Okay, it's been a long while, I don't keep up with the electronic world like I should obviously. So as you can see from the pictures we recently went on a Disney Cruise for 5 days and 4 nights followed by 3 days at Disney World and needless to say it was a blast! We all had so much fun, I wish we were still there! =)
I also recently broke my left ring finger playing softball with my high school students on May 11 had surgery and two pins were placed that evening. I got the pins out Monday, but the splint stays for 2 weeks, it's been a long nearly 4 weeks already. Anyway, that made it a little interesting on vacation but thanks to Glad press n seal, it stayed dry and I was still able to enjoy the water.
We saw shows on the cruise, ate too well ;), went to the Atlantis resort and the Disney island Castaway Cay, saw tons of characters, rode nearly all the rides we could at Magic Kingdom, visited Animal Kingdom, saw the light parade and the fireworks, stayed at the awesome wilderness lodge and enjoyed pool time as well, and so much more. It was really an amazing family vacation!
I also wrapped up my first year of teaching which went well and I'm looking forward to the year ahead, but I'm going to enjoy as much of the summer as I can in between working.
We're hoping to go visit Michelle, but we're also in the midst of building a house so it's a bit chaotic around here and we've been very busy with everything, especially the trip and the house.
It's amazing how much my priorities have changed, instead of wanting a too large fancy house, I'm very content with a house we won't be separated all the time in and is a good size for us and functional, can't stress the need for functional over looks and wanting to be close spending as much time together as possible, we already spend enough time apart with our schedules. So, that's changed but it's only because I want to have a lot of family time in the house when we're in it and I also have NO desire to clean more space than we need, I have grown to despise cleaning the house but don't want to hire a stranger either so a not so showy house it is! ;)
I am so looking forward to having a house though it's not even funny, having more space will be so amazing I can barely stand my excitement and I'm ready to break ground, but we're probably about 2 months or so from that yet, so I'll just keep being excited. I will probably post too many pictures of the progress it will be annoying so if you still read bear with me, I'm just excited to not be on top of one another any more!
