DISNEY'S CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE | PHOTO DIARY




I have been away from the blog for so long, but I am back with some exiting pictures! Recently I went to Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim with two of my friends Ivonne and Layla. Layla rang me up one day and said something along the lines of, "Hey, so I didn't get you anything for your birthday or Christmas, so how about we go to California Adventure since the Aladdin show is closing and I'll pay for your food and half of your ticket?" Of course I said yes! Since I am moving to Tennessee in June, I have made a bucket list of everything I want to do before I leave, and going to California Adventure and spending as much time with Layla as I can are two of them. Scratch em' off the list! 

Of course, we didn't end up getting to see the Aladdin show (I mean, people were camping out the night before to see it), but we didn't let that keep us from having a blast! We spent the day jamming out to electronic music, riding rides, looking through shops, meeting Anna, Elsa, and other characters, eating delicious food (can't go wrong with a Mickey pretzel), dancing at the Mad T Party, going to a Frozen Sing-a-Long, and basically being a kid and reliving my childhood. I have been to Disneyland more recently, but I haven't been to California Adventure since before I was a teenager. So many rides that I remember are gone but have been replaced with new ones that are just as fun! I uploaded a vlog on my YouTube channel of our trip you can also see.

WINTERBREAK IN TENNESSEE | PHOTO DIARY

My sister Brianna and I recently took a trip to Maryville, Tennessee to visit our sister, mother, and some of our other family out in East Tennessee. We were gone from December 19-31, and it felt as if it went by so fast! I had my mom get me some groceries one day while she was out and I never ended up eating any of it because I thought we had a whole week left when it was only a few days! I have no idea where any of the time went, but I do know that it was a blast jamming out to One Direction, singing the guacamole song, going shopping in Turkey Creek, playing Skip-Bo, laughing til we cried and couldn't breath, trying new vegan foods, going to the movies to see Krampus, having our annual Harry Potter movie marathon, having late night chips and salsa and dark chocolate binges, spending my first Christmas in Tennessee since I was about five years old, spending time with family I don't normally see, meeting my baby niece, among so many more fun things I got to with my family. My only complaint was that my luggage got "lost" on the way back to California, so I spent my new years worrying about all my stuff, only to find out that it didn't even arrive in LAX until the next day, so hopefully my belongings will be returned to me soon! I also wished it snowed. It was surprisingly hot in Tennessee! On another note, it feels crazy to think I will be moving to Maryville next summer! I haven't lived in Tennessee since I was little and it will be a nice start for me living somewhere new and hopefully it'll be easier for me to find a job out there. Also, I filmed videos, not everyday, but a few days that we were in Tennessee that you can watch on my YouTube channel!
