Disney

I love Disney!  I thought I was done going as the last time we went as a family our experience was not up to par.  There was a lot of construction last time and we were just not happy.  Also, too many school groups with NO supervision made our time very challenging to say the least.  However, my sister and brother in-laws have a little one that they wanted to take to the parks.  Years ago, I said I would attend and be like a "nanny" for them so they could enjoy some rides that Teegan couldn't go on and so forth.  Well back in November we booked a trip for 1st week in April.  Just a Monday-Saturday.  We would just go into the main parks, no water parks.  So April 1st Bill and I boarded a flight to Orlando where we would meet up with the family.
This is only the 2nd time I have stayed on property.  Let me just say - it was fantastic!!!  I really thought I was going to hate not being able to come and go as I please but have to be at the mercy of the bus/transportation system that Disney provides.  Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease and the joy of it all.
Two things we did was - stay in a suite at Art of Animation and purchased the meal plan.  I recommend both.
Here are some photos of our time spent there.  Good time!  I want to go back!  AHHHH!

This was considered a snack

As was this.  They were at Epcot

Butterfly garden

This too was a snack.  We ate wonderfully.  Disney does a great job on flavor taste and quality.  It is a wonder we didn't return gaining weight.

New Building

Our church has been renovating a new rental space for our worship meeting on Sundays.  We will be able to call the space our own and it really has been a long time coming.  We were finally able to get into the space.  Woop!!!

Philadelphia Flower Show

Never been before but glad we experienced it at least one time.  The Flower Show in Philly was a fun time.  Bill, Abs, Josh, and I all went down on a Saturday in March.

February 2019

February had some fun highlights.  Towards the end we got to celebrate Bill turning 50!!!  Age is but a number.

As I was going through some files to shred, came upon these certificates from when we went to Disney World!!!!

Was going through old photos with Bill's mom and Abby and we found this gem of Bill.  (He looks so much like my Josh)!

She doesn't like cake - so donuts it is!

Happy girl!

I love eating breakfast out.  This cup is from Pretty Bird Coffee.  It is delicious.

This dessert is from Charcoal.

Purging some books - well not really passing them along to another family in the church to enjoy.
