the first is that my entire immediate family will be coming to california for christmas! i'm excited to take kendyl (who just started kindergarten) to disneyland, excited for our side trip to yosemite, and excited that they will all get to see what my life has been like for the last two (in october) years. it's going to be a non-traditional christmas, but i am sooo excited, and so thankful that they are willing to make the financial sacrifices to make it happen.
the second is that i scored, and i still don't know how, amazing tickets for an insanely low amount of frequent flyer miles to visit germany in november. seriously - those of you who are familiar with frequent flyer miles will know that 40k miles, roundtrip, is both a thing of beauty and a thing of legend, never before proven. for perspective's sake (and i actually feel really bad about this), it took 60k miles each ticket for my family members to come out to ca in december.
i'll be spending a few days with my friend arika in her new home in germany, visiting places like this:
neuschwanstein castle - the inspiration for disneyland's sleeping beauty castleas an added bonus, i'll be doing a three day side trip to venice, seeing places like this:
the grand canaland, if all goes according to plan, deb will be meeting me in venice for the weekend! she and i have been attempting an italy trip now for about five years, so this will be a perfect way to break the curse and enjoy italy together for the first, but not the last, time.
i'm so thankful to have so much to look forward to!

Looks like a great trip! In Germany, see if you can't stop by Berg Eltz. It's my favorite castle in all of Europe. And like you, I've seen a lot of castles!
The fall will be such a beautiful time to be in Italy. We went one July while I was 8 months pregnant with #2 and it was WAAAYYY to hot to be comfortable.
I'm jealous! Can't wait to see all your pics. 40k is INCREDIBLE for tickets to Europe!
