It's about time...

...for my vacation that is!! 

Tomorrow morning, my family and boyfriend are leaving for our week-long cruise that stops in the Bahamas, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. We couldn't be more excited. And to make things even better, the day we get back to Florida, my boyfriend is moving into his house. There is so much to look forward to in the next few weeks and so much to be thankful for. 

I will certainly miss my bloggy friends but until Saturday, August 6th, I'm on a boat!

Okay this song has been in my head all week so I couldn't help myself ;)

Day 5 of 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge: Places I Hope to go to This Year

The family plus me and the boyfriend are in the process of planning on going on a Caribbean cruise this summer! I have been on two cruises in the past and they were both Carnival cruises so I am pretty sure we will stick with them again this year. I live in central Florida so Port Canaveral is the port we usually leave out of. It's only 45 minutes from where I live! I would love to go on one that goes to St. Maarten. I have never been there and have heard wonderful things about it.

It wouldn't be a Florida summer if I didn't plan on going to the beach! I love Cocoa Beach and New Smyrna Beach.



Since we couldn't go this past December, next December the boyfriend and I plan on going to Colorado to visit my aunt and her family. Rusty also has a friend that lives in Denver so we would visit him too. I can't wait to see snow this year!

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

P.S. Happy one year anniversary to Rusty and I :)

Day 23: Favorite Vacation

Trying to decide which vacation of mine is my favorite is an impossible task but one of my favorites was two summers ago to Colorado. My Aunt Lisa and Uncle Rick live out there along with my cousins, Jessica and Ryan so we went to visit them and it was so much fun! The red rocks and hills were gorgeous and the perfect weather made it that much better. I even went white water rafting...so scary but the thrill was amazing :)

I would definitely recommend a trip to Colorado to anyone!

Days 7 & 8 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge

Good morning! I have school Mondays and Wednesdays so today is one of those days...bleh...but I gotta do what I gotta do :) Yesterday I ended up being so busy because I had so much homework to do and on top of that, I had to work last night (By the way, I am a hostess and server at a little Italian restaurant.) That's why I am up bright and early to finish up some homework before I start school this afternoon. Oh and thanks Katie for being my first follower! Yay!

Day 7 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge: Favorite Movies

I absolutely love Johnny Depp so many of my favorites just happen to star his pretty self ;)

Edward Scissorhands

Pirates of the Caribbean (all 3)

The Notebook

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Sweeney Todd

The Holiday

The Hangover

Marie Antoinette

I think that pretty much sums up my favorite movies. I love watching the genre of movies that are on total opposite ends of the spectrum, either chick flicks or horror movies are what I LOVE.

Day 8 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge: A Place You've Traveled To

I have been very fortunate enough to leave the country and see quite a few places including Costa Rica and Mexico however I wanted to do a recent place I have been to.

SANIBEL ISLAND, FLORIDA

This past summer, my family (which consisted of my imediate family and my Aunt Lisa and cousin Jessica and of course my boyfriend Rusty), and I went to Sanibel Island which is about four hours away from where I live in Central Florida. We stayed in a condo right off the beach and it was sooo beautiful. The shells in Sanibel Island are so abundant so naturally we went shell searching (shelling? Idk) every morning. We stayed there for five days and I wish it could have been longer because it was such a relaxing break from the stresses of everyday life. I would definitely recommend Sanibel Island to anyone!
