:D ^.^

So I was having a tough week last week, but then something AMAZING happened! One of my favorite people in the world came and visited me! His name is Elliot, he was my FHE brother my first semester up at BYU-Idaho. I saw him while I was still on the clock and ran over and hugged him. The first words that came out of his mouth were, "Jules! You're black!" And for those of you unfamiliar with Idaho coloring please google the color "bright white" and then compare it to my skin as of now. Compared to white, my skin is pretty darn dark. :)
Any who. So the very next day was spent at the parks. We went to Hollywood Studios first. We did the back lot water special effects show and then we did the back lot tour! We got to see some Star Wars vehicles as well!!! :O
Then we headed over to Star Tours, we were able to ride it not once, but TWICE! :D It was pretty awesome! Then we did all the other things that we could do in Hollywood Studios, like getting a yoda backpack for training purposes, borrowing Bo Bo Fett's helmet, you know, small stuff like that :P
Then we headed to Epcot and visited all 11 countries!!!! AMAZING! We also spent some time in Japan, fun place. Then we went to see Captain EO and from there we caught the tail end of the fireworks. Then we hopped on the monorail and got there just in time for Wishes at Magic Kingdom! It was a great day!
Over the next few days I would get Elliot into the parks and we would go on a ride or two and then I would head for work while he explored. I told him to do the Dole Pineapple float, and let's just say that the server and Elliot got to know each other pretty well. ;) And then one night I got off early and we went to Magic Kingdom where Elliot got his first Disney Turkey Leg. Yum!
On his last night here we were able to get me an Early Release and so I went with him to Downtown Disney and we saw the AWESOME Legos!!! And then we took a cab to my apartment and he briefly met my roommates, (He and Elisheva spent the day with Eunice in Animal Kingdom!) and Michael was kind enough to let me borrow his car to take Elliot to the man house, (I still owe those guys lasagna! Just waiting to get a red onion!) and after watching the Little Mermaid and Behind Enemy Lines I said goodbye to the most awesomest person in the world, Elliot.
All I can say is, Thank you! Everyone, THANK YOU!!!
