One Week

Well, here we are. A week before I embark on one of the biggest adventures of my life. And I have yet to pack! Oops. But I guess I should explain what this big, grand adventure is. Back in September, September 10th to be exact, I applied to the Disney College Program. I would be lying if I said I didnt do it out of spite. My brother had just passed away less than a month ago, I hated being at school with a passion, and to top it off the one thing I needed to be stable (soccer) was going horribly horribly wrong. But that's a post for a different day. So, when I got the email that Disney was accepting applications for the spring semester I filled it out almost immediately.  When I say almost, I filled my water bottle and grabbed a granola bar and an apple before sitting down to do it. I called my Mom later that night to tell her. The application process flew by. Before I knew it I was scheduling my phone interview. Phone interview done and over with, now begins the waiting game. On September 27 I open my "Congratulations! " email saying that I had been accepted for an attractions role in the spring semester. I called my parents crying and later that night accepted my position to work at Walt Disney World.

Fast forward through the crying phone call home to ask if I should accept or not and I am now faced with having to tell my team, coach, and friends that I am leaving after finals. After many mixed emotions/ responses, here we are a week before I leave and I'm excited as all heck!

Things may not have gone the way my family planned last year, but when in life does anything go according to plan? 2014 HAS to be better than 2013. There is no way it could possibly be worse. After what God has done with my family, he must be about to move mountains for us. That is the only logical explanation.

Until next time, which will probably be when I get down to the sunshine state... #doitforCJ

Kids peeing in bushes, Make A Wish, and adorable little kids.

Another week at The Seas has come and gone, which brings me one week closer to being home on the couch with my puppy. I challenge anyone to try and come between me and Budweiser, it won't happen. This week was full of adorable little kids, and not so adorable older little kids. In a turtle talk show this week, Crush asked a little girl where she was from (meaning where do you live) and out of the most adorable, probably 3 year old, mouth came "mommy and daddy". Wise beyond her years ;) Hysterical laughing overtook the theater that day. And in another not hysterically funny moment I had to ask a family to not allow their 7 year old son to "go" in the bushes. I wish I was lying, and I honestly wish he would have been more discrete about the situation so I wouldn't have had to address it. But no, this little boy stood on a ledge probably 4ft high, pulled down his pants and took care of business relieving himself. I don't understand people. On another ...

Nightmares

You know when you were little and a bad dream would wake you in the middle of the night your parents would comfort you and remind you it wasn't real and you would go back to sleep? In this bad dream... there is no comforting (because my parents aren't here, and I can guess they have a similar reoccurring dream at times) and it WAS real. The dream happened again last night.... Every so often I stir like crazy throughout the night as August 13th replays over and over in my dreams. I can picture pulling into the driveway after work, my phone ringing, it was the Doctor's office... the same doctor who would later that night deliver CJ.... the nurse was calling to tell me that everything at my yearly apt went well and they look forward to seeing me again. It didn't cross her mind that I was related to another patient of theirs and what I was about to walk into when I went inside. (I just realized this may be the first time I've shared this piece of t...

#doitforCJ

Because I refer to him often and use #doitforCJ daily, it's only appropriate to explain who CJ is and what the hash tag is. In August of 2013 my Mom delivered the most beautiful baby boy I have ever seen. His chubby cheeks and adorable button nose, all 3lbs 10oz of him were perfect. Except... Christian was still born. He never took a breath but instead was given his angel wings earlier than expected. I will never forget holding my little man in my arms. He was simply perfect and will always hold a place in my heart. I will never love a man the way I love my little brother. I am forever grateful that I had the opportunity to hold and whisper secrets to him. That's a moment that no one will ever be able to take away from me. I spoke about the things that Christian taught me at his funeral. Let that sink in for a moment. I, his older sister, spoke about the things he taught me and he never even took a breath. He taught me to be patient, waiting for his arrival was driving me ...
