2008: The Year of a Million Dreams

So, 2008 really was the year of a million dreams for me, but I've decided just to talk about 8 of them.

MY 8 MOST MAGICAL MOMENTS OF 2008:

1. Mickey & Minnie's visit in Richmond - July 2008


Being able to take these two around a children's hospital was by far the most amazing day of my life. I laughed, I cried, and I will never forget how many people were truly touched by their visit. It was even more amazing because I was able to get a sneak peek at what I want I truly want to do for the rest of my life.

2. The Spice Girls Concert - Feb. 2008


So after being a huge fan of the Spice Girls in 5th grade - I was finally able to see them in concert with some very good friends. The day after the concert, we met Baby Spice in Gucci.

3. Going to Disneyland - July 2008

Not that Disney World isn't my most favorite place in the world - but Disneyland is where it all started & being able to be there was beyond magical.

4. Figuring Out The School Thing - Oct. 2008

I figured I'd be in school an extra semester and have to be by myself for a few months at Mason. After a meeting with my advisor - I realized I only need to take two summer classes and then can get out of here!

5. Being A Princess on My 22nd Birthday - Oct. 2008

After joking about it for a while - my friends and I actually were Dead Disney Princesses for my 22nd Birthday / Halloween. We may not have won the costume contest (we lost to Michelle Obama), but I think we were one of the favorites of the night. And we got to flitz around like Princesses.

6. Celebrity Meet & Greets - Jan. - Dec. 2008

All year long, my job allowed me to have the chance to meet some awesome people who also happened to be famous. Raven was one of my favorites because she was so goofy. Corbin Bleu also ranks in the top as he was so chill about hanging out with us. And Genieve from Choo Choo Soul was beyond beautiful.

7. Enjoying My Jobs - Jan. - Dec. 2008

I get to hang out (work) with some of the most amazing people in the world. Their energy and passion for what they do is something that has inspired me during long shifts and hot shows and because of their friendships - I've been able to have more fun at work than ever before.

8. Relizations About Relationships - Jan. - Dec. 2008

So in 2008 I realized how lucky I am to have some of the best friends in the world. I've shared so many emotions with these folks that I didn't even know exsisted. But they do. And I'm very happy that I was able to share a large part of who I am with them and I'm happy they shared themselves with me too. I don't know who I'd be without them.


So - 2009 is going to be my year to celebrate.
