Helllllooo Humans!
Ugh. Where to start with this trip?! The backstory is a bit long & sad, but hakuna matata! Disney is our absolute happy place. It's where we go to celebrate accomplishments big and small, and where we retreat to to escape reality. This trip with be my 9th trip since last May! So how did this trip come to be??
Dillon & I (Santina) will be celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary on December 10th and we figured there's no place better to celebrate than WDW! In September we started looking for hotels & flights and there was just NOTHING. Well, I shouldn't say nothing, but nothing we were willing to pay that much money for. So we decided to give up on the Disney trip & celebrate at a ski resort near our home instead. However, when I priced out 2 nights and it came out to be more than $1000 and my internal crazy Disney voice said "keep checking... spend your money on the mouse"
So I kept checking and checking & eventually found flights & a hotel at a reasonable price for the week of Thanksgiving but I wasn't super thrilled about it being during Thanksgiving. A week later I found out I was pregnant and would be 14 weeks along during our potential trip. I got so excited, got the okay to book from Dill, and started planning how I was going to tell my amazing husband he was going to be a dad in Disney World!!!
And then I had a miscarriage. And my world was devastated & I had to tell my husband that I was pregnant and now wasn't and it was awful. We went back and forth about wanting to still go on this trip because what should have been a wonderful celebration is now a reminder of our child that isn't here. Ultimately, we decided we would still go and celebrate my birthday (the 26th) and our one year anniversary. And I'm glad we decided that because boy do we need this vacation!
Dill recently started his own business & has been working 15+ hour days. I'm in graduate school & working 40 hour weeks for my internship with an hour commute each way with no pay. We recently got 2 new puppies bringing our fur baby count to FOUR!! So you could say our house is a mad house and that this Disney vacation is well deserved & certainly needed. So here's to a hopefully wonderful trip filled with joy & celebration, and maybe a little one in 9 short months
Thanks for following along! Be back later with the deets!
