Day 7 - my dream job & why my parents are the best!

Dream job for me?

Is Disney movie watching a job?

[I'm being serious!]

I'd absolutely love to work in Disneyland! Or in any other Disney related workplace! But I know that won't be happening any time soon :'(

But I need to be realistic. Right now I'm focused on school, starting college {at the best university ever!} and preparing to serve a mission for me church.
I'm pretty jealous of all my mormon guy friends that don't have an awkward year in between finishing high school and going on a mission for my church but I'm sure I'll still have a great 19th year of life (which starts in 27 days people!!), even if it isn't dedicated to serving a full-time mission.

Oh boy do I get easily distracted!

So what is my real dream job?

Besides dreaming of working for the best company ever, and hoping to use my love for languages to inspire and help others [either whilst serving a mission or working as an elementary teacher in a foreign country (teaching English in Africa or working in an international school in Dubai would be amazing!)], one of my greatest aspirations is to be a mother.

Moms are the best teachers in the world! They nurture and teach their children in a way the word cannot. Parents truly are the best. My dad has taught me patience, finding happiness in random things,  80's trivia and given me a sense of humor (it still isn't as great as my dad's). My mom on the other hand has taught me all things I need to be a great mom. She has so much patience and optimism for me and my brothers. She's my best friend (other than Cumorah of course! Shout to you!).

In my church, we are taught the importance of families and love. I know that I am continually being prepared to be a great parent. The endless hours of babysitting, cooking, entertaining my brothers and working with others have helped me to develop the attributes needed to be a wonderful mother.

I am so excited to one day marry the man of my dreams (wherever he may be right now... hopefully the guy isn't stuck in a tree or something) and start a family!

I cannot wait to tell my kiddies all about their amazing grandparents and great-grandparents. I know I won't be doing this for many years to come but I cannot wait for the day where I get to start my fairy tale and follow my parent's example.

What's your dream job?

Never be afraid to follow your dreams because I you dream and work hard enough, they might just come true!

Best wishes,

Day 5 - my favourite movies that I never get sick of watching

I bet you can guess what i'm going to say....
Disney?
You got it right!!

I think my Disney obsession is turning into more of a Disney addiction!

All those movies have so many good messages, plus after watching them I always feel like a little kid again!

My top ten all-time-favourite-never-going-to-get-sick-of-Disney-movies are as follows:

-Toy Story

-Finding Nemo

-The emporer's new groove

-Up

-The little mermaid

-Monsters Inc.

-Lilo and Stitch

-Tangled

-The princess diaries

And......

-Frozen (obviously!)

I know so many quotes from every single one of those movies!

My future kiddies better learnt to love their momma's love for disney because they are going to grow up watching these movies (and all the others) and going to every Disneyland as well as Disney cruises with their mommy and daddy so mommy can cross it off her bucketlist!

There are so many other movies that I love so much! But i'm sure you'll find out about them soon enough!

Best wishes and love for Disney,

My love ( well more of an obsession) for Disney

As I have mentioned in many previous posts, I love Disney!

I've been lucky enough to have amazing parents who have raised me watching Disney movies and embracing all things that have to do with Disney.

And I've already found out that BYu has a Disney history club (and oh yes, I've already joined the facebook group!). So I'm super excited to meet fellow disney fanatics!

I've also been lucky enough to visit multiple Disneylands on multiple occasions. I still have my little pink Mickey Mouse hat with my name sewn in.
(Visiting every Disneyland is on my bucketlist and if my future hubby ever reads this I hope he takes note of that...and yes the perfect place to get engaged would be in front of Rapunzel's castle....with the the Disney crew singing our song as he kneels and asks me {saying my full name of course!}....but I can only dream).

But why do I love Disney so much some people may ask?
Because it's the happiest thing on earth!
Walt Disney wanted to create entertainment that the whole family could enjoy together and now almost 80 years later, families continue to do so.
Disney movies remind me of my childhood and since nostalgia is a HUGE problem in my life (mainly because I spent in living in paradise: the weather was always perfect in AZ and I do not ever remember having to wear a coat!).
I remember the nights I spent laying on my blankie on the living room floor, watching classic disney movies such as the Lion King and the Little Mermaid with my older brother whilst the ceiling fan span in a soothing rhythm. I always felt safest and happiest watching Disney movies, cartoons and shows. I was deprived from the Disney Channel so I was always pretty jealous of my 'rich' friends who got to watch it whenever they wanted (and yes in my eyes you were only rich if you had cable, inclusing the precious Disney Channel). So any of you out there who had that gift growing up, I hope you apprecitated it! :)

Today so many kids watch so much junk and even some of the newer Disney tv shows are pretty unique. Yet every time I watch a Disney movie I learn something new. Whether it's that love is the most important thing ever (especially the love siblings have for each other) or that positivity can help solve the hardest of problems, Disney movies teach great values.
My future kiddies are going to know every Disney movie off by heart and get so excited whenever we take them to Disneyland. Plus they'll have the cutest Disney Halloween costumes ever!

Anyways I hope you all love and appreciate the magic of Walt Disney. He was a wonderful man and I hope that one day I have the priveledge of meeting him!

Now to end with random pictures that show my disney obsession...

(One is me on my world book day costume..yes Princess Leia is a Disney princess since Lucas Films is owned by Disney and as for the rest of the random paper cutouts I found in my chapel's closet on a Tuesday night.. Aren't they awesome?)

Lots of love and Disney magic,
Reilly Michele
