Alrighty! You should sleepover at my house with us too. We'll have a sleepover party. And then party some more at the meeting LOL. This will be one fun filled weekend. :D Maybe you could try stuffing Baby's crate in your trunk, and just tie the trunk shut with a bungee cord so that the crate doesn't fall out?Quote:

I have to reply again, because I'm so excited. LOL.
There's going to be the ice cream cake...and I'm going to get like 4 Delissio pizzas lol. What is everyone's favourite kind of pizza? I'll get my mom to bake some cookies too -- any requests on the kind? Does everyone like Ambrosia salad? I love it. Garlic bread? What's everyone's favourite kind of chips? Pop? And for breakfast we'll have cereal, milk, eggs, pancakes, bread, bacon, sausages, oatmeal, cream of wheat...any other breakfasty things people like? Vickie, can you make the sandwiches? I loved the sandwiches you made last year!
Eeee I can't stop thinking about this meeting! It's going to be great. :D I get way too ahead of myself though. I'm already thinking about next year's meeting. :rolleyes:
slick I have actually met jordan and jynelle, my moms parents have a problem with it but mine do not. my parents really are short on money from when my parents split up, my mom only has a part time job, but my brother starts his new job tomorow, maybe he can help with cost too? and of coarse I will pay them back for sure. maybe my grandparents would be willing to help if I came up a little early(my dad is thinking the wed. before the meeting) and visted them? ;) lol as I said I can only go we can come up with the money by then, it all depends, my grad fee's are taking up a lot of money its $300 for my grad :(
If you cme up early, does that mean you'll take that flight that goes straight to Kelowna? I'd hate for you to go to Van and have no one to bring you here lol. Wow, your grad is expensive. My grad fees only cost me $140.
oh for pizza my fav. is pepperoni. I like most kinds of pop exept dr. pepper and the stupid cola twists lol and chips I like dill pickle, salt and viniger and plain. if I can make it I can make cookies too, Baking is my best quality lol I started baking by myself when I was 8 and making my own recipes by the time I was 10 lol I love to Bake and people love my baking :D
yes, I would come straight to kelowna. lol my grad fee's are:
$20-cap and gown rental
$90-grad fee
$35-after-grad fee(x2)
$120-banquet fee
Oh, and I forgot to ask if anyone has any allergies.
Most of my money is going towards how I LOOK when I grad...LOL. ;) I have to get my hair done, get a manicure, go to a tanning salon...Apparently I even need a pedicure. Not sure about someone touching my feet. I'm thinking about getting my makeup professionally done as well. Oh, and I'm renting a Hummer. LOL.
OK, this is not fair. 8:25pm and I've not had dinner yet....all this food talk is making me hungry.
Yes, I can certainly bring up the sammie stuff like before.
I do have one concern though....my car will not hold...
3 hoomans
3 dogs
dog crates
1 large cooler of food
Wow, things were different when I "grajeeated". All I had to pay for was a dress and in the 70's it cost about $40 and that was it. Mind you, we didn't have the whole cap and gown thing.
Pizza...I love everything and have no allergies. Oh, you can leave off the anchovies please...;)
Jordan, it's unfair that you fork out all that money for food. We need to get together and plan the meals, although it sounds like you've got it under control. I'm not a big breakfast eater before 10am.....oh what was I thinking.....you guys don't get up before Noon. :o :D :D Also, I don't eat sweet stuff at all.
As the time gets closer, I'll call you Jordan and we can plan stuff.
What if the crates are collapsible? Will they fit then? I know Ashley's is collapsible...But I don't think Shayna's are...
Don't worry, I won't pay for eeeeverything lol. Tasha and Jynnelle are coming shopping with me; I'm sure they can pitch in. :D I'm giving Tasha room and board, I command that she pitches in!!! LOL. ;) Jk.
I'm not a big eater before 10am eater...But you're right, I probably won't even be awake then lol. :rolleyes: :o
I told you that I had no problem getting a hotel room....:pQuote:

j/k...I'll totally pitch in...
Yep, I don't know for how long I'll be there, but I'll be there. I plan to pitch a tent in the campground which will house my three hounds and myself. With all this crate-talk and such (I will be unable to bring crates as all mine are the non-foldable ones), what are the rules for the dogs? I certainly don't want to have them locked in my car or the tent for long portions of the time there. Will they be able to be around the festivities at the campground? I am looking forward to it, it should be fun, and I look forward to meeting some PT'ers, just wanna know what the "rules" are!!
Dogs are allowed to run around as long as they aren't causing trouble and everyone remembers to bring some poop bags. ;) I mainly just want people to bring some sort of crate or something for assurance on my grandparents' parts...They still don't know how many dogs are coming...and they won't until the very day....LOL. Obviously dogs can't be running around free when everyone is asleep. Most people that camp there choose to tie their dogs outside the cabin. Dogs are allowed inside as long as they stay off the beds. But for the most part people just let their dogs loose and the dogs do whatever. We just have to remember to keep an eye on them, because it is in the forest, and we all know about the dangers of forests. And we have to respect that there will be four other people staying there (though they will only be there in the evening).
Because there are only four log-builders going, there will be extra cabins, so luckily not everyone will have to share a bed with someone LOL. But I would like us to squeeze in as much as possible so that we don't end up paying more..
That just made me think of something -- Steve, I'm not too sure how much it costs to have a tent there. I'm going to assume it's really cheap. I'll ask for you! But remember that there are going to be extra cabins if you want!
no dogs on the bed? lol that could be a problem.... Happy is happy to sleep on the floor or crate, but Misty is a whole nuther story, she will litterlly scream all night if she is kenneled and she wont stay on the floor, if she is not stretched out beside me on a bed she will literally flip out. outside is not really an option either, she hates it outside if I am not with her and will bark and howl the whole time. :(
I never really thought about this, but I don't see why it would be a problem if you brought your own blanket or had a blanket on the bed that she could lay on.
