tough times never last but tough people do

Today was a more rough day, then easy.  I woke up know that it was the going to be a crummy day, it was a day to think about mortality.
Then it hurt because, I miss my sisters SO much. I want them to have this same experience. I want them to feel the sunshine, i want them to explore disney with me. I want to share secrets.  I want to share laughs and giggles. It is as though a part of me, is missing, a huge hole that i can't seem to fill. Then i remember i am paving the way for them, by going out of my comfort zone i am showing them that there is a world out there, and we can visit. That your dreams really can be met. If you had told 5 year old Keshia that one day I would be working at Disney! I would be the happiest girl in the WORLD, if you had told 16 year old, heck if you had tole 19 year old Keshia that I would be working in FLORIDA, and i would have done it myself! I would of never believed that it was possible. But here i am, front and center, facing new situations i never would of found myself in back home. I am making new friends that are quickly become the dearest, and the sort to be life friends <3 I am learning more and more about myself. THings i thought i wasn't' capable of I am now doing. Keshia who is terribly shy talks to strangers on a daily basis. I grocery shopped via the bus (WHICH I DON'T RECOMMEND)  it was not a a good venture!  and TODAY  MY ROOMATE WAS HIT BY A DEER, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT THERE WERE DEER IN FLORIDA!!!!

THe world goes, on... I am so glad the i am the forgiving person that I am. I am glad that I was able to have a positive outlook, rather then be bitter about the way my life has played out. I am glad that I am ME. I am glad that for every challenge that has come before me. Because each of those challenges taught me a new lesson. A lesson i have taken with me to be what i am now. and who i am now is who i want to be. I am in the right place, at the right time, with the right people.

Anyone's life truly lived consists of work, sunshine, exercise, soap, plenty of fresh air, and a happy contented spirit.

I am just a summer girl, i wear my flip flops, and when i wear my hair down thats when the party starts. and who needs a boyfriend i got my girlfriends.

So here i am following two days off and I am about to head to work and i had some thoughts to put down. I am so thankful for my best friends, she is there for me even when she is across the country and i happen to be crying in taco bell. I have no idea what i would do with out that girl. She picks me up when i don't want to stand anymore, when i am about to throw in the towel she pushes me forward. I have no idea what i did to deserve her, but i will spend my whole life, thanking God for sending her to me.  I wish she was here with me to enjoy this sunshiny, we actually its more on the chilly side, no sun shine for this girl <3

Again a picture tells a thousand words <3

in one day i went to Hollywood and saw lightning McQueen save the day!

Went to Morocco and took a shot at belly dancing :)

 hung out with Lizzy pants

back to hollywood and did some shopping 

took a nice little ride in the a forbidden police car <3 thanks random cast member for opening in the gate for us. We are the only ones who have this shot, unless they broke the rules :)

went to the beach club, where we had to check out the bathroom, and for comic relief to all you who read this other than myself. I wanted to take the really cool towels home but had no other place them my shirt <3 .....don't worry i didn't take the towels....

i love the beach!!!! even if it is a fabricated beach and your not allowed to swim in it either, oh and there was probably gators in there somewhere

FLorida has given my my first blister and splinter...thank you Florida thank you!
 I ended my days off with some outlet shopping, grocery shopping and a girls night in with masks and a movie. I think it is safe to say that i love my life here in FLorida. Feel free to come visit <3

who knew working for a mouse.....

Today marks day 7, and my first day off in what seems like ages! I came to Disney knowing things would be rough, i would have to work long ours, and indeed bring sexy back in some sort of costume, and that there would be humidity, and "weird smell". I hoped i would have great roommates and a great time.  IT TURNS OUT,  I was right about the hard work :) I have been going from the second i got off the plane. signing my life away in paperwork, information being thrown at me, and then is there any other way then to be thrown into work. I have hit some rough patches along the way, moments when i think i made the worst decision EVER. Moments when i want to sit down and cry.
Then i consider this: everything has gone smoothly, i can't remember a time when something in my life went smoothly.  I know with out a doubt that i am where i need to be, I have such a strong testimony of priesthood blessing, and i am so grateful my grandpa thought to give me one.
I am not sure what i am supposed to learn here in Florida, but i am here, and with a good attitude to work.
OH i am a park greeter for Hollywood Studios, while its not glamourous, or well exciting.....i am glad to be me, i am glad that I love life, that i can make each day filled with magical moments for me. I have seen so many different shapes and sizes, and temperaments of people (and a whole lot of Brazilians!!!!)

Also, i am thankful, for my life especially the rough bits, because now i am surrounded by my peers, who have never been away form home, how DON"T know how to cook, or budget, or CLEAN. I am proud because i came across the country, and i am supporting myself, in ways they are not.  I may be just eating PB&J, but i did it on my own. I may not have as much stuff, but everything i have i have earned, it wasn't given to me, i earned it. and for that i am proud to be me.

Just a small note

Not much to say, but i am now in Orlando, I am loving every stressful second of it! I have really cool roommates.

 WE are all crazy fun! its only been a few days, but it feels like we have been here weeks! I have been background checked, finger printed, ruled out, and partied out! We had a welcome to DCP party. I got to take pictures with MINNIE AND MICKEY! and i saw Lilo and Stich, oh and we danced out little heart out! so basically i could write so much about all the stuff i have learned! but a picture is worth a thousand words...so i will let them speak for me!

True story!

A good book should leave you exhausted by its end

Those of you who know me, can probably recall me using every extra moment to read. This caused me a few bumps and bruises, who knew walking and reading could be so.....you know :) well, I am going through a lot of anxiety because i have been waiting for a book for so long, and the author keeps posting "sneak peeks" and they are making it all so much worse :) but i can't not look. It seems to me that I have a problem, but at this point unless the author decides t sent me a copy of her book 5 months early. I guess i will just have to continue to mope around the house. wondering what comes next.......Who ever said people only have one life OBVIOUSLY never read a good book. (i suppose i should tell you the book i am lusting after) It is the new Immortal instruments book. If you have not read them you most defiantly should! she has a sister series which is just as good called the infernal devices (ooooh how i love the word infernal...don't you, it has such a nice ring to it...infernal)
i own the earlier books, but they are packed in my storage unit, is it said that i am contemplation purchasing it again so that i may read it more conveniently?

In my own life, out side of my book drama :) I am on Day 7 of my count down! can't believe it! it still hasn't hit me yet that i am moving across the country for 8 months...maybe even more. I started to pack, and i surprising don't have along of things to go, but due to space issues, my blender is not deemed as a necessity. I guess there will be no midnight smoothies for this girl. because you know how i love my smoothies:)

OHHHHHHHHHHH, so i ordered some cherry chips off ebay, they were my favorite thing as a kid when i was younger. The girls and i proceeded to make our child hood cookies....you all better me envyous because i make a mad cherry chip cookies :)

Last of the Last

Tomorrow is technically my last day, but turns out that i will really be in a lot next week.
non the less that fact has be excited. My new luggage came in, can i get a woo woo!
Stress is a staple in my life, and can't wait to be a Disney employee! 11 more days!!
