I'm curious about this "pillowcase dress"? I've never heard of that before!

The girls had 3 had different ones that they wore to WDW last year. Here is a pic of Ally in her Ariel pillowcase dress:

Welcome back, Becky!

You've certainly had a busy month! Congrats on finding the house! I hope yours sells just as quickly. Wow--about Brent getting out of the airport just in time!

I looked at your house pictures on Facebook--it's beautiful!

We'll be in WDW before we know it!

Thanks!! Yes we have!! I know--3 weeks from today!! Whoo hoo!!

Hi Becky!!

Hope you're having a good start to your weekend!

The house looks just gorgeous - are you starting to get settled in and everything?

Take care! Only a few weeks and you will be in Disney!!

Hi Katie!! Well it's been kind of crazy here with tornadoes and flooding but we're making it! Thank you! Yes, we are getting settled!! Oh--and we got your package this past week! I'll post pics here soon. I uploaded 2 from my phone to FB and tagged you in them!! Thanks again!! The girls were soooo excited and LOVED their goodies!!

Hey--I had to pop in and say that I absolutely love the idea of the hearth room/kitchen. A friend of mine has that setup and her family uses it all the time!

Of course, I have something like that in the fact that I have an open floor plan. . .but the house is beautiful!

Can you believe it? This morning I got up and realized. . .WE GO TO DISNEY THIS MONTH!

Hi Amanda!!! Yes, we spend most of our time in the hearth room!! I know!! Sooo excited!! 3 weeks for us!! Whoo hoo!!!

 

[ladybugmom]

I hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend!! We're having horrible storms/tornadoes and flooding here! It's kind of crazy but we've managed to stay safe and dry!

I just had to post that WE'RE GOING TO WDW THIS MONTH!! Whoo hoo!! Only 3 more weeks!

WOOHOO only 3 weeks!! And let me say OOOOOHHHHHH to the pillowcase dresses. Those are cute! I guess I never heard of them being called that before. Cute! Can't wait to see a pic of the new ones.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for three weeks until Disney! It will be here before you know it! At least, I hope it will since in three weeks we will be finished with school!

I saw your FB posts yesterday about the weather and sirens! Glad you all stayed safe!!! I think the bad weather is headed our way today, and I just hate tornadoes!

 

[creativeamanda]

3 weeks for you and as you leave, I'll be getting there!

Be careful with all of the weather. I've seen it was getting bad and I've thought about all of my dis buddies, wondering how they were.

 

[Brave teacher]

I'm doing the 3 week dance right next to you right now!

I'm glad yall are okay after all of that horrible weather yesterday.

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

I was wondering if you were in the middle of those storms. Thank goodness you all are ok. How do the girls handle it when that happens? Praying for you all. So excited that you only have 3 weeks left!!

BTW - I know you are so busy right now, but I wanted you to know that I started a new DL TR report from our Thanksgiving trip. The link is in my signature. Hopefully you will get a chance to stop by!

I know!! I can't believe it!! Yes, we are safe but there's a lot of flooding around here. A lot of my friends have lost their homes.

3 weeks for you and as you leave, I'll be getting there!

We are fine--thank goodness!! Just lots of flooding here now.

Yes, it has been insane the past 2 days. Tornado warning after tornado warning and now massive flooding! The girls handle it pretty well.

Thanks for the link! I will definitely check out your TR!!

WOW!! What a night!! We've had tornado warning after tornado warning here and I think it's finally calming down. But now we are left with a lot of flooding. Our neighborhood is fine--thankfully our house is the highest point in the neighborhood. But the highway going through our town is completely underwater! Please pray for Ally's teacher, Mrs. Higdon! Her house flooded yesterday and is completely ruined downstairs. You couldn't even get to her house yesterday morning until the water receded unless you had a boat. Local firemen came to help. No flood insurance. Please pray for their family! And the Navy base nearby is also completely underwater with lots of families losing their homes/possessions.

Oh--we did sign-up for Weather Call last night where you get a phone call whenever there is a tornado/thunderstorm warning. We were awoken several times last night and did not sleep through the sirens--it's a great thing!!

I'm just very thankful that God protected our family and neighborhood!! He is so good!

Nashville is still getting pounded. 12-15 inches so far was the last I heard. It is still beating my roof in. Flooding all over, but so far, we're good. No school tomorrow for several counties here.

 

[Charlefours]

So glad your family and house is safe and sound! So scary--I saw the radars. praying for all those who were impacted by the storm, including Ally's teacher.

 

[mom2mek]

Becky, so glad to hear you and your home are safe! How scary! Tornadoes are one of my biggest fears - so unpredictable! Sending lots of prayers for Ally's teacher!

Sara

 

[wdwgirl03]

Ugh, so sorry to hear about the storms but glad your family is OK.

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

How terrible for Ally's teacher! I will definitely be thinking about her and her family, as well as the other people in your town dealing with the floods. It flooded here in Atlanta back in September I believe, and it was and it was such a disaster. Thankfully the majority of the flooding wasn't around my area of town and my neighborhood was spared, but it was so scary watching what water can do. I'm so glad to hear you all didn't have any damage, though! I sure hope you've seen the worst of the weather and clear skies are ahead.

 

[creativeamanda]

Wow--I am so sorry about Ally's teacher--I will keep her in my prayers. Thank the Lord your house is fine.

Thank you, Sara!! I have NEVER gotten used to tornadoes--that's for sure!! I appreciate your prayers for Ally's teacher!!

I know!! My heart just breaks for her and everyone else affected by the flooding. The sun is finally shining here so I'm hoping things dry up here quickly!

Thank you!! I appreciate your prayers!!

Oh Becky, I know somewhat how you feel, last month we had terrible flooding here, (Mass/Rhode Island) No tornado warnings, as we do not get them here. I do know several people who lost so much . Some their homes were under water (ranch style homes.) We have been here (a cape style house) 4 years this past September and never had any water....UNTIL this storm (and we live on top of a hill) we had a puddle downstairs in the finished basement, wiped up with a towel but none the less we had some water. Under the front porch there was a small ditch that my husband filled in so hopefully that will take care of water in the future, but the damage poeple had was horrible. I will say a prayer for Ally's teacher, It is sad when you work so hard and then to loose so much. Thankfully you and your family are safe. The tornados warnings must be so frightening!
