Morning Peeps!!!

 

[reelmom]

Jordan, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

Wendy....that is the oddest looking duck! It looks like a duck got confused and mated with a turkey.


I love the picture of Ashlyn laughing! It makes me want another baby. As for the teenage years...I'm experiencing it now and it was fine untill Bailie told me last night that she has a boyfriend.
It is kinda funny because she's almost 14 but we won't let her date untill 16 being the mean parents we are.

Say it ain't so! I would be getting the blackmail pictures ready.

 

[winkers]

Maybe she'll get it out of her system now and then decide she doesn't like boys for a while.

Good Luck with that!

 

[jordanyosh]

What an honour to him that is how he is remembered. Take care.

He was not a showy man--very softspoken..but truly a man of integrity.

that picture of Ashlynn should cement her place in future Uncle Jordan's trips aroun WDW

that's so true

Jordan,
That is SO FANTASTIC about the BWV!!!!!!!!!!! You truly do have a wonderful cousin, and friend!

I'm totally looking forward to the cage match over BLT. Wendy, please take pictures.

Jordan, don't worry about catching up - you are doing eternal work, you'll catch up at some point, until then, just do what you can!

I'm sooo looking forward to the BWV....it's been 6 years since I've stayed there. I'm gonna love sitting on the Boardwalk late at night and enjoying the view.

News about the winner of the cage match coming soon...

I've been able to do a bit of catching up tonight.......but I have a full day tomorrow and a full week....I've worked something like 14 days in a row....

 

[cjackearl]

BWV?! Yippeee!! We gazed at the Boardwalk from the BC, but never made it over there. It looks like tons 'o fun.

So sorry about the church member passing. It sounds like he's leaving behind a wonderful legacy.

Wendy, oh my heck, you're children are beyond adorable!

And when/if this ever ends, you'll probably be sleeping for a week straight!

 

[englishrose47]

Take it easy Jordan !! You have me beat for working long hours If I hadn't taken 2 days last week I think I would have been 26 straight !!!!

I love the Boardwalk. Something about it...it's beyond explanation. I could sit on the Boardwalk all night...

And when/if this ever ends, you'll probably be sleeping for a week straight!

I usually get sick for a week....hope that doesn't happen.

AACKKK! Jordan! Take that back, right now!!

Haven't you ever heard of a self-fufilling prophesy?

Quick, do some positive affirmations.....

"I will remain healthy."

"I will remain strong."

"I will DIS a little each day"

(Whoops, that kind of slipped in there somehow!)

Chapter 15. Just random stuff...

So Trip Related Stuff first......

Oh what could've been
Since my aunt and uncle are not coming with us in February it came down to either Kim and Allan or my friends and me for the extra bedroom at BLT...it was to be a cage match between Kim and me. However, Wendy decided it would be better if Kim stayed with them, releasing the single guys from being mobbed by 3 rambunctious kids....Oh what could've been.....

Dates are set
I'm staying Saturday, February 6th-Thursday, February 18th. 8 days at Pop, the last 4 at BWV(hopefully).

DDP or not
I am fairly sure we'll do the Dining Plan. For me it's less about the cost effectiveness and more about paying upfront for your food. The trip has a more all inclusiveness feel when you are not continually whipping out cash/credit cards for every meal. Now it's between doing the Quick Service Plan or the regular DDP...any thoughts?

Backstage Magic or not
If you search the depths of your memory, I had tried to book the Backstage Magic Tour in 2008, but it was full every day I was there.I am contemplating trying again, but if I do, it takes up pretty much one whole day that I'm solo. I'd kinda like a bit more flexibility. We'll see..anyone done the tour?

Spa or not
I haven't had a massage at WDW since my masseuse decided that rubbing my behind was part of her routine. I'd like to get one again, but have no experience going to one of the full service spas. Wendy's been to Mandara Spa at the Dolphin. Anyone been to any of the other 2 main ones? I like deep tissue.

I guess that's all the questions I have for now....

Here are some random pics from the last month.

My friends from China are home for 6 weeks. My friend, Jason, hung out in SoCal for a week. He and a few other friends went to San Diego for a day.
Here they are waiting in line to eat at Phil's BBQ:

My friend, Grace, and I at Old Town Mexican Cafe. I added some of my own ingredients to the meal.

I think I've mentioned a few times that I'm one of the directors for High School at our church camp. We had a Cabin Leader/Core Staff meeting at our church a few weeks ago. Here's me letting everyone know what I thought about the teambuilding exercise we just did:

This past week I worked over 70 hours. Here I am at the end of the week:

My brain was leaking it's contents:

On Sunday, we had our church picnic. I was in charge of the program portion. Here's what one lady thought of the program:

However, I know Wendy will provide us with LOTS of photos of BLT! Just remember, Jordan, you get four wonderful days at BWV!

We love the dining plan for that very reason -- not having to figure out a food budget and having everything pre-paid. We haven't done the QS, but we do like having a sit-down meal every day.

Backstage Magic or not

Nope, but I am dying to do so!

I hate team-building exercises!

This will be me a week from Friday at our first faculty meeting of the school year. Yick!

This past week I worked over 70 hours. Here I am at the end of the week:

The little kid in the background looks a tad concerned that you might have just died or something!

No cage match? Doh! All well, the ref called the fight.

As you might remember we are doing the QSDP, which actually can quite easily work out to be a really good deal. I'll let you know how it goes. So far it sounds like it will work out really well-we also have a TiW card for our 2 sit downs.

 

[cjackearl]

Great pictures, Jordan. I especially liked the brain leaking one.

My only piece of information is kind of spa related. If you're not interested in having your toes or fingernails painted (What? You never know.) you might want to check out the WL health club. I read in another TR how happy the woman was with her deep tissue massage there. I don't know if the prices are at all different from one of the spas, but it might be worth checking out.

Have fun with your peeps while they're here.
