My hubby and I have always had a good marriage, but I think after 12 1/2 years with no vacations, we were just worn out. We fought a bit, nothing to divorce over, but it was weighing a bit on my heart. We had nothing to look forward to other than everyday home life, which can be wonderful, but also routine. My parents decided to take our 5 kids to Disney when I was 32. I had wanted to go my whole life. They said we could go too, so we did. We did not realize what we were missing out on. Disney made us so happy. I think it was just that we worked so hard all the time. He does construction and not only works for a company, but owns his own company. I teach karate, am a homemaker, I homeschool, I coupon (which is almost a full time job sometimes), run a small side business, and train for my second degree black belt. We were just VERY tired. Now we have something to look forward to and plan as a family. We love talking about remembering, and planning Disney. We are about to celebrate 14 years, and we are rekindling some of what gets lost after the newlywed phase of marriage ends. There is just something about being there that makes our hearts happy. It extends to the times we are back at home b/c we know we WILL get to back. Before we didn't have that. It was just, everyday get up, work, work, work. Do you understand what I mean? I love the freedom that Disney gives us from the pressures of everyday life. We are free there. And that makes all the other days easier.
