PLANNING OUR DREAM FAMILY VACATION!

"If you can dream it, you can do it." - Walt Disney 

In less than five months, the kids and I will be in the most magical place on Earth! I have wanted for so long to take the kids on a Walt Disney World Vacation, but it has never worked out until now. And honestly, I think the timing is perfect. The kids will be just under 8 and 7, and will be able to enjoy most rides. SO EXCITING. I may be more excited than everyone else. Just maybe!

So for our first official Disney Vaca, there will be a group of us going. 



We will be going during what is considered a low-crowd time, for which I am so grateful. Not only that, but we are going in November. Anyone who lives in FL knows how hot it is during the summer months, so I am very happy to be going during the winter.

This vacation was first and foremost an early birthday present for the kids. They will be turning 7 and 8 in December. While December would have been more ideal, Disney is VERY busy around Christmas from what I gather. So, going in November was kind of a no-brainer. Also, we will happen to be in Disney on my mom's birthday - she has never been to Disney World. So I thought it would be a great opportunity to celebrate her birthday as well with something she has never done before! So Grandma and Grandpa had to come along!

As for Kaila - Well, what is a fun Disney Vaca without a friend to tag along and enjoy all the fun with us?! Plus - she may have to take my daredevil daughter on a few rollercoasters. I have pretty bad motion sickness (I am going to get a patch and HOPE that it gets me through).

I plan on writing a series of blogs outlining the planning process - parks we are visiting, where we are staying, special events we will attend, how I am surprising the kids (yes, it's a surprise, so SHHH!), etc.

So, come along and enjoy this magical journey with us!

Getting to know me. My name is Nicole Marie Patterson. My maiden name is Ryman. I am 27 years old and was born in Fallbrook California. I live in florida now as my step dad was stationed here. I have a brother named John.  He is 30. My father passed away when I was 18 years old due to brain cancer. My marital status is divorced. But I just like to call myself single. I never understood why people wanted to label themselves with something that can be seen as so negative. My children are my whole world. I have a daughter, Autumn, who was born on 12-08-08 and is 5 years old. She will start kindergarten this year. She is funny,  smart, creative, and beautiful.  Lucas was born on 12-16-09. He is 4 years old and is the sweetest little boy. He is very smart, silly, giggly, handsome, and loveable. He has the best smile. They are everything to me. ♥ I am a deep, free-thinking, emotional, heart-on-my-sleeve individual. I overthink. I am analytical. I am impulsive. I am al...

Thirty.

In the blink of an eye... I have become a thirty-year-old woman. I think that when you reach certain ages, it is fairly normal to evaluate your life to determine if you are where you are supposed to be. And I am certainly no exception. I have actually for the most part - been GENUINELY excited to start this new decade of my life. A lot happened in my 20's. Good things, bad things, mediocre things... All of which I am grateful for. Without those challenges, my life would be drastically different. Here are some things that happened in my 20's that I LOVED: 1. Autumn Elaine (22) 2. Lucas Alan (23) 3. Started a new job at Home Instead Senior Care at 24, just days after my ex-husband left. This job brought many good things to my life - including 2 women who I will always consider friends. I learned about living independently, and that I COULD go on without a spouse and be just fine. 4. At 26 (almost 27), I started working at Twin Cities Family Practice. So far, it is the best j...
