So Here is My...

.....year in review since this is the last day of 2009.

Sorry for lack of bloggage this month. Laptop has been broken.

Anyways....

This year was definitely nuts. I mean, it was amazing and wonderful and thrilling but it was also hurtful and depressing and painful. Odd combo, I know, but true.

Most of my year was spent at Disney, the happiest place on earth. I had the time of my life at Disney, obviously. Let's do some chronological review-

Jan. 21- Got to Disney. Met my soon-to-be-ex roomie Anna. Moved into Chatham.

Jan. 23- Traditions. Went to Magic Kingdom.

Jan. 27- orientation at Saratoga Springs. Met the awesome Laura Manning.

Jan. 28- morning training courtesy of Bea at Artist's Palette. Ohhhh..... gahhhh....

Jan. 29- night training courtesy of Mark at Artist's Palette. Better than mornings...

Ok, here comes THE DAY... January 30. I met the amazing and wonderful Brandon Fegenbush. I can still remember that moment, duh...

February was kinda blurry for the first couple weeks- Anna and Taylor (good riddance to her) and Stephanie left (alcohol.... idiots). Third week of February though, I got my BoM from Brandon. That's when he and I became such good friends. Also met Shaun and Jordan (his housemates) and Elder Russell and Elder Miskell (the missionaries).

March 1- had Basics. Boring. Only saving grace was Brandon being there too. Met Ani Urbanski. Went to breaking the fast that night. Met Emmilie Buchanan (!!!!). Met Elicia Merwin. Met Mila Romo. Met Jennlyn Bishop. Met a host of other peeps too.

March 13 and 22- you fill in the blanks. Best days ever!

Of course, in this timeframe we all frequented the parks and water parks, worked together, and basically just had fun.

April 15- we aren't gonna go there. No no no no no no......

The rest of the program kinda was subpar. I had Katie Satterfield and Ani till June 6. Katie Bantz came to SSR and became my other half. All the fall peeps came in JUne- Steve, Jessica, Bri Bri, Hannah.... you know, them. Winkie. Went to Turf Club in May and rarely worked Artist's Palette afterward. Quite the relief. No Brandon equaled rather depressing work environment.

HALLELUJAH Emmilie stayed till the end. She helped me survive!!

Left August 7.

Came home, back to JCJC... blahhhh. Work at South Central Regional Medical Center. Love it.

And so there you go. My year in review. Kinda choppy but mehhh, it works.

Bring it on, 2010!!!

I Actually Forgot....

....what it feels like to be really really happy. Well, at the moment, I am really really happy.

No, I didn't get a letter from BYUI or anything like that today. So don't think that. It's more trivial but still meant a lot to me. I mentioned yesterday how badly I wanted Donny Osmond to win Dancing with the Stars this season. He's a celebrity I have adored my whole life (no thanks to my mother, but still), plus he's LDS, come on.

He won this season!!

I started crying. Seriously. I was that happy. I don't recall the last time I cried because I was happy. Oh yeah, I remember- the night I was baptized. Eight long months ago.

I told my mom those new email accounts and 100 votes would pay off. I even prayed, seriously. I felt like I should.

And now that I have shrieked myself hoarse and still have a few tears in my eyes, I am concluding this. I leave you with....



Much love.

Hot Chocolate+PB=....

.... lots and lots of love. :))

Haha, I remember that day. That poor guest probably thought we were nuts by trying to turn her cup of cocoa into a literal melted Reese's but she ended up liking it. We as in the dynamic little duo of SSR... uh-huh, those two crazy Mormons. But he and I were just cool like that. :D

I mailed the paperwork to Bishop Mills today. It better arrive by 3pm tomorrow like that nice lady at the Ellisville post office said or I am going to demand my $17.50 back. No joke.

On a final note, if Donny Osmond does not win Dancing With The Stars tomorrow, I am going to go insane because I voted for him and Kym at least 100 times. Amen. More power to the Mormons, come on!

I need to finish this cup of love and go to sleep. Work tomorrow.

Much love.

Well At Least...

....that weight is off my shoulders.

The endorsement. I asked Jennlyn how to get in touch with Bishop Mills, called him, and he agreed to endorse me. So I will know if I am accepted by the time I get out of JCJC for Christmas, hopefully. That's a big huge HALLELUJAH!!!

I'm moving out of the dorms at JCJC regardless. I hate them. They suck. It is crazy to have your A/C flood the room daily, not be allowed to turn on the heat because the rooms might mold due to said leaky A/C, have to wait 3 weeks to get the vanity light fixed, wait 3 weeks to get the shower drain unclogged.... on and on and on. That college needs help. Typical of Mississippi though. Ugh.... my gag reflex is kicking in on the mere mention of Mississippi.

The only things worth being liked in this miserable state are Jackson, the coast, and... that's it. I love Jackson. Love it. Best city in the state. Actually is civilized, unlike the sticks where I am. Anna said they have a giant LDS church in Jackson. Who knew? Not me... I have to drive an hour to get to the one in Meridian, or Laurel, or Hattiesburg. Grrr... AND we don't have a temple. That is what is really annoying.

Well, Rebecca can't room with me but I found another girl who wants to. Sarah, from Michigan, goes to Schoolcraft where Hannah goes. How coicidental is that? I like her. I think we'll get along great.

I'm out before the internet decides to flip out on me again.

Miss you, as always.

Much love.

Oops, I...

...failed to mention that it has been seven months today since I have seen the amazing and wonderful Brandon Fegenbush. Enough said.

And I have been LDS for eight months. That is a much, much, much happier thing to be mentioning.

Much love.

So All in All....

....not been the best few weeks, days, whatever. But that should come as no surprise.

Seriously, I've been getting raging headaches for eons now. And since I am on a total homeopathic kick and refuse OTC drugs unless I feel like I am having an aneurysm and need to knock out the pain, I deal with them. It's annoying. It's called STRESS.

I need that ecclesiastical endorsement!!! This is getting ridiculous. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE HOW I CAN SOLVE THAT ISSUE????? Thank you.

I really miss Disney.. enough said.

And I miss you too, oh so very much. Amen.

Much love.

Back Again And....

....yeah. Hmmm.

I get to go to a YSA Ward again. Turns out there's one in Hattiesburg. Woohoo!! Who knew? Not me, obviously...

I have found a potential CP roomie. On the Dis again. Her name is Rebecca and she lives in Oklahoma. She finds us compatible in the roomie department. Yay! Let's just hope she doesn't turn out like Anna. Anna had such potential... shame that sleazy Taylor had to turn her into someone I don't like anymore.

I hope that TS Ida floods the humanities building and we don't have classes for a week. Seriously. No joke.

My toe is better. Sore, but better.

I miss you, Brandon and Emmilie. Just reiterating that fact once again.

Much love.
