YEP, STILL HERE...
I'm still here at the Crowne Plaza recuperating and waiting for my ship to come in. I'm much much better, but I'm still tired as can be. I've been working on my school work, trying to get as much done as I can before I jump on the ship. I'm getting a little razzing by my YA peeps on ship but it's all good. Don't have a lot to say today except i truly do feel better. Trying to eat and get some energy and not be tired or have a headache but one step at a time is good enough.
Ciao for now!

Not so fast...
Well... things changed ever so quickly yesterday after the last post. I was tired and hungry so I ate dinner and boy did that go wrong! Not too long after that I found myself on the phone with my mom and the doctor trying to figure out what to do. I was shaking and throwing up ... not good is what I'm trying to say. Long story short I ended up in the ER after an ever so kind pick up from the neighborhood ambulance. Had lots of tests and anf got some IV fluids and finally returned to the hotel at around 3am. Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong night of shaking and being thirsty while in a hospital bed with the IV and meds to help me out. I was in a hallway which was not ideal by any means. It as waaaaay bright and waaaaay loud, you know the kind of loud that happens when you have that headache that makes you want to just die.
So now I'm stuck in the hotel until Thursday morning. :( NOT excited about that. I'm ready to get the show on the road and get back to my Wonder family. I will work on my school work for the next few days and see what I can knock out of the park.
I'm a bit tired at the moment so I am going to go take a nap while I still have that ability.
Brighter days ahead though so this was just a bump in the road.

NEW ADVENTURES: NO REGRETS
Alright alright. It's time for me to head back to the water. Tomorrow...actually in 6 hours I leave the comfortable confines of my home and hometown to head back to the craziness and yes fun of Disney Cruise Lines. I have spent the last 8 weeks enjoying a little down time, studying, relaxing, and traveling with my family.
Mom and I as usual decided to go on a few trips and as usual they revolved around soccer. Salt Lake City for FC Dallas fun and Toronto for MORE FC Dallas fun. It's been a wild, sometimes crazy ride and I am sad to see the time come to an end but excited to get back out there and accomplish more.
My motto for my 29th year is NEW ADVENTURES: NO REGRETS. So far I've accomplished some of that with my bungee jumping and am hoping to head back out to see the world. Open my eyes and my heart and see what happens. Wish me luck if you know what I mean. I'm not the most open person in the world, lol.
Tonight, mom and I went to the airport to check in early and ask some questions. She cried on the way back and I cried because she cried. When we dropped off Claudine... I cried, when i hugged my cousin goodnight/goodbye... I cried... I didn't cry when I said goodbye to my favorite neighbor but he's good for hte laughs. I am quite positive I am going to cry in the morning. It's a long time but I will say it's not the length of time it's the actual time of the year. Christmas is a BIG time in my family. We are always together no matter how much we are hating each other. I like to say I love you even when I hate you. It's when I don't care anymore that we have a problem. Imani called this evening after we dropped her and JJ off at Jasons house and she was crying. She missed my is what she said. "I'm not even gone yet! You can't miss me!"
Operation write letters and take pictures begins tomorrow. Much love to everyone and please keep in touch while I'm on ship. It's always fun to see comments from my back home gang!!

It's a day for giving thanks... HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Well, well, well. It is the end of another Thanksgiving and the true beginning of another grand holiday season. The family was all together today (mom, jason, imani, jj, pam and then we added the neighbors: Lonnie and Dennis, Claudine (the sister I never had) and Sylvia (another sister that I never had).
I re-packed all of my clothes with the help of my mother. I think that I am over thinking all of this again (as usual). I had already packed and then felt the need to repack and add my entire wardrobe. It's not all in there but MAN it might as well be. My two bags are filled to the brim and are at the door waiting for me to put them in the car. Crazy, five months is a while but it's all about new adventures: no regrets.
Give thanks for your loved ones on this day. Some have recently lost their loved ones, some are yet to find their loved ones... there are a lot of diffrent ideas that run through my mind. I'm excited for holiday music, I'm excited for Christmas Trees, I'm just plain 'ol excited all together!!! Not sure who is going to be my roomnate, but I hope they love it and are good to do.

Happy Birthday
Okay, okay... so it was my birthday this weekend. Birthdays to me are a time when you remember the definitive moments of the past year and look forward to creating more and having more amazing memories. My birthday weekend was amazing... i did all the things that I said I wanted to do... bungee jumping, bowling, dinner with friends and family. A bit of stress sprinkled in there and voila... that's my birthday weekend in a nutshell!
My heart goes out to my friend Cat who lost her best friend and husband John this past friday. She is an amazingly strong person and I pray that God gives her the strength to get through this tough time. She has a birthday tomorrow and i hope that she delves into the memory bank of the good times she has had/ they have had. My heart and good vibes are headed up to Indy.
It's within 2 weeks of my return to the ship and then I get down to the nitty gritty again. Gone for the holidays and for most of the spring, I am trying to soak in the environment and remember hte fall air and all tha tjazz from my home town and state. TEXAS you are beautimus and I will miss you but this is an amazing time in my life that I know I will remember for the rest of my life.
Life is good right now... lovin those around me and those that are my new family, my Wonder family.
Anyway, my blog will get going again starting November 27th.

HELLOOOOOOO UTAH!
Welcome to the beehive state!! The weather here is AMAZING. Everytime I come up here, I feel like I could move here ... clean air, clean city... beautiful mountains, public transportation and fun... what more could you ask for?
You know my mom and I love love love to travel together and since I didn't end up going out to Los Angeles (sad face) i thought "Why not come up to Utah and watch some good soccer?" DONE!
We got up early and although scheduled to leave at 12:40pm we happened to get on the 6:00am flight. Mike was a bit thrown off... no worries though, mom and I jumped on the bus and the train. The only thing we were missing of hte planes, trains and automobiles was the automobile (mom said we have that one for next time, lol... her feet are a bit tired).
21 days until i leave to go back to Florida. I have soooo much to do! SCHOOL, SCHOOL, SCHOOL!! That is all that I have on the agenda. I couldn't get on the school intranet but am hopeful that when I return I will be able to sign on. Anywho... bought some amazing clothes today from the rack and am rip roarin ready to go i think with clothes for contract #2.
Goodnight and goodluck!!
