Dreams really do come true!!! (Just kidding) But, really I have been absolutely dying to go to Florida and to all the parks down there. It is so accessible to us here on the east coast. Even with the cheap air fare and short plane ride, it does still cost money, which we don't have. Well, I was getting dinner ready a couple of weeks ago and had the Ellen show on when I heard a commercial for a contest to win a trip to Universal studios in Florida. I just thought I was being funny and decided to enter online. What do you know - I WON!!! There was a lot of chaos trying to get all the legal paper work in, and prove I live in Delaware, but it's all taken care of now. The trip is for next week, I can hardly wait! We get it all payed for(except food)and we get tickets to the parks and to the taping of the Ellen show in Universal Studios. The hotel looks awesome, it's actually in the park. I have a WONDERFUL mother-in-law that is flying out a few days earlier than her original trip date to come stay with Rani. We really debated on wehter or not to take her. Danny is so funny, he said -"maybe we should do it as a family vacation, Stace. We don't leave family members behind". I love it! (He absolutely loves his Rani) Anyway, I'm so excited. Danny and I have been in desperate need of a date, let alone a trip! I'm a firm believer in entering contests now! I'll be sure to post pictures when we get back. Yay!!!
We finally got our new camera! It was such nice wether the other day and actually felt like spring, so I took some pictures. Rani had so much fun playing outside, now she stands at the glass doors and bangs on them and then looks at me and signs "more". She's so funny, I can't wait for more nice days to go outside and take advantage of the yard before we have to move :(!

Kaylen an Marisa came up last sunday to say hi and decided they needed to give themselves pedicures. Rani was sooo interested and HAD to do it too. So I gave her a cotton pad too. She sat down and watched the girls. pretty soon I look over at her and she is taking her sock off and rubbing the cotton on her toes too! She is such a girl!

No way! I never win contests but you have encouraged me to never give up. I saw you mom the other day and she said she was getting ready for a trip to visit you guys. Have a Wonderful time!!! Don't feel guilty about having alone time- I think it's the best way to keep your marriage going strong!!!
