I love Disney date nights. They're the best. 

And I love this sweet picture of Minnie and Mickey. <3

Disney End Table

So, I finally finished refurbishing an end table my mom bought at a yard sale a couple of months ago. I took a pink, 3-tiered end table and turned it to a multi-colored, Disney-themed end table that I will be taking to Florida with me (so roomies, get ready to be the envy of our complex! :p).

I took that table from this:

To this:

And a closer look at each section:

The bottom:

From my favorite Princess movie. :)

The middle:

One of my favorite quotes.

And the top:

Mickey and Minnie...using the Disney Channel logo! :)

I'm ridiculously proud of this table, and I can't wait to get it into the apartment! :)

Reasons Why I Love Disney [[Day 7]]

I'm in a pretty lovey-dovey mood today. My boyfriend does this to me occasionally ;p. So, what's a better reason for loving Disney today than by showing the original Disney couple? None that I can think of. :)

Signs That I Was Always Meant To Work At Disney Part 1

So, in my first post on this blog, I mentioned that I was pretty much destined to work at Disney from day 1. I know I mentioned my 1st and 6th birthday parties being Disney themed. Well, I have come across some more evidence that Disney was always in my future.

Last May, I got the opportunity to travel with some of my classmates and our professor to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge, SD. It was an amazing trip, and very eye opening. The 10 days that we spent out there changed my life, and I'm so glad I got to go. While we did get to see Mount Rushmore and the Crazy Horse monument, the main reason we were out there was to see what the educational system on a reservation is like, and to help out at one of the schools. We were education majors, after all.

So anyway, the first day that we were at the school that we worked at, we got tour it. On pretty much every wall in that school was a painting, and most of those paintings are related to the Native American heritage of most of the kids at the school.

So how does a school on an Indian reservation tie in with my destiny to work at Disney? Take a look at some of the paintings that were on 2 of the walls in the school:

Did I have to have my picture taken with them? Um, of course.

And trust me when I say that when I saw these paintings, I got really excited! :)

Look for posts where I have pictures from my 1st and 6th birthday parties. :)
