Okay, so I want to thank everyone that's following along on this strange journey of mine. I guess I should probably explain a little about what's happened in the past 9 months or so....
So, on May 2, 2016 I lost my husband. He was truly my best friend. He loved Disney just as much as, if not more than me. It devastated me. The holidays were extremely hard for me. He would humor me on my planning, but he was content to let me do everything. He would give me input when he thought I needed it, but he knew that I loved planning our trips. We lived in Florida until 2007. So, for the first 11 years of our marriage we were at Disney nearly every chance we got. Birthdays, anniversaries or just because days. He'd come home on a Friday evening and ask if we were going to Disney. If he had the weekends off, more often than not the answer was yes. And offsite hotel from Priceline was the way to go for us back then. We had longer trips where we would stay onsite, but our annual passes definitely got a workout. LOL!!
When we moved to Alabama, our trips were longer, but further apart. Our last Disney trip as a family was in 2013. We went to Universal in 2015 for Chris' birthday. It was his choice. I gave him the choice of Disney or Universal and much to the Disney loving side of me, he picked Universal. UGH!! LOL!!
We found a hotel that was close to the parks, but not onsite. It was an amazing trip.
So, the last week has been hard on me. January 31st would have been our 21st wedding anniversary. I think that's why I've been in such a funk this week.
So, last night I was asking Chris something and he was like mom, don't get so depressed about everything. You know that dad and I didn't like planning for our trips.
Okay fine. He did ask about doing a backstage tour. We did one on our last trip and he really enjoyed it. The cost is what's prohibitive. For the three of us it would be $700....Ouch... I told Chris that and he was like, Okay, maybe not....LOL!! He'd rather do Universal instead....
So, I know this will pass, but thanks for understanding...And thanks for following along.
