HAPPY FEBRUARY!!! :)

Today is my Saturday and I am going to enjoy it! I am going to go lay by the pool and soak up some sun (it's 80 degrees here today) and then go play in the parks for a bit, then my friend Taryn and I are going to Ale house tonight to eat!

Everything is going well, except I keep getting deployed over and over again...haha. Hopefully I will be back in Liberty for good soon.

Have a great day everyone!

Home for a weekend

Lots of new people are checking in but I have not really met anybody because I am working so much. I have not seen any new Cp's in my area.....it makes me sad because I am really missing everyone from L-square from Fall.

I went home this past weekend and it was definitely nice to see my family and a few select friends. I miss everyone like stinkin' crazy. I went to my home church for the first time since I came to Disney and it was amazing. Anthony Evans Jr. led worship (pretty cool that he was there when I was there) and the message that my pastor gave on peace was pretty awesome too.

Well, talk to y'all later!

New people!!!! :)

GAHHHHH! I am seeing a lot of new people around the Chatham Square complex!!! Can't wait to meet new people and make some more lifelong friends here, like I did for Fall 2010!

If we have not met yet, COME TALK TO ME! :) I loveeee new friends!

1 year ago

1 year ago, Haiti was DEVASTATED with an Earthquake that killed many and left even more homeless, without food, without water, without clothing, without anything. Please take some time today to reflect on the things that we are blessed with here in America and the things that many other people in other countries DO NOT have.

Just some food for thought.

New Year

This year: No resolutions. Only setting goals throughout the year, rather than only at the beginning of the year. I think that if you only set "resolutions" at the beginning of the year, you are more likely to not follow through with them. The only thing that I am setting at the beginning of the year, is to try to do something new every single day of the year! I am going to try to log them and share them at the end of every month. Hopefully this goes throughout the year. I think this will be a good way to experience a lot of new things, if I consciously write them down and think about it! :)

And as always, I set a "reading goal" every year. This year, my goal is 24 books. I will also be logging those as well. It will be about 2 books a month, so hopefully I can keep up with that.

Hope everyone is well. I am all moved into my one bedroom apartment in Chatham Square and I have continued working in Liberty Square in my extension.

Have a wonderful week y'all!

Holiday madness begins

So my trip home was pretty good. I got George to cover my shift on Monday so that I could stay home all the way through Tuesday! :) I got to be home for almost 5 days and it felt good to be refreshed and ready to go back to work for the holiday season.

They are already starting to work me like crazy for the holidays and we are still not "officially" in the season yet. Plus, today, I am deployed for one day to Downtown Disney, at D-Street/TrenD. I have never even been to these stores so this will be an interesting experience. And then next week, I am working over 10 hours, nearly every single day.

However, this week also, my best friend, her husband, daughter, and her daughter's godmother are all coming to visit me here at Disney so we are going to spend 2 very fun-filled days in the parks. It will be Josh and Leilani's first time at Magic Kingdom so I am pumped! :) It will be so much fun.

Well, off to clean. We have inspections on Monday.

Love y'all!
