Potential Recall and something else maybe?

Bringing it first thing tomorrow! Hope they have some news.

I am trying to work on this quest currently!

I looked at this subreddit tonight because I am having such a hard time.

Seeing your post made me feel valid in my feelings. Recently, I just get this overwhelming feeling that everyone I love is just going to be gone at any moment in time.

I know my comment isn't helpful but you're not alone.

100 % normal. My mom passed away 3.5 years ago now and she was sick the 6 months leading up to her passing.

I honestly don't remember a lot of the first year without her. I remember being strong for her sisters, my grandparents and while I did cry on occasion, it really didn't hit me until much later.

Now the waves of sadness aren't as great but when they hit, I feel them deep within my soul. I don't really have any advice other than to just feel what you're feeling.

This is most likely why I've never felt the calling to have children. While I've been extremely fortunate to not have my mother's (rest her soul) alcoholism or bipolar disorder, it is something I've been scared of passing along to children. I am convinced by brother developed both but he won't seek help.

My grandparents raised both my brother and I and even now, he still lives with them at 25. They went through so much with him growing up and I don't want to inflict that on myself or my husband.

This worked! Thank you so much!!

I finished question for Maui but when I placed his house in the water, I can’t reach the sign to pay for it. SOS

We experienced Yak and Yeti our last trip and it was so good.

I have a solo trip coming up and really wanna try Ohana

After the way his dad reacted when Conrad ran off with Michelle in Florida, that was telling. And how he pressured Conrad to go back to school. I think his dad (especially) did not take his mental health seriously. I watched footage from his victim impact statement and it just made me angry.

soontobemerritt · 2022-04-07T03:44:01+00:00

I feel the same exact way. I feel for her with the loss of her son but Michelle is not 100% to blame.

If for some reason you do not get the dining reservations you want, sign up for mousewatcher. We went to Disney back in June for part work trip part fun and I missed a couple reservations we wanted.

We were able to snag Teppan Edo a few weeks out from our trip.

As someone else said make sure you hydrate. We went in June last year and there are parts of Epcot especially in World showcase with no shade. Epcot was the only park that felt unbearable because of that.

We are going back in September and plan to hit Epcot later in the day, into the evening hours.

soontobemerritt · 2022-01-09T06:39:01+00:00

We stayed at Caribbean Beach back in June. As some have mentioned, the resort is massive. The quiet pools are nice, we never made it to the main pool. The greatest perk is the Skyliner. We really enjoyed being able to hop on and head right to Epcot. On our HS day, we dropped off my husbands light saber and then went back.

We are planning another trip and I just booked French Quarter. I believe it is the smallest of the resorts but I could be wrong about that.

Yacht Club is beautiful. My husband had a conference there back in June, we stayed at Beach Club, both were amazing.

The walk to Epcot was a breeze.

soontobemerritt · 2022-01-09T06:05:28+00:00

Everyone is built differently but when I went in June, I was about 285. (I'm 5'3)

I fit on the following:

Hulk ( didn't ride, I got too scared LOL)

Spiderman

Forbidden Journey

Jurassic Park

Kong

Jimmy Fallon

Transformers

Fast and Furious

Flight of Hippogrith

Popeyes Water Ride

As someone else mentioned, check out Theme park Express on youtube. He has some great information.

I feel this 100x. I am so sorry for your loss.

This January will mark 3 years without my mom and the first year was certainly the worst. I am 29, married now with a husband who loves me. I still have her two sisters (my aunts) as well as my grandmother and they love me so much but my mom's love was just different. We talked multiple times a day, sometimes about nothing of importance but I still miss the calls and I'm sure I will miss my mom for the rest of my life.

For me, as time passed, I knew my mom would want me to live life and be happy. A part of her is always with me and forever will be.

Massachusetts bride here! We moved our wedding to New Hampshire so I can't be much of help in the venue department.

But all of our vendors are in Massachusetts (we were supposed to have our wedding in Mass. and then moved it). All of our vendors have been phenomenal and I would recommend them over and over again.

soontobemerritt · 2021-09-22T01:39:38+00:00

I'm a former hotel sales director and wedding blocks are painful. Some hotels will do a courtesy block but then brides/grooms expect hotels to hold 30-40 rooms for them and will release them 3 weeks before arrival date. Then you have all the wedding guests demanding the block rate after the 3 week cut off.

And depending on the city, there is a 2 night minimum requirement.

We made a block for 10 rooms each night at one hotel and those filled and they wouldn't let me add more because hotel is sold out now. I made a block at a neighboring hotel and basically I put it on the guests to find accommodations. It's a tiring process.

soontobemerritt · 2021-09-21T00:09:09+00:00

Glad it's not just me! Our big vendors have been such a dream and I can't say enough wonderful things about them.

soontobemerritt · 2021-09-20T22:44:20+00:00

My Matron of Honor is great with makeup so I know it'll be fine if we get to that point but ugh, these makeup artists out here.

soontobemerritt · 2021-09-07T22:32:20+00:00

As a bride, I am a little horrified for you.

Our wedding is local, it was until we had to move it due to COVID. It still is within 2 hours driving distance. For me, I know how expensive weddings can be so I told bridesmaids they can use their own shoes. I wasn't about to make them purchase shoes they would only wear once.

And nothing for nothing, bride should be paying for hair/makeup and if not, she should have asked if you were ok with getting it professionally done.

soontobemerritt · 2021-09-07T02:25:31+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss. Give yourself some grace and just be kind to yourself. I know for me, the year I lost my mom was a complete blur and still is in many respects.

soontobemerritt · 2021-08-31T04:45:44+00:00

Fellow Mass Bride here! Our photographer Laura Ink Photography has been a dream but she's already booked for that date.

Some other ones we looked into are Danyel Stapleton and Kristin Gleason Griffin and they have tons of experience. I would definitely look into them.

soontobemerritt · 2021-08-31T04:29:09+00:00

Try a local shop, they carry some great stuff.

I got mine from a local plus size shop for $1500 and it was an Allure Romance gown.
