Well, after quite a bit of time, I've finally decided the direction of my blogs. Yes, I said blogS. It took me a while to decide what I want to talk about in my blogs. Honestly, after reading so many of them (thanks to Pinterest), I was beginning to wonder if the wonderful world of the Internet even needed another blog, or heaven forbid, TWO! It takes me a while to ponder things and wrap my brain totally around which way I should go. After thinking about this off and on, I came to a few conclusions: 1) I want to write about the things about which I am passionate. 2)I do not want my blogs to become a chore, one more thing to do! 3) I can not allow my blogging to interfere with my spiritual, parental, or professional goals. 4) My blogging is about me and my thoughts. I see it as an outlet to get out my random thoughts. Maybe those who read my blogs can relate to some of my random musings. Then again, maybe not. Regardless, I like the idea of putting my thoughts about my interests, at least some of them, in print.
So, after all that thinking and pondering, here's what I decided: I will have two blogs, one about Disney and one about teaching. I will write about what strikes me at the time, thereby the word "Ramblings" in the title. So, here goes....my adventures in blogging! Oh, and if you'd like to read my ramblings about teaching, click here for my other blog. (Maybe eventually I'll figure out how to add a button on the side of this blog for my other one!)
And just a small disclaimer to those who are wondering why I am not blogging about motherhood: it's not that I'm not passionate about being a mother or that I wouldn't like to talk about my beautiful, smart, funny, sincere, and kindhearted daughter. I just don't feel that it would be appropriate to share our mother/daughter relationship with anyone and everyone! So, onward and upward!

Yes, another Disney blog! °o°

Just a dreamin'...
Regardless of how I'm criticized for it, my vacation wish every year since 2008 has been anything Disney. It's not looking too good for a Disney vacation this year so I've started to think about what we might be able to arrange for next year.
My dad is planning to retire in November of this year. My whole family is excited about this event because he works a job that is very physically demanding. On Mondays, for example, he gets up at 2:30 am and he usually gets home from work around 5:00 pm. Hats off to him, I say, because I know that I couldn't do his job, not even if I had a "normal" right foot! So, needless to say, he'll have a lot more time to travel.
A few months ago, my dad had an idea that we should go on a big family vacation driving across country to see my brother, Mark, who lives in California. I was excited about this idea and then my dad suggested a 2-3 week trip to Disney World after Mark expressed a desire to visit Disney World since he's been to Disneyland but not to Disney world. I mean, is he for real? I'm still not sure if my dad is serious about this plan to visit Disney but I nevertheless I've still started to plan it as much as a can for the summer of 2012.
After looking at 2011 prices, we're thinking we might plan a cruise for earlier in the year (cheaper) and then a two-week trip to Disney World in the summer. It's all still up in the air for now, but one thing is for sure: I'M GOING TO DISNEY NEXT YEAR!

We interrupt this reflection time to introduce you to Wally and Tiffany, two new characters created by Peyton and I during our quality time together earlier today.
(I'm currently editing the video that I made of her making Tiffany. Will upload it when it's finished.)
