Tis the Season to be JOLLY!


Merry Christmas everybody! It's been about a month since my last blog, and loads has happened. Mostly having to do with "The Curse of the Black Pearl" which is the name that has been given to my amazing bad luck, which as far as we can tell mostly started with the purchase of the Beetle I turned into the Pearl. For example, In early november I was robbed for the fourth and fifth times in a year.
Luckily I got a short and very welcome break! And it seems as though the Disney Magic is strong enough to counter my cursedness. We went on a Family Vacation to Orlando. IT WAS AWESOME! I'm just a big kid, so I loved everysingle minute of it! Disney Parks are about as close to my Idea of heaven as I think exist on earth. (Especially after 8pm!) and the weather was PERFECT! ok, well for me i could have handled it a touch warmer, but it was warm enough for me and not too hot for anyone else, so PERFECT! I went on Splash mountain twice, Small World twice, The Haunted Mantion twice, Pirates...five times, and every other ride I wanted at least once (except Mr. Toads Wild ride, which has been replaced by the Winnie the Pooh Ride, which thankfully is just as good if not better than Mr. Toad). I even loved the Parades and Shows this time! I just sat and fantasized about working for Disney the whole time. I had a life Changing experience at MGM Studios where I saw an amazing Biopic of Walt Disney which has led me to a pretty sure decision about my future. So, if anyone has any info on good film/animation Schools, I would be happy to hear it! Anyways, I would like to take this moment to thank my whole family for an AMAZING family vacation. Thanks Dad & Mom for taking us! I can never repay you! and thanks to Jenni (and anyone else) for planning it!
Sadly the Magic cannot last forever. The Day after I got home Jyllian and I went to pick up the car I found for her at the Auction. We were both really excited at how nice it was. Then within 10 miles the Transmition started acting up, or not acting at all. We left it in Salt lake and headed back to provo. I spent the next few days trying to figure out how to solve the problem, eventually deciding i would take it back to the auction, sell it, and take the hit. The hit came in a much more unexpected way, at about 80 mph. As we were taking it back to the auction, Me driving the Saturn (the broken car) and Jyllian driving my Kia Behind me, suddenly i heard a crunch and looked into my mirror just in time to see the Kia flying straight at me. As soon as I got stopped I ran to the Kia to get Jyllian, who (as much as she denies it) was pretty in shock, though pretty calm for being so. She was taken to the Hospital by ambulance with Leg, Neck, and head Injuries, all of which apear to be minor as of yet. I had minor neck and back injuries as well. She had been rearended by a third driver who apperantly didn't see our hazard lights. He is allright as well thankfully. The Kia is unquestionably totalled as there is basically nothing left behind the driver's seat. The Saturn is fixable, but not worth it, and the third car is also totalled. Luckily we're pretty sure the fault is his, because his car was worth about twice what jyllian's and mine car are worth combined! Strangly the thing I am saddest about is that The Lilo and Stitch statue/picture frame I bought Jyllian in Disneyworld didn't make it. I'll Put more pictures of the car's and stuff on here soon.




One final quick note. Christmas is coming and I need to know what ya'll want, cause if I don't I'll shop my way, which is to find things I think you MIGHT like, which tends to end with movies staying wrapped for YEARS! Here are my two Amazon lists. Don't forget to change the sorting order to "By Priority"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2THHJ95WE5049/ This one is most up to date
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/225EDL4J6ITYP/ This one has slightly more variaty.

Merry Christmas! You really do have some luck. How's all that working out? I got you something that's not on your list. I hope you like it! If not, I won't be the slightest bit offended if you decide to return it. You could probably get a replacement frame from Disney.com or the Disney store in Salt Lake (is it still there?) if you wanted to. Say hey to your girl, and we'll see you soon!
