hey hey

Time to post of course....Whats new with everyone? Nothing to report here I guess. I've been busy working at the Royal Pacific, but haven't been back to the Contemporary since then. I'm still employed with Disney though, and I will hopefully pick up a shift there sometime soon.


Ok so here's something new. I got a new phone. I know right?? I had the same phone for like 2 years, and while I liked my phone I needed something new and more advanced. I got an iPhone and I love it! I have text messaging which is wonderful, and some apps that I am addicted to (such as checkers..no lie it's my favorite thing on there). I just love it!

Hmm...I'm going to Michigan in June, in like less than a month. I haven't bought my ticket yet because I'm broke so I need to do that after pay day. I'm also going to plan a trip to connecticut for July which is where my sister lives because her fiance is going to be gone for a month (he's a military man). I'm excited. Connecticut is off the ocean so that's good enough for me.

I've also started looking into going back to college in the fall at Valencia. They have a hospitality management program which is what I would do, of course. I have a campus tour scheduled for Thursday and if I can talk to an adviser I'm going to ask about the credits I got at macomb and see if they will mean anything here. I really hope so, otherwise all of that time and money has gone to WASTE! I'm really excited about going back though. I feel, right now, like I don't really have anything going on in my life and I really miss college and having social interactions outside of work. I'm hoping to meet new people and make some new friends as well. Right now, I am planning on only doing one class because I still need to work full time and I know that I can handle that. If I can do that well and have no problems I can try and do 2 classes for the following semester. It really depends on what classes I already took that will transfer over, if any, that will determine which class I take but right now it looks like i will take the intro to hospitality class, even if the one i already took is okay. it's always good to have a refresher and it's been awhile since i've gone to school so I'd like the class i take to be easy.

Things with Chris are going well. We are happy and doing very good. and there's really nothing else to say about that..lol

Well that's all i have going on right now. I will write an update whenever I deem necessary!

OMG almost 3 months, what's wrong with me??

I keep meaning to update my blog, and now I have some free time due to not being able to sleep so I shall write!

Nothing is super new with me I guess. In my last blog I mentioned that for my birthday Chris let me get a kitten. I named her Bailey and she is the MOST beautiful thing on earth. I love that girl with everything. She is bad, believe me, she is very naughty and I have to yell at her a lot but there is nothing quite like walking in from a long day at work to be greeted by a ''meow!!!!?!?" (which to me translates to "HI MOMMY HI MOMMY HI MOMMMY!!!!!!!!" he he he). I feel like having Bailey here at home with us makes this feel more like...a home! Chris has gotten used to her, even though I never thought he would, it only took a few weeks for him to treat her like his own. He's very good to her and feeds her and such. I'm happy about that.

I also got a new job. I know right?? In previous blogs I have mentioned my employment with Disney and how I felt cheated because it was basically impossible for me to move into a full time position due to being seasonal, even though they were hiring in full timers who had more employment time with Disney. I got so fed up with it, and it got to the point where i was only getting maybe 2 days a week at the most, and I can't live on that. I started applying for jobs everywhere, had some interviews and finally landed my first REAL full time job!!!! Ok maybe it's not a career, but I enjoy it. I work in the recreation department at Loews Royal Pacific Resort in Orlando. it's a beautiful hotel, large and south seas themed. I work as a pool attendant and it's quite a basic job, but it keeps me occupied. I'm trying to make goals for myself so I can move up with the company eventually. I'm hoping by like December or January (when it starts getting cold again) I will be able to move inside working at the front desk. And then I'm just going to wait and see what happens from there. That's my plan right now though. I like what I do for now, it's interesting having a job that I've never done before and working outside has its benefits (like a killer tan...which I kinda have, considering I AM a michigander at heart and at first glance ha ha ha!) but I know in July i'll regret saying that once i drown in my own sweat. ugh!

Ummmm...Honestly I wish I had more to say...however, I don't really and I think i'm going to try and go back to bed now. I should update this more often....maybe I will.

First post of 2010

Well, we made it. 2010 is finally here. I can't even believe what an insane year I just lived through. 2009, I have to say, was definitely the most interesting, challenging, adventurous, wonderful, exciting year of my entire life.

2009 was a year of many firsts for me. some ridiculous, some not so much. My first time on a roller coaster. My first time at basically all of the Disney theme parks in general. My first time moving out of my parent's house...my first time moving out of MICHIGAN...living on my own with girls from all over the country...my first time working a LEGIT job. my first time falling in true love. my first REAL apartment (disney apartments barely count). my first time to california. my first time driving cross-country. my first time moving my sister out of my parents house. my first christmas without my family. It's been insane and very intense but it's made me a stronger person in the end. I can't imagine 2010 comparing in any way, but i know it will be amazing!


so yesterday was my birthday. i turned 22. tooooo old. yet i feel soo! young because everyone at work is like 23, 24, 25...etc. chris spoiled the shit out of me. it makes me feel really bad about what i did for his birthday because i feel like i did nothing compared to what he did, then again, he has a lot more money than i do so whatever. he got me a Crock Pot which is awesome, and also he surprised me with the most amazing thing ever. he took me to Petco and let me buy a bunch of things and gave me permission to adopt a kitten from the Humane Society. i seriously cried. i was so happy. i bought what i needed and we went to go see ''Its Complicated'' at the movie theater. after that we came home because it was freezing and raining so we hung out until our dinner reservations at Citricos at the Grand Floridian. Food was amazing of course, service top notch. they had a personalized menu made for me along with a birthday button so everyone acknowledged me. it was awesome. then we came home for CAKE! chris made an amazing cake for me, it was sooo nice and he spent a lot of time on it. so it was basically the best birthday ever.

today i went, first thing in the AM, to the Humane Society to get a kitten. of course i couldn't WAIT!!! lol. i found one that i absolutely loved, shes 10 months so a bit older than i wanted but shes so playful and loving. i named her bailey after much thought. chris has never had a pet before so he's like walking on eggshells around her. i'm sure that will change though. she's very sweet.


anyway, thats it for tonight. i have so many things i could rant about but i will NOT get into that right now. good night and good riddance.
