We have been on the quest to complete the Disney Marathon for over a year. We have embarked on the beginning of the end of the journey. Our plan is to vlog (video blog) our trip. This is the first installment. Posted from WordPress for Android. Please excuse any typing miscues.
“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” ― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh A few days ago, I was reading through my twitter feed. It seemed as if each of my friends was complaining. Complaints about their neighbors, their co-workers, or unknown callers, professors and teachers, spouses and children…it was a smorgasbord of complaints.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!?!?! We have reached the end of summer – WHAAAAAAT? Labor Day Weekend (the unofficial end to summer) begins in a matter of hours! School started back this week (at least for my neighbors kids – check local listings for times and days in your area). All of which leads me to the classic question: What did you do this summer? For me it was a busy summer.
