Can't wait to be king

We had been planning to see the Lion King since we saw the posters while seeing a movie about a month ago. As the time grew closer, we started a countdown. At least the new chalkboard is getting good use! (Chris looked at me like a crazy person when I hung it. He thought I just painted the center black for no reason!)

Yay for the Lion King, and bad movie theater photos! The best part? Everyone in the theater was in their 20s, and had seen it as kids in the theater.

It was so much fun laughing at things that flew over our heads so many years ago. Now I feel OLD!!

A dream is a wish

My brother Casey (unexpectedly) came to stay with me for a week and a half. Eeek for unannounced guests! Luckily it was just him, so I didn't worry too much about not being prepared. We got a lot in while he was here, despite me working almost every day. We even made it to Disneyland! Here's a peek into our sibling adventures in the happiest place on Earth.

Sidenote: Now they'll definitely never let me in Club 33... I never had a shot anyway. People had no clue what we were doing/looking at!

There's nothing like acting like you're little kids again, just for a day. Even if it is 107 degrees (you can totally see how sweaty we are with Mickey, gross! ). 

Comicon 2011

While working in the hotel industry can be very challenging, it definitely has it's perks. Last week, Chris and I got free passes for Comicon. Neither of us had ever been and it originated here in San Diego, so this was a cool opportunity for us. 

2 whole days at Comicon? A little too much for me to handle, but I was able to loan these out so they got a fair amount of use.

We got plenty of cheesy photos.

Saw tons of cartoon characters (Pikachu was the only one I recognized right away)

And of course, we saw one crazy costume after another. Fun to see, but I could never be that dedicated.

The free swag with the comic books I bought for my brother. Not pictured: at least 10 action movie posters. I plan on mailing him all this fun stuff one piece at a time leading up to his birthday. Luckily, he doesn't read this blog, so he'll have no clue what's going on.
