It has been about 2 months now since I started at Disney and the reason you have seen a lack of updates from me lies in the fact that I really do not enjoy my job. It has slowly gotten better but for the most part I am not a fan of standing in the sun for 8 hours a day carrying around 10 lbs worth of equipment and dealing with stupid people who ask stupid questions.
Standing in front of It's a Small World a guest asks me "Where is it's a small world?" to which I just point.
A woman comes up to me and asks "where is magic mountain?" I go through the list of mountains we have "space mountain, matterhorn, splash mountain" she says "no we want magic mountain" to which I reply "Magic mountain is about 3 hours north of here. It is a separate theme park" she then decides that she meant space mountain.
Standing at the main entrance by the mickey flowers a woman comes up and asks "how do we get out of this place" to which I point right behind me.
Although some of the stupid questions are entertaining most of the people are just stupid and think they can do whatever they want because they paid to be there. Sadly I am not paid enough to care how much they pay to be there so it can get rather annoying.
That is about it for now. I will rant more later on dealing with Mr. Mouse but for now it is my day off and I am going to have some fun!

Bad blogging
My blogging skills have been less than par as of late but in my defense a lot has been going on. I will try to post everything asap but if not know that my life is not that exciting and you aren't missing too much.
Starting back from my last blog (I don't even really remember when that was) I have graduated, my brother got married, I moved to California, started working for Disney and gotten ill. You know me so lots of pictures if you are just patient and read on.
I wish I could show pictures of my graduation but alas I don't really have any. Others do but I have yet to get these so if you want to see pictures start harassing my sister or father because they are the only ones with them I believe. I attended both graduations (ASU and Liberal Arts and Sciences) and of the two I would have to say the latter was much more enjoyable. The ASU graduation had President Obama speaking so while he gave a very good speech it was not worth the pain and suffering I endured (blisters, peeing in a bush, etc.). My colleges graduation was pretty awesome in terms of a graduation. It was indoors for one, the speaker was just as good and it was much shorter. If you want to know all the agonizing details feel free to ask but for now I will leave you with I don't plan on attending any more graduations for myself, they aren't worth it.
Immediately following my graduation everyone (my mom, ann, matt, paige, granny, and thomas) jumped on a plane to go to Thomas' wedding up in Fresno. The plane ride was awful but that is a story for another day as well. We made it in time for the rehearsal that night and it was an amazing ceremony (short and to the point, my idea of a good wedding) the next day. Vanessa was gorgeous and I will admit that I did cry but can you really blame me? Paige was an adorable flower girl and did a great job walking down the aisle. The reception was a blast and other than the fact that it was so hot it couldn't have gone better. I only have pictures of the rehearsal but hopefully I will get some pictures of the wedding and reception eventually.
The following weekend my amazing friends in Arizona threw me a surprise going away party and it was so much fun to see everyone before I left. Kristen came the next day to help me pack up and move to California (what an great best friend). We filled both trucks but got 90% of my things back to California (man did I have a lot of stuff). Upon getting back to California I was diagnosed with Strep Throat and spent the next few days in bed. Last Thursday I started at Disney with lots of training and orientation Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Sunday I found out that I wouldn't start my OJT till the following weekend so I decided to make a trip back to Arizona to visit my babies and friends.
I am currently sitting in Arizona getting ready to drive back to California so that I can watch Paige in the morning and then run some errands before my training on Saturday. I have a whole other post full of everything Disney but that will have to wait for another time as I need to get on the road to California. I hope everything is going well for all of you who read my not so entertaining blog but thanks to my loyal readers :)

Grand Canyon
My classes were cancelled and I didn't have work on Wednesday so my friend Jonathan and I drove up to the Grand Canyon for the day. These are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.
I was climbing the tree like a monkey!
Jonathan was a bit obsessed with the recycling cans so we took a picture with the last one
This was on our drive home. I thought this cloud looked like a Dinosaur :)

Puppies and Babies
The babies spent the night last week and Tonka and Guinness thought this was the greatest thing in the world because they got to drink the water out of the bathtub when the girls were in there. It was pretty funny because they both wanted to get in with the girls. I am so happy to know that both my boys get along so well with little kids (other than Tonka's tail occasionally hitting someone in the face).

RAAAAAAAAAAVE comes for a visit
My friend from high school, Rave, came for a visit for a few days. We were able to go to a spring training game and see the Dodgers play the Giants. Sadly my Dodgers lost but it was still an awesome game.
Rave rocking it at the game.
The game...kind of
Me!

Some pictures from the last month
For my birthday this year we had a murder mystery birthday party. It was a lot of fun and totally different. This is me with my giant cupcake that my friend Janelle made me. It was very tasty
Nate, Dani and I went to a wedding for Nate's coworker. It was a mormon wedding and Dani and I looked scandalous even though we tried to cover up.
Sophie and I at Ann's 30th surprise birthday party. Chrissy and I took the babies to Disneyland for their spring break which happened to work out so we could all go to the party :)
Thomas, Ann, and I playing rock band at the party. We could be like the Partridge family or something haha

Disneyland Resort College Program
So when I first heard that I had been accepted I was really excited but mainly because I finally had a job and knew what would be happening for the next couple of months. Now that I have talked to some people who have done the college program and have talked to a few people who will be doing the program with me I am actually excited for the opportunity. Never have I considered myself a "Disney Freak" as a lot of people I know are but I do think it would be awesome to work for a company built around (besides making money) making people feel special and magical.
Another thing that I am really excited about is I found out about half way through the program you have the opportunity to try and switch positions and while I think doing photography will be cool I would really love to have the experience of working in one of the hotels at the front desk.
All of you should be excited as well because this means that my blogs should be getting a whole lot more interesting since I will be working with the public once again and we all know how bright the majority of the public is :) and who knows maybe this time I will let someone take a picture of me in my embarrassing uniform.
