I am a lucky girl

Sometimes I complain about my life here as a Quick Service Food and Beverage Cast Member. I do the dirty work and feel like cheap labor. Yet I have to remind myself periodically that many people apply to work here and I was chosen. I am in a beautiful place. I wore my swimsuit half my day today in February. I don't even wear my swimsuit in California in February. I got sunburnt today while being on water rides in Typhoon Lagoon and laying out and falling asleep feeling the warmth of the sun on my white pancake back. Yes I do need to tan. Some guy called me out on it yesterday. Want to hear another "lucky girl" moment? I was in the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. How cool is that? I was in the background, but I did get a costume and I met Indiana Jones. I acted "scared", some woman accidently touched my butt when doing a scene. We both laughed about it in the end. I danced with a guy from Puerto Rico in the show. I talked to this handsome guy from England with a dreamy accent. I can't complain about my life. Yes, there are always moments when I am scrubbing the garbage can and I smell the remains of customer's sandwich. But I forget that those moments are less important to the days where I can watch the firework show "wishes" and see Tinker Bell fly down from Cinderella's Castle. I work next to Jack Sparrow, I hear pirates music during work. While others are worrying about exams, school, and everyday worries, I forget that I am in Happiest Place on the Earth. Overall, at the end of the day. I am lucky to be here. Somebody asked me if I was dating anyone today, my response was "no, but Mickey Mouse gave me a big hug and kiss yesterday".  Who else can say that?

    This is one of my favorite posts you have written. IT makes me homesick for my sweet girl who is now all grown up. Keep the kisses from Mickey Mouse coming! He's a real gentleman.

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Predictable Chick Flicks

I love them yet I always wonder why I am watching them after I have wasted 2 hours of my day. I just watched a "made for tv" movie with Hilary Duff called "Beauty and the Briefcase". The basic plot of the movie is really dumb. Guys are stupid, and Hillary Duff or Lane, has a perfect guy that she is waiting around for. Each guy dosen't fit the checklist, so she is always disappointed. She starts working in a buisness place with men wearing suits in order to find love. She falls in love with a boss who is opposite of everything she wanted. So basic theme: You find love in unexpected places when you aren't looking for it. Now that you know the basic plot of the movie, you can hear the last line of the movie. "Lane, I can't feel my arm". You could predict everything in that movie, the acting was horrible. The last kissing scene was unrealistic. She runs in a important corporate meeting and tells the boss, Tom, that she is in love with him. They k...
