Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

It's time for a random Monday! Go link up!

uno. The weather in Florida has been rainy and gloomy. Boo.

dos. I got my grades for last semester! 3 A's and 1 B!

tres. My whole family has been getting the stomach flu. So far, just me and my sister have been the lucky ones. If I miss a few days of blogging in the near future, you know why...

cuatro. Last night I went to ICE with my boyfriend and sister. I had a blast and the ice was beautiful! It was 9 degrees in the exhibit so we had to wear those ugly blue parkas. We also got to catch a Christmas show that the hotel was featuring. Overall, a great time and I can't wait to go next year.








cinco. Today I am going to start my Christmas present wrapping. It always takes me so long because I am such a perfectionist. Ugh.

seis. I'm loving the time I took off from work. I still have today and tomorrow off :)

siete. Christmas and 2011 are almost upon us!

Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters

Happy Monday friends :)

one. Although this weekend was incredibly busy, it was a success! I worked a lot at the restaurant as usual and on Saturday I helped serve a party that was for a wonderful cause. The party benefited Army wives that have lost their soldiers. The guests were so nice and it was a pleasure being a part of it.

two. Today is my absolute last day of school this semester! Finally! I can't wait to enjoy my winter break and the holidays with my family and friends. 

three. This Thursday I have a Christmas party to go to for Blush, the wedding planning company I work for. It's a combination party with two other companies in the industry, Rhodes Studios and Soundwave Entertainment. My boyfriend's family owns Rhodes Studios which is a wedding videography and photography company. If you live in the Orlando area or want to have your wedding in this area, check these companies out! The party should be FUN and I can't wait to post pictures.

four. It's another cold day in Florida! I'll have to make sure I am nice and bundled up today before going to lunch with the boyfriend.

five. This Friday I get my nails done. I desperately need a fill on my acrylics. I can't stand when they are grown out.

six. My friend Hannah leaves for England on Saturday :( I am excited for her but I will miss her so much!



seven. This weekend I am going to the Gaylord Palm's ICE exhibit. I am beyond excited to go and it should be fun spending quality time with the boyfriend and possibly the family. My family has now said it's a maybe for them but Rusty and I will be going fo sho.  

Have a wonderful day!

What I'm Loving Wednesday


I am loving that the weather outside is perfect today! Not too cold and not too hot.

I am loving that my boyfriend's "work mom" as he calls her (It's a boss lady at his work that is like a mom to him), offered me an awesome serving job for a party this weekend. I will be making good money so I am excited! I am a Hospitality major so this is right up my alley.

I am loving that Monday is the last time I have to go to my school until January.

I am loving that it's almost Christmas! It's my favorite holiday and always so much fun spending time with friends and family.

I am loving my pink Christmas tree. It's so cute and sits on my night stand.


I am loving that my family will be going to ICE for sure. We are going to see the ICE sculptures and stay the night at Gaylord Palms for one night. The boyfriend is coming too of course!




And of course I am loving my wonderful boyfriend :)

This is a picture he took yesterday when it was freezing outside!

Happy Wednesday :)

Let's Be Random :)

Fun Fridays

It's a random, fun Friday so go link up with Jen :)

Since I didn't get a chance to post yesterday I just wanted to thank all of the men and women that have served for this wonderful country!

My cousins, Jason and Ryan are currently serving in the Navy and Army so please keep them in your prayers.

My Veterans Day was super busy.

It consisted of a lovely lunch at Logan's Roadhouse and then a lot of work on my Computer Fundamentals of Business paper comparing humans and computers...gag!

If you have not had Logan's Roadhouse bread, you are totally missing out on a piece of Heaven! Their rolls are to die for.


Then that night, my boyfriend and I had to work at the restaurant and it was super slow. Plus people don't understand the whole concept of tipping 20% which is soooo annoying. Tip your servers well people! Unless they don't deserve it of course.

My doggies don't get along that great so I love capturing moments like this:


Aren't they so precious?

Look at our plants! I must say, I am extremely proud of my boyfriend for doing such a great job with taking care of these babies. We are moving them to the ground on Saturday!








Last night I was talking to my boyfriend's mom about Thanksgiving and Christmas plans for this year and it made me think of what I have been wanting to do for so long since living in Florida!

The Gaylord Palms is a fancy hotel we have here in Orlando and they have this event called ICE! every year. They feature 18,000 square feet of ice sculptures in 9 degree weather. It seems so cool to me (no pun intended haha) and I am already making hints to my boyfriend to take me.




Can you believe that's all made out of ice?? I have heard nothing but good things about this every Christmas so I can't wait to see it for myself!

Happy Friday everyone :)
