I feel like you might understand that more if you knew more about May.
May was definitely a gray month for me. It had its ups, but by the end of it, things definitely felt more down than up. Not necessarily because of outside forces, but I think my insides were less than thrilled for life. Especially being soo far away from family with Grandma being sick, and missing Lucas' fourth birthday. Soooo... that was May. It was gray.
You might better understand the "gray" and "gloom" if you knew about the San Diego weather phenomenons called "May Gray" and "June Gloom"... basically the name says it all.
So back to June...
It's been phenomenal so far! My roommate Ica arrived on the first! Ok, she's not my roommate anymore... but we still have fun like she is. I didn't see her till the fifth, but we made plans and were texting all before then, so it felt like I had seen her. We made plans to play at Magic Kingdom before I had to work. Ica wore a red shirt... which wouldn't normally be remarkable, but it was Gay Days so anyone who fits into that category or supports that category was also wearing a red shirt. There were a lot of red shirts. We started in Adventure Land and worked our way around to Fantasy Land. Then we got hungry and headed to the Columbia Harbour House for house, which is a pretty good option for Quick Service {they offered more than just the regular burgers and chicken nuggets}. After lunch we jumped in line for the Haunted Mansion where we found my good friend Jarrett Randelle Jones. We spent the rest of the afternoon with Jarrett and his friends who were all celebrating Gay Days, so Ica fit right in, though I stuck out and made us all look like Christmas with my green shirt.
The day was really magical, and I'm soooo grateful to have Ica here in Orlando!
Sunday I went to Church! {YaY} And when I got home my Cousin Kelsey called me with exciting news!!! She's coming to see me on the 16th! I set up a reservation for us at the All-Star Movies Resort and signed up for the Disney Dining Plan! We will spend one day at Disney and then one day at Universal. The rest of the time we're going to fill with pool time and really good food :) {You can read all about it in about two weeks. But you should know I'm filling my free time from now until next Wednesday evening planning where we're going, what we're doing and what we'll be eating.}
Monday was unremarkable... just work at DisneyQuest. After work I was feeling a little sick of testosterone {especially after the car ride home consisted of talk about professional fighting} so I found the most go to girl movie, the Notebook, and watched it. I felt much better after.
Today! I didn't really do much earlier on. I had to run an errand in the afternoon and when I went outside I realized I had wasted a BEAUTIFUL day. But the day was not over! One of my fellow cast members took my shift for today so I could go enjoy the peace and beauty the temple brings to my soul. It was MUCH needed. There was some kind of mix up, so the temple didn't know we were coming, but they still let us do baptisms anyways! We had to wait almost 2 hours, but it didn't feel like that long because Ica and I wandered around the temple grounds contemplating life, and talking about marriage. Funny how that was our main topic for the evening... But that is what the temple is there for. Eternal families. On the drive home we both realized we were hungry. And it took us all of two seconds to decide where to eat. Which may not sound like a huge achievement to you...but to us... THAT'S HUGE! We do not make decisions easily.
