Celebration, FL

Never have i been greeted by so many strangers in my life. Maybe its the Disney part of it...

Love this place. We even saw an alligator in the water :) And the bird above? we saw him catch the fish, kill the fish, eat the fish.

i get to work... where?!

I got to work in Downtown Disney, Orlando, FL for a few weeks. Here are some pics from the adventure :)

That hot air balloon led me to work every day

Outside of Planet Hollywood (across from the theatre), Jenny from Forrest Gump

One of the stops of the Ferry

Outside of LegoLand, This dude's made out of legos! There were also some reenactments of scenes from Disney movies made out of legos.

Fultons Crab House- super expensive & fancy but delicious nonetheless.

Goofy & me at disney breakfast. It was early, so please excuse the appearance. :D

 My super crazy awesome job sent me to Florida. We were technically working on Disney property so we got free tickets to the happiest place on earth!

Mickey & Pluto

The Tree of Life

Me in front of the Magic Kingdom

Coke from everywhere

It's a small world, after all.

Disney World was awesome. I've been to Disney Land a bunch of times, but never to Disney World. We got lucky and went on a day with perfect weather and not too many tourists. Florida's gorgeous and it's definitely a vacation I needed. More pics will be coming :)

work, sleep, work, get a tattoo?

Life has been boring recently. I've been working literally non-stop, but it looks like its about to pay off, as my job will *hopefully* be moving me to phoenix soon! :)

However, I did have some time to get a tattoo...
It's my favorite quote, "Love all, Trust a few, Do wrong to none."

Jersey isn't too much fun, but the city sure is!

We flew out of new jersey on thanksgiving day to help our home theatre for the holiday. Our flight was early afternoon, so whats an irresponsible girl to do for the morning? Head out to the city for the macy's thanksgiving parade, of course! It was cold. it was crowded. but it was sooo worth it.




Oh yeah, i met someone famous. Actually, a few famous people. Unfortunately, they were all made of wax. :D I conquered my fear and agreed to visit Maddam Tussaud's wax museum. It was expensive, but neat.






Thats me & the city skyline. I'm not a huge fan of cities (by any means) but skylines always get me.

Once upon a time, in a city far, far away...

One of my goals this year was to travel to the east coast. While i consider myself fairly well-traveled, the only east coast state i'd been to was florida, and, to me, that didn't count, as i was in a hotel room for the time i was there. Another goal of mine was to find a job that paid me to travel. I was fortunate enough to reach two goals at once. My lovely employer paid me to travel to new jersey to open up a few theatres. I worked a TON (over 90 hours one week) and therefore didn't have much time to travel, but i made it out to nyc a few times, thus these pictures. Above: me at times square the night we flew in from kansas. It was about 2o'clock am, and as you can see the lights caused it to be very bright and people were still milling about.



A reflection picture ( love! ) of me at grand central station, where i got lost looking for a bathroom.



The city as seen from the empire state building, which i later learned isn't the best place to look out on the city. Still, it was quite gorgeous.



A corner of the city


They say the neon lights are bright on broadway, they say there's always magic in the air...




Still to come... our trip to the macy's thanksgiving day parade :)

Hi, i hear your names nex-5, wanna be friends?

Who has two thumbs and just bought a new camera?? THIS GIRL!
i bought it because the only video camera i have is a $100 piece i got right before alaska. it lasted me while in alaska, but i thought it was time to invest in a (sorta) real video camera. I got the Sony NEX-5 and i la la looove it. Its super compact, takes great videos & was relatively cheap (around 800 for the body and two lenses). Obviously, its gonna take me awhile to learn how to really use it, but hopefully i can learn quickly and get a vimeo up soon!
Today (friday nov. 5) marks my one year with the company i'm with. at some point in time, i grew up and get to go on a company trip. i leave in a week for new jersey. expect pictures soon. :D
