Count Down to Disney . . . .

It's no secret.........

My favorite place to spend my vacations is Disney

I usually celebrate my Birthday at MAGIC Kingdom in Florida. It was important that I change my plans this last December because my Grandpa had a medical emergency and our family felt lead to stay home and be with Grandpa.

We do have another trip planned...... One of the fun things that my Dad always does with me is count down the number of days until we go to Disney. We often start months in advance and the anticipation builds. This time our family decided to place a calendar in my bedroom so that I would have a visual reminder of the number of days until vacation. Hooray.... the countdown has started and I am planning to go visit my favorite place in 55 days.

It will be the perfect time to fly out of this Michigan cold winter to sunny Florida. We will spend a week joining in on all the Disney fun. We are looking forward to our vacation .... part of the fun is planning, dreaming and counting down!!!

Back to School . . . A good start to 2009

I was up bright and early on this cold January morning. My bus arrives at 6:40 a.m. After sleeping in for about 17 days (I mean REALLY sleeping in...) it was a huge change for me to get up early. It was very cold and the driveway was a little slippery because of freezing rain yesterday.

It is good to get out and have a routine. A girl could get pretty lazy with no commitments!!! I spent time at Riverside Senior apartments with my friends.... I visited with my friend Ellan and wished everyone a Happy New Year. Tomorrow is Watercolor Class at the Community Center - It's great getting back into my school routine of serving, playing and learning (can't forget learning). Happy New Year to all!!!!
