It is Important to make sure that we maintain our friendships, you know the good ones, the ones where you uplift each other and you both kick each other in the ass to get it in gear. The ones that know your dreams and help to push you to achieve them, and those that know your lows and help you get back to being balanced again...
This was at the beginning of our day...
My Friend Tennille (she is more like a sister than a friend really) came down this last weekend to help me celebrate my 40th birthday. I know I can't believe how loved I am either.. Actually I can, what I can't believe is that I turned 40 this year. It seems like yesterday that T and I were going to Dances in the Singles ward, or working at HELL (thats what we called the place we worked at when we met and forged our friendship).
Anyways back to our girls weekend. Tennille came down on Thursday the 9th and then on the 10th I went over to her Grandpa's house where she was staying. When I picked her up she was getting a haircut from her aunt M. We then proceeded to the Happiest place on Earth, no not to a masseuse, but rather to DISNEYLAND resort.
No kids, no spouses just two Girls having fun and making more memories... to add to the years of memories that we have already made. The day was exhausting from all the fun we had, the laughter we shared and the love between two friends. It was a busy day between the holiday weekend and the Run Disney event, and all the fun... We ok not we I pooped out at about 10:30.
We got to the parking structure at about 845ish and then we ended up purchasing Tennille's ticket from the Disneyland app while in line for the Mickey and friends parking structure. Once we parked we went through security and that is when it became even more apparent it was going to be busy. We waited for two trams I think which isn't that bad it was a lot of people and they were running both sides for the trams...
We had a lunch reservations at Carthay circle. On our way over we ran into our friends Eighty5point5 AKA Rich and Jason. it was very serendipitous I really didn't know if we would see them at all as we all have busy schedules while in the parks and low and behold I look up near where the festival of holidays is being held and I see some familiar faces and I went up and said hi... It was such a pleasure meeting friends from the Tube of You and Twitter. To actually put a face to the names on the screen. It was a pleasure Gentlemen, my only regret is we didn't spend more time together... I didn't want to impose.
This was the first part of my Birthday Celebration... enjoy
So we both had reservations for Carthay circle at the same time they had the dining package for world of color and we were going to do it but decided that day not to. Tennille had looked at the summer menu when we decided to book it, only to realize that they have a seasonal menu... so the Autumn menu it was... we shared an Angus burger and some cheesy balls, they have bread and as a nice gesture I was gifted a dessert to celebrate my birthday.
We will talk about the sip and savor AP pass for $45 later, I have a whole video on it so if you want to check on it now you can go and check out the channel. I have the video embedded. it as so much fun. I love hanging out with Tennille, One of the only friends I have that I can be 100% silly around. Please check it out it was fun to eat around the holidays, come and be apart of our silliness...
At the end of the night we couldn't decide on Churros or Ice Cream and we chose ice cream cause you can get churros that taste just a good at Costco but Mickey shaped Ice Cream is a little more difficult and more magical on Disney Property. Thank you for reading and watching our videos. I appreciate the time that you give to doing those activities.
