Remembering Tia Jollette

My sweet Aunt Jollette passed on January 23rd. I am so glad I was able to fly to Utah on February 3rd for her memorial and funeral. It was amazing to have our entire family together - but sad to know she was gone. She fought a hard battle with cancer since January 2020. It was hard to see this terrible disease take her. Tia Jollette was fierce, determined, and independent.

But she was also loving, fun, caring, and selfless. She cared and took action when she did not have to - but she always followed what God had for her. 

She was my first example of a professional woman - educated, rocking at her job, and not waiting for others to provide for her. She pushed education, she pushed doing more with your life. She opened her home - to our loud, noisy and sometimes dramatic family. She took my Abuelita in.
They became best friends. She was devoted to her kids and was there
for them - especially in the really tough times they had. 

Without her, my life would be totally different. I feel a deep deep reverence for her.
I love you Tia. I can't wait to see you again! 

 

Disney Pt.4

 January 29th was our final park day. We hit Hollywood Studios. We were very early in the parking lot and had a great spot right next to the entry. 

We got both Gaylan and Debbie a scooter this time. 

We did get a great spot at Rope Drop but this wait felt really long. We also noticed that all the workers were MUCH older and seemed annoyed. So that is interesting. 

We made it and were able to watch a lot of shows here. We watched Indiana Jones, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen, Fantasmic and Cars. They were all really great and it felt like we rested alot more since we watched so many shows. We had a lot of energy. 

We absolutely loved the Star Wars Section. The Rise of the Resistance was incredible. The ride was fun and totally immersive. The girls were called "Tiny Spies" which was SO fun. 

We stayed until 830 PM. We had yummy tacos for dinner. Then we walked back and rested and were beyond grateful that we actually made it. 

The girls overall did amazing. I mean, we wanted over a Marathon in 3 days! The girls were amazing, loved it and just really felt the magic. So did I. 

I am so thankful we did it. Debbie and Gaylan were amazing companions. They knew so much about Florida, they were easygoing. They were awesome.
