Florida was hot and muggy.

My hair stuck to my neck and and sweat droplets formed as soon as I stepped outside, making me squirm uncomfortably. How did people live like this? I could barely handle the Cali sun and that wasn't even too bad. I especially felt the heat because I hadn't even adapted from Seattle before we moved on with the tour, so I was used to cool temperatures and accompanying breezes, nothing ever this humid or muggy.

Evelyn was always irritated whenever we were out of the air conditioning and we didn't get to enjoy ourselves much unless we were at the pool or inside, which was no fun when you could see how beautiful it was outside. We did take full advantage of the resort style pool that we had access to while in Orlando, but you can only swim for so long during the day, especially around nap time with a cranky baby.

Today was the day that we were taking Evelyn to Disney World, so we were just praying that the clouds would stay over head the rest of the day. Not only was it our Disney day, but it was also her actual first birthday and it made me so happy, but sad at the same time. I had cared for her for an entire year. I've prayed for her since I knew she existed and it was so fulfilling to see her physically grow older, yet it made my heart ache as I watched her develop from a baby to a toddler over time.

"She's getting so big." Jasper whispered as we sat on the bed next to her small crib. Evelyn was still asleep, but we wanted to be there right when she woke up. It was around seven in the morning. Jasper had an early meeting so I woke up when I heard him rustling around the kitchen before the sun even rose. I had been awake since then, making sure that everything was ready for our big day. I had to make sure that we had a full diaper bag filled to the brim with diapers, changes of clothes, wipes, water, money and small snacks to keep her happy between meals.

"I know, she makes me so proud." I replied quietly, sitting on the bed with Jasper right next to me. I slowly leaned my head against his shoulder and sighed in content, watching as her small, pajama clad chest rose and fell as she snoozed.

"Maybe today will be the day that she decides to sleep in." Jasper remarked with a quick laugh, quieting himself quickly once he realized that he needed to stay hushed.

"I hope not. We still have to drive there and go through security." I frowned as I thought of everything we needed to do before we even got into the park.

"We don't really have to worry about that ya know?" He asked, turning slightly to look at me before standing. He walked over to the bathroom that was right outside the bedroom, grabbing a brush. "I talked to Ben and he got us a car that can take us into a side entrance. They have special things set up for celebs like me."
