Can you believe there are only two and a half weeks til Thanksgiving? My schedule is kind of busy between now and then. Currently my dad is in the hospital having some breathing problems so please say a prayer that they will get things sorted out. We also have 3 Disney days coming up! This Friday evening we will be covering Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. Then next week we pop over to Epcot on Tuesday to spend time with our friend from Philadelphia who will be visiting with his family. On Saturday we go back to the Magic Kingdom to hang with our Canadian friends! Yes, it was much easier when we all coordinated our vacation times but I am happy just to get to spend time with my friends. In the middle of all of that Jordan comes home from the mission field…and he is staying home. He has accepted a tech internship at a local church and he will be going back to college, so my nest won’t be empty any more 🙂
Welcome to the 112nd week of Turn It Up Tuesday! We had quite an amazing week last week, and it’s because of all of you! We are so happy to have you all join us for another amazing week!
Turn It Up Tuesdays is all about being happy, excited, energetic…and having fun! Link up all of your favorite posts (old or new) and meet some awesome bloggers in return! Link up your funny stories, DIY posts, recipes, mommy moments — anything at all. We want to laugh, be entertained, be inspired, and have a good time! Thanks so much to everyone that joins us each week and makes this link party the best that it could be!
