This is my first Wish Journal. In fact...I really have no idea what I am doing. I was not even sure where to PUT this!
It is sort of a pre-trip report. More on that in a sec...
But it is more of a journal...so I put it here with the WISH Journals.
But to understand why I am here...I must take you back a few months. And to take you back, well, you would need to have some clue who is writing all of this stuff!
I am Maroo! Short...well, long...for Mary! I am single...30 something years old...and I have a considerable amount of work to do before I can consider myself "healthy!"
I found the Disboards when I was helping my good friends plan a trip to Disney World. We ended up going on a wonderful Wish Trip. Not W.I.S.H...but Wish...Confused? Well, I was too. In fact, in researching that trip, I thought this board was about Wish trips. Our trip was a Make A Wish trip.
My dear friend, Lauren - daughter of my dear friend, Lisa - was granted a trip with the Make A Wish Foundation (MAW). MAW grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. We took that trip in October. To Disney, of course!
You can read all about it here:
The Rainbow Wish Trip Report
In fact...to understand the "rainbow" part of this deal, you would need to start there!
So, I will assume you read it...What, you didn't read it?!?!?! I understand! I will recap some of that trip on this journal...at some point...so if you don't have time to read all of that, I understand! You can still join me on this journey.
So...where are we going?
Well...for one thing...I am GOING to lose some weight! YES! I am going to lose some weight!
I know some people go into detail about where they are now in this area...but, uh, I am shy about that...so, maybe later! Suffice to say...I have plenty I need to lose!
My second goal...is to get healthy! To exercise more! And I have discovered something about myself through this process of planning a Wish trip...I LOVE DISNEY!!!
And I will do almost anything to get back to Disney World.
I proved this point when I asked my friend, Lisa, to join me on a trip back to Disney. Not for the great food...although, I do plan to eat while I am there! And not for the wonderful rides...or characters...or magical moments or anything else that represents Disney....
I asked my friend to join me in a race. That is right, my friend! I can barely jog around the block...and I am committed to a race!
Tower of Terror...to be exact. October 24, 2009!
And then...the Half-Marathon in 2010!!
So...that is where I am going...want to join me on this journey?
