Ah! I am almost giddy with excitement. But sadly, I can't share the source of my giddiness JUST yet. I am so good at keeping secrets but this one is just about to make me bust. haha. So since I can't exactly share just yet... I will change the subject.
Things are in the works for me to change parks. =) So if this happens I will get to have the same days off as Trevor, we will be schedule for close to the same shifts and I will be in my favorite park - Hollywood Studios which is still near and dear to my heart as MGM. It is my favorite because of the theming. I love old Hollywood, movie sets, etc. Alas, I was definitely born in the wrong time period. :)
I worked a short shift today which was greatly appreciated. I got off work at 7:45 and Trevor was waiting out the Magic Kingdom cast parking lot for me. We got supper and then headed to Wal-mart for some much needed grocery shopping. We have both decided that it will be work driving the extra 10 minutes to go to a different Wal-mart that is less of a tourist trap. Needless to say, I miss the slow pace and organization of the Wal-marts back home.
I work a long and late shift tomorrow but then I have Wednesday and Thursday off. I have made a commitment to myself to get to sleep at a decent hour and get up no later than 10. I need to make the most of my day and I want to make more time for two of my favorite things: working out and laying out at the pool. :)
Well, enough rambling for now. Good night and sweet dreams!

Wishes
Last night was amazing. As I worked outside at Ursa's Hat Cart, I had the opportunity to see Wishes in a completely different light. Not as a guest, not as a cast member peeking my head outside of the door to catch a glimpse of the fireworks, but as a spectator of the guests. The looks on peoples faces, the wonder, the excitement and the realization of all the possibilities - I saw it all first hand. And I won't lie... It definitely gave me goosebumps.
It was beautiful and the understanding, once again, that I am a part of making the magic hit me. There is no real way to describe it. It was so special.
This is a picture Trevor and I took a few days ago after he got off work. My Angel is in his costume and I must say that I think he is completely adorable. The last few weeks have been hard as we have adjusted to working and having different schedules. But it has become easier as we have learned to take every moment and savor them. The sweet moments in the morning before we even get out of bed, where we lay there and can find complete bliss in just looking into each other's eyes. =) Those and seeing him waiting on the couch when I get home from work(yes, the roles are usually switched from how I wish they would be) and he just opens his arms in such a welcoming manner. I love being in his arms, it is so precious to me.
I firmly believe that my parents are right: Happiness is being married to your best friend. And I have such a wonderful earthly best friend!

EDIT: Well I thought this had posted yesterday but apparently it didn't ;) So here it is: better late than never, right?

Greetings from Orlando, FL!
Greetings from the beautiful, wonderful, happiest place on earth(aka, Walt Disney World). We have been here a week and a half.
Our new apartment is beyond nice. Trevor and I have been taking full advantage of the pool and fitness room. Trevor is working at Hollywood Studios on Sunset Blvd doing quick service food and beverage and I am in Tomorrowland Merchandise at the Magic Kingdom. Their has been some talk about transferring me to Studios after the summer so that Trevor and I can work the same shifts - which would be BEYOND nice! But I have second thoughts about it. Though Studios is my favorite park because of it's theming, I love Magic Kingdom and I work with some of the most amazing people. We will see how God leads in this situation.
On our days off we are enjoying playing in the parks and taking advantage of the resorts. Trevor and I both had today off and went to Animal Kingdom for the morning and early afternoon. We didn't see everything but it was nice to know we could go in for a few hours and leave. Trevor keeps reminding me that we have 7 months here but I can't help but want to fully enjoy every minute of it!
We are about to head to Downtown Disney to take in a movie but I just wanted to update my blog (even though it is just you reading, Heather). :) Pictures to come from our adventures this afternoon.

Moving Madness
I type this as I sit in my apartment which completely lacks furniture and is entirely consumed by boxes. We have so much to do and so little time to make sure it all gets taken care of.
Needless to say, Trevor and I are both beyond excited about moving to Orlando. We are both in love with the Orlando area and specifically Disney World. 7 months of playing there sounds alright with me. :)
We are heading to Jackson on Wednesday night so that I can sing with Poppa. Thursday we will come back here with Patty and load up everything that will be going with us. Friday night is Eli's graduation and then as soon as it is over we will start the first leg of our trip. Right now the plan is for us to leave straight from the graduation and stay the night at Ashley Paige's on the coast. Saturday we will drive until we hit Orlando. :)
We will be staying with my Uncle Sunday-Wednesday morning. Wednesday morning we will be checking into our new apartment at 9 am. The next few days will be filled with Traditions, where we will be orientated into the Disney College Program and find out more about each of our jobs.
To sum it all up, despite all of the hard work, I am SUPER excited. :)

School, Apartment "Updates", etc.
School is going really well right now. It is great to be able to focus completely on school and not have to work. I am not sure how much longer that will last, but I am thoroughly enjoying it for as long as I can. I am really excited about actually having time to work ahead on projects and I hope that I will keep on doing it even after I start working again. The naps every afternoon are really nice as well.
Apartment... well, the night Trevor and I got back into town from our honeymoon, we noticed that our roof was leaking and sagging in the bathroom. After a week or so of having what we named the "lovely toilet water" from above spattering all over our bathroom. They worked Tuesday through Thursday last week replacing the toilet and flooring upstairs. Today they came in and replaced our bathroom ceiling. It really spoke volumes that they came in as soon as we put in our maintenance request and worked until it was fixed.
I have been enjoying organizing everything. The one of the best parts is being able to cook lunch and dinner for Trevor everyday and have it ready for him when he walks in the door. It is just so fulfilling. :) I also love having my sisters and our friends over. Almost every night there is someone over at the apartment and I LOVE it. Trevor and I both love all of our friends over but it still allows us to have some good quality time together.
Just as a quick side note, it amazed me that no matter a person's age, they still result to the immature levels of making everything a competition. People who rosey up their lives and try to make everything sound as close to perfect as possibly, really are just making a blaring statement that they hate their life and are trying to convince others as well as themselves that they are living the picture perfect life. I feel sorry for these people. And I hate to admit it, but, at times, they make me laugh.

2 days!
I have been writing in my journal but decided to make a random entry here while I wait in the Interior Design house for my teacher so that I can turn in my project that is due tomorrow.
I am going to give myself *happy* points because not only did I get this project done and it looks really good(if I do say so myself), but I am turning it in early. It annoys the mess out of me people know when things are due but continually procrastinate. In the case of this project, we got an extension of two day and I had mine done before the original due date. But because of printer problems here at the ID house, it hasn't gotten plotted yet. Also, I chose to take a test early and I turned in a portion of my paper that is due in 2 weeks for reviewing and received extra credit. :)
So far, I am rather pleased with my morning.
I have been busy setting up home in the little apartment that I will share with Trevor. It is so exciting. I know it isn't small but we won't be in Hattiesburg forever(I mean, honestly, we don't even want to be in Mississippi for more than we have to) so there is no point in looking into something "bigger and better".
In 2 days I will be a married woman! True to prediction(a large joke among me and some close friends) I am the first Clegg girl to marry and the first one "living on my own".
Besides not enjoying school entirely, life is amazing and wonderful. I am beyond happy!
