150 Days!

This past weekend at the Twin's party, with everyone talking about their trip to Disneyland in May, Matt and I got bit by the Disney Bug. Wait...we always have the Disney Bug but we want to go NOW. Like we wish we were there yesterday so when we woke up today we would be at the Anabella getting ready to go to Disneyland! The air crisp with butterflies in our tummies because we were so excited. *sigh*...I can feel it now!

We've had our trip planned for August for a while now because it is in between camps for me. I purposely did not schedule camps that week so we could go to Disneyland. Last month we were sad and thought we were going to have to cancel...NOPE! :) Trip back on! We are so so excited!!!

Just 150 more days! That will go fast, right?

EEeeee!! So excited! 150 more days until we get to be this excited again :)

{this was me saying "Matt take a picture of how excited I am going in for the first time!!"} ha!

{we were exhausted but full of adrenaline!}

I want TODAY to be 150 days from now so we can be there!

....I should be getting ready. Class starts in 50 minutes and I still have a towel on my head. :)
Have a good day everyone, think happy thoughts!

Disney Love.

I saw this on Pinterest this morning and I love it.
Matt will always be my best friend and it's so much fun sharing our love for all things Disney.
Having Matt as my husband, I have learned so much about Disney! I thought I knew a ton before I met him...ha! He teaches me about the history of Disney and also about whats new and about things that haven't even happened up. I read my blogs...he reads Disney blogs. I love him so freakin' much! 



(This picture was 3 years and 3 months ago...we just did the math and both got really sad. Matt bought me my first Original Mickey Ears this day. We played tourists. I always had Eeyore or Tinkerbell stuff growing up because they were my favorite) 

{this picture was right before we were about to walk into Disneyland for the first time together} 
{my first time ever}

{woke up at 4am to get on a 6am flight so we could have another full day at the parks...stayed til' park close, hence Matt's bloodshot eyes...so worth it!}

Tomorrow's date night....drumroll please....

The Disney Store and Beauty and the Beast 3-D at the theater!!
We frequent The Disney Store as a date. 
Like, "Honey! Do you want to go to The Disney Store tonight?!" (this question comes from both of us) 
(That's as close as we get to the real thing for now.)
I'm super excited...and, anything in 3-D always = photos like this...



Hehe, have a good day everyone! I just taught some pretty darn cute little 2 year olds all morning...time to go cut some fabric. Tutu Making Party here at our house on Saturday with 7 dance moms! Yay!

Yay! Big News!

No, we are not having a baby lol.
But one step closer (the financial-savings step)

I got the job!!!!!!
My business just grew :) Beginning in January, Emerald City Dance will be not only partnering with the Issaquah Community Center, but also with Sammamish Children's School. I will be teaching a 3-5 year olds Creative Movement Dance Class on Tuesdays before my classes in Issaquah. 

They handle billing and will be paying me. It's a lot and we're pretending we don't have it....

ALL SAVINGS! 
We are so excited about this. I have been dreaming of the day we would have money in our savings account since we moved here and now it is going to happen. (It is super close to happening with what we have now) So this is just a cherry on top! A BIG cherry. I want nothing more than for us to be out of debt so we can work towards saving for a down payment on a house. Living in Issaquah, our down payment will have to be pretty large and has always seemed like something impossible...not anymore!! 

I prayed for this. God heard me. I love God. 
So theres that. I'm super excited!

*Side Story*
Yesterday I had an awful yucky day. The only time I managed a smile was while I was teaching because, well, it's impossible to NOT smile when I'm with them. It was a dreary day, super Seattle-y. 
Today was really nice out, super not-seattle-y. 

Anyways, I read my email. Ran and basically tackled Matt in excitement about the news giving him a jump hug lol, and what does he say, "Man, why couldn't today have been a dreary day!"
:'( 
I immediately was caught off guard and hurt. I ran off and burst in tears 
(this is not uncommon around here). 
I thought Matt meant he wished it was dreary because I got overly excited and he was annoyed.
NO...(I really need to remember that not everyone thinks I'm annoying).
He meant he wishes today was the dreary day instead of yesterday so that I would have had a reason to be happier yesterday instead of today when I already had a fabulous day.
Man...I need to chill OUT sometimes.
And...I have the best husband in the world.  

Good news day!! We are so happy and I can't wait to start teaching some more little ones : )

Sorry I've been MIA, I was feeling like I was beginning to write some boring blogs. 

Tonight we're going to be picking out Matt's classes for this next quarter. We saved enough that he can take 3...full time! Yay! I'm so excited for him :) 

Ok, time to go finish my Water for Elephants on my Kindle before the library takes it away :( 

I hope everyone enjoyed this wonderful day as much as we did!
(OH...Almost forgot!!--we bought Kinect Disneyland today and have been playing non stop. It's as close as we're going to get to Disneyland until August and it actually may work in holding us over...SO awesome!)

Love,
