When You Wish Upon A Star...Day Three

I am frightened that I'm really prepared. I have packed, repacked, shopped, re-shopped and I am certain that I have everything that we will need and not need on this trip. I am frightened because I know that there will be something, probably important, that I will remember that I didn't pack about 400 miles into the trip. It's inevitable.

Tonight, as we prepare to leave the house tomorrow, I am remembering how our true countdown began. Late in July, I made a call to secure our reservation and there was something truly magical in just talking to the uber friendly Disney agent. Maybe it was the sound byte of Cinderella's wand on the line, but something made me giddy with excitement and after I hung up, Raylen and I literally danced around the room for twenty minutes. We rushed out to the dollar store and bought poster board and Disney stickers to make a countdown calendar. Here's where we started...

And here's where we are today...

I highly recommend doing a countdown. It was something that we looked forward to doing everyday and seemed to make the days go by just a little faster.

Tomorrow's post will be coming to you from my mom's house while we have full bellies from the first Thanksgiving meal of the week. Mmm...I can already taste it!
