You guys know more about eachother than just that you all want to go to Disney World. That is pretty awesome to me. So I figured hey why not let me go ahead and introduce myself and let you all know about me My mother was diagnosed with a very bad disease and I wish I could tell you what it was but I can't remember the name of it. I can describe it so if anyone wants to know what it is let me know. Anyways the drs gave her 2 years to live well shes been alive for about 5 years now since that news. Shes still going strong, but I know that she is not doing great. Last year she took my kids to Disney World b/c she really wanted something that they would remember her by. This next year April 2011 we are planning a surprise trip to Disney World for my girls. I am paying for this trip she is just paying for the plane tickets. She has always talked about staying at animal kingdom lodge, and so this is where I would like to stay. Well let me just tell you I live day to day b/c I am a waitress but I am going to make this work. I have given up a lot, and I have even decided to quit smoking. All to surprise my mother with a stay at animal kingdom lodge. I am looking forward to this trip and I hope I can achieve my goal. Ok on to the next thing my daughters are 5 and 4 right now but they will be 7, and 5 when we leave. My oldest turns six on march 22nd, and my youngest will turn 5 on June 15th. I am a waitrees at Ihop, but I am hoping to go back to school in the fall. I also watch my niece full time. So I never get a day off. If you want to know anything more feel free to ask. Sorry this was so long.
