A Year Spent at the Happiest Place on Earth
Ever since I met Andy I have had a Disneyland pass. And for one week in January I was pass-less! Last Friday I renewed my annual pass, giving me my chance at a seventh year at Disneyland. And it hasn’t got old. Each trip is another exciting adventure. This year was definitely different as Andy started his BBQ business up he had much much less time to spend with me at the park, but thankfully my friend Rachel bought a pass and kept me company all year at Disneyland! I went 16 times over the course of the year and I wanted to share a photo with you from each trip! Here’s to another great year with the Mouse!

Sam,
First off I have to say that you did a wonderful job putting this together, it was so adorable && it was great to reflect on an Disneyland FunFilled year!!!
I’m so thankful that my first Disneyland experience was with you (because Disneyland without Sam just isn’t the same) && that I got a pass ! I’m grateful for every time that you pick me up, take me, invite me, etc because without you I wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy&&experience the joys of having a pass. I have so much fun every time we go; I meet someone new ( and all your friends are so sweet and I’m so pleased that God has graced your life with such beautiful people), I learn something new, and I grow in my friendship with you. Sam, I consider you to be one of the closest, most important people in my life, your such a gracious woman with a big heart and I aspire to have a heart like yours for God. Thank you so much for everything, it might have been just a Disneyland pass but all the pictures,memories,friendship and laughter will forever last, you don’t even realize how much you have impacted my life. Thank you just doesn’t even seem to be enough, but thank you(:
i love you.
