I'm terrible at updating this! Sorry everyone...

Lots has been happening, sort of. I do a lot of the same things every week, my experience here is similar to how summers feel in Winona. I work full time and have a set schedule that way, but I also get to go out and do things during my days off and even when I'm working. Life is very good, I have no complaints about being here. I can tell it's going to be very hard to go back to the Midwest.

I've officially been to all of the parks, multiple times. I LOVE roller coasters now... the rush is amazing, though I scream the entire time. I have seen 2 different firework shows: Wishes is at the Magic Kingdom, right above the castle and IllumiNations is at Epcot, over the water in the middle of the World showcase. They are both incredible shows and I'm so lucky to be able to see them any night of the week.

It is FINALLY warming up! I have gotten to lay out this past week and enjoy the sunshine. It still is pretty chilly at night, but I'm thankful for no snow or terrible storms. And I'm excited for the Midwest and the warm weather they've been receiving (minus all the rain), maybe it's an early spring! That would be nice for all of you. Florida is so much more enjoyable when it's warm though... I'm very much looking forward to the summer months. Once again, this is going to make it harder to go back home.

Today I got to see a friend from Winona (Kenneth!!) and we went to eat at Rainforest Cafe. The food was SO good and it was refreshing to see a familiar face. Always good to know that when everything seems to be changing, good friends will always be there. I'm so excited with all the good friends I've already made here. And I'm looking forward to visiting a few of them in Australia hopefully next December :) This experience has opened my eyes to so many possibilities and ideas. There is so much that I want to do and so many places I want to go. I don't know if I'll ever have a home... might become a gypsy or something. I just never want to settle for something I don't truly love and I'm learning so much about myself here that my love for things is deepening. I'm finding what is very important to me and there is so much I can do with my life. I have so much to live for and I am truly blessed to have so much and so many wonderful people in my life. Thank you to all of you for touching and impacting who I am, I couldn't do any of this without your love and support.

peace and love,

B
