Update

I am sure you are all dying to know what I have been doing since I have been off work from the 24th. Spending time with Kyle and Mom. Kyle leaves tomorrow morning so I have tried to do as much as I can with him. He brought his Wii and we played it a ton. My arms hurt we have played it so much and with such intensity. We had a good Christmas, I got what I asked for (a vacuum, some towels & PJ's, a card for my digital camera, Pirates 3 - thrilling eh?) and it was nice. Played a lot of Wii, in fact I am going to buy one with the help of Dad and Laurie as a graduation gift. Well, when I can find one I'll get one. Mom, Kyle and I went to see Charlie Wilson's War (never realized the impact he had) and got tickets to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They were neat. More than I expected. Nothing really else other than I have gotten the chance to read books that I want to and for no real reason other than to enjoy them. Odd concept. In all honesty, I am waiting for next Saturday when I board a plane to go to Antigua for a friend's wedding. Sun, beaches and nothing to worry about... sounds about perfect after graduating with an MBA. What a way to celebrate two milestones!

Before It's Too Late!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! I hope your Holiday season has been wonderful and that you get to spend Christmas with family and friends. Safe travels and enjoy the time you have to spend with family. Kyle's back home from taking his girlfriend to South Bend, IN today. He brought his Nintendo Wii with him so we'll be busy!

Announcing....

Danielle Ford, MBA!!! Yes, as of yesterday, you can all now call me Master Danielle. I have diploma in hand and therefore I am much smarter than yesterday. The best part was Kyle came home and I didn't know. I guess everyone else did. Saturday morning mom called to say she had something to drop off before graduation. I opened the door and it was Kyle. It was awesome. It was the best gift ever. I had a graduation party and the weather did not cooperate, but it was fine. My closest friends were there and so was Kyle so that is all that matters!!

Me, Darren & Porscha

I Love Warm Weather

So leaving Florida yesterday to come home to wonderful Ohio weather leaves a little to be desired. I left warm, sunny 80 degrees for gray. Neat....

Disney was great. We went to MGM studios on Friday afternoon and the Magic Kingdom all day on Saturday. Crowds were not that bad and we only had to wait 40 minutes for a few rides. Overall it was a good day. I don't care how old you are, when you see that castle it makes you feel like a little kid all over again.
In the event you cared, I still remember the park layout like I was just there a week ago (yes I am a nerd). It was great to go back and for the most part we got everything done that the Magic Kingdom had other than the lame or really little kid stuff. I got to see the parade at night too which I totally remember from when I was a kid. I love Disney World and probably always will... Hard to believe I graduate on Saturday considering just a few days ago I felt like a little kid in a play land where everything is just fine and life is good.....

MICKEY!!!!

Yes I am a 29-year-old little kid. Does anyone have a problem with that?

I leave Tuesday for Orlando for training for Light The Night. (I wouldn't be going if I didn't have to. Give me a break, I have been doing this for six years now.) Anyway my two staff people and I have plans to stay the weekend and go to Disney World. It has been years since I have been and yes, I love it, I can't help it. We are only going to MGM Studios and The Magic Kingdom, but it is enough for me. The weather also looks like it is going to be nice so that will only add to the trip. I'm pumped, did I mention I I love it and yes I am 5.
