Due to my amazing hook-ups at the parks, I got to sit in the handicapped section during Fantasmic. Special thanks goes out to Wes. I finally felt like I belonged.
A rare, actually I believe a first ever, shot of all of us together. This is apartment 25203. From left to right we have Jennamarie aka J-Dawg, Amanda aka Dee, Me and Auli'i. I'm pretty sure that is the first time that we have all been together outside of the apartment.
We work pretty hard here. Sometimes, we just need some serious zen.
These flowers in front of France are shaped like perfume bottles. The French may not be creative, but at least they smell good, or at least think they smell good.
I hate to admit it, but I no longer hate Pooh. I still don't agree with people that are not under the age of 10 being obsessed with it, but the show and the characters are cute. Plus, my roommate is friends with Tigger, I have to like him.
It's Spring and love is in the air. So is the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. This is Disney's landscape team's time to shine! Karlee, I am so excited for you to see this. There are giant characters and awesome designs all over made completely of flowers.

At Walt Disney World, we're called Cast Members. At M&M World, they're called Mployees. I like it. I also like that we are all in blue in this picture.

This is a terrible shot but it just shows you how close we were. It was so much fun! I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Have fun with finals everyone! Ha ha! Just kidding. Good luck, if you need so uplifting music, listen to Boondocks by Little Big Town. It should help.
After the concert, we all stood in line to meet the groups and get pictures and autographs. I bought a picture of Little Big Town for them to sign because I liked their show so much. I'm even going to get the CD. I felt bad because all I had for Jamie O'Neal was was a post it on the back of Little Big Town's picture. Oh well. I shook Jimi's hand!
Here's Jamie O'Neal. The guy on the right is her husband. She has two other band members. The one not pictured is from Russia, plays the banjo and is way cute too. Too bad I couldn't meet him and tell him that I know some Russian. Lodka! I don't know if that's how you would spell it in English but for those of you who don't know, it means boat.

This is Little Big Town. There are four singers and 3 other band members. Jimi, on the far left, is way cute. He's really nice too, I got to shake his hand and get his autograph. One of the singers is hiding in this picture, she is the furthest hair you can see on the right. I don't want to leave her out.
Here's me and my gang! From left to right we have Jenna, Brian, Virginia from Virginia and that's me sleeping. Brian and VA are huge country music fans. I'm talking fan clubs and traveling long distances to see these concerts. Brian drove us about an hour and a half away to see this awesome concert. Jenna and I didn't even know the bands too well but we had a blast

Brian stopped at the first Wal-Mart that we saw to make sure we were headed the right way. It wasn't a Super Wal-Mart. I don't remember the last time I saw one that small and Brian said he didn't remember the last time he had spoken to someone with so few teeth. A day full of new experiences. This picture is the actual Wal-Mart that held our rockin' concert.
I went to one of the ghettos in Florida. This place is missing windows and a roof. It was worse than Ogden but I almost felt like I was back there again. We were searching for a Wal-Mart to go to a country music concert. What else would you do in the ghetto?

I got caught in my first summer storm today. I was walking home from the grocery store and I turned the corner to the street where our apartments are and BAM! In about 10 seconds I was drenched and I still had a good 5 minutes to go. It was so much fun. The only sad part was that a possibly romantic moment was of no use for me.

Here is my reaction to the sushi. I have proof, I tried it. I actually swallowed it. My dad is very proud of this picture.

Brace yourselves for what I'm about to say about this. I ATE it! EW! It's seared tuna. My first experience with sushi. So you put some of that pinkish stuff on top of the red stuff and then a drop of the green stuff, fold it up and eat it. Had I not been in a nice restaurant or in a restaurant with people, I may have spit it out.
My dad came to visit so I gave him all the hook-ups that I could including a sneak peek at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex. Special thanks to my fellow cast member Barry! He saw my dad and I looking around at the stadium so he offered to show us the club house where the Braves sit during spring training. My dad is sitting right where Andruw Jones could have sat!

Later, we shrunk and got lost in the grass. There were huge mushrooms, spiderwebs and Little Debbie cakes everywhere! Luckily we made it out alive, however, there were a lot of parents in there that didn't look so good.


I even got to go to Paris! My dream come true! Are you buying any of this?
Here are the steep streets of San Francisco. Now I really feel like I'm on Full House. Man, it was sure tough climbing up that hill!
Check me out! I traveled the world in just two days! Here I am on some awesome steps that lead up to the front door of a house. I've always thought these stoops were awesome and I hope that my house/apartment one day will have some. It makes me feel like I am actually in the Cosby Show or maybe even Full House.

And to end off the evening, we got to watch America in concert! How jealous are you? (Just google them.) We were actually there to accept an award for Flying J so I stood on that stage with a medal on while people screamed for our gas station. No, I'm not joking. It was awesome. I can officially say that I've been backstage at a concert.
AAAhhh! Watch out! Inside the Daytona museum, my dad and I got to "drive" in a race. I came in 13th out of 25. I won't tell you what my dad got, he'd be too embarrassed.
Here we are on the actual track. The drivers have to stay above the yellow line while driving. You can't really tell how steep this is from the picture but it's a pretty big hill. Just a piece of trivia for you, for an RV to drive on that, it must go at least 80 mph so that it won't tip.
While my dad was in town, we went to an RV Rally at the Daytona International Speedway, the home of the Daytona 500. Here is a memorial for Dale Earnhart Sr. Even though I'm not into racing, this was still neat to see. His story is tragic but he died doing what he loved.

And of course, the ride that nobody ever wants to go on with me, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. Here's J-Dawg taking a nap. It was so relaxing that when it broke down, we welcomed the extra time to rest.
From what I hear, working at the Jungle Cruise is really fun. However, riding the Jungle Cruise, not so much. At least I get pictures of animals' heads. Of course, they're fake animals, but heads nonetheless.
And a cool picture, this momma duck was building her nest as we walked by. When she stretched to pick up some leaves, we could see her eggs. It was so cute. Yay for Tom Sawyer's Island!
On Tom Sawyer's Island, you can explore dark mines and caves. In our case, you can nearly kill yourself in dark mines and caves. We were almost too big for some of the adventures but our favorite part was the barrel bridge. Eventually, we wobbled back onto solid ground and found these guys in the barn. Yep, that's pretty much what they do all day. Exciting huh?
We went into the film thing, that nobody goes to. There was one guy in there watching cartoons. Well, that's what we thought until we looked closer and saw that he was sleeping. He didn't mind too much as we tried to whistle along with Steamboat Willie.
J-Dawg and me as the monorail whizzes past. We decided to spend a relaxing day at the Magic Kingdom and ended up going on the rides that we haven't been on in a while or those that our families wouldn't let us go on. Was it exciting? Sure!

I love Timon and I can't wait to meet him. He's really good in the Lion King show.
It's Joanna from the Rescuers Down Under. I like the one in the movie better.
The Headless Kangaroo.
The Headless Deer.

The Headless Vulture.
There are a lot of cool animals at the Animal Kingdom, unfortunately, this photographer is not so good at getting images of them. For example, check out the next series of what I like to call "The Headless Animal Kingdom".

And now my life is complete! I'm sooo excited about this especially since I lost my other name tag. This lets guests know that I speak French so that I can try to help them out. I hope I haven't forgotten it all!
