[Mrsdisneyb2b]

I'm not really sure what a DOC is (being in UK?) but im guessing a cordinator to help you?

its so good either way with what you won!! i need to go to some bridal shows!!

Its a day of coordinator! and she already seems so awesome. GO to the shows. I think if you think positive you get positive in return...sooo strange!!!

Congrats on winning I always loved going to bridal shows and having the chance to enter into all the contests. So, exactly what all does it include?

The Doc includes her from the second I am getting dressed to when I leave that night with my Hubby!!!

When I was 5, We went to the zoo and there was a penguin thing. Since the penguins couldn't climb there was just like, these wooden sticks as barriers...

Well, I saw a baby penguin alone and wanted to help it find its mom...And so i did. I still have visions of all the people in kakhi suits running into the penguin den tellimg me to put the penguin down..

I've been obsessed since. My classroom is filled with penguins by the way, the kids are always buying them for me. I'll have to take a pic for you guys to laugh at me!!!!

Heres something to make you laugh
My computer desk here at work

My buddy

And our reading center

 

[tiggersam00]

he was hidden in the "more" tab (that I had never seen until today btw)!

Now he would get the party started lol!

Your a penguin addict like me! Too funny, I still have some of my X-mas stuff out b/c I figured penguins are wintery not just christmasy... Although my 6 foot inflatable penguin DF's dad got me for the front yard is currently buried under a foot and a half of snow, with another foot coming tonight... oh well, maybe he'll pop up int the spring again

haha i have never seen real snow in my life! whenever it 'snow' (i say sprinkles' in England, its the end of the world, and everyone and everything patheticly comes to a halt because of a sprinkling of snow!! The most snow i have seen is probably 2cm!!

Jen- what age kids do you teach?

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

I guess it's a good thing that cry packs consist of tissues. Because the cardstock I am using for them... IS KILLING my fingers to bend!

I've currently only made 30, and placed the tissue inside. Nothing major... Just a simple fold...

Now, when I go home comes the hard part. Trying to figure out how on earth to decorate the darn things!!!!!

Seashells? Our monogram? A snapple cap? "For your tears of Joy" etc...

What do you girls suggest..I'll post a picture here...

And heres my wonderful Classroom computer and the Disboards

I teach Grade 4...theyre 9 years old...

If you want to see what they are working on(what's giving me so much time here) you can go to
www.region7blogs.com/communities/dowd

And I think you will have to come to NY one day when it's snowing because trust me, it's terrible

 

[tiggersam00]

I vote snapple caps! What if you peeled labels off snapple bottles and did stuff with those too? You could do a little decopage type thing?

You have to add those snapple caps anywhere you can, start saving them now lol!

lmao

We probably have around 100 now!
its so awesome, my friends have been saving them too!

I think for the reception, I am going to use a bottle of Out of the Blueberry tea, and then add a wire to hold the table number... I have this and I was considering using it for the table numbers, adding the "Table One" To the side

 

[malibustacey]

aw, i remember having a young teacher when i was about 8 or 9- she was the best teacher i have ever had, i adored her, everyone did. She was so kind and understanding! hehe!! It will be so cool when those kids grow up and they remember you like i remember my old teacher!!

I definately need to go somewhere in USA to see some REAL snow!! hehe!!

Love the ideas of using them snapple caps in your wedding. I remember drinking that drink for the first time last year, i brought some back in my suitcase (along with about 30 bottles of diet pepsi with wild cherry!! i love!!) hehe!!

Me too! My 4th grade teacher, Ms.Barnabus... I actually was inviting her to my wedding. The week I sent her a letter...I found out she had a anurism and passed away. It was like two days before df and I were going to disney. I was an absolute mess...she meant the WORLD to me, I swore I would do everything like she did because she was so amazing...

She actually figured out that I was dyslexic not LAzy like most teachers thought... Claiming i didnt want to "read the directions" although I literally COULDNT read them... Would cook cookies once a week for the class... Just, was an amazing person...

And how odd is this ?The first day we went to Downtown Disney... and I said I wanted a carrot cake cookie.... mrs.Selma Barnabus used to make carrot cake and pumpkin...and LOW AND BEHOLD... The cookies name was SELMA. So, now, every time I go there, I get the selma. Because I truly believe that was her way of saying "I know...and I'm here"

Okay so enough mushy stuff...

I just finished working out. I gained a pound and a half since Friday and I can
t figure out HOW. It makes me very angry because, well, I am a very healthy person. In the past I was close to 200 lbs after the death of my grandfather (Thank you Starbucks Frappuchinos at 2,000 caloires a shot) and then, I LOST it all.

This left me with much loose skin. I know how to hide it well but daily I have to see it. So, I want to lose at least 10 more by the wedding which I do not think should be THAT terrible. Although lately it seems like it will be a major challenge...

Anyone else having any issues with the LAST ten? I was 8 lbs away on Friday and today... nope...

