This is a pic of Bub and Scott they sent me and I loved it! She thought that they looked bad in the picture, I guess it was a work party, but I think that they make a good couple. I also wanted to include them since they were not with us for the baptism. Bub had a ton of work and I guess she spent the weekend traveling for work and then this past week out of town. She has been really stressed with work and the house hold issues and the new baby. I am hoping that the trip to Disney will not be too stressful for her. I am hoping that we all have fun and chill out together and most of all that the kids have a great memorable time!
Faith got baptised on 01-16-10. She was very good about it all and it was really nice the way the priest let her be in charge of answering all the questions and taking responsibility for her own faith with was completely fine with me.
As most people know I am not all that pro-catholic at this time however I was ok with Faith getting baptised as long as I didn't have to be all that involved. Most people know what I mean about all of this since I have spouted often about my problems with the great bald one so I should not go into it all here. So it was exciting to have Faith baptised before going to Disney that way if the plane crashes or something then hopefully she will make it to heaven :) Or maybe it will help me get to heaven since it is all my fault she wasn't baptised prior to this date. Anyway she was very good and Becca said that she was holy at church and said all of the prayers so that is nice. Faith changed into her PJs when she got home so she wouldn't get some stain on the special dress.
I made my special Chocolate Torte which Faith totally loved and I whipped up some whipping cream and sweetened it with powdered sugar and vanilla and wrote on the top of the cakes. Everyone loved the cakes. Mary was eating it with her hands but Katie was being nice and polite and eating with her fork :)
Faith wore a special white satin dress that Becca had gotten her and it was very pretty. She also got a special silver cross with a diamond in it from Ruppelius Jewelers and it was just perfect for her.
Faith got to have Mads and Lexi spend the night so there are some awesome pics of the girls playing dress up.
Then they pulled out the bed of the couch and watched Escape to Witch Mountain before they went to sleep. Then in the morning they got my special waffles and Becca's special chocolate chip muffins.
So here we all are at the house, we are missing Bub and her family and Bec tonight. Mary went to Katie's house after school to get packed for the disney trip. Katie and Mary are here now getting Mary packed up and ready to go. Faith is pretty excited about the trip to Disney and didn't eat very much supper but I have her playing games on Mom's computer so that is giving her something to do with her time. Bec is at home waiting to meet us tomorrow in wichita at the airport at 8am so we can fly out to chicago and then we will have just a 30 min layover so we may have to run to the next plane - can you really imagine me running? Maybe for Disney!
Dad is taking care to check and double check all of the plans, he is so good with all of this stuff. He has been so patient to tell us all about not taking liquids unless it fits in a small zip top bag or just put liquids in the suitcases to get checked. The girls were freaking out about how many shirts and clothes they needed and what they would be able to fit into their luggage. We will have a washer and drier in the place that we are staying so there is no need for a ton of stuff...but try telling teenagers that! I have a huge rolling case and I think last I weighed it was 46# so I am sure my fat ass is not rolling it - maybe Mary will for me :) (No wonder I am a fat ass right?) Anyway, I packed the essentials, 2 jeans, 2 capris, 8 disney t shirts, 2 pairs of shoes, medications that someone may or may not need when we are there, coffee, filters, creamer in the little circular containters that don't have to be refrigerated, then a ton of snacks! The fat ass carries the food as well! But I just can't see spending $4 for a cup of coffee when you know I will need at least 4 cups or more each day, also if people want a snack it is easy to grab a granola bar that I packed or peanut butter crackers that I packed instead of trying to go out and find snacks...so not only am I a fat ass I am also cheap!!!
So anyway, my next post will have tons of Disney pictures and that will be great! I am so ready to be there!
