Take Two

I'm going to give this blog another shot. It lasted, what? All of 3 posts! Even my Livejournal has been neglected in the past year or so as I'm not sure I have anything interesting to say. I am hoping my life will soon be more interesting, though!

So in the last year, not much has happened. My last post left off with the Rays, who did make it to the World Series for the first time. Mark and I were at Disney World when we found out they were going. We probably should have gone to the game instead! Hindsight. Anyway, they are doing good this year, but not great. Still hoping we can pull off a spot in the playoffs!

My best friends are both getting married this year. The first wedding is in California, in about 6 weeks, and I am driving myself crazy with anticipation. I love to travel, the problem is that I don't really get to do it! We go to Orlando, we go to Atlanta. Last year we really broke tradition and went to Tennessee for Thanksgiving, only because my father-in-law recently moved there. I have not flown anywhere since 1997. This flying thing is really getting to me. I'm not scared, per se, but I have a desperate need to know exactly what to expect at every point in the process. Thus leads to my constant Googling and Flickring and other noun-to-verbing that is somewhat all-consuming. And it didn't help that Delta changed our flight schedule AND the type of planes, of course after I spent countless hours researching the original plane seat layouts and pictures of the interiors and pretty much everything else that is even remotely related to a Delta Boeing 767, steerage class. And don't even get me started on rental cars! I'm just praying that what we have reserved will work out at the price it's reserved for.

So, we fly to San Francisco on September 16th. On the 18th, we drive to Yosemite National Park and check in at Tenaya Lodge. My friend gets married on the 19th at Glacier Point, which from what I can tell is a cliff. On a mountain. Foreign concepts to a Floridian. The next day, we drive to the O.C. and hopefully check-in at Laguna Cliffs, pending me actually reserving a room there using my secret weapon, Priceline (Name your own price)! We are actually going to freaking Disneyland. We have discussed going to other parks for the last 7 years or so, basically when we started going to WDW, but it never seemed like something that would actually happen. Some far off future event that you talk about, but somewhat never expect to happen - like winning the lottery.

In other news, I'm starting my MSN in August. Mark graduates with his MA next Sunday, he got two adjunct teaching jobs at colleges here to start this fall, we are possibly going to be buying a house pretty soon, and I think we are about ready to try for el bebeh. All of a sudden I feel somewhat like a grown up!
