Yesterday, I went to Disneyland! And today, I am battling Disneyland hangover. Man, going to an amusement park really takes it out of you. A friend from church used to work at Disney World, and he gets into Disneyland free anytime and can bring up to 6 guests for free. Talk about an excellent perk! A bunch of other people had season passes, and so that's how I spent the day with a group of 13 people- 8 adults and 5 kids. We all had a blast, and I even enjoyed hanging out with the kiddos (believe it or not)! Richard couldn't afford to spend an entire day away from the books, so he opted to stay at home. That was really the only downer of the day.

Yesterday was the start of the Christmas season at Disneyland, so there were decorations everywhere and some of the rides were different. "It's a Small World" was transformed into "Joy to the Small World," and the "Haunted Mansion" was decorated like Nightmare Before Christmas. Also, the regular nightly parade was a Christmas theme, finishing with the impressive feat of snow on the parade route. Real snow- blowing out of snowmakers mounted to the top of buildings!

All in all, with the exception of Rich's absence, yesterday was a treat!

Tomorrow, I'll post some pictures of our living room and dining room of the new apt. Get excited.
