Disney Wolrd Day 1

Well, day 1 has come and gone, and day 2 is underway. We flew out of Charlotte at 6:00 am and had a short layover in Atlanta, and then landed in Orlando at 9:30 am. We ended up getting to the resort before any of Andrew's family. After everyone arrived, we checked in, but our room wasn't ready yet. We were all hungry to we went over to Downtown Disney for some lunch. We at at the Earl of Sandwich, and it was very good. We walked around DTD until Andrew and I were so tired we couldn't stand it, he and I headed back to the resort to see if the room was ready. It wasn't, so we sat on the couches in the lobby and Andrew took a nap. I tried, but it just wasn't happening. Our room was finally ready at 3:00, so we went over there. The room is really nice. It is a 3 bedroom villa, so we all get our own rooms. Andrew and I took a nap before we had to leave for dinner. Dinner was at the Crystal Palace at the Magic Kingdom. It is a character dinner, so we ate dinner with Winnie the pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. I was busy taking pictures of Maggie with the Characters, with the MIL's camera, we didn't get our picture taken with any of the characters. Disney is so different when you are there with a kid. Andrew and I are not used to this at all. Here we are at dinner, all of the food was very yummy! After dinner we walked around the Magic Kingdom. We rode a a few rides, but we were back at our room before 10:00 pm. Needless to say, we went straight to bed, and slept until 11:00 this morning! When I woke up, and put my bathing suit on and went straight to the pool. After a few hours, I came back to the room and got ready. We have dinner reservations in Japan at EPCOT tonight and I'm getting ready to leave now. So far, it has been a fun trip. I need to focus on taking more pictures. At the rate I'm going, I will have hardly anything to scrapbook.

Live from Disney

Andrew and I have made it to Orlando! We are currently on board Disney's Magical express bus that will take us our resort. We had to be at the airport this morning at 5 am! That is way too early. I will hopefully be posting a daily update. Until then, "see you real soon."

Girl's Night Out

Last night I went to a Girl's night out with my mom and sister and we made pillow case dresses for little dresses for Africa. If you remember, I wrote a post several months ago about making these dresses, and we finally got together to make them. We made 14 dresses last night, and are planning another night in a few weeks to make some more. All the dresses turned out so cute. Here are some pictures from last night.
Here is Kelly sewing a dress

Wendy Wilson came to help us make the dresses. Here she is with the first complete dress.
Here are all of the dresses we finished last night
Don't we look cute!

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Today, the one and only child on Andrew's side of the family will be turning one! Maggie came into this world while I was at the beach, and Andrew was in Atlanta at IM Training for Chick-fil-A. But as soon as we were home, we made our way to the Hospital to meet our newest niece. She had to spend the first 10 days of her life in the NICU. We will be celebrating Maggie's Birthday tomorrow at Disney World with the whole family.

Me meeting Maggie for the first time.

Disney Bound

Sunday, Andrew and I are heading down to Orlando, FL to spend the week with Andrew's family at Disney World. A few years ago, my MIL decided that the summer of 2009 we would take a "Wolff Family Vacation." It is MIL and FIL's 35 year anniversary, Amy and Mike's 10 Year anniversary and Mine and Andrew's 5 year anniversary. The original plan was to go on a cruise, but MIL said, "If the Lord blesses us with a grandchild, then we will have to go to Disney World." Well, Maggie was born last July, so that meant our cruise plans went out the window, and Disney World was the new plan. Most people who know me, know that Disney isn't my favorite place, but I am definitely in the minority around the Wolff family. There are just so many other places in the world that I have never been to and would love to visit, and I have been to Disney multiple times. I know that I will enjoy it, and come home with wonderful memories. The part that I dread the most is the weather. Orlando, in the middle of July is going to be miserable: Hot & Humid! It's a good thing that there will be plenty of pools for me to lounge by. I will try to post pictures everyday.

Happy Birthday Clara!

Today is not just the 4th of July, but my niece's 6th Birthday! I remember getting the phone call 6 years ago, at 3:00 am, from my sister telling me that I was an Aunt!
Yesterday, Clara and I spent the afternoon together. We went out for lunch to Pizza Hut, and then we went to the Dollar Store and I let her pick out whatever she wanted. That is like a kid's dream come true.

Happy Birthday Clara! I hope you have a wonderful day.

My first tomatoes

Here are the tomatoes that Andrew got to pick yesterday. They sure do look good. I can't wait to get home and eat them. Yummy! There isn't much better than just off the vine tomatoes.

Pizza

In case you didn't believe me about the Pizza we ate yesterday, here is the proof.
I told you it was big. That is George, the PM I am traveling with, in the picture.

Hello from Huntsville, AL

Monday morning, I was approached by my boss and he asked if I would be able to go out of town this week, and spend the night. I didn't have anything going on this week, so I told him I would. Little did I know what would happen next. Within an hour, I found out that I would be traveling to Alabama with one of our project managers.My company has an office in AL, and that is where I would be spending the next 3 DAYS! That's right! I will be here until Thursday. I am the kind of girl who likes things planned out, and this was not planned. I had to book a flight, rental car, and hotel rooms all before leaving for the airport at 2:30 pm. It's a good thing I live close to my office. I ran home at lunch and packed my bag very quickly. I also had to make sure that what I was supposed to normally do this week, was taken care of. (Thanks Sarah!) When we got to the Charlotte Airport, the check in for NWA was ridiculous! Nobody knew what was going on, and when we finally got to the front of the line, we were told we had to check in with US Airways! What! Well, our original flight had a layover in Memphis, TN, and apparently that flight had been delayed out of Memphis, so they booked us on a non-stop straight to Huntsville! I guess it was worth the wait in line, since there was good news. We got to Huntsville 3 hours earlier than we would have! After getting our luggage, finding the rental car, and checking into the hotel, George and I went for dinner. We had Mexican, and it was pretty good. There is a one hour time difference here, and by 9:00 I was tired, since I normally go to be around 10:00. We had to be up and at the office by 7:00 this morning, but that is where the time difference helps out, since I really didn't have to wake up any earlier than I normally would have. So, today had been full of sorting and filing, and organizing (That is what I'm doing down here). They took us to lunch at a place called Tommy's Pizza. It was very good. We ordered a whole pizza to share between 5 people, and it was seriously 3 feet wide. After lunch it was back to work sorting, filing, and organizing...fun...fun...fun... I am back in the hotel room, and I even brought some work with me to do back here. What else am I going to do?
On a separate note, I just talked to Andrew, and he said that some of my tomatoes finally got ripe enough to pick, so he is sending me pictures to put on here. I was a little sad that I missed out on picking my first tomato of the season.

Look who I met

James made his appearance into the world, last Monday, and Andrew and I got to meet him on Thursday. It was so nice being able to spend time with Sara and Jim and of course, James. I borrowed this picture from Jim's facebook page. I'm sure he won't mind.
