Screaming, Crying and a lot of Smiling

I did enter those wonderful golden gates of Disney Land, and truly it was better than i had thought. Yesterday i went to Disney and had an utter blast. The majority of the day, my little huddle of Disney going friends consisted of Jerrad (who toured us around because he used to work there), Lori (which was Jerrad's L.A. friend), Crystalyn, Troy, Charlene and Karen (our director came back for a few days, it's been great to haver her, and she used to work at Disney for a very long time so it was fun to go around with her too). We rode rides, smiled much and for a short time became like kids again. During the entire day, i saw two parades, a fire work show where i almost cried, a water/light show, i rode Indiana Jones, Buzz light year, Mr. Toads adventure, and my two favorite rides were Tower of Terror which i loved and Space Mountain where i laughed so hard that i was literally crying plus more. I remember when my parents and big brother would ride space mountain and i was always too afraid to ride... but finally, FINALLY i had the experience. And i loved it! Seriously, it was just so much fun! The next day (monday) we rented a car and drove to Hollywood, we had sushi, took many pictures and had fun chillin' in the 'burbs. Thanks to Jerrad for being mr. tour guide on our days off.

Today we are at a beautiful church in Peoria, Arizona. The weather is absolutely exquisite and the day has just been plain lovely. I'm really tired, but that's okay... i'll get some good sleep tonight before we hit Vegas tomorrow. i'm going to see the Blue Man Group and i'm very excited! No gambling for me...duh! The stage today however, is wonderfully huge and is a very nice change from a few of the past smaller shows we have had.

Well, thirty minutes until the 7 o'clock show, so it's time to leave you... but before i do, here are some images of recent.


This is me at the hotel before we even left... I'm holding my golden ticket! (okay maybe it's not golden, but you get the point!)


Jerrad and me at the gates of Disney!


A cool looking ride in Tomorrow Land


I saw Simba!


Hello Ariel!

Hollywood:

This is our hot ride! A blue P.T. Cruiser, and this is our driver, Mr. Matthew. Fun, fun car!


We jammed on the way to Hollywood... this is what it looks like when you are 80's rockstars!


This is Troy and myself in Hollywood right by the Chinese Theatre. you see the hollywood sign in the back?

random:

This church in Livermore was so amazing! They had this big climbing wall that he had a lot of fun on! This is me enjoying the wall.


More of me climbing.


This is us at dinner after intense climbing, Brandon is consuming a wonderful brownie sundae, it was so good!


I really like Hampton Inns, you want to know why? It's because they have a smile sign inside their elevators! That's just cool. This is in Medford, Oregon.


This is a wonderful sushi dinner that we had in Medford during our day off, mucho bueno!


This is a picture found in the lobby (entering into the auditorium) of a Canadian church, we found great pleasure in this... funny ay?


This is just an adorable picture of Junior and Jimmy. everyone together now "awww"...

Take in a deep breath and realize how good God is, sometimes it just really helps.

LOVED all the pictures. I'm glad my shirt at least had a good time ;)
Can't believe you're eating sushi so soon after you had food poisoning from Chinese (japanese I know sushi is), You're brave! You could post every day and I wouldn't see you and hear from you enough. So happy you had such a great time. I love you!!
