Daytona

Hey everyone!! 

So I know it has been a hot min since I have posted a blog so here is a long over due update! not much has really changed in my life since my last post but I have done a few fun things since then! Last week I got the chance to go to Daytona and work NCA/NDA College Nationals. For this event I was doing totally different work then what I normally do when I am down in Orlando working UCA events. For this event I went strictly to work sponsorship, which means I went just to hand out Gatorade instead of band-aids! I had a really great time and got the chance to experience an event I have never worked before while enjoying some time with friends! 

Wednesday  was the day we all arrived and it was also set up day. Thursday was day one of competition and well when you work for Darby it is great to be a girl! The guys had to be up and at the venue at like 6:30 and well us girls got to sleep in and we did not have to be at the venue till 11am. I it was such a fantastic thing to be at a competition but not have to be at work till 11am!! We went in and worked for about 3+ hours, just long enough to give the guys a break to get away form the competition and get some lunch and relax! It was a really fun day! For lunch we went to this fun little hole in the wall that we just found (after driving like 10+ miles outside of Daytona) and the food was so yummy! The name of the place was Betty's Cafe so if you are ever in Daytona drive to Ormond by the Sea and enjoy! Betty loves Elvis so he is everywhere, even in the women's bathroom! haha but the food was amazing, fresh and homemade! So Friday was the real work day. We had to be at the venue by 8:30 ready to work. I gave out Gatorade all day. It was actually a lot of fun and I enjoyed working with Courtney and Josh! We just stood there and offered Gatorade to everyone as they came off the competition mat! Josh tried to make everyone pay in a dollar for it (even though it was free) and some even put it back because they thought he was serious! I was very good and made sure I wore sunscreen all day and put it on every 1-2 hours to prevent getting burned and guess what....it worked :) I even ended up with a slight tan line! 

All in all I had a great time in Daytona!! Thank you so much Darby and Marlene for letting me come and work for you guys! I would gladly work any event you wanted me to work in the future :) Now preparing myself for the last event of the year! Worlds is next weekend so it will be the last time I will be in Orlando this year so I have to make the best of my time with my of my favorite people!! Well thats all for now but dont forget to check back because I am sure i will have something else fun to tell you about soon!!
