Where did 2010 go?? All the gifts are wrapped, Santa's cookies are made, and you can feel the excitement in the air. One of my Christmas gifts was the ability to book our 2011 Disney vacation. The orginal idea was leave on the 23rd of December, but once it came time to book, those dates were no longer available. So we'll be leaving the day before my and Ayden's birthday on December 17th and returning on December 27th. Birthday and Christmas in Disney is completely awesome for ME! lol We are booked at Fort Wilderness and now we need is our travel trailer. We'll be making that purchase after we pay off my ring, current camper, and couch. Then we'll be debt-free again (not including house and cars). Jesse's profit sharing check come in January and after our tax returns will be making the purchase, maybe earlier if Jesse can get a good deal. What sucks, right now they are offering 2500.00 off the model we want, but we can't do it right now.
This is a larger travel trailer that we were looking at when we owned the Pilot. Since it couldn't tow the smaller model we had to buy a new tow vehicle. Now with the Suburban, we can tow this monster!
December 18th was mine and Ayden's birthday. Ayden had his party on the 11th, so Jesse and I tried to go out to dinner. Tried because Carabba's had a 50 minute wait, so we decided to try another place. Once on our way I started feeling sick to my stomach and wasn't hungry any more. So we went to Costco which had closed shortly before we got there, I called my girlfriend to see where Sandy was doing henna. So we went to the coffee shop and I got henna on my hand. I took some Excedrine and had a latte and started feeling better. By the time we were done chatting with Sandy and Courtenay it was 9:30, we headed towards home and picked up some taco's and ate them at home. It was fun though.
On the 17th my Mom called me to let me know they were giving Dad a few days to live and his health is going down hill fast. He was having seizures and/or a stroke on the 11th which further impaired his left side and is now bed ridden. He was seeing people in his room that weren't there and isn't eating. He was taking to a hospice home this afternoon and we don't expect him to recover. Another reason why booking Disney for next Christmas was important, after this Christmas, I want the kids to have a fun Christmas. I haven't told Ayden how bad Grandpa is yet, I think he'll take it really hard. The girls know it's really bad.
So that's about it for now. Jesse's Mom is already giving me attitude about being in Disney for our birthday and Christmas next year. I told her after the rollercoaster of this Christmas, we'll need to get away.
If I don't post again until after Christmas, Merry Christmas!!!
Sorry for typo's, I'm tired.
