Arin, that dress is beautiful!

I'm so proud of you! I love the dress. I looked at one like it too but ended up going purple instead. It is definitely not too dressy, it's perfect!
Nicely done

LOVE the dress. I wish I would wear strapless but the girls won't hold it on!

Thanks for the compliments girls. You all better dress up too, so I don't look out of place

DD/10: This one keeps me busy. She is starting her 6th year of competitive cheerleading in June. In addition to cheer, which is extremely time and $$$ consuming, she plays volleyball in the Spring & the Fall. Basically, she is the reason for my 2nd profession as a chauffer. Favorite Disney Character: Tink, and she has the attitude to match

Hi I am an avid reader here on the DISboards and I saw that your daughter was a competitive cheerleader. So is my daughter! We live in Michigan and she is on a level 2 team at Elite Cheer Michigan. What gym dose your daughter attend?[/QUOTE]

Madison is on a level 2 team at Champion Cheer Athletics in Salem, Oregon. She is a base and absolutely loves it. She has her back-hand spring and is now working on whatever it is that comes next.

This year we will probably be traveling to Vancouver B.C. for a competition, so we are excited for that.

Couple of things.............I FINALLY received my Cruise Docs today Although, they were sent to my old address that we moved from 9 months ago! Luckily, the new owners called me and we were able to pick the envelope up from them

Next, I was able to finish and PACK all of my approx. 125 F/E giftbags into 1 rolling duffle bag. YES......I said ONE bag.....coughMOZARTcough.... and just in case there are still non-believers out there, here is proof:

I even weighed it to make sure it is under the weight limit

I am sooo ready to be on the ship and to finally pass these gifts out, and to receive a few myself in our F/E

Next up on my list of To Do's: Door Magnets, dress shirt & tie for DH, and much more.

Wow!

I am *terrified* my FE gifts will not arrive in time.
I was supposed to have them by today.
I emailed the company and so far no response (it is a holiday weekend so I'll give them till about.....8 am Tues)
I was having nightmares about it last night.
But then I figured if they don't come, it's OK...Arin will bring enough for all of us!

 

[zweihund]

Yay, it fits!

 

[Magic3forme]

Awesome Arin, now you have a whole suitcase to fill up with goodies from your trip.

You did it just to prove a point to Mozart huh LOL GOOD JOB GIRL! Im trying to do the same thing LOL

Now, I don't know that all of your FE's are really in there, do I? I mean, you could just be saying that they are when really half of them are sitting over on the side.

I finally saw the dress (I can't see all these pics when I check from work) and it's wonderful! I will be just as dressed up, so don't worry about looking out of place! I was worried about the same thing, but now at least I know I won't be the only one.

You've just got to trust me

Good, I can't wait to see everyone all dressed up. I feel like I am going to prom again

I have been playing around with door magnets today and here are a few that I came up with, not sure which ones I will actually use though. A lot of the pictures were "borrowed" from the door magnet thread:

 

[Magic3forme]

very cute ! I love the Tink and the drink of the day.

Dh helped me make a sign today, almost fell out of my chair.

Wow, I showed my DH the ones that I made and he just said "Why?"

He will appreciate it more once we are on the ship and it makes it easier to find our room

Love the TINK Sign!

I am still unsure about how we will get to the port the morning of the cruise. I know that there is a shuttle from Ron Jon for an additional charge but I have also read that there is a limo/cab company that will pick you up in a limo from your C.C. hotel and take you to the port for $15, so we may end up getting our “limo fix” that way…………….is that like a 2 minute limo ride?

Arin - great thread!! I can't believe all the planning you have done so far!

I know you were able to go back to plan A for the limo, but did you ever find out the name of the limo/taxi company that offers rides from the hotel to the terminal?

Thanks,
Trav

I found the info about a year ago on the "Helpful information for you" Thread. I just checked the thread again and I don't see it there anymore I believe the company is called Checker Cab of Brevard County and it was like $15 for a limo from any Cocoa Beach hotel to P.C.
You could probably P.M. Shirley and ask her.

So, not much of an update but here goes:

I have my DD and DS's suitcases completely packed, zipped up and ready to go, along with the F/E suitcase.

I will be printing out my Door Magnets sometime next week. Could the magnetic paper be any more expensive?

Our cruise of Double Dippers have decided to make One Hit Wonder Night at the "club", unofficially 80's Night! So this week I purchased T-shirts for DH and I to wear:

My first choice for me was Punky Brewster, but they were all sold out

I still need to buy my camcorder and that's about it

 

[anewmac]

wow the kids are all packed... wow... mine are still wearing some of the clothes I will be taking for them LOL YOU ARE AWESOME CHICKA!!!!!
