Macrame the day away

I'm really excited about this project I just finished.
I found the idea for it off of the beloved Pinterest.

The actual process was super easy to do!

I just followed a helpful how to found here.

I choose to do a rainbow effect of colors for my headphones.

I kinda wish I would've done smaller sections of more colors.

But oh well... that would have required more starts and stops.

However be warned that it was quite a time extensive project.

Andy Grammer

Front row tickets to one of my favorites!

It was such a great night!

A great singer, and a great show!

We were SO close that  we got to touch him!

{He even sweated on us at one point}

Plus I was with my favorite people in the world!

All in all 2011 has been one heck of a year!!

A year I will definitely never forget!

Can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for me!

Universal Studios

The last day in Florida we spent at Universal Studios.

I felt kinda like a traitor... it was definitely no Disney!

But it was my first time at Universal and we still had a good day!

Plus Devin got to join our family and later on Matt met up with us too.

Here are a few glimpses of the fun we had:

Last week at Disney

What a blur!

Little to no sleep and days jam-packed with fun!

Some time for roommates, some time for work, but mostly time to party with my family after being away for SO long!! 

Got to delight in Disney Park delicacies.

Got to see the whole, full-on Electrical parade.

{I've heard the parade countless amounts of times and I've seen the top of it from the Emporium doorway numerous amounts of times; but I've never watched it as a guest before.}

Along with dancing with my family to keep warm as we waited for it to arrive = priceless.

Got to sleep in a sailboat bed. {For the few hours of sleep I got}

Got to make a family totem pole in "Canada".

Got to celebrate personal triumphs.

Got to share my love of Cinderella's castle.

Along with The Magic, The Memories, And You with my family.

But the greatest of all...

I got to be with my very bestest friends again!

Last shift at the Emporium

Even though I might have complained at times,

and wanted to play in the parks more than go to work...

I'm really going to miss this place!

It was extremely hard and frustrating at times working in one of the busiest stores in the world! 

Let's be honest here... I got sworn at daily, told that "I ruined whole vacations", and even occasionally threatened for things far out of my control. But as I look back now I wouldn't change one minute of it!

I learned a lot about myself, I learned a lot about the world, I met some amazing people (coworkers and guests), and I made some great friends!

I cannot even believe that it is time for this experience to come to an end! The next few days are going to be filled with some tough goodbyes!
