Thank you!! I know it had been hot- I've been checking the weather daily and I love it! I love the Florida summer heat! Some people hate it, but not me!

Thank you! I am very happy with finally graduating.. looking for a job is a pain but exciting too. I got the tank at Kohls.com!

Well Hello!! and Welcome! I'm glad that came by! I don't have too many posts, so it shouldn't take you to long! hehe Either way, by the time you catch up, I will just be returning and you will be there.. and then when you return- I'll hopefully have TR posts started!

But I do believe I am going to try and meet up with Kristen on my last day... I think it was then. So maybe we will meet- if not- I won't be there for your send-off- So Have a GREAT time!!

I'm VERRYY excited for CRT! It might be my most excited for this trip! But then again everything is soo exciting because my parents will be there and its their first time!

 

[TinksThree]

I have been so busy getting ready for my own trip that I have gotten way behind in reading PTRs/TRs!! The time has arrived!!! Are you as excited as I am?!?!?!?!?!!?

Congrats on graduation and those bows are adorable!!!!!! Also, love the lollipop minnie Mouse tank!!! That is way too cute!!!

And, I am so getting a Strawberry Shortcake at Sunshine Seasons!!!!

 

[JenAusty]

Hello Everyone!

I officially have 1 more long day tomorrow and then Friday I'm outta here!! We will leave home around 5:30am, and will be at the airport by 6am. And will arrive in WDW around 9:30am.. ok arrive in Orlando at 9:30am.. our resort by about 10am or soo.

Today I woke up early- had a pedicure- found some of my mickey nail art stick-ons- and put 2 mickey heads on each of my big toes! (My mom copied and did the same) Later tonight, my mom is going to give me a manicure and paint my nails.. and possibly some nail art. It depends on how much time she needs to pack and shop because she works late tomorrow night and won't have time to do much Thursday night.

I also had a hair appt. at 10am. and I love it. I took a picture but its hard to see the highlights on the top for some reason- it just looks blonde on top, dark on bottom- which its sorta like that but more highlights throughout then it shows. It might just be my stinky phone camera.

Now I just need to finish packing.. and try to make it through the rest of today and tomorrow without going CRAZYYY!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

I followed you over here from our PTR & I am flippin' excited that you'll be there SO SOON!!!

That Minnie tank is adorable! How does it fit?

 

[tinkgurl]

Wow! Your hair and toes look so cute!!! Hope you have a blast!!!

 

[Cat0727]

Ahhh so excited for you! I love how you have the early flight to WDW! It's great getting there bright and early

Hello and Welcome!! I ordered the tank from Kohls.com. I ordered a small because I usually wear sm/med and it looked like it would really long. It's a juniors small and it fit great and after I washed and dried it- it fits even better. I got lucky because ordering clothes online is soo hard for me. I ordered other Disney shirts a while back and some of the Ladies Sm's were bigger than Juniors Med.. it was weird. Luckily- all of them fit.

Wow! Your hair and toes look so cute!!! Hope you have a blast!!!

Thank you Tink! I am going to post my nails today.. and I will have no problem having a good time!!

Ahhh so excited for you! I love how you have the early flight to WDW! It's great getting there bright and early

I also love having early flights to Disney or anywhere on vaca because it adds a day to your trip and it doesn't cost extra to arrive early! The only issue I have is ear problems when we are landing.. some times it worse than others.. and when if I land with ear pain then I don't care where I'm at- I want to sleep off the pain. The last time we went there with a non-stop flight they weren't bad at all. and I'm been taking all precautions to avoid it. Hopefully, I'll get some sleep tonight!

Hola Everyone!!

I leave tomorrow morning!!!!!!

Today has been a heck of a day already.

I managed to make myself sleep til 8:30, which is late for me right now because I'm too excited to sleep right now.. but I didn't want today to last forever since I'm home all alone today until like 6ish when DH gets home.

As of right now, I'm finishing the last load of laundry I need to pack, and I've packed everything up except or my outfit for tomorrow and some of my bathroom essentials.

I have some sad news though, My mom called me this morning and said that my Gma called and said she couldn't come visit us tomorrow in DTD because she might be admitted to the hospital.I mention in an earlier post that my Gma has been having a lot of health problems in terms of breathing- and they have done a lot of tests on her but nothing is coming back bad. She has been using an oxygen tank for about 2 weeks now and gets out of breath easily. We had rescheduled to have her come on the first day we arrive and visit us during DTD, so it wouldn't be so crazy, she wouldn't have to pay and waste money because she can't do any of the rides, and this way we could casually walk around or in a wheelchair. Well, I guess she had a stress test the other day and before that she was feeling better but after the test she said he heart rate kept going up and now her breathing is getting worse. She said she can't walk from one room to another without getting out of breath. I guess she was crying because she was upset she couldn't visit us and had to cancel twice, and she felt bad. I eventually called my Gma and told her that it wasn't the end of the world, that there would be another time in the future, and that her health is way more important. She has an appt. at 1pm today and then said she would call if they admit her to hospital. They think she might have to have open heart surgery. I'm really worried. I hope she is okay and that it's nothing major. So please keep my Gma in your thoughts.. I might not be able to post again and update about her.. but I'll let you know when I return from Disney.

On a good note, I went through the disboard posting of all of the snack credit ideas to remind myself of yummy treats I can get with snack credit. I made a list that I am going to take with me. I have been listening to Disney music on pandora.com all day, and tonight DH and I have a date with the Disney travel DVD before we go to bed!

As promised, here is a picture of my nails and the nail art.
The mickey and Wall-e are stick on's. My mom just added black palm trees to one nail and splash of yellow on my pointers. Again, sorry for the quality- my phone camera stinks.

Wall-e is kind of hard to see because of the pink nail polish.. but I still wanted to add him.

 

[Moira222]

Jen Have a BLAST! I know that you are in the air getting close to landing in Orlando
what a good idea to watch the travel video the night before - great way to remind your self of things in it!

I will keep you GMA in my thoughts and look forward to an update. HAVE FUN!

 

[klacey1]

Jen, I'm sorry you won't be about to see your Grandma. I hope everything turns out alright for her.
I LOVE the Mickey/Wall-E stick ons! Have a fabulous trip-- can't wait to hear about it when you return!!

 

[xoktenox]

I missed your send off last night/this morning but I did write on your FB! I hope you're soaking up the sun right now and enjoying every minute. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!!!

I am all caught up and so excited for you!! I can't wait to see how your trip all turned out!! I get all excited just thinking that you are there NOW!! I hope you are having the time of your life and that you are experiencing tons and tons of magic!!

I'm actually getting there a day after Kristen, so I don't think our trips quite overlap. Although it'd be fun to be pleasantly surprised if they did!!

I can't wait to read all about your trip!!! HAVE FUN!!

 

[TinksThree]

I hope you had a great trip!! I loved your nails! I had Mickey toes!! I have a pic to share of those too!

LOVE the hairbows! If you start selling them, let me know! I'm always on the lookout for new bows for my daughter!
