It was one year ago today that I was celebrating my birthday with my boyfriend and plethora of roommates at Animal Kingdom with a follow-up trip to the Magic Kingdom for MNSSHP in the evening. This is the first time in 3 years that I won't be at the World for my birthday and I'm missing it terribly. Thankfully we're 35 days out today - but I'm still jonesing like a mad woman.
We've got a big trip planned this year (two whole weeks!), but when we booked it late last year we were expecting a much smoother year. We purchased a new vehicle earlier this year, and the Canadian dollar was sitting pretty at nearly on par with the green-back. But over the course of the year my boyfriend became very ill and was unable to work for nearly 6 months while doctors guessed at what it could be. Within the last month he's started to feel a whole lot better, but it's resulted in this two week monster trip being on my tab.
Through the year's bumps we've done our best to keep optimistic and to try and use this upcoming trip as motivation to keep our chins up! As a result I built a massive wall calendar out of painters tape and post-it notes! It's quite the sight when you wander into our house and it takes up an entire wall in our living room. However, because it's been up for several months, and there are quite a few post-its up there, things are starting to fall apart.
Today, to celebrate my birthday and to celebrate making it through this insane year, my boyfriend gave me an 4" by 8" custom built, wall mounted, Disney calendar. It's a massive white board that he's custom framed himself and plans to hang in our living room in place of the painters tape calendar this evening. He's really the best thing that's ever happened to me - and I'm very lucky to have him
I'll post some photos as soon as it's hung!!!
No trips planned currently... But we're hopeful something in 2017!!!