But we are going to tell my grandparents that the dogs will all be crated LOL.
ok, in that case i'll bring my own blankie lol if I remeber kelowna in July the blankie shall be very light lol
Will let you know but....I think you all should dig up a Plan B in case I can't make it.
This past weekend I heard a rumour that we are to have a big family dinner on the Saturday night. You see, my brother and his family are moving to Calgary mid July and they want to have one final get together that weekend at my Mom's place.
It's not written in stone yet and I'll try to have the date moved. I'm seeing everyone this Sunday for Mother's Day and will talk about it then. I'd rather go to Kelowna but if this dinner is a go, I'll have no choice.
Will keep you posted.
I really hope you can have the date moved if it is on that weekend! :( I would hate for you not to be able to come to the meeting. :(
We talked about it today and I still don't know if I can make. It probably won't be until the beginning of June until I know. It depends on so many other scenerios with my brother and his family. There's just too many details to explain here.
I strongly recommend that Ashley and Tasha and Cali look at other options of travel just in case. :( :( You don't want to be scrambling at the last minute.
I promise, I will keep you in the loop.
Aww.. :( I really hope you can make it. I'd be so upset if you couldn't come. :(
Who would I sing Dixie Chicks with?! :p
Awww.....I hope everything works out and that you can make it.
But I'm not relying on you to get there...I'm bringing myself...maybe you meant Amanda?
i am so excited for this!!!
i hope everyone can make it down..
it will be much fun..
:D
Looks like I can't make it at all.
I've been fighting with my family over this one and I'm afraid they just won't budge.
It now appears that my brother's hoity toity friends are throwing them a going away party on the Saturday night. I've met these "friends" and believe me they are NOT my kind of people. Anyway, I've been told in no uncertain terms that if I don't attend, it will leave a black mark. So what? I'm already the black sheep of the family anyway.
So with a heavy heart, I will be attending, only for my Mother's sake because she want to go so badly.
I'm so very sorry....I certainly don't mean to let you down because I know that some of you were counting on me for transportation. I feel so badly about this and can't stop crying...:( :(
Have fun guys and I will be there in spirit.
Awwww Noooo! :( I'm so upset! I really wish you could come. :( This sucks so bad. :(
Awwww.... I'm so sorry you can't make it...I was really looking forward to meeting you. Perhaps another time though...
Hey Jordan, I realised that you lost your Dixie Chicks partner...
So.......*clears throat*
"MaryAnn and Wanda were the best of friends
All through their highschool days......."
It just isn't the same...But I GUESS you'll do... ;)
A few more logging guys showed up for the logging program late, I guess. We still have tons of cabins left. My mom said they usually leave for the weekends but I'm hoping a couple might stay behind. My mom says they are really cool. They are all cowboys and I guess they play guitar and sing and stuff. I thought it might be fun!
With slick not coming ( :( ), Ashley is going to come down early on the Greyhound. I'm hoping she will get here on the Thursday that you get here, Tasha. Then Jynnelle can come over that day too and we can have a slumber party. I just have to figure out sleeping arrangements lol. I think I've got it pretty well-planned.
I'm still sad you can't come, Vickie. :(
AWW
I am sorry you cant make it Vickie... :(
You have no idea how badly I feel about this. :( I've had fights with my SIL over this and believe me, I hate conflicts but she and I have gone head-to-head and I've come out the loser.
You've got to promise me you will take lots and lots of pictures to share.
lol I am still HOPEING to come up! depends entirly on whaether or not we can scrape up the money at the time as I will be paying them back of coarse. I would be going straight to kelowna so I would have to stay with either Jordan or Jynelle, lol although I am not sure How Misty would react to Baby(Misty is afraid of really big dogs) but the girls should be fine with anyone properly introduced. are we doing it again next year? cuz next year I will be living in Vancouver so I will absolulty for sure be at the meeting lol
I know my mom will say no to you staying at my house -- I don't think she even knows that Tasha is bringing her two dogs LOL. I'm sure she won't mind the shelties too much, but another two dogs and she'll flip her lid. I'm guessing that you can't bring the dogs to your grandparents'? We'll see what Jynnelle says about you staying at her place...What day do you plan on coming here?
Yup, the Kelowna meeting is going to be an annual thing. ;)
if I can come I would be heading out on the thursday(cheaper) as far as I know the girls cant stay at my grandparents, plus I KNOW they wont be quiet at an apperntment type complex like that as they have been to my dads and even Happy barks at all the noises, Misty would go nuts lol
Do you know where you're staying yet Shayna? If you can't find a place to go with Happy and Misty, will you come by yourself? Maybe then you could stay at your grandparents' and you could still hang out with us and everything until the meeting since you'd be so closeby. My mom just doesn't want any more people staying at my house. The people who are coming early are planning on going downtown -- we are going to go shopping and go to the beach and walk around the waterfront and stuff. :D
unfortinatly it looks like I wont be able to come this year, I have pretty much lost all hope:( , but next year I will come for sure :)
Aww..you're the third person who can't come now. :(
Make me the fourth. Sorry guys it looks like I won't be able to make it either... I just can't afford to go. :( I was so hoping to go! Here's hoping I'll make it next year!
Aww darn. :( I was really hoping you could come. There's always next year. :)
I really hope that most people can make it. As far as I know, there's me, Jynnelle, Ashley, Tasha, Steve, and Devan for sure? How about the 'maybe' people? Does it look any better for you guys?
