Day One @ Disney and Oh, How pinteresting! {2}

I said my goodbye’s from the airport yesterday and I was sad to leave my family, but I know I’m where I need to be!

 Me and Nick (I get to see him for Spring Break, I cannot wait!)
The family that was able to make it (Dad, Sis, Me, and Mom)

I did in fact make it to Walt Disney World (yay me!) and I’m loving it here even though I’m missing people like crazy! I get such an attachment to family and friends that it makes it tough, but I have to push that to the back of my head or I’d probably be depressed! I’m not, btw… but it’s still sad!

*I’ll post up some pics of my apartment and stuff later and blog a little more on what I’m doing at Disney right now*

But… It’s time for…



Considering my current location, I thought a theme of Disney would be appropriate (Are ya’ll tired of me and Disney talk yet?!)



Gorgeous!


I’ll be meeting them soon!

PEZ, anyone?
What more inspiration do you need? Disney has the Answers!

What fond memories do you have of Disney and what Rides/Attractions do you suggest I put on my “Disney Bucket List”?

Last post before I take off to Orlando!



Today has been bitter sweet, my trip is finally here and I’m overwhelmed with excitement, but the reality is finally hitting home and I’m going to miss so many people while I’m away!  

The Children…
The first part of the day wasn’t the greatest, but it was still nice to spend the time with my Mom and sister.  I helped my mom at church with a children’s thing, and honestly… I’m not the best person for the job, I was happy to help, of course, but a rowdy group of kids is just not my thing!  Luckily, I wrangled my sis in to help, so I got to spend the morning with them!  Here’s some picture fun me and the sister had during some down time… hehe enjoy!



The boyfriend+boyfriend’s brother+boyfriend’s sister-in-law…
I then got picked up from that to go spend some time with N, T, and K!  We stopped by Corner Bakery so the boyfriend could get some yummy food (I got a MONSTER cookie aka… m&m and chocolate chip cookie!) then we went over to his brother’s house to spend time with them and we played the BEST game ever… seriously…. LOVE IT!  We got introduced to it over Christmas and it’s my new all time fav!  Mexican Train… Wait for it… Wait for it… DOMINOS!  Yes, awesome!! Snapped some pics with them!

Playing Dominos!  Seriously, super fun!

AK and UJ…
We then headed over to my Aunt Karen’s and Uncle John’s for dinner.  I make delicious Dorito and Chicken Casserole that my sister is obsessed with, so I promised her that dinner before I left.  It was a huge hit at my Aunt and Uncles!  I’m going to miss them too, especially since they JUST moved down to Mississippi this past year and now I’m leaving!

The Cousins and AK and UJ

This has been such a fantastic weekend to end out my life in Brandon!  Again, it was bitter sweet… I’m excited about my new adventure starting tomorrow (at 5am!) but really sad to say good-bye to so many people I love and cherish!  Thank goodness for Skype and cell phones and FB and e-mail and wow… so many things to help us stay in touch!

Next time I blog, I’ll be in Sunny Orlando, FL enjoying myself at Disney World!

I didn’t plan this out well….

PACKING!

A few months back I purchased my plane tickets to go live in Orlando for about 7 months… there were a few things I didn’t quite think through.  
Now, I’m a planner, I love planning, but unfortunately, I seriously failed this planning mission!  
I didn’t think about needing items to live on for seven months and only having TWO checked bags to fly with that can’t weigh over 50 pounds.  Needless to say, I’ve been crossing things off my packing list one by one that I’m going to have to wait on.  Fortunately, Nick is coming in March for Spring Break, so he will be bringing what I cannot take, but for the first month or two, I’ll be living off a minimal amount of stuff (which, honestly, I shouldn’t complain about, right? Because it’s probably a lot more than most people get to live off their entire life.  I should probably shut up with the complaining!)  So I’ve been working REALLY hard the past 2-3 days to get packed up for my flight out on Tuesday morning!

My bed covered with everything I WANT to take!
My two checked bags I plan on taking and a bin full of other things I WANT to take!
My room at the parentals was a MESS for a while…. Nick came over last night and knocked some sense in me and basically TOLD encouraged me to pack lighter and we went one by one and narrowed down what I needed to bring.
Or shall I say, HE narrowed down what I needed to bring, and I begrudgingly obliged… 🙁

First Checked bag, packed!
Second Checked bag, packed with room to spare
First Carry On packed minus laptop (that I’m using right now, obviously!)
Second Carry on, my purse!
And then… there is the stuff that I have to leave behind… which will be joining me in March!

I do still have to actually weigh the bags, and believe me if I have some wiggle room, I’ll throw in an item or two I was going to leave behind, but this was a lot more stressful that I expected!


What are some plans you made that you seriously didn’t think through all the way and wanted to kick yourself in the rear after making the decision? 

I should have chosen to drive…
