65 days to go/66 things to do

Travis and I took the kids to Kansas City over the weekend for a fun little "Spring Break vacation"
71-Kaleidoscope at the Crown Center
70--Experienced Cheesecake factory together, complete with Red velvet and Hershey's Chocolate cheesecake! :) YUMMY!!!!!
69-Swam together at the hotel pool
68- Took the kids to Disney on Ice at the Sprint Center. Toryn and I were the only 2 that thoroughly enjoyed it!! (Travis was not so thrilled to pay $12 for popcorn and $4 for a bottle of water!)
67-Went to a hockey game! EVERYONE loved it! Got to see the Tulsa Oiler's coach get thrown out of the game. Saw a bloody nose and some teeth get knocked out. Taegan caught a puck. Toryn and I were on the jumbo-tron screen!!
Good times had by all!!
Now we go back to school/work today with vacation hangovers. Do those actually exist? I say yes--I still have laundry to do. I wasn't ready to come home yet. I LOVE staying in hotels (especially on the plaza in KC). But, the time has come and we MUST go back to school today. On the bright side, only 8 more weeks of school til summer break (aka my surgery)! Well, 65 days to be exact.

The Countdown

In 75 days I will have my scoliosis surgery in St Louis. It's just now starting to hit me. I'm trying to cram in as much stuff with my family as I can. (little trips like to Kansas City, NW Arkansas with the kids, a Vegas trip with my husband and brother in law and sister in law, some park play dates, trips to Orange Leaf, pedicures,etc). Beginning in April I will start having pre-op tests (CT scan, MRI, more X-rays, blood work, etc). I know I still need to organize a schedule for child care, meals, house cleaning, etc.
Please pray for me. I'm extremely nervous. I know everything is in God's hands. He will take care of me and my family no matter what.
My goal is to do 75 things with my kids before May 30th! Today's plan: park time!
Cunningham here we come!
