Last year in Florida, I had basically the whole state of Utah come out to watch our games. This year, because we decided to do Disneyland in January, they weren't able to come out and watch. I thought it would be a really sad time for me. Most people have some family come out and get to spend time with them for those eight or so days, and it can be hard for people who don't have their family there.
I was surprised, though, that it wasn't a really hard time for me. Of course I really missed my family; I talked to them every day I was gone, and wished they could have been there. But I have to say, I know exactly why I was still able to have such an amazing time even though I was missing my family.
The first reason is the team. The entire time I've been at Mac, these girls have been my second family. I never thought I'd have the chance to get this close to anyone while I was here, but I am so grateful that I have. It's pretty amazing to have twelve great friends on and off the field. 
The second reason is Erin. I spent nearly the entire time in Florida with her, her dad and uncle. I got to go with them to all the parts of Disneyworld and we had the greatest adventures together:) I am so grateful to have her in my life!
We searched everywhere for Lion King stuff, but this was pretty much the only thing we could find. These were all over the park, crafted into different characters. They were pretty amazing! 
One of the most amazing parts of Disney is the chance it gives you to still be a kid. Erin and I got to eat dinner at the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, where we met all the Disney Princesses. It was so amazing! I felt like such a kid the whole time we spent at Disneyworld. It helped me remember that it's okay to not hurry into adulthood, even though that's what the world tends to tell us as soon as we hit high school. For the rest of my life, I know I'll be a little girl at heart.:)
