2 Things: I'm going to Portland and Disneyland

I thought this cartoon summed them up together quite nicely. First off, I am taking Tim to Portland next month for his birthday. Of course, any trip to Portland is a dream enough, but we're also going to see Coldplay, which I cannot tell you how excited I am to do. A dear sweet friend of mine bought the tickets for us when there was NO WAY we could afford them and they sold out.... FAST! Now, almost four months later, we are excited to finally tour this delightful city we fell in love with and spend 3 glorious kid-free days touring the sights, seeing good friends, and hearing our most favorite of favorite bands play! I am so excited.

Last year, I had the chance to go to Disneyland for the first time and it totally rocked my world. Though it was truly a memorable event, I couldn't help but want to take my kids along. So as soon as I got home, I got to work renting and borrowing every Disney movie I could think of. We began regular family movie nights where Disney characters would come to life in our livingroom. As the boys became more and more exposed to it, they started asking if they could visit the castle and see the fireworks that were at the beginning of each movie. I started flanning my next Disney trip. We finally settled on going for Noah's 3rd birthday. Mostly because, I can't think of a better birthday present than going to Disneyland for the first time and Noah is absolutely obsessed with Disney. He always talks about sword fighting, and captain hook and mr. schmee. He pretends he's Peter Pan looking for his shadow. It's so cute. We spend a lot of our freetime looking at youtube videos of the park and we listen to the parade song on my ipod EVERYTIME we get in the car. They are so excited! And I have to say, I am too.

I'm not usually a traveler, in fact I have spent many years never going anywhere. But I am so thankful that God has blessed us with some couple time and some family time together.
