Disney has turned out to be an adventure full of dreams coming true!! Well... I wish that was truly all that it was full of. It is true that it has been quite and adventure, for sure one that I will never forget, but all of my dreams have yet to come true. Maybe by the end I will have had the wonderful opportunity to make some of my dreams a reality.

I don't know what it was that scared me about coming here.  And to think that I even thought about staying in Idaho.  Crazy girl! : ) I seriously love it here.  I was in shorts and a t-shirt today. ALL DAY! It is so beautiful! Now, I am scared that I am never going to want to leave! Why? Because Disneyworld really is THE BEST! Who would have thought? 

So, I am leaving in like another hour and I figure that since I don't think I am going to get to update this daily, I might as well write one last time!

I watched the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with my sister tonight and there was a line in it that really struck me. One of the girls said something about how the others around her have lost everything and still love and yet she has lost nothing and is afraid to love. I think that really hit home with me. Sometimes I think that one day getting married is the scariest idea and so I run but there are other days where I really can't wait to get married. So, there you have it, I am truly afraid to love. I think that it is mostly because I am afraid to be hurt. My mom once said to me that the people who hurt us most are the people we love. If we never want to be hurt, then we can never love. And, love should be the greatest thing that a human being is capable of. Love really does "lift us up." Love is what makes people do crazy things. And yes, I am terrified of it. But I do think that it is totally normal for a girl my age to be afraid to love!

Anyhow... I am off to Florida for a few months. I am so excited and hope that I have the best trip. It should be awesome. Seriously, I get to work with Mickey Mouse and what could be better than that???? Until next time, (hopefully soon!)

There is something about a scary movie that intrigues everyone! What is it though? Tonight we watched Solstice, a movie about a girl who's twin sister commits suicide and is coming back to "warn her." Yes, the premise may seem a little bit childish, but it did everything a scary movie is supposed to do... it scared me! There was a point where I didn't think I was going to be able to sleep by myself and I even asked Hayley if she would stay the night. Maybe I'm just a little bit chicken but I don't understand what it is that continues to attract me to the idea of being scared. Is it really that intriguing? Maybe it is like testing a limit, sometimes that is just plain fun!

Like every decision I make in my life, I have questioned whether or not moving to Florida is a good thing. I have been going back and forth between being so excited I can hardly wait to total unsureness of whether going will be good for me. Now, with 2 days left, I CANNOT WAIT!!! I just hope that it stays like this until I get home in April. Seriously though, I get to be at the happiest place in the states for 3 months. I don't have to worry about school or anything. Sounds like the coolest thing in the world if you ask me!

Well, in speaking of having a hard time making decisions, I have been going back and forth so much with school and deciding what I want to do with my life. There are so many possibilities and in reality, I am the one who gets to choose. I can do anything I want and that kind of scares me! So, heres the gist of it. I started as an exercise science major, wanting to go to medical school at UC Davis, and then work as a pediatric surgeon. However, I didn't think that I was strong enough to deal with the blood and needles. YUCK! So, I looked into photography. Seeing as I am a very observant person, I thought photojournalism would be the perfect job for me! But, after taking only a few classes, I realized that photo was far from being my forte! And now I am stuck. Do I go back to premed? Well, the answer to that should be a simple no. I should not go back. But then what am I to do? I think that every college student struggles with this and I am so jealous of those who don't. Those who know what they want to be and can decide are so lucky! So, I have gone back and forth between several ideas and new ones keep coming to mind each and every day. Weird, I know... but hopefully soon I will figure something out. Until then I just gotta keep on keepin on because life goes on! Maybe I just need to be a little bit more like Ferris and be more carefree and let things fall where they may! : ) If only it were that easy!

To most people, Flash Gordon is just a super hero in a red suit, but to me, Flash Gordon is much more!!! : ) He is the greatest dog in the whole world! My dad got him as a present for Christmas 1994 (I believe it was...) so I would have been about 6ish... and I have loved him ever since. But now, Flash is getting old. I really am just so sad about it. Several months ago he went deaf but was still able to run and play and dogs do, but now he is just getting old and is having a hard time just going from sitting to standing. I have dreaded the day that he is going to be put to sleep and the day is coming up soon. I always thought people who loved their animals this much we weird... but I love my dog. He is the best!!!! So, this is to my favorite dog in the whole world!!!
