A season to celebrate!


A little background: during the last weekend of April I drove to Fresno to take my licencing exam. I was very nervous. I walked away from the exam knowing I did my best....then I drove home to wait for the results. The result I thought would come out on Wednesday, I went online first thing Wednesday morning to view my results....it turned out however the results didn't come out til Thursday so I had one more day to wait. That same day my sister Brianna was headed down to southern California for the wedding of one of her besties from BYU, Alisson. At the last minute I decided to go along and visit my good friend Hillary. Hillary and I had a nice visit that evening and went to bed around midnight. The next morning I woke up at 6:47am!!! I was ready to check my results. I woke up Hillary and signed in to check my results....and I saw in big bold letters PASSED!!! I could hardly believe it! I called my mom and she couldn't understand when I told her the news through my raspy tear-filled voice. :)

After we got ready we were off to spend the day celebrating at DISNEYLAND! :)


It was a beautiful day and there was hardly anybody in the park. This is what the line looked like for space mountain.


I got Mickey mouse ears with my title and the day to help me remember the day. Here we are on my favorite ride, toy story mania. We also met up with Brianna and her friends for lunch and visiting.


Here we are again with our "I'm celebrating pins.:)


Mickey ears shadow!


Traditional hat pic: this time teenie-bopper.


The next day we slept in, went to lunch, shopped, and relaxed. Another great day!


On Saturday we met up with my brother Matthew and I hitched a ride back home with these guys so I would be home for Mothers day. :)


Yet another Griffith Disney fan in the making :) This is my nephew Bed, he's already working on his attitude face for hat pics in his future.
