DH is a 1st grade teacher. I am a certified teacher, but at this time Im working as a child care specialist and I also teach 2 night computer classes. DH and I have been together since the summer before my freshman year in highschool. We started our family very young, but looking back at things, we wouldnt change anything.
Our kids are into many sports and keep us very busy, we love it, cant stand to be at home much anyways! We are all Disney addicts, actually today I asked our 2.5 yr old what she wanted to do to day and she says "hmmm (while tapping chin), lets go to Disney World!" I laugh and tell her she will have to tak that up with her father, she then says "ok Ill check with him". She is a character and everyday consists of some kind of Disney story, real or makebelieve. She has been 4 times so far and Im planning our next one now.

We have been to Disney 4 times. I never thought i would ever get there. DH took me the summer i got laid off. I balled most of the time! DH had been as a kid a few times. We planned on going every 5 years after but made an exception for DStepS. He was being re assigned out of the country so we went over Christmas last year. It was nice but very busy. My kids love it but they will not admit it. Would like to go again in 5 years when DStepS comes home and all the kids are out of school.

We have been married for 7 years. Love at first sight for real. We got engaged after 2.5 months while dating long distance. I never questioned what I was doing. I packed up and moved to Chicago. Best decision I ever made. I could not ask for a better husband or father.

I had been to Disney 2 times when I was 11 and 12.
Went for the first time as an adult when we were expecting our first child Have been no where else on vacation since then. I had a friend say "welcome to the cult" I can't think of anyplace else I would like to go.

Luckily my husband loves it as much as I do.
