**********************************

Okay guys, Trent got the call this afternoon, and they said


they

did

want

him! :cool1:


:


Great news for Trent, I know it must be a relief. I can see more Disney visits in your future.
Prayers are with you both.
 
:sunny: CONGRATULATIONS TRENT! :sunny:

I hope this will be the start of a fabulous new chapter in his life!

MeMom & BrooklynnsMommy....you may get another trip soon, if he needs help moving down there....;)
 
Congratulations to Trent!:cool1:

Prayers for you MeMom.:grouphug: I know you are proud of him but I know that you are going to miss him.
 

Fantastic news for Trent... at least he is moving some place you love to visit!
 
:woohoo::woohoo: Yay for Trent getting the job!
:hug: I am sorry he will be moving away at least now you have more reasons to go to Florida and WDW :thumbsup2

I am sorry he is moving so far away. I knew he would be moving away, but I didn't think it would be any further than Atlanta or so. We will be creative in our getting together. It will be a big change for both of us, and for the rest of the family, and for his friends.



Shame on Trent, making you wait! This is Jamie :cheer2:, so is this :lovestruc It was a long wait, but I'm glad it turned out the way he wanted it to!

I think it did. I think he's in a state of shock right now as he thinks about everything he needs to do to get ready.



CONGRATS TRENT!


(Okay I have tried and tried to quote right but just can't figure it out completely. We will just have to deal with my special way of doing it until I get it right)

Ask wigd for quoting advice. She's the Queen of Quoting! :rotfl: She has a 'special way', too!
Luv ya, wigd!



I'm an hour away from Memphis let me know if you want to have a mini Dis meet.

We'll plan on one for that weekend, then. We could meet at whatever mall has the Disney Store. You guys will have to tell us where to go.



Congratulations to Trent! :woohoo: That is awesome news!

It is. He has the potential to make so much more money now. :)



MeMom, if you need to go down and help him get moved in I know someone that will be down there over Spring Break.....


I've thought about that. I don't think there will be much to settle at first. He's already got a place to stay, and Jarvis will be taking some of his stuff later on. I was thinking we might try that meet in the middle thing in April or May and see how that works out. That way it wouldn't be so long to wait before we saw him again on our summer trip.



Congrats to Trent on getting the job. Any idea of when he needs to get down there and when you'll be going?

They said as soon as he got all of his stuff taken care of up here, they were ready for him. He has clients to get covered here. I won't be able to make a trip until summer. I would feel bad going without Jill during spring break, because I know she wants to go, too. We'll try out meeting in the Panhandle somewhere maybe close to Mother's Day. It's just a thought. This is just new today, so we'll have to make plans.



Great news for Trent, I know it must be a relief. I can see more Disney visits in your future.
Prayers are with you both.

Thanks for the prayers. They are appreciated by all of us. I hope we will be able to go four times a year now, for sure.

I don't think he'll be taking much at first. His bed isn't good enough to take anywhere. he'll just get another one when he gets some money. He's got a TV, but it's huge, so he'll need to sell it and get one down there or have it hauled. Other than that, he's got a futon and a couple of dressers, but I don't know if he wants any of that, really.

I hope this will be the start of a great new chapter in his life. He very much deserves anything good he gets.



Congrats to Trent! What great news for him.

Thanks. I told him all the DIS people were congratulating him. :goodvibes



Congratulations to Trent!:cool1:

Prayers for you MeMom.:grouphug: I know you are proud of him but I know that you are going to miss him.

I've already been crying, but I waited until he left for the gym. I am trying to just stay happy and positive. He knows I'll miss him like crazy, and I will bawl like a baby when he leaves, but this is what we prepare our kids for, making lives of their own. We'll work out the logistics of traveling and getting used to seeing each other less frequently, and we'll all be okay. The first year Jill was at college and I didn't have my first baby at home on her birthday, I cried. I am lucky that Jill is only a couple of hours away, and I would rather it have been the same for Trent, but I don't choose their paths for them. I have raised them to be competent individuals who can stand on their own without Mommy right beside them. They know I will always be here for them if they need me. I will be their biggest cheerleader in anything they pursue. They don't have to live with me or beside me to be in my heart and thoughts every single day. I'm guessing I will see Trent fewer times a year for longer periods, and I will see Jill more times for shorter periods. Jill and I can just about do every other to every third weekend for a day or a weekend. With Trent, it will be maybe once every few months, but we'll stay for 4-5 days, and then even more on the summer trips. He and Jamie can show us around Orlando when we are there for trips.

