I went out on the web and looked up blogs of people I knew and I'm like "dang--no one has update but Christina". Then I was sitting here thinking "when was the last time I updated?". The answer "TOO long"! So here we are--an update!After all my guests left I was feeling down in the dumps. Since Don and I have 3 day passes to Disney World and he had a day off...he decided to take me to Epcot to have a day of people watching. That is about my favorite pass time! So we went and saw all the changes Epcot has made since we were last here (about 6 years ago). It was a beautiful day...Sunny but cool. We took some funny pictures of us with monkey bodies...and with funky lips...and just had a good day. I will enclose a slide show to show the day.Right now I'm working against the clock to get ready for Evie's move. Since she has decided to move here I haven't done too much...but talk about getting things done. Well--she bought me a one way ticket to Utah to come help her finish packing and have a HUGE yard sale. And then help drive a Uhal from Utah to Florida. But there is one problem...we are NOT ready on this end. I leave here May 9th so that Evie doesn't have to spend Mother's Day by herself...it's the first since her mom passed away. I have had to repack all the boxes that are sitting in her room--since we are still living out of boxes most of the time. So--I have started our hurricane kit and repack boxes. Don will take them to a storage unit the first part of June. So that her room is some what emptied out once we make the trip back. Don laughs at me...I work so well under pressure. I have spent 3 days getting ready and I think it's about half way done. Knowing that there is only 2 weeks for me to get everything done and myself packed makes me work harder and faster. I can get a lot of things done if I have to! Don is scheduled to take his state board test on Thursday...He will even know if he passed and what he got that day. Much better then Indiana's tests! So he is studying for that test. His boss (Mary) and I both are worried about his test...he hasn't really been studying until lately. But then again he usually crams the night before and passes so I'm hoping with a weeks study he might get a really good grade...but really all he needs is a 75%. The funeral home is down to 2 embalmers so he works 5 to 6 days a week. But I think Mary might be redoing their schedules so that they don't have to work so much...not that we are minding the extra $$. Well I'll let you know about his test when I know! But that's all the news I have right now. But when I go on this trip I'll take pictures so that I'll do posts when I get back! Have a great week and enjoy my pictures!
Hey everyone--I'm collecting coke rewards codes...so if you drink coke products and aren't using your codes--Please send me the official 15 digit code. Don and I have decided since we drink so much we might as well collect them. So email me if you have unwanted coke codes! Thanks!HAPPY EASTER!!!
As our last day together--we decided to just hang out. Don played for hours in the pool with the kids. Kelly and I got to sit and chat...and Danny just took it easy! I'm so very glad that they got to come and visit, but time when by so fast. After spending the afternoon with them we had to say our good byes. The Zehrings left early Friday morning. I hate saying good byes...it makes me cry! I've been very sad today because I know I won't see them for a while and I'm back to square one. Don't get me wrong but I now feel all alone again. Don is a great sport and holds my hand and tries to make it all better. I'm happy that he like my friend and her family enough to spend so much time with them this week. It has been great just spending time with them...and great seeing things through the kids eyes. I hope they enjoyed their trip!
I have included ALOT of pictures from our last day--which is ALL pool/bay side. I hope you enjoy them! Have a wonderful weekend and a very HAPPY EASTER!
Yesterday our day started out EARLY. We were on the road by 5:15AM. We headed out for Orlando to the happiest place on earth! The kids were so excited! We hit almost all the rides that everyone wanted to do. We had to skip some because of the hot day and long, long lines. But we hit the important ones (IE: The Tiki Room, Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World, Splash Mountain, Tea Cups). But our funniest story comes from Kelly and Don at "It's a Small World". We had been in line (for awhile) and all the sudden there was a horrid smell. Kelly went off on whatever child just S***T themselves their parents need to change them. I was laughing so hard when I saw a HUGE smile on Don's face and had to point to Don for farting. It was so HORRID, and all I could do is laugh my butt off! I think everyone had a good time, but by 6:30pm we all had are fill of the "Happiest Place on Earth". There were SOOOO many people. (Being Easter weekend and us not thinking anything about it.) And there were TONS of Hoosiers for Elkhart...their band played in the PRE-Disney Parade. I still can't believe how many RUDE people come to Disney (besides myself). Enjoy our pictures from Disney. Today Don and I are heading to the Hotel to spend time with the Zehrings for they will be leaving tomorrow! But I'll try to get some more pictures for you to enjoy.
With Don working during the day the Zehring family spends time on the beach and in the pool. So when Don gets off is when all the fun happens! Yesterday the Zehrings did decide that they can spend time with just me. I'm not a real good host so here is how it went. Danny walked (by himself), and then slept. The kids watched TV while Kelly and I worked on the computer. Then the kids, Kelly, and myself played a couple card games. Then when Don was on his way home we cooked dinner. After dinner and everything was cleaned up a little we all went putt putt golfing. We played the boys against the girls...the boys won...how said is that! After that the kids with the help of the guys fed the Alligators while Kelly and I took pictures. Today we got Don to get off work at noon so we could drive to the zoo. I think we all had fun. The kids cracked me up! Then we drove all the way back and had dinner at Sonny's (bar-b-q). Then we went our to our "homes" for we have big plans for tomorrow! We are going to Disney World-The Magic Kingdom. Enjoy the pictures from yesterday and today. More to come soon! 
Here are some photos Kelly took while at the beach! Enjoy them more to come I promise!
The Zehring family finally made it here! They got in later then we were hoping but they got here! We went to IHop last night for a quick bite to eat. Today they spent a lot of time in the water! Their hotel is right on Clearwater Beach...they are so dang lucky! They have the beach and if they want more safe environment they have the hotel's pool and hot tub just off the beach! They came by today and picked me up (since Don worked) and we did lunch and then we went to Walmart. Aleesha came and hung out with me for a little while until I had to pick up Don. Then we headed back to Clearwater Beach to meet up with Kelly and family. Don was brave and swam with the kids (which they LOVED). I got to just sit back and chat with Kelly. As you can tell Danny missed all the camera shots...But I promise to get some pictures of him too! Just a for warning for all those who know Danny---he is cleanly shaved (which I have NEVER seen). Kelly says he did it yesterday morning right before they left. I think everyone is having fun...but the fun is wearing out the kids and Don. Tomorrow we are thinking about going putt putt golfing...which will be fun with all three kids! Keep checking back because I will be having updates this week! Enjoy today's pictures.
