I'll be missing you.

August 2nd 2008:
I can’t believe it is the beginning of August already.I leave on the 8th! I can’t even begin to explain how sad I am that I am going home.Not because I don’t miss my family and friends,because I miss them more than they will ever know,but because I am in love with Orlando and Disney. I left my family to come live with strangers and now I feel like I am leaving behind my family again,just a different type of family.The people I have met here are unbelievable and not a day goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars for this opportunity and for being blessed to have met people like the ones I have here. Today I was sad because Chris left last night. Then I got a text from Josh this morning, asking if I wanted a lift to work, which just was lovely that he’d thought of me so that made me smile. And then Luke text me telling me to have a great day which was for no reason and just made me giggle to myself. So literally within minutes of me feeling down, two people had cheered me up. I guess it’s those kind of things I will miss from my time here.

I had a fun day at the marina today. It was Nicole’s (a really nice girl who works with me on weekends) last day at Yacht & Beach because she is transferring to work on Main Street in Magic Kingdom and so me and her had a day of just chatting and being a little bit naughty which was nice because it meant we had extra fun :D I also did my first fishing today!! And I caught a HUGE fish and I was so excited for the rest of today because I did it! I even held it and it was disgusting and it freaked me out a bit but I was proud that yet again I had done something that I hadn’t before I came here!! I think that’s another thing I will miss about being in Disney. Every single day I am here, I learn something or see something or do something that I never have before and I love it because it means every day is an adventure and a learning experience, which to me is priceless because it means I never ever get bored!

I spoke to my Dad today so that I could say Goodbye to him before he goes on holiday with his girlfriend am a bit sad because I have been away for three months and then he is away when he was going to come and pick me up!I was really excited to see him at the airport because he would have been the first person I saw when I got back to England. But I guess not. I’m not too worried though because apparently my Mum and her boyfriend and my little sisters are going to come, so the thought of seeing Emily and Nicola when I get back is more than enough to make me excited to get off the plane. I wish more than anything I could bring them here, that would be perfect!!!

I went to see Cirque Du Solait again last night and it was just as amazing as the first time.I love that show sooo much, I wish they had one in England so I could take my sisters because I know they would love it as much as I did, but never mind, I am determined to bring them here one day whether it kills me. So I will make sure I bring them to see it then! The best part about last night was spending time with Jen and Luke. I love those two to death and I like that we had a night out together before we leave because we’re all working pretty solid for the next week and Jens parents are down and so I just really wanna make sure I spend as much time with them as humanly possible because I am gonna miss them unbelievably when I go home. I wanna make the most of our last couple of days together!

So then…back to today.I got a lift home with Josh and his boyfriend Cody. I think the world of both those boys.They look out for me and they are so kind and caring. They are really genuine guys and they give me lost of cuddles which I love. Josh always dances with me and throws me around at work because he knows how and he makes my day when I work with him, I always look forward to work knowing that Josh is gonna be with me. Cody is such a great guy too. I met him for the first time a while ago when I went to go Mamma Mia and I haven’t stopped thinking he is a little gem ever since! He is such a sweetie and Josh and him always go on about how I should come back and stay with them and stuff. They are like part of my Florida Family and I will miss them more than I can even begin to explain.

Anyway, i should go now and get some sleep because i am back at work on the dock again tomorrow! Sweet dreams x