This so true...and sad and happy all in the same. I hope I am as good as you to be okay when my kids move away. I am blessed that my parents moved here after I had Hannah... I could not imagine how I could work and do everything without my mom. Hugs and love to you as you adjust!
 
Congrats to Trent!:woohoo:

Thanks. Keep those woo-hoos going and hope for him to have great success down there.



Fantastic news for Trent... at least he is moving some place you love to visit!

This is so true. I think we'll be a lot more apt to see the rest of Orlando now. And it could be possible to make the four trips a year. I was thinking:
-fly into MCO and catch ME to Pop for a night
-stay in a free place a couple of nights
-back to Pop for another night so that we could be picked up and be taken back by ME

Without someone having to haul us to the airport and interrupt their own schedule, that might be a good plan. Just something I thought might work. We'd only pay for a room for half the stay, we'd have transportation to the airport both ways... we'll see. We'll have to think it through as time goes on.
 
Jarvis will be taking some of his stuff later on.

I would think a Hummer could accomodate 2 adult women and 2 small children pretty well :goodvibes You'll have a place to stay and AP's. As for Trent's stuff, well that's what trailers are made for.

I can tell how much Trent loves his family (2 little rats especially) and friends there and he is going to miss you all terribly! I'm sure it will be very bittersweet for him as well as you! Thank goodness for cell phones and computers! What an exciting time for him (and Jamie)!
 
Aw, of course they said yes to Trent! He's such a great guy. :)

I know it will be super hard with him there, but you'll have all of us DIS friends to talk to about it. :hug: I know we're not the same as Trent, but we can try and make you feel better! :)
 
That's fantastic news for Trent!:cool1:
Hugs to you MeMom, Jill, and the rest of the family as you deal with him moving. I imagine the girls will miss him very much!:hug:
 
Congrats to Trent!!!!

:hug: to you MeMom! When we moved here to Cincy, my parents were much like you are. Happy and upbeat when they talked to us, cried when we weren't around. They were used to having us (and the grandkids) less than 10 minutes away so they saw the kids 5-6 days a week. While they miss us incredibly, they do enjoy being here for 4-5 days and really being a part of our lives.
 
I love it that you are already planning how to work out the ME and Pop stays.... You are going to be alright MeMom!:goodvibes

The next couple of weeks are going to be busy getting Trent ready to go! Stay strong!!
 
I just got teary eyed remembering when I moved away from home.

I was newly married and my Dad had just passed a few weeks before.
I was moving to another country 20+ hrs away from my DMom. Heartbreaking!

It must have been so hard for my DMom.
I can't imagine how sad she must have been, even though she never let me know it.

I had the biggest long distance bills for the first while...;)

You are one terrific mom for giving your support and letting your son persue his own path. It will all work out just fine! :hug:

I can only wish to be as supportive as you, when it's my turn.

I just hope my son gives me his forwarding address......:laughing:

Lexi's life is all planned out for her....she is moving to Orlando and working at Disney....having a Disney wedding and we will all live Happily Ever After....oh yeah I forgot I will win the lottery too!!! :rotfl:
 
Well congratulations to him and :hug: to you. I know you are happy for him. I am a little fuzzy on the details though. I am a type "A" personality, so I have to have the details right! :laughing: I understood that he was moving to Florida, but then when I read your replies, it sounded like he was moving to Orlando??? Is that right? If so, that is a very nice bonus to all of this. :cool1: And how in the world did he find a job in Orlando when you all live in TN? Sorry for all the questions, but I think I've missed something somewhere and I don't like being confused! :lmao: I really hope Trent is happy and I hope all this works out for good for your whole family!
 
Congrats to Trent! :dance3:

We know you'll be sad when he leaves but know you have all of your DIS friends to lean on for support :hug:
