I'm one happy camper

Disney Dream

I'm a huge fan of cruising, I'd cruise several times a year if I could afford it.  I've been wanting to take

Grace on her first cruise.  Well it finally happened.  I got the go ahead from the hubby and we are booked.  This will be my first Disney cruise, (and my first balcony) and I am beyond excited.  Now we have a little over a year to get ready and PAY for it.   We set said aboard the new (starting sailing January 2011) Disney Dream on Grace's 8th birthday.  We leave out of Port Canaveral, Florida for 5 days of a slice of Heaven.  I sure hope Grace has a wonderful time.

Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday Aunt  Bonathon!!!  

We spent the last Saturday of the September with Bonny and Ashlee.  Long standing tradition (love traditions).  We have breakfast and then whatever.  The birthday girl usually gets to choose where we eat.  Ashlee Gail and myself always choose Crackle Barrel and Bonny usually chooses IHOP.  However there is a new CB  in Summerville and Grace likes to eat where they have toys, so wanna guess where we went.

I cannot believe its October already, Christmas is right around the corner.  I am not ready for that, or should I say, my wallet is not ready for that.  My calendar on the other hand is ready and prepared, and almost full!  Grace will be in a Christmas show for dance as well as in the Christmas parade.  So excited.

October also brings our wedding anniversary on it.  We have so much going on at work right now, so we decided to wait til the weekend to go out.  And as Paul Rays puts it, Grace is attached (at the hip) so we had a family date night.  Dinner and a movie.  It was her first real move, she was asleep after an hour.

What did we see.....I've been waiting since May when they announced it at the Derby.   I bought our tickets a few days early and arrived 30 minutes before showtime.  I figured it would be packed, I was wrong, I guess not everyone is a big horse race fan, go figure.  We however loved it.   I heard Grace and her dad talking early, he's trying to talk her into riding lessons instead of dance lessons.  I don't think so bud!!!!!  But I would love to have a horse.

Back to the movie, it was awesome.  I truly enjoyed it.  You can count on the DVD being in my collection.

That time of year......

What an awesome day that will be. May 1st will start with a birthday breakfast for one of my very favorite people. We'll celebrate Miss Ashlee Gail Compton's birthday, only to be followed by a little horse racing with my hubby!

What a Ride

I love a good race! And today, WHAT A RACE!!!!!!
You could not have asked for a better run.

"An amazing upset in the Kentucky Derby -- 50-1 shot Mine That Bird wins Kentucky Derby 135. Jockey Calvin Borel gets his second Derby"

And this Jockey is just awesome, so sincere. I love watching him!!!!

Until the Preakness!!!!!!

Derby Time

At time of this post there are 25 day 20 hours and 13 minutes until the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby! I'll be watching from home again, but still holding out hope to one day attend this gala event. If I had my choice of any sporting event to attend, this would be it. But I want to sit with the owners PLEASE, I want to attend the parties and be a part of it all, which is really unlike me.

1969

Maybe one day, I'll have a nice Derby Party and all the ladies will be required to dress accordingly. Here are two hats I've picked out!
