You get to sleep until 6:45 with middle schoolers in the house! Lucky girl! My next door neighbor gets picked up at 7am for her middle school carpool.

Anyways... I can't wait to hear about your trip but it sounds like I'm going to have to! But that's OK because I'll be on my own trip soon.

So wish I could sleep til 6:45a, that is my old wake up time. Now with Mairead on the train at 6:25a my alarm is at 5:40a. Now if I didn't have to drop her at the train Daniel's but doesn't come until 7:55a I could sleep til 7.

Don't envy you that laundry pile, can imagine it must be a mountain!

Glad there were more highs than lows and though it'll be hard to wait it'll be fun to have the PP pictures in the comentary.

Ok now I feel spoiled I really should get up sooner...but i don't so hard to get moving...even worse today...

I took a pix of just the laundry from the trip and in our laundry basket and that looked horrible

CD should be order w/in the week and hopefully get my copy soon we have some great pictures!

Welcome Home! I suppose we can wait for your TR.....

I'll try and tie you over w/ a life update, souvie pixs and of course some highlights...plus the FB album i posted today

Blessings are sometimes hidden in the daily MAGIC and joys of life...

Of course Matt and I have been blessed w/ 15 years of marriage and again blessed w/ 4 beautiful children not everything has been a peice of cake, like job loss, health issues, dealing w/ the impact of raising 3 special needs children and the other mundane struggles of life...

But Matt and I were extremely blessed to take this trip and have the funds to pay for it, plus the care of our children for 5 days by my Mother and Father

little did we know when we left and then upon our rertun how our life would flip and do a complete 360 to last Spring of 2010...

Many of you may know that Matt has spinal deteriation and was treated for it w/ a 3 vertabrae spinal fusion last April, after months of prolonged treatments and pain...we thought 4 months out from that we were in the clear and he'd be able to lead a healthy normal life...fast foward to July of this year and something didn't quite feel right...then fast forward to 3 weeks ago and after months of physical therapy, his pain, discomfort is coming back. He saw the surgeon prior to our trip and was given the OK and sent w/ a course of medication. Matt was fine throughout our trip, sore and a bit tired, but who isn't at Disney the trip made no ill affect on Matt...but w/ the med's course over late on Thurs last week...by this past Sunday it was like he was slammed w/ a brick wall

A trip to the ER w/ 911 and more pain medications, an MRI today and we fear more of his spine has deteriated...he's back to varied mobility and alot of pain

He will see the surgeon again on this coming Wed and we await the news good or bad...it's something

It has been a hard 24 hrs to endure and as look at our trip pictures w/ an even fonder recolaction of the time we shared I am thankful for it and for my husband and now pray w/ faith and pixiedust...it's not as we fear....

to help tie you over while I await our PhotoPass pictures to arrive I want to share some highlight pictures from the trip...without spoiling to much of the fun

(now of course if you know me on FB there are more there )

On the way to our resort:

First stop after check-in and lunch...to see Mickey of course!

Our first ride of the trip a romantic spin on the carrousel

later we took a relaxing ride on the People mover...

(I took a vacation feet shot on this ride for you Missy...so stay tuned )

One of the best things of the whole trip was this:

a room w/ a view

Ready to eat at F&W:

Just couldn't get enough of the castle during hallo-wishes...AMAZING!

The Happy Couple...

How many times did we ride the mania?

Enjoying AK w/ a different view...

last but not least...

stay tuned I'll be back later in the week w/ the souvie pictures J~​

Sending out prayers for Matt. What a blessing to have been able to enjoy your special trip together before the problems became unbearable. Prayers that the situation is easily remedied and causes no long term issues with his mobility.

Oh yay! I'm so keeping my eyes open for the "vacation feet" shot!

The pics of the two of you are fantastic. You look so relaxed and like you are really enjoying each other's company. LOVE IT!
