THE DEHAVEN FAMILY

We are a military family, just beginning our lives in this whole new adventure! My husband, Matt, is in the U.S. Navy and works as a hospital corpsman. We have two beautiful daughters, Finley, 5 and Charli Lyn, 20 months. We feel so blessed to have each other and to take on this new lifestyle together.

A little family getaway!

As we are preparing for Matt to leave here in about 12 days, we decided to do a little spontaneous trip. We decided to head out this Friday for the weekend and head to Orlando, our favorite place to go, Disney! The girls we knew would be so excited! We have chose to keep this little trip a secret from Finley so that she would be so surprised. We love seeing her face light up when we talk about trips to Disney. She truly believes that place is the most magical place in the world and its so sweet. On Sunday, we bought our tickets and Matt decided it was a good time to tell Fin so that she would have something really fun and exciting to look forward too and have a little countdown for the week. When we told her, she was just over the moon and couldnt be more surprised! She was totally excited and jumped up and down, screaming and yelling, in a good way! Then we broke the news that Nana was going to go with us too!! That really lit up her world! We are still waiting to hear if Papa can go or if he cant. Finley is really hoping for the go!! lol.
I am feeling like a kid in candy store too with this little weekend trip. I love doing spontaneous things like this, especially now that we are losing Daddy soon for a while. It helps make the memories and times better and stronger. We are just going to forget everything and leave it in South Carolina and just bring ourselves, smiles, and energy to Disney. I just cant wait to relax and have fun and feel there is not a care in the world, a feeling I long for, since I'll be a nervous wreck the next 9 months. I know Matt feels the same way and I'm sure his feelings are a little more intense than mine. So, lets get this weekend underway! I want us to enjoy ourselves no matter what and live life together! I'm sure that the girls feel the same way, although they probably cant describe it like that. So Disney, here come the DeHaven's!!!!
