I needed this day. It was a day filled with joy. With fun. A bit of pride and relieve and forgiveness. It gives me hope that valleys aren't always as deep as I make them seem.
Lately, my sweet little world has been a mix of frustration and worry. It was just about to turn from frusturating into overwhelming but then this day happened. It started out a bit rough. And didn't seem to be on the track to get better...but it did! And I'm grateful! John and I met up with my sister and spent the day at Disneyland. Yesterday was by-far the best day I've ever had at Disneyland! I was sad that Matthew couldn't be there to see John enjoy DLand in a way he never had before, but he was busy killing it at work! I am so proud of him (more on that in a minute)!
We did so much. Enjoyed all the musical shows in Disney California and met lots of characters. All of which John seemed to love...especially Mickey. We also got to enjoy Disney's Halloween Carnival where John got to spend some special one on one time with Mickey. Seriously. Mickey walked right up to John and they hugged, kissed and John spent a lot of time honking Mickeys nose. It was precious and I have no pictures to show...but that moment is one I won't soon forget!
Anyway, my day at Disney in photos:
So, obviously, my day was amazing. But it gets better! We came home and John officially started saying "mama" and even though he's been walking for awhile he has finally learned to stand up without any help from me or the furniture! So proud of my boy! I put the baby down to bed, ordered a pizza for dinner, it arrived before Matthew did from work so I dug in and ate while I watched Parks and Rec. Aaahhh, sweet relaxation. Matthew finally comes homes (with surprise! A slurpee for me!) and tells me he is killing it in his recent promotion to lead and is the only lead being trained for supervisor. I love that man and how awesome he is at his job. So proud of my main squeeze.
Yep. A day like this was so needed.
