[smilechaser]

So, for those of you unfamiliar with our TR’s, we use the tag team approach. Brent gives his rendition and then I correct it, the ‘more correct’ version, or as I like to call it PROOF READING!

This is my response to the first post by Brent in the TR. I am a little behind as I worked alot this week.

First off.....THANK YOU so much for all the comments about the weight loss. While I still have a ways to go I must say I feel incredible!! I wasn't abnormally tired at the end of the day, I didn't "not do" anything because my stamina was low. My feet survived the trip much better than usual, except the broken sandle....Hmmmm, wonder if that is anything like Cinderella's shoe incident, just thought of that!

I have to agree with Brent on one thing….this was by far out most amazing trip. So many special moments and Disney magic. Every time we go, we say “now, we can’t possibly be disappointed but there is absolutely no way we are going to be able to top the previous trip. This time, we out did them all!!

Brent’s intros were pretty good. I consider him more of a Cinderella FREAK than a fan…..but who is mincing words here. I suppose it’s a healthy obsession……of course, not as understandable as my fascination with my endearing Tink. He is usually a pretty down to business type guy but tends to cut loose for vacation and I love it. I teased him after we returned and told him he is soooo the guy that Diamond Rio talks about in that song ‘Bubba Hyde’. “It even refers to the guy driving a baby blue vehicle!! (baby blue=Cinderella)….Hasn’t missed a day of work in 13 years….(line in song).” The guy in the song just breaks lose on the weekend......Check out the lyrics to that song……you tube it! You will get much better insight into Brent on vacation! The way he introduced me…..I wish I was a young silver of a wife…..thanks doll! I have recently become more involved with being healthy. Love everything Disney, especially Tink and Snow White. I am a mother and a nurse, I work psych……which helps me relate to my darling Hubby! Just Kidding! Love my job but even more, love my vacation time and I try to spend every possible moment of it at Disney World with my favorite prince!

Yes, the plane ride was a rough one, I’m a nervous flyer anyway. Of course Brent doesn’t encourage that fear at all……like the remark that comes to mind when I was nervous one time, he looks right at me and says “do you know there are only 4 bolts holding the wing on!!” The dr gave me medication before to fly to help with nerves. I think I would have benefited more by giving it to him so he would nap! LOL. Like he said I had a sinus infection going in, the ear popped and once I hit “dizzy” I then escalated to “nauseas” in about 2 minutes. I didn’t want to let Brent know I wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t want to ruin his first night on vacation but I was feeling very bad. I tried to put on a happy face and thought if I struggled thru dinner I would get a good night’s sleep and be ok. I don’t remember much about the eve except the spiral of dizziness and nausea but I do remember hitting Chef Mickey’s and smelling food, that was a significant turning point…….and it wasn’t a good one! We went up to that area where they take your pictures and I must have been showing some wear, the photographer said “do I need to call first aid?”, I turned to Brent and said “if they don’t hurry and snap the picture they are going to need to call housekeeping”. We made it through the picture and I abandoned Brent with the little pager to sit on the bathroom floor for quite awhile. I realized at this point when I couldn’t tell floor from wall that the dizziness wasn’t going away. So I made the call to cancel dinner, I was so sad that I disappointed Brent but just couldn’t do it. My wonderful Prince got me safely back to the hotel and tucked my before going after some dinner. What a wonderful guy…..seriously, I was so thankful he was there to take care of me and not be angry about it.

The next morning ……I was feeling good, sans voice!! What?!?! I can't be on Disney vacation with no voice! Brent really had a real vacation....at Disney and a wife who can't talk. Every mans dream, I'm sure. LOL Brent covered all that pretty well. Well, except for the incident with the pretty blond parking attendant in the parking lot. LOL. So, we get to the parking lot earlier than most people, park right up front. We get out of the car and Brent starts walking toward the trolley area. The pretty little attendant says to him “I’m sorry Sir, there is no trolley in this area”, he looks baffled and says “Why?”, she nicely points to the walkway out to the TTC area and says “well, it is closer to walk than to walk to the trolleys” Brent turned around and realized that he had parked directly in front of the entrance to TTC! Yet he was walking AWAY from it to get a trolley to take him there! LOL. Guess that curbed his blonde jokes for the day…..ha ha!!

I was soooo excited with my necklace that my darling prince gave me!! It matched my ring perfectly and I just loved it! It is perfect! Jewelery is always a hit and TinkerBell ......well, you just can't go wrong with Tink! He is just amazing! I am very lucky! Tink liked it too, although I think she still likes to give Brent a little bit of a hard time. And I fully enoucrage that as it leads to much of my vacation pleasure!
