A Dream Come True

So a few days ago it was Halloween, and I decided to dress up as Cinderella :) ever since I was a little girl, Cinderella has always been my favorite princess, and I fell in love with the idea of getting to be a princess. It almost became a part of me, in a way. To this day I still consider myself a bit of a princess on the inside :) Anyway, that's beside the point. So I got a gigantic, poofy, beautiful Cinderella dress to wear, and it was absolutely gorgeous :)

Behold! I am "Crinderella"

Walking around campus, I felt a little weird at first because I was in this gigantic dress that took up the width of a hallway. But I quickly got over that because I was just so overjoyed that I could become my favorite princess for a day :) I got so many compliments on it and it was just absolutely fantastic :)

But the best part happened later that day. My best friend and I decided to go wander around the mall, and I am so glad we did. We saw so many adorable little kids there, and almost every time one saw me, their little face would light up and they'd gasp and say "Mom, it's Cinderella!" :) I had so many little girls run up and give me a hug or get a picture with me. And that, my friends, was magical :) Seeing how happy those kids were made me feel amazing inside and I couldn't stop grinning the rest of the day! :) In fact I had other people at the mall who saw my little encounters tell me how great it was that I was okay with stopping for pictures and hugs so much.

So the lesson is guys, dreams come true :) They really do. It's great to have your own dreams come true, but it is nothing compared to seeing how happy others are when you help their dreams come true :) I will never, ever forget those adorable kids, even though they'll probably forget that they saw Cinderella once at the mall. But that's okay :)

Anyway, I'm now seriously looking into getting hired as Cinderella at Disneyland for a summer so I can see that same magic happen with different little kids every day :) so wish me luck guys! I'm gonna need it.
