Step closer and listen to my story. I don’t usually share bundles of personal information here at Living a Disney Life, but for this Friday Five, I’m going to have to. Share, I mean. See, I’ve been skipping a day or two of posting in recent weeks and that trend might continue (or worsen) for a little bit longer. It’s not that I’ve run out of Disney stuff to write about – I’m pretty sure that might be impossible. And it’s not you, I promise. You guys have been great! Your comments, tweets, Instagram and Facebook likes – that’s all been wonderful! It’s me, honest! I’ve been a tiny bit preoccupied. Let me explain…
My Disney Life in a Countdown Calendar
In 29 days, I’ll be something I’ve never been before. Kind of a short-term but life-changing gig, really. I’ll be a Mother of the Bride. A responsibility I’m taking very seriously. It’s going to be a great wedding full of special, magical details I cannot wait to share with you. After that, I’ll have yet another new role as a mother-in-law. Since we’re crazy about our future son-in-law, that seems like a pretty good deal. Megan’s going to be a beautiful bride and I’m sure I’m going to cry my eyes out! You can probably guess where the happy couple will be going on their honeymoon.
In 93 days, I’ll be running my 7th half-marathon. I’m looking forward to it because our son, Joseph, will be running with me and this will be his first half marathon. To be perfectly honest, I’m not very motivated to do the actual training for this race. I’m hoping my attitude will change once the weather cools off a bit. Someday, I’m hoping Joseph and Megan will both enter a runDisney race with me. I’ll cross the finish line just in time to celebrate! In 94 days, I’ll turn…well, let’s not discuss my birthday. I’m having another one. ‘Nuff said.
In 134 days, I’ll be at Walt Disney World! Christmas will be over by then, but the spirit of the season will be everywhere at Disney World and Raymond and I will be soaking it up. All those gorgeous decorations! Wrapping up 2015 – for our family, an eventful year of both happy and sad occasions – Disney style.
In 188 days, we’ll be headed to Walt Disney World again, but this time to meet up with my Disney Exchange Podcast co-hosts for runDisney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend. I’ve registered for the Glass Slipper Challenge (10k on Saturday, half-marathon Sunday) and Nick and Dave will be running (okay, Nick will be walking) the 10k with me. I’m pretty stoked about this!!! If you’re planning to be there, be sure to watch the podcast’s website or Facebook page for meet-up details!
191 days to go before we board the Disney Dream for a bit of rest and relaxation on a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas. In Nassau, we aren’t planning to leave the ship – I’m planning to just rest and recover from the very action-packed Princess Half-Marathon Weekend and enjoy some guilt-free Disney cruise dining!
I’ve got no complaints. I’m excited! I’ve just got a lot in the works right now. Bridal showers, rehearsal dinner, wedding, running, holidays, Disney, more running and finally, the grand finale, floating around with nothing to do. I appreciate each of you for visiting me here, for your kind words, good-natured teasing, excellent debates, and steadfast support. In 73 days, Living a Disney Life will be two years old…I could never have come this far without you.
How many days until your next Disney vacation? Where are you going?
What an exciting few months you have ahead Lisa!
Meghan will be a beautiful bride for sure and you are going to be an awesome Mother of The Bride!
Thanks, Linda! I’m pretty stressed now that we’re in the home stretch. So many details to worry about…I should have hired a wedding planner. Keep your fingers crossed for us, please!
