WIshing starts with the heart.

I made a lot of wishes when I decided to come to Disney. I wished for a good job, a community, a community of Christians, happiness, and love. I never wished for wealth or for sad miserable days.
I am happy to report that I have not gotten the things I did not wish for.

I am even happier to report that I have gotten a lot of wishes. Which is why I always cry whenever I watch the Wishes Fireworks Display at the Magic Kingdom. It means a little more to me than most people. I have a wonderful job in the Magic Kingdom. I get to meet people from around the world and spread Pixie Dust and make dreams come true. I have recently been invited to help with some special projects! Which is good for me because I want to get into management and such down here.
I have been meeting and working my way into a community of Christians through the Campus Crusade WDW team. Special thanks to Kevin and friends for helping me find a good church that works with my work schedule.
I am making new friends and forming my own community.
I am happy beyond my wildest dreams, with the exception of being super far away from my family and some of my most important friends.
And finally, I am able to say that I have found a relationship with someone who could easily be my best friend. How David and I went 11 years living side by side to each other and never meeting is somewhat amazing. We are from the same hometown, he went to High School with my cousin, and lived 5 min down the road. Yet, we never met until Oct 2009 and through a friend of my Dad's. Shocking, I know. David is a creative, like me. He has the most amazing job as a cook and LOVES food and being creative. He loves the outdoors and just relaxing. We have done so many things together like cook dinner, rock climbing, hiking, and sharing in the lives of each other. I don't want to jinx anything. David is more than I could ever ask for and for the first time he sees me for exactly who I am. It is a brand new concept to me. We hit it off right away and I never had to be anything but myself. David sought me out, asking me to dinner and a movie, something no other guy has ever done for me. If something is wrong he can sense it even in a text message. He finds a way to make it better. We both agree that this is weird, how it all happened. But I think there is a reason for this and even if our relationship doesn't make it to a bigger stage we know that we have found an amazing friend in each other.

I had to share this with you because I had to share it with someone. David knows because I am extremely scared at how natural life feels with him. It is possible that you could spend your whole life a few miles from a person and never connect with them until you are both thousands of miles away from home? Is it possible that this connection could be something more valuable than a simple friendship? The Lord works in mysterious ways. In all honesty, I know that God's hand is on this and I'm not even sure how I know. It's like I can feel it or something.

So here's to a Happily Ever After.... or at least a Once Upon A Dream.
