trip if you like...I am nowhere near as organized as you!!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

No problem... Glad we could help!!

I am updating my binder and getting all the show times put in there.... That will keep me busy for while... Then I think I will watch some movies... Terry and my Dad were going to come home late Sunday night but now it looks like they will be home early afternoon!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Toni, I hope Terry has a great time! If you want to buy something to keep busy, I vote yes! I bought TGM for that reason - I was a little underwhelmed, so I bought a new passporter, just cuz. I didn't need it, but I loved that bright shiny new book with the pockets! How many times have you watched the planning DVD?

I have TGM, Passporter, The Unofficial Guide, and Birnbaum's Guide...

I have watched the planning DVD a bunch, and also our 2008 vacation movie... Terry made it when we got home last year... I think I will watch it in the morning...

My allergies are freaking out tonight, and I am hoping my medicine will get it in check by morning...

If I can just get through tomorrow then I should be fine, Saturday we are going to the beach, and Sunday he will be home... I am so pathetic!!!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Ugh! I am so ready for Daddy to be home!!! I DO NOT like sleeping alone and waking up with out that big lump next to me...

My Mom and I took the kids school clothes shopping yesterday instead of today... Now they are officially ready for school... Of course Tailor has ways of making her Daddy think she needs more outfits... And she likes to accessorize... So I am sure there will be more shopping to do... But for the most part we are done...

Terry is having a great time... he took about a thousand pictures yesterday... He has let me know I need to order him an extra charger for his Nikon batteries, and also a spare battery for the new camcorder...

John Force and his daughters are racing this weekend, I don't know if any of you watch NHRA, but the Force girls are hot... So I am sure he is enjoying the view...

I got my paid in full invoice from our TA yesterday so that was awesome!

And today we hit 59 days!!! Times just flies at this point... The kids are even getting excited to see the days getting down so low...

 

[jordanyosh]

Under 2 months!!!!!! Nice!

You want time to hurry up and for your trip to get here and then slow WAY down when the trip starts....too bad days on vacation couldn't be 36 hours long......

 

[oregondaddyof2]

I am back home now from the dragstrip... I will go threw the many photos and try to find a few to post... Stay tuned...
