BEST MONTH EVER!!

So it's been a really long time since I posted...there is a lot to catch up on!! So bear with me, because there might be a lot of pictures and some rambling in this. But here are some of the major highlights and happenings of the past few weeks:

• I got to see the "Cirque Du Soleil: La Nouba" show at Downtown Disney...twice...FOR FREE!! It’s an incredible show, and I’m so glad my roommate gave me the mad hookups. I even got to meet some of the performers. Umm and I have a huge crush on this guy in it, because he goes to church with me. A Mormon circus boy definitely spells trouble! • I applied for an extension to my program. If it's approved, I will be staying at least until May!
• I went to sing some crazy karaoke at Universal Studios’ City Walk. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. This is a picture of me there with my favorite girls from Tomorrowland! We call ourselves the “Buzz Buzz Sisterhood.” Yes, we are dorks. • I realized I have officially moved on from Provo life for the time being...I didn't buy a cap and gown for April graduation at BYU. And I feel really good about it!
• Some famous people may or may not have come to the parks…anyone heard of Johnny Depp or Taylor Swift? 
• I have started applying for some professional internships with Disney that would start in June. These are more specialized than what I’m doing now and lead to more long-term careers with Disney. Pretty exciting!!
• I started attending an awesome marketing class with a friend. I’ll be honest, it’s kind of fun to be in a classroom again. We don’t have homework or anything, so it’s just a lecture series with the big wigs in the company. I can’t wait to hear from the president of the Disney Cruise Line. Hee hee.
• The parks have started getting crazy crowded…Spring Break season is upon us! Therefore I’ve gotten really good at dealing with angry / hyper / grumpy / tired guests.
• And best of all…MY FAMILY CAME TO VISIT!! A few weeks ago I was fortunate enough to get three days off, get them in for free, and enjoy the full Rowley-Disney touring experience. I think we hit everything in each one of the four parks! The weather was almost perfect, and I had so much fun spending time with them. I’m so grateful for their support! And I was only a little embarrassed when they took pictures of me in my lovely space costume. Here is a small sampling of all the pics we took, starting with my very favorite from the whole trip...








Have a wonderful week, everyone!! Life is good if we choose to be happy! :)
