once upon a time...

...a twenty-two year old, a twenty-one year old, a twenty year old, and a nineteen year old all piled in the card and made the five-minute drive to the Bi-Lo Center. For what, you ask? Why, to see Disney on Ice: Princess Wishes, of course! It was a maaaaagical night filled with all my favorite things: great company, great entertainment [at an even greater price, might I add], little girls dressed up as their favorite princesses, and Beauty and the Beast [among other less important couples].

Five words sum up my evening perfectly: Disney makes my heart happy.

Melly was hungry. surprised? nope, me neither.

 waiting for the show to get started.

 I forgot...

 ...and then she rebelled.

Minnie and Mickey. YAY!

 meet TJ, my boyfriend for the evening. I guess all boys with that name know the way to my heart.

 I mean, seriously. look at how ADORABLE this little guy is!

 time for the best part of the show!

ahhhhhhhhh, LOVE.

 Miss Shemika and sweet little TJ.

Shemika is my co-teacher at work and I was SO excited she came with us to the show!

 Cinderella, you steal Belle's spotlight WAY too much, but I just can't help but love ya.

 graaaaaand finale! all these princesses [and their handsome princes] made me smile SO big!

 I loooooooove these girls. I wouldn't trade 'em for anything in the whole world.

 "Miss Shemika-mika" and "Mi-Anna" :) I'm so thankful for her!

the other half of our princess groupies.

And those were the highlights of our fairytale-esque night. Once again, I am a happy, happy, happy girl.
