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!

I get it.

Wow, guys! What a crazy and busy week it was. I am so glad it is over. Last night was so peaceful. The kids fell asleep on me while we were watching TV, and I just thought to myself, "How lucky am I?" I am so lucky and grateful to have my kids. And they love me, faults and all. Unconditionally. As I do, them. This weekend is going to be pretty quiet. Full of laundry, cleaning, and all things domestic. I wish I could say we we're doing something fun and exciting, but it's hard to do fun and exciting things in dirty underwear, right?! Haha! Tomorrow we are going to the Williams house for Sunday Funday Pizza Night. I just made that up. I'll work on it.  I met with my advisor again. I have my first 4 semesters mapped out. And, even though I have to take a college prep math course that will not count towards my degree credit hours, after 1 full year, I will be halfway done with the AA portion of my degree. So, though I originally thought this may take me 6-8 y...

The girl behind the blog.

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...