First and foremost, I just wanted to tell you Congratulations!! Your proposal story is one of the cutest I have ever heard Since I just found your PJ I have a lot to comment on...hope you don't mind

Is anyone else having registry issues? I know I am and it's driving me nuts. DF and I really have mostly everything we need. We put things on the registry that we would love to have but wouldn't buy ourselves (which I thought was the purpose of it?)
Well there were a few comments made that "We have expensive taste"

We are also planning on doing the disney registry and I am worried that then people will think we are being greedy or something of that nature.

I went through the exact same thing. My Husband and I had lived together for a couple of years before getting married so we didn't NEED anything. We did the exact same thing as you and registered for a bunch of stuff we would love, but couldn't justify buying...I also that was the point. Well, unfortunately we got several hateful comments also. At first it really hurt my feelings so we added a bunch of "cheap" stuff, but then we were told how greedy we were to ask for so many things. In the end, we took back off the "cheap" stuff and realized people will always complain.

As far as the Disney Registry goes, we did it (along with two store registries) and of course some people made awful comments. But several people enjoyed buying from it. When we sent out thank you cards we included a picture of us doing whatever activity they bought for us (for example a picture of us parasailing) with that particular persons thank you card. I wanted them to see the memory they created for us

Wearing His Heart​

Now, many may have thought I was INSANE but, I wore that ring FOR A YEAR! It was a promise and like I had said, I didn't care what it was as long as he made the promise thats what that ring represented...

Well, when he proposed, the plastic ring had broken months before... and he said "Jen you're the love of my life, you are my heart will you marry me"

And so I am "wearing his heart" every day.

Ok, first that is hilarious about the promise "ring" I so would have done the same thing And the "wearing his heart" is so sweet and made me all teary eyed to read.

Here Comes The Theme...​

And my monogram...which i worked way too hard on only to hear "I dont know about the starfish"--meanie family members

I LOVE your monogram and I am so sorry that people are being so mean about all your wedding stuff.

Yesterday I received my "Place" cards from Vista print for the guests. They read:

If you've been taking pictures
from this morning through tonight
we'd love for you to share them
Just upload them to our sight!

And then we have a snapfish account set up that the guests can log into and upload their digital pictures. Another bride I know did this and I thought it was such a cute idea. She got some adorable pictures too!

That is such a fantastic idea...I wish I would have thought of something like that..I am a picture fanatic...I rarely go anywhere without my camera

Honeymoon...Check.​

So, after pulling many strings....our favorite person was able to get us the HONEYMOON SUITE in WILDERNESS LOUNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How exciting is that?

Way to go on the honeymoon suite That is awesome that your prayers were answered. We also honeymooned there and it was fantastic. The WL is so romantic and the hot tub is AMAZING!!!! The rest of the room is basically normal but I didn't care the hot tub totally made up for it

Attention....attention....The bride will be wearing non-traditional shoes. Attention...attention.... this is an emergency

Oh lordy. Now, I know that df comes from a very very traditional catholic family. BUT MY SHOES? Will walking down the aisle in pink shoes really cause me to go to hell?

Weddings truly bring out the "best" in people dont they?

Oh my goodness, what is wrong with people I went through the same thing because I wore silver shoes for my wedding. They weren't even shiny metallic silver just a light silver with a pretty rhinestone design on the front. I say wear your pink shoes proud (and make sure to show them off at the reception !!! At least you will be able to wear them again after the wedding. That's why I didn't get white shoes anyway, because I had no clue when I could use them again and I thought it was a waste of money!

Did Someone say CHEESE?​

Wow, I am blushing!! Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL long comment. I am glad someone enjoys it. I promised myself I would be MYSELF on here and not care what anyone said so I am glad that people on THIS sit appreciate it! I've been on other sites in the past who judge my love for Disney and that drives me mad!

Thank you on the engagement photo's. My mom really ourdid herself and I am planning on using those as the place card holder's now!

I hope I am just as entertaining in the future! This is the one place I have felt happy to be planning!!!

Jen- we all appriciate you on here! And your right, people all jusge us disney freaks... well on here we are all disney freaks loL!

And we're proud of it! Wear those mouse ears girl!

You totally should use them as placecard holders, I bet your mom will love it too !

Oh and that last 10... its tough but doable... And if you did gain 2 lbs, dont stress it's natural and sometimes people fluctuate with water, or cycles (I wont get into that here but you know what I mean ) Also, muscle weighs more then fat, when I was dancing professionally I was a size 2-4 (I'm 5'2) but weighed 137! That was 3 lbs away from being considered "obese"... now I don't know about you but I havent seen many size 2-4 girls who are "obese". If you have increased your workouts you may notice a slight plateau because you are building muscle mass (which is good). If you want to drop the last 10 I would say switch your routine... if you run, try to bike, if you lift try a new circut.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR DIET AND BECOME CRASH DIET BRIDEZILLA BARBIE! It will come off, the last 10 is always the toughest, but you are determinded so you can do it

malibustacey: I definately need to go somewhere in USA to see some REAL snow!! hehe!!

Stacey, you are more then welcome here anytime, trust me we have plenty of it right now! I will have a shovel, gloves and hot chocolate ready for you! I'll send you some pics tomorrow of the 8 more inches we are suppose to get so you can see what we will be shoveling !
