adding salt to my wound

It was to be the most perfect vacation ever. A trip to Disney World and a Shuttle Launch all in the same week. I had turned into an OCD planner, so unlike myself, and mapped out all the trip's details. Right down to what setting my camera was going to be on and ready to go the minute I heard the NASA man say over the loud speaker, "Lift Off, We Have Lift Off."

So you can only imagine my devastation when I found out just days before we were to leave the launch had been scratched and reassigned to April 5th! Even more devastating was the fact that this was to be one of the last Shuttle Launches before the fleet is retired later this year. So now in defeat I ripped out the shuttle section of my planner that I had worked so hard at creating and told myself, "get over it, life goes on. You win some and you lose some right?" (Ya Right) We were going to Disney World for freaking sake.

Well fast forward to today I wake up and begin my morning routine of getting the kids fed and happy, coffee poured, and laptop open and ready to go. And what is the first thing I see...the most amazing photos of what was to be myyyyy launch.



Two of my most favorite things together in the same photo! Absolutely breathtaking yet salt has now been added to my wound. "Just relax and breathe." I keep telling myself, "This too shall pass."
