Sooo busy, but soooo much fun!

It has been quite awhile since I have updated my blog, but once again I have been extremely busy!!! Even though I have been really busy, I have had an extraordinary amount of fun! :-) Everyday I wake up and look forward to what is in store for the day, even if it is work. I am loving work and the people I work with:-) There has been the Mickey's Halloween Party a couple times a week, so I have been able to work during it and see all the cute costumes that all the kids and adults wear. And when I am not working, I am having fun:)
I have done a ton of things in the last few weeks. A couple weeks ago Emily and I went to Knotts Berry Farm Haunt! The first thing we did when we got there was attempted to go into one of the scary mazes, but we didn't make it more than five feet without turning around and leaving (it wasn't me that was scared). We ended up riding a few roller coasters which were really fun, but the lines were really long and stuff.. but it was still a night to remember;-) Also, my sister came to visit me!! We had a lot of fun while she was down here. The first day we went to the park and rode a ton of rides. I worked one of the days, but the other days I stayed at Aunt Anita and Uncle Steve's house with her:-) We all had such a wonderful time. One of the days we went to Disneyland for Sienna's Birthday! It was so much fun because it was the first time Sienna would remember going to Disneyland. For lunch we ate at Ariel's Grotto which was really good and all the princesses came to the table. Overall, I had so much fun while my sister was down and I wish she was still down here:-)
Just last week I played laser tag with a bunch of people in the college program. We ended up getting the whole place to ourselves, and so we had a ton of fun! Emily, Arielle, Brittany, Jayme, and I all got ready together. We were wearing black, with bandanas and awesome makeup. Go team JEBAL and GATORS!!! Even though we lost, we seriously had so much fun running around wild yelling for each other;-) Also, we had an EO Banquet for work:-) We went to the Spaghetti Factory and visited, had dinner, and watched people get awards:-) It was fun seeing everyone outside of work!
As being part of the College Program, we get to do special things sometimes:-) This last week we were able to tour Walt's Apartment, which is above the firehouse on main street. It was really amazing to see where he lived and here stories about him. I learned a lot about Walt and his family that I didn't know. 
Today I work till 12:45, so I won't get home till really late, but I am excited for tomorrow:-) We are going to Huntington Beach for volleyball and a bonfire with people from the program, so we will have lots of fun. I miss my family a lot but time is just flying by! I have had so much fun down here, so I know it will be very difficult for me to leave. I will have several amazing memories to share with everyone, and I will remember them forever!

Another fun week:-)

Holy cow it has been a busy but fun week!!! On Monday Emily, Bri, and I went to Santa Monica Beach:-) It was rainy but we still had fun walking around and having a good time. We ate a Bubba Gump and that was one story. Emily told one of the workers that it was my birthday (so we could get ice cream.. i had no idea about it) and for some reason they thought she said it was my sweet sixteen. A bunch of the employees came over to our table and announced it was my sweet sixteen and sang a happy birthday chant... I was quite embarrassed. Then we went and Bri had a tap class and so Emily and I just kinda walked around. Then, on our way home, we say some big city so we decided to take the exit and just drive around. We didn't find out until later that we were actually in downtown LA! It was so much fun.. we were sticking our heads out the windows like tourists lol:-) So we had a great day off!
The next day I had to wake up bright and early for a VoluntEARS event. It was were 4000 3rd graders came to the Anaheim Convention center and learned about the city and got to meet people and finally got to see Mickey at the end. I gave so many high-fives to the kids that my hand was totally numb by the end of the event lol. That night I got to go on a back stage tour of Tower of Terror!! It was soo much fun. We got to ride Tower of Terror with no lights, sounds, or anything!! It was way scary because we would go up and have no idea when we would drop or anything because the story wasn't being told! It was so amazing to experience though. And we got to walk up and explore where the elevator stops during the ride, which was pretty cool and see and learn how everything was done. Overall, the day went really well between the voluntEARS event and the Tower of Terror Tour!
I have been working lots which has been going very well:-) A couple days ago I got off work at 10:30 and then went to a Cast Preview of ElecTRONica which is the new fun dance type of thing in California Adventure.. since I am a cast member I got to preview it which was lots of fun! Today I worked from 11:00-7:30 and it was a pretty long day, but I always have a good day! But tomorrow I work at 6:30 in the morning:( It is going to be a super early for me but at least I will be done at a decent time and have the rest of the day off:-):-)
I still miss my family dearly and am very excited that my sister is going to come visit me this coming week!!!! YAY!! Well I am going to try and get some sleep since I have an early morning:-)
At Santa Monica:-)

After the awesome VoluntEARs event!

And the Adventure Continues:-)

I know I am bad for not updating this in awhile:-( I have just been super busy lately and a lot has been going on... But I am actually home right now and am able to update it! Well, to start things off, I woke up this morning to thunder and lightening and rain!!! It was the first time I have seen rain in over a month (when I was back home). I was quite excited but the clouds are already leaving me:-(
Anyways, my life is still going well down here! I am still loving work and meeting new people every day. I have been working between 32 and 37 hours a week:) I am also having lots of fun when I am not at work... I just spend my extra time at the park lol:-) I went there Wednesday with Cyle (my trainer) and Damien and had soo much fun. We were able to go on so many rides rather than standing in line all day long lol! And then I went yesterday with Emily and Bri after I was off work ... and let me tell you... it was a crazy night.. nothing more to say than that lol because it is a long story! Also, this last Monday the college program had tickets for us to go to the Angel's baseball game, and that was lots of fun. We were right next to where the pitchers warm up and so we kept smiling at them lol:-) One night Emily, Bri, and I went to the Block at Orange and went shopping and we had a ton of fun trying on clothes that were too expensive to buy lol. And another night Emily and I went to another apartment and had pizza dip and laughed the whole night....It seems like I haven't been at the apartment for anything except sleep. I am always out doing something, but it is lots of fun!
I started my class last week, and after meeting twice, I think I am going to really like it. There is quite a bit of stuff to do, but I am able to stay awake during 4 hour class and enjoy it. I did have coffee the other morning in class (which I never really drink unless it is a frappucinno) so I could wake up for the 8:30 class and by the end of class I was shaking so much lol!!
I miss my family a lot and am always thinking about them:-) Nicole is going to come visit in just a couple weeks so I am really excited about that! Well, I work four till midnight tonight (first night of Mickey's Halloween Trick-or-Treat) so I need to go get some laundry and stuff done before I go to work. I hope you enjoyed reading my update since it has been awhile!
Having fun tryong on dresses:-)
