Another week is done here in the sunshine state (a term I tend to use lightly..). Sarah turned 23 on Wednesday so that was fun getting to celebrate with her. We went to a piano bar downtown and had a lot of fun! Living with her is one of those things that reminds me to be thankful to the Lord everyday. She is so cool and doesn't even know it. I love her!
My dad was in town yesterday- which just happened to be a day of record rainfall here in Orlando.. I am talking like at least 6 inches. CRAZINESS. But we made the most of it :) We went to Epcot and tried all sorts of food at the Food & Wine Festival. Let me think.. we ate in Greece, France, Belgium (my life will never be the same after eating the belgium waffles from there), Morocco, South Africa and Mexico. Everything was so good! For dinner we ate at the Wave, a restaurant in the Contemporary and it was fun. I love hanging out with my dad! I seriously could not ask for 2 better parents.. I could cry right now thinking about it. I love them so much and having them both here in the same week was incredible.
I am sure by now yall are probably thinking... "does this girl ever work?!" And the answer is yes, yes I do. It might have only been 3 days last week but I worked :) And get this.. They are going to let me start training people. Yes, I am officially a trainer. I am excited! It is really rare for a college programer to receive any kind of "promotion" so I am very humbled and thankful for the opportunity. I know it will be something I will really enjoy doing and will take my time to do well. I will get to train new activities cast members in our 4 resort areas. I will be sure to let yall know when I have my first trainee ;) My home away from home for the past few weeks has basically been the Fort.. which is fine by me! It is beautiful and peaceful there.. for the most part. Last week I did get hassled by a guy calling me a "Liar" over and over again in front of a ton of people.. and for the record, I had never seen this guy in my life so I am not sure what he was referring to. Random sidenote- guests here try to "work the Disney system" and it's really annoying. But other than that, the Fort is a cool place to be. You should see the campsites decorated for Halloween.. it's crazy! Like people have inflatables that move and light up, etc.. They go all out. It's funny because during the day, it feels like it's still summer. We are out on the pool deck having pool parties, blaring music, sweating, dancing.. etc. And then at night, I am in a fleece and gathered around a fire and acting all fall-ish. Best of both worlds I guess! Speaking of fire.. I built the best fire I have ever built the other night. Guests were complementing it and all these other cast members were like "oh my gosh, I wish I had steaks to roast over that thing! It's perfect!". I am not saying that to brag.. if you know me, I am sure you would never picture me as the hands behind such a fire so I am just letting yall know that this girl is coming a long way :) Lol.
Well, I am going to use the next few hours before Starbucks closes to catch up on a few other things. But thanks for reading! Can't wait to be back in Texas in a few weeks! Have a magical day my loves!
All my love,
Lauren
