Last weekend in 2012

Normally my weekends before J consisted of laying around my house sleeping as much as possible. Now the weekends are filled with so much I can hardly catch a break but I'm loving it!

How gorgeous was this sunset? This picture doesn't even do it justice.

I finally get home from eating "lunch" with J and my phone goes off! Seriously? What is wrong with my sister!!! She hijacked my moms phone and wanted to go look at Christmas lights and eat ice cream. Let me also remind you it was freezing cold here in N.FL. like in the 50's.

Safety first duh! Except yes I text and take pictures on the back of the bike.

I like to say we're bad to the bone... or not?

You tell me.

Jamie & I ended up at Hurricane Grille because we were too cold for ice cream.

SN: I didn't eat this by myself! I swear.

This is what we like to call a little family bonding.

I'm blessed to have such a tight knit family.

J & I are off to finish 2012 with a bang. Or withroller coasters

Orlando & Tampa here we come!

 

Ladies Night Out

It all started with this text! I just knew a family meeting was being called for something I did but wasn't sure why. Luckily this time it was to clean out the playroom at my parents house. I found this sweet picture of me from when I was probably 4 or 5 & Jamie found her signed Bryan White t-shirt from 15+ years ago. Yes I tweeted this to Bryan White and he "favorited" my tweet!

Then we ended up at Carrabbas for a late dinner. I think Jamie secretly wants a blog. This picture was all her idea. "Lets go sit with mom to take a picture for your B Log! Yep this happened.

& I have to completely agree with this! We fought so much when we were younger. Apparently I was "adopted" but looked just like her growing up. We shared a room until I was about 14 and we ALWAYS drew imaginary lines in the room so we had our own space. & please don't think about crossing over the line! Being 15 months apart has been a blessing. She may be the favorite daughter but at least mom still watches me until I get safely inside. You on the other hand... just use the front door.

We're the two best friends that any one could have!

Yay! Its Friday and I have off until Wednesday! Well except for the 5 hours I work on Saturday.

 

New Years Eve

Can you believe its almost already a new year? Where did 2012 go? Time flies when you're having fun. Lately I've been thinking about what to wear for NYE. I'm not one to get all dressed up and go partying. I did all that in high school {sorry mom & dad} but at least its out of my system to get crazy. I would love to dress up with one of these dresses but heck who am I kidding?

I'll probably end up wearing a flowly shirt and my yoga pants. Who cares right? They're comfortable. No shame here.

What do you have planned for NYE?

Weekend Happenings from Orlando to Jax.

 

 

 

This was by far the best weekend ever! Actually every weekend has been amazing the last few months but this one tops it! My sister got us floor seats to see Carrie Underwood in Orlando for my birthday this year. She surprised me months ago with this text. Read about it here!

 

We were just a bit excited to see how close we were to the stage.

I surprise Haley & Ryne by staying the night with them after the concert. Haley said she woke up and was laying on my back! Excuse the muffin mouth from Ryne. He's a wild boy.

These two have my heart!

We stopped by Bass Pro Shop to waste time before Haley was made into a Princess at the Bippidi Boppodi Boutique in downtown Disney. So they wrote Santa a Christmas List and put it in the mail.

We shot a few deer, bears & birds oh my!

 

Then we visited the boutique and Lego Land. I've never been to downtown Disney so this was a fun experience.

Next was the Jags game where we ate too many ribs, mac & cheese, baked beans, etc. Hello diet! Just kidding I'll start you now that my vaca has ended.

 

I met up with this handsome man! I loved that we sit one section apart!

 

 

Then it was Christmas Eve! Yes my mirror is cracked due to two crazy dogs but look how tall I look!

I swear my brother Josh & my boyfriend Josh wrap the same way! I love it! This made me laugh! Maybe its a guy thing.

We started playing the White Elephant gift a few Christmases ago. I picked the best gift! a 9 pack a toilet paper and beef jerky. You really can't go wrong there. Josh on the other hand gets to learn how to grow a beard every which way that is possible with this gentleman shower curtain! Ryne boy was just being as cute as possible with his new bike helmet!

Haley and I tracked Santa before it was time for her to go home. The next morning Ryne walked into the living room to see what Santa left and said "oh my goodness who did this". I love this age with both H & R!

This handsome man gave me Forever Red perfume & apple TV to stream my iPhone & iPad to my living room tv!

 

He has made me the happiest girl ever! Yes I'm still as crazy for him as I was from day 1.

Christmas Wish List

With it being 4 days before Christmas what better time than now to write out of Christmas list.

See the problem is I really don't know what I want. It kinda stinks that my birthday is in December because I usually get everything I want for Christmas for my birthday. And I'm really not that kind of person who is greedy and ask for more. But since so many have asked what I wanted for Christmas here's my list.

 

 

Uh duh! Michael Kors anything. Except NOT! I'm not a name brand whore. Sorry if I offended any of you but I'm just not into spending that kind of money on designer items. Besides watches don't even look good on my wrist.

 

 

What would be completely practically is anything from KiKiLaRue!

Bath & Body Works Forever Red!

& gift cards!

 

 

But really all I want is to spend time with my friends & family! Extra time with J though!

 

So I hope I helped some of you out a little bit. I love giving not receiving!

 

If you really. really find it in your heart pockets I could use some extra cash to pay off some bills.

 

Or a tropical vacation? Vegas & NY are already happening in 2013!

 

Happy Friday!

 

& screw you Mayans for freaking everyone out!

Silly Mayans

This is all I have to say about this!

 

 

They didn't even take into consideration leap year!

 

Besides how often has "the world ended" before?

 

Exactly!

 

Only God knows the exact day, time, minute, second the world will end.

 

& I hope it's near since this is such a scary world we live in.

Weekend Happenings

The weekend started off with a fun shopping trip. Have you heard about the JCP buttons? Well you can get these adorable buttons are the register and enter to win prizes. So far I've won around $100! Not bad right. Exactly! I was able to get the cutest black wedges for $10 which were originally $50.

Also see my adorbs leopard lace top? I recently purchased it from KiKiLaRue.

Then I met up with these amazing ladies in my life! We planned a Christmas lunch/pedis that ended up being changed because J had a surprise Sunday planned for us. So we opted for breakfast at a local diner. The ladies are the best girl friends I could ever as for.

Then it was on to St. Augustine to enjoy our little date.

I've been wanting to go to the San Sebastián Winery for the longest time. They offer free tours and tastings. Hello! I was in Heaven!

We ate at Harry's Seafood on our own private balcony. Well... with 2 other couples over looking A1A. Yes it's the middle of December and I'm wearing short sleeves with sandals. Be jealous or not but I'm jealous of all you with an actualy winter with snow!

St. Augustine has the square decorated for Christmas which we took the Holly Jolly Trolly around to see the lights.

We were given these awesome glasses that made all the lights turn into snowflakes and sang Christmas carols while driving around.

Of course we ended our date with DQ.

I have the most perfect man in my life and I couldn't be more thankful for him. Here's to many more dates with J!

 

Happy 6th birthday Haley Rose!

6 years ago today the first little girl to have ever stolen my heart was born.

She made me an aunt!

Enna to be exact.

She has brought so much joy into my life and those she comes in contact with.

She's beautiful, energetic, spunky, tender hearted & sassy

I can't believe you're already 6. Time has flown by.

I love you Haley Rose!

Happy birthday sweet baby girl!
