Thanks again all for the wonderful birthday wishes. I appreciate them ALL.

It's been a great day. Now we're putting the finishing touches on our suitcases, as we have but 1 more sleep before flying to Houston, then a sleep there, and on the bus to Galveston. The MAGIC begins Saturday morning close to noon!

I will have a photo update after we return over in my blog, so you'll have to catch it there. For those that don't know where to find that, it's stophersstuff dot com

See y'all soon.

I am most interested. I have booked the Magic out of Galveston for next May. Can you post a link to your blog?
 
Happy Birthday Stopher!! :cake:


Groupies - If I may ask a few prayers for DH would be appreciated. Approx 1 month ago we learned he had stage 2 prostate cancer. Surgery was today and we're waiting to hear if there was any spread of the cancer to surrounding tissue.

Fingers crossed and praying for good news for you all today!
 
Hey Happydinks - so nice to see you! Any plans to be in the World in early December? Would so love to see you again.

OK December Groupies - how does Sunday evening December 9th TOWL after 8 PM sound?
Hey Di & Dad-
Yes it's been quite awhile since our last thread visit - but we're back for now. We're actually visiting this month - cruising on the Dream and then 10 days in the parks. Unfortunately, Bob's business only allows us a late November/early December visit every once in awhile. Maybe when he can retire (if that will ever happen!;) we'll be able to do that more often. I still have shots of our Groupie meet back in 2010 that pop up on our screen saver - and smile whenever Stan's picture comes up! We would love to get together again sometime!
 

Winging prayers heavenward for you Kathy and your DH. May Gods peace calm your heart as your await test results. :group hug:


Eliza, I hold you close to my heart in prayer today too. We care.

:) Thanks. I'm looking forward to it, and looking forward to talking about it afterwards. Re-read what I wrote. All of the necessary address info is there, just not linked. Start off by throwing the requisite triple w dot in front, and you'll see it. stophersstuff is where you want to go. And then the typical ending domain type, dot com. Sorry to be cryptic, but I don't want warnings or points. Already had a warning before as the DIS is owned/operated by a travel business, of which I am as well, and rules are rules, so I won't go there specifically any longer. Those who know where I am follow or subscribe, those who don't I have to rely on others to spread it, or searches to find me. One of the primary reasons I'm barely on here any longer, as talking about what I do just flows out naturally, and it's hard to put a clamp on it. So it's easier just to stay away and pop in from time to time.

Got it! Still looking for the blog but I " liked" you and left a message!
 
I'd call Member Services in the morning to confirm, and if it is true, ask if they could link them. Seems as though congrats might be in order! :thumbsup2

Alas, shortly after I posted my inquiry last evening, I received an email from member services confirming the wait list came through. So I must have checked in as things were happening in real time. I received another email this morning showing that the reservations are linked - again without any input from me. Kudos to member services.

I'm glad that you got in! That's great news!

We're still waiting on a last minute trip to AKV during Jersey Week for my son and myself. I've been on the wait list for only a few days though so I'm just being patient now. If we get in, it will be a welcome rest to a full week of working at my Mom's house in Lakeland. She's been asking us to come and help with everything from transporting pictures from NC to FL for her to painting her walls and "cleaning" her back yard. That last bit scares me the most since my sister, who recently moved out from that house, had two pit bulls die in that back yard due to snake bites. If that doesn't deserve a Disney day, I don't know WHAT does!

You got it Kathy. You and your husband will be in my prayers.
 
As always - Groupies are the best! Thanks all for the support. :grouphug:

And - we have good news!!! At least as good as one could hope for out of all of this. DH had a 2 inch tumor in his prostate so the Dr. decided to remove 48 lymph nodes. Out of those only one came back with cancer in it. The Dr. says that of course a cancer cell could have escaped so he's going to recommend hormone therapy for the next couple of years but overall he is feeling that odds are they were able to get it all. :goodvibes

Kathy,
We will just pray that one did not escape and the doctor's odds are true.
Best of luck to you both in the days ahead.

Thank you Kathy, for letting us know. He is still in our prayers, but as JT said, they are just being re-directed.:flower3:
 
Kathy...so great to hear your news! Prayers, crossed fingers and more Moose Dust coming your way that things proceed as well as possible. :thumbsup2

Jimmy...thinking about you last night during that Cardinals-Braves game. I'm glad that the Cardinals won, but wish it wasn't due to the errors by the Braves and the umpires. :( Chipper Jones is such a class act and he deserved a better finish to his great career.


77 days until we are back in The World at our beloved VWL. I haven't had a day off since I started my current job in March, so I am really looking forward to some down time at VWL and WDW. We know how crazy the crowds will be, and are looking forward to just being together as a family.
