Happy Birthday Sister!

This past week went by pretty fast, I worked, read, and played guitar. This weekend my sister and brother-in-law were in town because my sister's birthday is on Monday. It's always fun having them here. We went to see some good friends and their clan of 6 kids on Friday. I love watching them as a family, there is so much love, understanding, and acceptance. I hope that if/when I have kids that I can be something like them. We played games on the wii, read books, played with toys, and were serenaded by a 6 year old holding a guitar. :)

Saturday my sister, her husband, and I all went to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D! All of these Disney movies from my childhood being in theatres again makes me seriously miss being a kid. I still laugh in all the same places I did as a kid, and Disney movies are still magical to me.

Alright 3D glasses!

Saturday evening was my sister's birthday dinner at Brixx. There were about 11 of us. Laughs and amazing pizza were had by all. After dinner we all went back to my parent's house and had coffee and key lime pie cupcakes that my mom made. They were heavenly! Everyone gave Lauren her gifts, I got her Disney wine glasses and I made this:

It's pictures of us from the last 6 or 7 years of significant life events like graduations, prom, her wedding, or fun trips we've taken together. I think she really liked it, and I really liked making it and remembering all of those fun things we did.

I love my sister so much. She is my only sibling and my older sibling, so even though I may have disliked her when we were younger, she has always been there for me. I am so happy that she is married to a wonderful man, works at a great job, and is the successful woman she is today. She is strong, smart, beautiful, and I definitely got lucky in the sister department. I know 26 will be one of the best years yet for her!

This Thursday I have a preliminary phone interview with the cruise recruiting company, and if that goes well I will have an interview in Toronto on February 11th. So this cruise thing might actually happen! Although I've found myself being a little torn between working on the cruise and moving to LA sooner. If I work on the cruise ship, I won't be able to move to LA until September, but I will save a whole lot of money. If I move to LA in May I might be out more money, but I will be in LA. I've kinda decided if I make it all the way through the interview process with the cruise and get hired, it's probably a sign that I should do it. LA will still be here when I get back, and I will be much more financially stable to make that move.  So, we shall see.  

This week, I might get my second job, and this weekend I'm going to NYC to see some people I love dearly. I'll be sure to pack warm!
