January filers VSC lottery, who gets the jackpot next?

[dbears 1]

Here is us at the Magic Kingdom:

Here is us infront of the Eiffel tower.. We went to Paris for Valentine's Day

Forgive my ignorance, is the Magic Kingdom different from the Disneyland?.. Disneyland & Universal Studio are the two places that I would really want to visit when i get there... and Rick promised to bring me there one day--- actually, that is the only reason why I accepted his proposal j/k

Eiffel Tower & the whole France, one place that I have promised myself to visit before I die... You lucky girl, you get to spend your valentines with your SO.

Beautiful pics girls... both pairs look really adorable.

keep 'em comin girls, seeing lovely "couples'' pics somehow lightens the wait...

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Hope these count!

These are from our stay by Eel River, which is where we holidayed a day after meeting for the first time:

It was an ideal place to visit, because it was so serene and quiet and it meant we had plenty of time alone together

Here are some actual couple pics:

That was taken at Comic-con in San Diego towards the end of my first visit: Alex & I are in the middle, and the other people are all forumers from the same forum we met on. It was great meeting so many people - and they were all truly lovely people.

Here's a joke photobooth photo; the other set is in my photos link!

It was too cheesy to resist.

Disneyland in located in Anaheim, California (the first park Disney built).

Walt Disney World (abbreviated WDW) is located in Orlando, Florida, and is made up of several theme parks. The four major parks are the Magic Kingdom (the original park, where Cinderella's castle is located), EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.

People usually say "Disney", "Disney World", "the Magic Kingdom", "the Mouse" or just "Orlando" to refer to the park in Florida.

Actually, it was the second time he came over...our first date was the Kennedy Space Center...he's a big space program fan, and we went on the behind the scenes tour and the IMAX theater show...he was in heaven!!! We also went to MGM Studios (called Hollywood Studios now), and, of all things, Gatorland...

The second trip was Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and Islands of Adventure....he loved all of it! And I loved sharing it with him!

Magic Kingdom rules! Was that a first date?

Just popping in to say glad to see that VSC is still going strong with their approvals and good luck to those who are remaining!

Thanks a bunch!!! Good luck to you CSC filers, hope you'd be seeing approvals soon.

Congratulations to all you January approvals! I'm sure the rest of you are coming soon!

Thank you KimandRuss. I hope you get your final divorce decree soon so you could start with the process. Good luck to you.

Good luck to everyone this week!

Yes, GOOD LUCK to us all.

i hope you'd hear something soon KitEEgirl.

BTW, everybody (VSC or CSC filer) is welcome to share their lovestory here... their sweet couple pics too .

Here is us at the Magic Kingdom:

You know what are great? Photobooth photos! I have dozens of them.

Share away rachel!

here is one pic of us, it is in a motel room in Davao Philippines... motels don't have good connotation in the Philippines. Here it is just a place for lover's short time tryst, minimum stay is 3 or 4 hours (guess 3-4 hours is long enough to get rid of body heat )... Now this one here is a motel adjacent to the hotel we stayed in when Rick was here the last time. they have very interesting themed rooms : chopper room, earthquake rooms, room of cards, titanic room, car room, and this one is the cage room or jungle room... we explored some of the the rooms with the help of one of the staff on the last day of our stay (both our hotel & the motel have same owner and i think same housekeeping staff. We were not allowed to take photos but I sneaked my camera in... Had we known rooms were more interesting there we would have opted to stay there and in a different room everyday .. but of course, it was not possible coz my kids stayed with us up to the last day... hmmm, maybe next time

here's also a link to our online photo album:

LOVE is a leap of FAITH

Perfect together

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Oh wow, that's quite some room! I bet the others were equally fascinating!

I love the words on your photo page - about the type of people you both wanted, but how you ended up with each other - so sweet, and I can definitely identify with that; I'd never have thought I'd end up with someone like Alex, either.

You both have gorgeous smiles!

WOW! Look at those big trees and the the very clear water! Lovely, lovely! The photobooth photo is really cute

[Alex & Rachel 78]

It was beautiful - gorgeous weather, warm water, and when we were tired of swimming we inflated airbeds and used those as rafts!

There are some more photos of the trees and river (without us) here!

Thank you psiprez. Maybe I should ask him to take me & the kids to Disney World then, it sounds bigger. I just don't know which one is nearer to North Carolina.

Hope you could also share your love story here or even just pics.

Actually, it was the second time he came over...our first date was the Kennedy Space Center...he's a big space program fan, and we went on the behind the scenes tour and the IMAX theater show...he was in heaven!!!

The second trip was Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Magic Kingdom, and Islands of Adventure....he loved all of it! And I loved sharing it with him!

I bet you both have a grand time together. ... have you created an album or a scrapbook of your pictures together for him to bring to his interview? Does he have interview date already?

i have not even printed anything yet, except those that went with our paper to VSC... i am working on our photo book though.

Thanks for the compliments... love is just that, it holds no ideals.

Yeah, the other rooms were indeed fascinating... now if i could just learn to put those room pics without using up all my allowed attachement space.

Disney World is much closer....and in my backyard!!!

Disney World is much closer....and in my backyard!!!

Hmmmm... maybe we could stay at your place in order to save on hotel charge .. j/k...

Hope we would really be able to visit the place someday.

You will!! You will! I'd love to go back -- I went as a child with my parents and brother, and went again in high school with a school group. But I'd love to go again as an adult. My brother just took his wife and daughter there last year for her birthday. One of teammates at work just went with her husband and kids. They have fabulous family vacation packages!!!

But so you know in the meantime - Busch Garden Williamsburg is about 3 hours away from the Raleigh area. And Kings Dominion (a little north of Richmond, VA) is a few hours away too. They aren't the same as Disney World, but they are amusement parks too!!
