Little "piece" of Mind

The countdown begins. Well, actually I've been counting for months and months but we are in the home stretch now.

This time, 5 days from now we will be in Daytona and I can NOT wait. I need some rest and relaxation, a little time away from the real world. A small break from the last few weeks and months.

I remember the first "family" trip to Daytona, we had a lot of fun. We took the girls to Disneyworld. I got my first experience at the Daytona Speedway, it was amazing inside and the track was so awesome to see. The best part of that trip, though was that my amazing husband (then boyfriend) made me so happy and proposed.

Most would think of a proposal at Daytona Speedway as redneck, I mean, I can hear it now, "You might be a redneck if you get engaged where NASCAR events are held." Hahaha, I get it. To me though, that was the PERFECT place. My man knows what I love and he made sure to cater to that for me.

Here is a picture of my ring that he took after he proposed:

That was so special to me. That was August of 2007, and we were married May 1, 2010. He is so amazing, we have our ups and downs but we are made for each other.

So we have been to Daytona two times, and we went to Myrtle Beach last year, so back to Daytona we go. And leaving isn't coming fast enough! Come on Saturday morning. Just 5 more days.
