Just Another Day in Paradise...

It has been awhile since I've posted anything on the blog! Here are some updates on our lives in paradise. Lately, things have been pretty uneventful. Brock's health has been good. He had a seizure last week (kind of a big one), but he recovered and did not experience any ill side effects, thankfully! I have been traveling for my job in the past few weeks which always seems to make life a little hectic for us. Brock celebrated his 6th birthday (and I had my 30th, which is a whole other story). Brock informed me that he is now an adult because it takes two hands to show his age! We are getting ready for our first family vacation to Disney World. We leave this Friday and will be there for a whole week. It is quite exciting, but I have to admit I have had many nightmares about this trip. In one of my nightmares I dream that I put Trace in charge of packing for all 5 of us and getting our stuff in the car. Since I am out of town this week, this could have been a reality. In my dream though, we arrive at Disney World and we do not have any of our travel documents with us. Then, when we do finally get in our room, I discover that Trace has packed me clothes that don't fit me anymore and he has only packed 3 days worth of clothes for the kids. Do you see how this can frighten me? If you know me, you know I'm a planner. I like to plan everything out and know exactly what I am taking and what I am going to wear each day. I have to tell you, when I woke up the next morning, I was so mad at Trace for potentially ruining our vacation! It really was unfair of me to be mad, but it was kinda funny. This is just one of many nightmares....the rest just resulted from me reading the book "How to Survive Disney World with Kids". The planner in me thought this would be beneficial, but instead it just made me paranoid about the sheer magnitude of DW and all the things we "needed" to see. Now that our vacation is quickly approaching, I don't have time to plan. I am in Washington D.C. this week for work and will not be home until Thursday. We leave Friday. More panic and stress! So here is to hoping my work trip goes quickly and that I can actually pack everything we need when I get home. We are ready to vacation!!
