I know I promised an update last week but life got in the way, I guess that is what happens when you have a baby and get sick with a 24 hour flu-like bug. Thank goodness Marc was able to stay home with me because I was knocked out on the couch all day long.
I have a big announcement to make, on Friday I gave my notice to work and I'm now officially a stay at home mom.
I'm so happy that I'm going to be able to stay home with Violet. This is something I have wanted for as long as I can remember and so far things are going really well. I think this is what I was meant to do.
Which brings me to trip planning...we really don't know with me staying home when we will be able to go to Disney. My hope is that we can go this January. I'm crossing my fingers, doing a Disney dance and asking for all the pixie dust I can get. It really depends on a few different factors.
#1. Marc & I want to move closer to my family. I don't think we are going to leave Massachusetts as Marc has a very good job but he works about 45 minutes from home in the direction of my parents house in Southern Maine. So if we moved closer to his work or even 45 minutes from his work still but closer to my parents then we wouldn't have as far to drive when we visit. Which with the first grandchild being born has been a lot the last month.
#2. I'm still in the process of the lawsuit about my broken foot from August. I can't say too much about it but I'm really hoping things are progressing in the right direction and that a settlement will happen in time for us to travel in January 2013. I'm going back to physical therapy next week and what happens there will affect the timeline of the settlement. It's such a waiting game!
I do have second and third choice travel dates. September 2013 or January 2014.
I don't know if I can wait that long. Really. I'm a Disney-a-holic. It's too much torture!
I keep telling Marc that all I want for my 30th Birthday in September is a trip to Disney in January. Fair, right?
He may just agree to it if it means he doesn't have to plan anything for the big 3-0.
Anita & her Marc sent Violet a little gift from their last trip and I finally got around to getting a picture today.
My little Mouseketeer!
Also, here is the picture I sent out for Violet's birth announcement this week.
