Dear CJ...

Dear CJ,

Hiya baby brother! Hope you're running around causing havoc in heaven. I'm sure your laughing until your belly hurts now that Joan and Robin are up there with you. I would give anything to be with you but until then I need to ask a favor... 

The holidays are coming and for any family with someone newly in heaven that can be rough. I need you to remind your family that our hearts will be heavy. Sure, it's been a year but no amount of time can take away the hurt we feel. We will always miss you and the holidays will never quite be right without you. Remind them to be gentle. Remind them to acknowledge you, hearing your name is SO much better than feeling like you are forgotten. We don't need another Christmas like last year. 

I start a new job next week, keep me motivated to work and go to school full time. Dreams only become a reality if you work towards them and the cards have finally fallen in the right way to start making that happen. When it seems like too much, push me to keep going. 

Help us to plan the party of the year for Tori and Skye in the spring. Your big sisters are people to be proud of and their accomplishments should be rewarded. Help us to not get too crazy but to also plan a party that will leave people talking. 

Push us to be anything but ordinary. Remind us to be ourselves, whatever that may be. We only get one chance to live and not only do we have to do it for ourselves but we've also made it our mission to do it for YOU! Be with us through the heart ache, the joy, the tears, the giggles and everything in between. Send us dragonflies and owls to let us know you are with us.

And last but certainly not the least important... put in a good word for us with the big man. We survived a year without you on earth. We've loved, we've hurt, we've gained friends and we've lost others. Ask for our prayers to be heard and answered. It's about time for something amazing to happen.

We miss you little man, but everyday lived is a day closer to you. I love you to heaven and back!
-Kk.

"What do you actually do all day?!"

No matter who I talk to at home I get the same question... "What do you actually do all day?!" Before I left all anyone knew was that I was working at an attraction, which seems self explanatory. You would think that saying "I work at The Seas with Nemo and Friends would be a sufficient answer, that someone would piece together that there is a ride there and that I help to operate the ride all day long. But, it isn't that simple. Bear with me here, all my "Nemo terms" are going to have to be explained so this post could end up being rather lengthy, which is not my intention. Here we go, a day in the life.... (my first official day, on my own) Woke up at 7am to be ready for a 7:40 bus. Should I have been up earlier? Yes. Did the previous days 5:15am wake up call keep me in bed longer than I wanted? Yes. But, made the bus. Take the bus to Epcot Cast Center (backstage Epcot - anything that guests can see is considered on stage, so everything you cant see/ge...

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 ...
