DISNEYLAND and L.A.

I was so excited to fly to California Wednesday. I didn't know exactly what to bring, so I was the one with the biggest luggage. Julie said, "at least you have everything you need" and I did. I had no room for souvenirs, but I didn't need to buy anything.

We got our tickets to Disneyland for $55 off E-bay. What was hilarious is that we had to do a short of a drug deal to get them. (That's just the best way to describe it.) Kyle the clubs President at UVU met a guy on a corner who gave us twelve 8 day pass Disneyland tickets. They don't check your I.D. so it worked fine. We got a phone call around 6 p.m. to pass them through the fence over by Space Mountain. Kyle had to leave his drivers license behind in order to get the tickets. It was pretty sketchy but we saved almost $45.

We spent Thursday bouncing back and forth between the parks. I rode everyone ride I wanted at least once. The lines where extremely short, which made it easy to go on everything. I didn't just see the rides; I visited the Tortilla and Sour dough factories and enjoyed the fantasia play at the end of the night. We stayed from the moment it opened, until it closed. It was a blast. My favorite ride was by far the classic, “Splash Mountain”, but I did enjoy the haunted mansion featuring the "Night before Christmas."

The conference went well Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We took a lot back with us to the school. Ideas for fund-raisers, service events, and even school activities. We also learned more about libel and laws when hosting events and what could happen. It was a great way to be informed, especially for me who was just elected last Tuesday.

It was sad to leave California. We had a quick stop in L.A. on Hollywood Blvd. where we got pictures with a dressed up batman, joker, and cat woman. We put our hands and feet in the prints of Will Smith and the Harry Potter stars. We even saw the stars placed in the cement of Michael Jackson and Johnny Depp! We only had 20 minute to spare, so we ran as fast as we could to see as much as we could while managing to capture pictures of course : )!

Lucky me, I got bumped at the end of the night and spent an extra night in CALI. I got to stay in the Westin Hotel that night with free food and a ticket to anywhere I wanted up to $400 dollars within the US. I was lucky and excited! Anyone wanting to go to Boston and New York I will be going this summer, I can’t wait to see home.

I'll post picures as soon as I get them up. I left Wed.-Mon. to Cali and am now leaving tom. for North Carolina tell Sunday. Than I am back Monday and leave to Arizona tell that following sunday. Life is really good sometimes! I can't wait to see COOPER THOUGH.
