Disney in a nutshell...

I was going to write a long post about how awesome it was to be at Walt Disney World, but I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.  I will say that my favorite place ever was Le Chefs France in Epcot.  Lunch there was just awesome.  Also, if you go, get the Memory Maker that comes along with the PhotoPass option it's so totally worth it!  Most of the pictures I post will be the professional pics taken by the Cast Members.  Enjoy!

These are my favorites. 



















Here are a few from my phone that I just loved.  I was surprised with a birthday button got to celebrate every single day.  At breakfast at the Crystal Palace I got a birthday card from the characters and a cupcake and they sang happy birthday to me.  I felt so special!








I had a blast and I can't wait until we can go back again!

Once again, we would not have been able to go if it wasn't for the generosity of my bf's parents.  They're truly wonderful people.

Insert Clever Title Here...

We have 3 days until we fly out to Orlando.  I'm so excited, but I'm SO stressed out at the same time.  There's so much going on between school and the kids and my personal life.  I feel like freaking out.  I have been freaking out.  Under the surface.  I'm like that proverbial duck.  Sane-ish looking above water, but kicking like hell underneath.  

One reason I'm freaking out because I'm supposed to graduate in May. I'm taking 5 classes this semester.  4 of them pertain to my major and minor and one is French 3.  And in case you didn't know, French is one hard language to learn.  How I got an A in both French 1 & 2 is beyond me!  Four Classes per one semester can drain anyone, I don't know how my BF was able to take 5 for more than one semester at a time.  Oh and did I mention I have a final this week? Oy...

Reason #2 is that I have to pack myself and 3 kids for this huge trip and the kids are on a mini vacation as I type this.  Which means the night they come home, I have to wash and re-pack EVERYTHING.  I have a check list.  I hope I stick to it.  I hope we don't forget anything.  Adam tells me that if we were to forget something, the resort would be able to provide it for us.  I hope so.  I know I'm stressing him out with my worrying.  I try not to, he's got his own things to deal with, but I have always been a worrier.

There are other reasons I won't bore anyone with.  And I know I should "let go and let God." I want to.  It's just hard.  But I'm taking a deep breath and trusting that everything will work out the way it's supposed to.  



I really am excited for Disney World.  I'm excited to see the kids' faces.  I'm excited to be there with the man I love.  I'm excited that we also get to share the experience with his parents.  I'm excited to eat to my hearts content, and wear Minnie Ears, and take pictures with as many characters as I can.  And while I'm on vacation, I will try and leave my worries at home and really enjoy my time away.  This is my first real "get on a plane and go somewhere" vacation I've had in 10 years.  Insane, right?  

As I was typing that last paragraph, I put myself in a better mood.  Maybe I just needed to vent a little.

I hope you all have a great Day.
