Orlando Fun

This past weekend I went to Orlando with my best friend, Leigh. She had to go to a Lads to Leaders competition and hand out some awards. She asked me if I would go with her and I decided to tag along and boy am I glad that I did! We left Thursday night after I got off work and headed to Atlanta. I know your wondering why we went through Atlanta to get to Orlando... but we had to get our hair done first! Nathan, Leigh's boyfriend, is from Georgia and his cousin cuts and colors mine and Leigh's hair! She is pretty much amazing! So Friday morning we got our hair done and then headed to FL. We finally got to Orlando Friday night around 11 and that's where our weekend officially began! Leigh's work is paying for our hotel, so she has a company credit card. Well something was wrong with it and it was declined. OMG! after it was finally worked out we went up to our room and went to bed. Really excited about the next day we got up and got ready. Set up the Faulkner table in the lobby and then took off for our "errands" which means Disney World! We had so much fun at Disney World!! We got free tickets and we spent all day there! We left about 5:30 so we could go back to the hotel and Leigh could get ready to hand out her scholarships. After she did that we went back to Disney World for the fireworks and the parade. I am so glad that we went back. I hadn't seen the fireworks at Disney World since 8th grade... and that was a long time ago! I had the best time watching the parade and watching kids get so excited! We were finally ready to leave the land of magic when we hopped on the monorail and got on the cart that takes you to your parking lot. When we got to goofy we couldn't find our car! Someone had literally stole our car while we were in Disney World. Who does that? and it also sucked because it was Leigh's work car! OMG what were we going to do. We flagged sown security and told her about our dilemma. Poor lady this was her first week and she said she hadn't even finished her first night. She was on her way out. :( so she called in another guy and he asked us when we had came into the park and when we told him 9pm he told us that they were picking up from grumpy. OH SNAP! we thought it was goofy but it was actually grumpy. Needless to say when we went to grumpy we found our car. Nobody had stolen in we were just dumb!:) On Saturday we sat at the Faulkner table a good bit, and went to downtown Disney for lunch. We had to leave on Sunday which was sad! :( but we got up and left early that morning so I could try and be home to see my family before they all left. Leigh drove the whole time and I felt really bad, because I was either going to stay up with her as she drove or drove some so she could sleep. But I wasn't feeling good and so I went to sleep. She is such a good friend because I'm sure she was just as tired as I was. So now being Monday I am still so tired from this weekend. But I had a lot of fun and have some many memories from this trip! I just love Leigh Walker! She has been my ultimate best friend, and I couldn't have done this deployment without her!!
