i don't know how to even start this post. maybe i can announce that i finally started budgeting and it's absolutely fantastic knowing where my money is going? that's pretty great. really though, i've always dreaded finances, but now i'm empowered! go me!
anyway, off to the exciting. last week we went to disneyworld for a family reunion. it was so great. so so so great. we also went to hogwarts, where i drank a butterbeer or two at the three broomsticks (nbd). it's bad when you want your third butterbeer before noon, but it's also oh so good. SO GOOD. BUTTERBEER IS SO GOOD. my bank statement says that i spent some money at zonko's joke shop, so that's pretty neat, i think? the hogwarts castle tour was cool. the people in portraits moved and talked, and it literally snowed in the castle. i loved seeing all the harry potter candy in honeyduke's, and seeing the wizard prank items for sale in zonko's. also, it totally cracked me up that moaning myrtle's voice is played throughout the bathroom.
disney world is wonderful. there's that disney magic that just made the whole experience so fun. i loved hanging out with all the nieces and nephews, and seeing their reactions. everything was perfect. also, i became one of those instagram-ers that take pictures of food. mikie and i went out to downtown disney one night for some dinner. we came across this little irish pub and ordered the best cheeseburgers of our life. (tomato chutney, garlic mayo, and irish cheese. it was heavenly.)
thanks for all the fun, familia. we miss everybody already! and once again, extra thanks to mark + lisa for making it all happen. we love you guys.
