Look out people!
Heather & Melissa are going to be childless and in search of adventure of epic proportions! So EPIC, in fact, that it deserves it's very own mock movie poster! So I made one!
Melissa and I met while planning our trips for October 2012! Our group on DIS made a Facebook group (as we all love to do!) which allowed us to get to know each other better. Melissa was running the 2012 TOT 10 Miler with our mutual friend Jody! I bought a ticket to the run after party. It was my very first day in Florida and I was exhausted but I got over to DHS in time to ride TSM and wander around before the girls were done running. Was able to meet them in person for the first time. And the rest is history!
Since October 2012 we've planned trips, ran from zombies and explored the Mall of America!
We were both in Disney World this January (2014!) with our kids and had a BLAST!
NOW it's time for the TRIP OF EPICNESS!
Drinking Around The World
Our friend Jennifers Wedding
TOT 10 MILER! (OMG! My first RunDisney race EVER!)
