Surprise Visits!

GUYS!! I SAW MY BEST FRIENDS THIS WEEK! Did you feel the excitement there? I hope so, because I don't know how else to convey it to you. Two unplanned visits happened this week and I couldn't be more thankful that those people are in my life. They have supported me through some pretty tough times the last year and have continued to be by my side through this adventure while many others have decided to take a seat in the back.

Tuesday night I was fortunate enough to see best friend #1, on a visit we thought would not happen. But things worked themselves out and said person made their way to the sunshine state for a far too quick visit, but I am so very grateful for those hours. Thursday morning I get a text while cleaning the apartment that best friend #2 and her boyfriend were in Disney World for the day. Of course I had to work but I made my way to Magic Kingdom after work where we were able to stand around and talk while the Electric Light Parade passed us. Both visits were short and sweet but meant so much to me that said people went out of there way to visit me.

I'm telling you, you find out who your real friends are on your 21st birthday (any birthday really), when something tragic happens, and when you move away. All three have happened in the last year and all three of these people who came this week have been there for me every step of the way. Couldn't be more thankful for them.

While talking to my Mom this week I realized that Special Needs kids really have a huge place in my heart. There was an incident, and ill leave it at that, at work where the R word was used and my heart ached, and still does. It was after that moment and what lead up to the use of the word by a coworker, that I realized there are two types of kids who I want to help when I finally have my degree. In the next year I hope to really learn more about myself and learn what path I should be on. The future is a bright but scary place for me. I feel like I have some of the pieces lined up and things should start to fall into place but its going to take getting there to know what will really happen.

One week of work until my family gets here and I couldn't be more excited! This week when you see the girl in line for coffee who looks like she hasn't slept in a week, say a prayer for her. You don't know what she's going through. And when you do it..... #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 ...

Let's get down to business....

Six weeks of Disney adventures in the books! Crazy! I got here in January and its MARCH! So lets get down to business about week 6. (Did you catch my Disney reference there?!) The wonderful last few days of Feb and first few days of March left me speechless. I wish I was kidding. I literally lost my voice Tuesday. And that's really where our week 6 story begins. Tuesday was chaos. Everything (well almost everything) that can happen in a building, happened at Nemo while I was there. An hour into the day we were explaining to guests that we couldn't find Crush, AKA Turtle Talk went down and maintenance was busy trying to solve the problem. This of course happens right before we are supposed to load the theater and have 210 people waiting to get in. That show gets delayed. Next show time rolls around, and we now have almost all 210 people still waiting, plus have people already lined up for the next show. We then announce that we are still in delay. Commence unhappy guests. I s...

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...
