Day 505...Year 2

Yet another great day with family...

My sweet Great Niece was baptized today and I got to see the rest of my nieces and nephews, along with my sister-in-laws family... I haven't been to a baby baptism in the Lutheran Church so it was a very different and interesting experience for me... My sister-in-law took tons of pictures of all of the family and the baby and then we all headed to this sweet country restaurant in Brighton, Illinois... It just oozed with country charm, from the cedar siding to the miss matched tables, chairs, plates and silverware... The light lunch we had was delightful and the desserts were so delicious...

It was bitter sweet to have to say goodbye to my Great Niece, because the next time I see her she is going to walking without trouble and talking... I guess this is kind of how my Grandma felt when my family moved from Wisconsin to Missouri when I was almost two years old... But thankfully we now have Skype so we can see her when she is at my Big Brother's house... :)

We also had dinner with my middle brother, sister-in-law and my niece and nephew... Then my nephew and I played Wipeout on the Wii... He beat me... It was quite an eventful day, but the fun keeps coming...

Love, peace and let the good times keep coming...

Day 52 of 365

Lesson for today, get down on a childs level sometime and really learn to play. I met my 2md cousin this evening. She is smart, outgoing, entertaining and she is only 3.5 years old. She reminded me how,to have fun tonight and she reminded me what unconditional love looks like. Not only was I invited to tea but.she asked me to read a story with her on the floor. She only knew my bff and I for a few hours yet she gave us both hugs goodbye. Kids are so willing to give others the benefit of the doubt and look beyond the physical appearance and get to know a person, why can't grownups do that as well? Something to ponder... Love, peace and stay away from things fried in grease... Musicsongbird

Day 587...Year 2

As I sit and ponder what I have done over the last almost 6 years at Disney, the one thing that stands out more than anything is how blessed I have been to work with the people I have worked with... My COT mentors, My Core Team, My Training Managers, My Typhoon Team...  I miss my Core Team very much but it makes me feel so good to know that we each support each other in all of our pursuits... I love when I am working at my desk and my IM alerts me and it's one of the Cores... Now I won't be getting those alerts from the Principal... It was a great time celebrating his new Teaching job last night but something I wish we had done was go around the table and share our favorite Principal story... So, I will share a few of mine... I had the honor of being his first Disney trainer in Future World North... It was me against 3 guys and out of the 3 he was the only one that still remains at Epcot... He was the first trainee to turn me bright red and leave me speechless and it...
