Hello! Introductions!
Im Kathy. Been in St. Louis all of my life with the exception of 5 years spent in Columbia Missouri....graduated from Mizzou and stayed for a year working in a hospital there. This is my husband and I at a Missouri winery a couple years ago. As you can see we are big sports fans.....happy my Cardinals had such a great year and made it to the final dance!
I turned 50 last May and wanted to make WDW my birthday trip....hubby and I both knew if we went in December the weather would be milder and we could celebrate our 11th anniversary AND my birthday and sneak in some awesome Christmas celebrations to boot. Steve is my cohort. He doesnt love Disney as much as I do but hes a good sport and never once balked at any of my requests for photopass photos. Hes a gem! Steve is 4.5 years younger than me. We met at work where we are both Medical Technologists. This is a second marriage for the both of us. Our last trip to WDW was in 2004 and we brought 4 of our kids. My dd had a national dance competition in Orlando so we always used that as an excuse each year for a vacation&..the kids were ages 13, 12, 11, and 9 at the time. We had our hands full. Hormones were raging. Our patience was tested on a daily basis&&at the end of that trip hubby told me we would come back&&ALONE! Fast forward 7 years later and here we are!
