For the last two months, we have been keeping the biggest surprise from the kids and let me tell you, it was hard!!! About two months ago, my mom surprised us by telling us that she wanted to take us all to Disney World for Christmas. We knew that the kids would be so excited but wanted to wait and tell them until Christmas Eve night. Santa came to our house while we were at church. When we got home there was a gift that said, " Open last". Inside the gift were Mickey shirts, and items that had Mickey on them. Wrapped was the can that they have been putting money in for four years. Inside the can was a note from Mickey. Here is the video of them finding out, it is priceless...
To say the least, we had a wonderful time. We got back late last night and I can tell you, it really is the most magical place on Earth. I will be updating my blog in a few days with pictures and details of our trip.
I have decided to start a blog. I am not on Facebook so this will be a way for me to let friends and family know what is going on in my life. I have titled it the M&M's of Life because the four "M words" I chose are defining areas of my life. I chose "Mary" because that is my spiritural side. "Martha" is for my unsucessful attempt at trying to keep my home and family at some level of sanity. I tend to be a woman who really has great intentions of being organized, cooking four nights a week and keeping up with laundry, but by Wednesday, I tell myself, " I will start again Monday". Marriage is one of my passions, marriage ministry to be more specific. Motherhood is my greatest accomplishment and what motivates me to strive to become a better person. I hope you will join me as I do my best at working out this thing called life.
