This week has been long. I have been pulled to doubles for the past 4 days in a row. On top of that, my final exams are coming up. eeeek!! But I am so excited for this week. Little Prince Welsey is coming!!! W- is one of the most amazing little boys I have ever met. The heart and imagination on this boy is unmatched.

Now, if only I could find a boy friend... *sigh*

Tomorrow brings another jam-packed fun filled day. Class and a softball game. Come see your Vanilla Gorillas at the Wide World of Sports. 6:30pm field-24

It is a sad week for us all. In the mist of the craziness of the company... we find ourselves also temporarily losing one of the most amazing people to grace us with her presence, Leah Lowman. L2 leaves for a 6 month Hong Kong contract tomorrow morning. It is a sad day indeed. Because there will be one less wonderful person walking around base, sending you tags, or sitting next to you at company meeting making you smile. All I can say is: Please come home to us in 6 months!!

"Look at what I'm given

This beautiful creation

This sweet intoxication

Something pure in my life

Look at all these changes

Your the light that shines within me

And you'll be mine completely

There'll be no darkness left to view

I never knew this form of love existed, no

Deep inside of me is where it all begins

So hold me in your heart

Cause you'll have mine forever

Wait and lay inside my arms,

I'll protect you for always

Never feel alone, for

I'll always be with you

A home is where the heart is meant to be

You always have a home inside of me"

Scott Allen's Home. First off, I love most everything Scott Allen has written. But this song hits deep down... Home is right. I have been so caught up in everything around me when I was younger. And I never let life lead me. But life has lead me home. Right here. And I am just enjoying everything around me. You will be loved just for being the person that you are. Hard concept to learn. But it is true. I'm just so blessed I figured it out before it was too late.

It is so strange how all the stress of the world can be on you... and you, fighting just to stay a float - to stay in the game. Everything can be changing at the same time. But the moment you give up, you're sent a little something to remind you of all the good out there. The reason why you keep up the good fight! Just that feeling of being something greater than yourself... is all I could ever ask for.

-Story time with Essick-
I've been around for a long time now. And I have my little ones. Yes, MY little ones! I claim them. They are those who have touched my heart... More than they will ever know. But today, I saw a little girl named Morgan. I first met her about 3 years ago at Epcot. She comes a few times a year. Always to see me, but more so to see my big red friend. Morgan loves him!!! Always has. They share secrets. Ones both me and her mom have never heard. She believes. She believes in me. She believes in Mushu. She believes M- is my very best friend. And most importanly, she believes in herself now. She just turned 8 this week, and no longer listens to the kids at school who make fun of her because she is different from the other kids. See Morgan and M- have something in comon. "the bully was wrong, not everyone has 5 fingers..." Its hard enough to endure adolecence. But to go through it like that. I am just amazed to see how 3 years later, she has become a beautiful amazing little girl. One with more personality than many of the college kids in my classes this semester.

As for now, I am happy. Restless still. But happy.
This just makes my decision this week so much harder!!
Do I worry about school...
Work...
or my little ones?

Pi Day!!!

Here's a picture of baby Delaney!!! ------>

There is just not enough time in each day, each week... each month to get everything you need to do in. Just not enough time. This balance act I've got going on between work and school isn't working out so much this semester. I may take the next term off... That would be amazing! I've come to the comclusion, that I just want to work. Its not that I am lazy and want to get out of it. But I really like the extra income, and I'm just over school. I work 40+ hours a week and still Ace-ing all my classes. I don't feel challenged anymore. But I know I need that silly piece of paper to secure my future. Lame. Everything I know, I've learned through expierence. Thats another reason why I love working so much. Arg. What to do?


Get through this semester first!

Cali Trip Update!

This week was jam packed! Thursday morning I woke up to my phone - Studios needed a Pink, so I got up uber early after spending the whole night packing... did 4 sets before leaving to pick up my travel buddy :) and heading to MCO. (Orlando Airport) We arrived in LA Orange County pretty late but still managed to do some running around that night. Of coarse the next morning we got up bright and early and drove down to Hollywood. Saw the sign, went shopping on Rodeo Dr., passed through Beverly Hills, went to the Kodak theatre and then headed to North Hollywood to get ready for our audition. This one was just like every other Disney Audition I've ever been to. Our WDW crew was sizable and you would tell we all had experience. We had to wait around for a few because of call-backs... but then we made our way to LA to see Baby Delaney!! That night was amazing. It was so nice to see my sister, and her new baby.

*I'm going to start on a side note: My sister and I have had our ups and downs. To be honest, we couldn't be more different. I know that has always been a reason why we've never got along. But this trip has really shown me the bonds of family and no matter how much you want to kill them... deep down you love them ten times more.*

The next day we went to Sana Monica Pier. Shopped for hours, and went to the beach. Simply a beautiful day out. I couldn't have been more relaxed. No school, no work. Just friends and family... thats all I could ever ask for. Delaney was soooooo good. Not a fuss. I mean, what 6 month old baby would just chill like that? Delaney!

Sat night we went to dinner for Del's birthday. (Del my brother-in-law, note: Elaine is my sister. Thus, Delaney) We went for sushi and sake! Another nice relaxed night. But it ended too soon and we had to head back out to Anahiem so that way we could get an early start. The morning came, so off we went! Disneyland here we come. Let me just say I don't think we could have done anyting more in just one day! Between our one-on-one time with the Jedi and Princesses... Hischool Musical 3 w/ Chirpie and Fantasmic! at night on top of a few rides. It was amazing! The next morning we grabbed breakfast with Greggy then got right back on that plane to come home. Just in time for school and work... eeew.
