Just 10 Days Away!

I can't believe I'm just 10 Days away from leaving for the World!

I can't wait to see it. To see the signs as we drive under them. To see the castle. To see the faces of my kids as they are enraptured in the moments and the magic that will surround us.

I can't wait to experience our First Family Vacation. Solo, that is. Just us four. All put together with the effort and planning by me and Jim. For our family, and it will be so unbelievable.

I think the best part is that we'll be together- far far away from the stresses of every day life. No anxiety for poor Rachael about where she will be going at the 2pm bell. No thoughts of whether or not this weekend is at his Mom's or Dad's for Ebin. No thoughts of slingin' cable for Jim, or worrying about how we're paying for this, because thanks to my superb bill paying forsight, and Glory to God for our current positions in life, we can afford this. No thinking of anything other than our time together for me.

We're 10 days from leaving our cares behind. And 11 days from seeing the castle for the very first time for me & the Kids, and the first time as an adult for DH.11 Days till Buzz. 11 Days till Peter Pan. 11 Days before getting our "First Visit" pins. 10 Days before the last-minute rush of groceries, packing, and did-we-turn-off-the-lights? 10 Days before the last day of work. 10 Days before the last day of school.

I'm so excited. Something else I'm really looking forward to is seeing my DH in this environment. Seeing him experience these things as a father and seeing a twinkle in his eye that's of his former preteen self.

All of it.

Just 10 Days Away.
