Disney World here we come!!!
Grandma, Grandpa, Hope and I are all going to Disney World in December for 6 days!!!! Wahoo!! I have 2 vacations before the end of the year. Unreal! I haven't been on vacation in FOREVER!
A nearby place that does respite holds a camp called Camp Runamuk. Hope and I are going up with our respite provider in October for 4 days. Hope and I will have a suite style log cabin, we go to breakfast together, then Hope goes off with Carol and I go off and do my thing. We meet for lunch and then break again. Then we meet up for a camp fire every night. One of the nights we will go to Whiskey Row!!! (Obviously without the kids) Hope will get to go horseback riding, zip line, rock climbing wall, sports, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, etc. I will be off doing yoga, massages, lectures, discussion groups, etc. Can't wait!!! A vacation with my kid and I still get time to myself. Ahh! Sigh of relief!
While we are at Disney World, Scott reassured me that him and Michelle would come play with us too. Can't wait! It will be nice to have Hope see them again since I can't convince them to move back here.
We are settling back into our room. Mya slept in her big girl bed last night. We start potty training in the next couple of days. Hope is excited to teach her and help her with her watch. I bought a watch that looks like a toilet seat and it sings and lights up periodically to remind her to go to the bathroom.
I'm still biting my nails waiting for my letter to arrive from the school. Good things are happening! Thank you everyone for your continued support and prayers!

Make A Wish
The amazing guys were here last night! Such wonderful men. They brought Hope McDonalds dinner, ice cream and m&m's, balloons and a stuffed bear that holds a star and sings If you Wish Upon a Star. She chose to fly to Disney World in an air plane and stay in a hotel. The one guy, Kevin, owns a private airplane. He will be taking Hope and Grandpa on a ride once it cools down.
Paperwork is done. Rick, the other gentleman, will be dropping off all of paperwork today. Her wish needs to go in front of the board. If her wish comes true, we will be going to Disney World between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If her first wish doesn't come true, her back up wish is a tree house (aka. playground with a fort).
After our 2 years of a downward spiral, it just doesn't feel real yet. Lots of good things are happening. Thank you everyone for your prayers!
