The black n white picture is my favorite!!!!
Thanks!

I'm so excited to do another photoshoot!
After that I say there's no reason for feeling guilty about the YC. What a nightmare that must have been!! You certainly deserve some luxury
At the time, it was terrifying... it was the first fire I've ever been in, and I had nightmares for weeks. Even now, when my alarm goes off in the morning, I sometimes jump out of bed and head for the door thinking it's the smoke alarm.

There were a number of students who ended up in the hospital, but luckily I woke up early and got out before I inhaled too much smoke. Everything was handled really well, though, and now I have the university to thank for our May trip!
Oh my goodness, today was crazy though! We are in the process of listing our old house (we moved over a year ago but rented the house to family) and today I had to drive out to our old town and we packed and surveyed and made lists of things to be fixed... But it's going to be a great feeling to finally have the house sold!! I was going to stop by at my grandparent's house because my grandpa is sick (had a heart attack recently and is now at home recovering from an infection on antibiotics) but the house situation took so long I ended up not having time. Then I got home and a doctor's appointment I was supposed to have later was rescheduled for Monday... but I'm working Monday with the kids. So I either have to cancel and rebook the appointment, which will be another month or so (which I really don't want to wait) OR I can call into the hospital on Monday and tell them I can't work, meaning I'll get written up for a missed shift. My supervisor isn't in tomorrow because it's Sunday... and my doctor also doesn't work Sundays. Aghh!!! And FINALLY, I got an email from my university saying they STILL haven't received a transcript they need which means I'll have to send for (and pay for) it again... and cross my fingers it makes the deadline for scholarship consideration.
Annnyyywaaays, I am thrilled that some of the May hours are up! Because the parades and fireworks schedules aren't all the way up though, I still don't know whether to go ahead and make some ADRs knowing I can cancel them, or wait. I'll wait until at least tomorrow, anyway. That means tonight I'll have to figure out what the last ADR will be!
I've decided 100% we're going to do the photo shoot again. I called my mom and she's in, so I've just got to figure out which day we can figure it in. Last trip we did it on the last day, which was kind of nice, so we might do that again. And I think we're going to go ahead and do it at the YC/BC.
One thing I am glad to know though, is that on our first night MK has EMH and will be open till midnight!! That will be a nice start to our vacation.
I wish I had more interesting updates to give, but I can't think of anything else that really needs to be done right now. Other than CANCELING OUR CRT ADR AND BOOKING THE ME which I STILL have not done yet.
Well, in order to leave this mini-update on a happy note, here's a fun picture of DM and I in the little shop at RRC. This is what happens when we vacation together.
