Disney - 3rd time!

So we are so spoiling Allie on her Disney trips! 

Nick is going to a conference in Tampa this fall and when Southwest open their flight schedule for November today...it was $100 cheaper to fly into Orlando over Tampa (distance btwn the two cities are 1.5 hours)...  $83/flight into Orlando vs $210/flight into Tampa...  So we decide to hit Orlando for the weekend before Nick's conference and take our two little girls to Disney!  Allie's 3rd and Baby W's 1st!  Hilton points are hooking us up with a rooms for free.  And we are hoping to get some Disney connections from Leigh's old co-workers.  LOVE when trips fall into our budget!!

I am SO excited for Allie to meet Mickey and Tinker Bell, her 2 favorite Disney characters :)

Disney November 2013!  The Wards are coming back!!

WOMEN!

"The moment I emerged from my mother's womb, however, my possibilities dwarfed those of my siblings, for I was a boy! And my brainy, personable, and good-looking siblings were not. My parents would love us equally, and our teachers would give us similar grades. But at every turn my sisters would be told -- more through signals than words -- that success for them would be "marrying well." I was meanwhile hearing that the world's opportunities were there for me to seize. " - Warren Buffett

So I am usual not the feminist, but Warren Buffett wrote a very compelling article on WOMEN on where we were and where we are going!  I think it is awesome that we are giving the guys a run for their money on taking on more of those leadership positions in the workforce.  My company, Nelnet, has created lots of cool leadership training/groups for us women to focus on us advancing.  Love how more and more companies are realizing we are a huge asset to this society!

Who knows, this working mom thing, might be the calling I never thought I had!
