Hi all! How is your week going? We're down to
3 days left!!
Today I got a email to do online check-in at CBR, which I gladly did!! I requested ground floor and am crossing my fingers for a great building! Particularly Jamaica, Aruba or Martinique!
Last night, we got a call from Stu, he's been studying for his Commercial Drivers license and took his road test yesterday, passed it with flying colors! He's really excited because he'd been so nervous studying for it and now he feels like he can relax! So glad for him!
This time next week, we should have just finished up eating at Ohana's for dinner and watching Wishes (hopefully on the beach at the Poly!) and headed back to CBR for maybe a drink by the pool. Have to see how tired we are!
This week has been insane! I was trained the past few weeks to work on Acute studies (48-96 hours vs 14 to 21 days for chronics). Monday I got my very first rangefinder (basically the test before the real test), and I thought I'd get 1 for the week, but I ended up getting 5! And to top it off, there's only 3 of us on the Acute team. 1 is me, still new since I switched from culture, 1 is Rachael whos 8 1/2 months pregnant and a heck of a trooper and the other is Christian who is taking off tomorrow. He has 5 studies my himself, so Rach and I have like 9 studies to complete tomorrow, all in different varying stages of completion or just beginning. But we'll get through it!
Tonight was our work Christmas party. It was great, they had it catered, and we had cesear salad, rolls, roast beef with au jus, chicken marsala, crab dip, cheese plate, green beans, mashed potatoes, 3 kinds of desserts and a candy table with bags for us to help ourselves. Man I am stuffed! It was definitely close to Disney quality, although I refrained from taking a picture of my plate
I did however, snag a photo of the Christmas tree outside the lobby of our banquet hall, not quite Disney worthy in size, but pretty none-the-less
And on our way home, I've been wanting to get a picture of this house for the past 2 weeks. Some of these houses on the shore at literally mansions. There's this display that they decorate every holiday, that I'm trying to get a picture of, hopefully I'll have it for my next post. But this is another of my favorites. This house sits on the water, I had to stand on a pier in order to get a descent picture of it. But it's so beautiful, I love all the colors
Picture definitely does not do it justice, but it's the closest we've found to be up there anywhere close to the Osbourne Lights.
Well, I'm going to try and get one more update in, either tomorrow night or saturday morning. We have 1 work day to go. Then sleeping in, making breakfast on saturday, catching the Christmas Parade up the street around 10:30am, dropping Riley off at boarding and heading to my parents in Baltimore for our flight on sunday morning. Have a great friday everyone!!
