The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 20

[Glynis]

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Looks like Julia was having a good time in the 1st picture

Ok! I finally got my pictures uploaded and here are some shots of our dinner at WCC!

Our waitress, Candy Cane, started a straw war with the family behind us, and Julia thought that was the best thing ever. When things would calm down, Ellen's boys would get things stirred up again. Julia loved it! Of course, my SIL and I didn't help matters, either. We were having too much fun throwing straws around!

Maybe no one has noticed, but my dh is already obsessed.

Lucky! But I may get Alan there, yet!!!

As we were driving to WL, Alan mentioned how beautiful it was and how perfect for camping. I mentioned that there was a wonderful place called Fort Wilderness that my DDA friends just raved about. He was very interested in that! Who knows, we may get to camp there, yet!

Marie Osmond Dolls is currently on QVC. Guess what the current doll is? Baby Donny!!!!! He was even a cutie when he was a baby. Chuck would shoot me if I bought a $149 doll! Luckily, I'm not a doll collector!

my cousin bought me a $180 (thats with shipping included) in germany at epcot for graduation. i think ill get one of the disney ones next time

You really wanna here my ideas?? Pull up a chair!
Church, reception site, band chosen. Colors - mocha/chocolate/ivory/green apple/platinium/wine/rusty orange...
To give you ideas on bridesmaid dresses (and colors) www.jordanfashions.com we have #232 (color and dress, so far her favorite) #226 (mocha color and dress) #918 (dress and color) #629 (dress) #341 (dress)
As for favors, I'm planning on giving away jars of apple butter. (I worked at an apple farm all during high school.) I figured I could double up on the name tag attached to the jar - one side thanking for coming, the other side telling them where they are sitting.
Centerpieces....fake pumpkins covered in glitter (thanks to Martha Stewart.com); small bushel baskets of apples and leaves; brushed dark metal lanterns with tealights, frosted hurricanes with tea lights, vases with tall curly dried twigs (there straight and then curl a little at the top)
Flowers - I love roses, gerbia daisies, copper calla lillies, small mums, berries...
My problem is too many ideas. That and trying to give touches of fall without going ALL fall.

I think it all sounds gorgeous! A fall wedding can be so beautiful!

This made me tear up, I am so happy & proud of you Glynis! Thank you for sharing, I felt like I was there with you.

Ok, here's part 2 of my marathon trip report.

It was amazing to see the finish line stretching out ahead of me, and hear the crowd cheering! Scott was waiting for me, cheering loudly, and as I crossed the finish line, I broke into tears! I had done it!!! I didn't think I really would do it, but I did!!! I felt so good!!! Scott just held me for a minute and let me cry!

It's so funny! The whole time we were there, he kept saying, "Next time we come, we're bringing the kids." He even mentioned doing a trip with 5 days in the parks and then a cruise. I couldn't believe it!!!! So, I'm doing some preliminary research to get some numbers that he can work with.

He loved Epcot so very much! I can't wait to tell you all about our day there! it was more than I hoped for!

I'm so glad he loved it! And it is great that he is talking about another trip someday. I can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip. By the way, can you point me to part 1 of your trip report?

I'm not sure where the first part is. I think I posted it on Thursday. Does anyone know how to find it?

Glynis, that is just such a great story. I am definitely sorry I didn't participate, but I am so proud of you, and you are such a motivation to me to try even harder.

You are so sweet! I definitely recommend this to anyone! It was a totally amazing experience. It ranks up there with marriage and the birth of my children. Quite a life defining experience.

OK thanks, I was able to find it based on the date, I think it was page 6271 if anyone else missed it.

Well, I have my other leg surgery scheduled for March 8th, and then after a few weeks of recovery I plan to start training again. I don't want to commit to anything, since I committed too early for the 1/2 and then couldn't do it, but if I get trained, I still want to try to do it someday. I wonder how early the Disneyland 1/2 fills up? I've never been there....

I think you have 20+ wedding planners right here. Do you want to run ideas by us or would you prefer we throw them out at you?

Deb

Glyins, I love the photos! Your trip report is awesome. I really want to get myself in shape to do a 1/2 marathon someday, and your report makes me want to do it even more. I think I'll print it out and use it for motivation!

Hi everyone.
I have been busy busy lately.
Have been doing a few things around the house.
Why is it I always have a project.
Crazy it's kind of a hobby with me.

So how have ya all been?
I'm way back on page 6180.
So I'm going to skim over & read maybe the last 20 pages.
My eyes get blurry trying to catch up all @ once.
