"Fulfilling a Need"

I’m sorry about my lack of blogging over the past couple of days friends. I was just soaking up all the time with my family that I could. Well half of that is over. Tommy, Jessica, Anna Claire, Emily, and Jordie left me today to head back to normalcy. Uhh. After chasing the bus, I decided it was probably just better that I headed back to the room. Though I loved having them here, it was such a tease—tempting me with what’s waiting for me at home!
Around 10 o’clock the replacements we ordered came in; Mamaw and Papaw Art got here. ☺ We sat and talked with them for a while, before deciding to head out to Hollywood Studios to try and catch the “Festival of Lights” (and absolute must if you’re going to be visiting Disney during the holidays!). Since we had some time to kill, we decided to wait in an hour and a half line. Sounded like that much fun at the time too. Alex wanted to ride Toy Story Mania since he hadn’t ever gotten to. Well after enduring 45 minutes of pure “fun,” Mamaw and I decided to peace out and find ourselves the nearest bench—that’s where we spent the good majority of our time catching up.
Around 5, we all ran for shelter because it looked like God was going to start the prologue for “The Flood 2: Tsunami from Heaven.” We decided that it was best to probably just grab dinner while we were waiting. As soon as I finished eating, I headed back out to my car so that I could get over to the Magic Kingdom for work.
I ended up getting there over an hour early. Man, what am I going to do with my time? I found a costuming friend of mine and we just tried on costumes while management wasn’t looking. Our code word, “crabs,” was very effective.
After finishing up the fashion show, I get all dressed and ready to head off to the parade center. I got there and found my friend Bill. One of the hardest things about being down here was not having a good Christian friend (despite Jessica) to talk with. Deep conversation is so important to me. Have I mentioned before that God is awesome? Who does He send? Bill Shafer. He’s the husband of the leading actress in “Fireproof” (who also works at Disney I might add)! We spent all of our off time just talking about lots of different things. It was wonderful! I haven’t had a double parade go by the quickly before! He gave me some great books to look into reading and I’m so excited! Plus too, the fam came to see me again (they’re dedicated—this is like the 5th time they’ve seen me). It was a phenomenal night!
