T-5 Days Till Florida



Yes, that's right... in 5, FIVE, cinco days Chad and I will finally be on our way to Florida!!  It seems like we have been counting down for this forever!!  We are heading out early Thursday morning for our exciting 13 hour drive to Port St. Lucie for Chad's cousin's wedding Saturday.  We are going to stay in Jensen Beach and enjoy a little time on the beach with Chad's side of the family before the wedding weekend festivities begin.  We have not seen Chad's parents since January and haven't seen his sister and her family since Christmas so we are pretty excited to see everyone!  Saturday we will head to Disney World and spend the next few days there.  If you know me well, you know how much I LOOOVE Disney World!! Main Street USA is one of my favorite streets in the world, along with 5th Ave and Michigan Ave. :)

I am so ready to start packing.  At first I thought it was a little early to start packing and then I thought, why not start??  I don't have to actually put my clothes in a suitcase yet, just put everything I want to take in the spare bedroom.  So, that's exactly what I started doing!  I haven't finished because I love packing and deciding what to wear when, but I plan on finishing later tonight.  Then, I get to help Chad with his packing!  I've already started a list for him.  This just helps take a load off for the first of the week when I'm getting everything else ready to go and cleaning the car, right?  I've printed our hotel and dinner reservations for the week and have those ready too, which I made in January...  

I know this week I will be like the children in that old Disney World commercial when the kids can't sleep and the little boy whispers to his sister that he "is too excited" to sleep and then the dad whispers to the mom that he "is too excited to sleep".  That'll be Chad and me the next few days. 

The picture for this post was taken right after Chad and I got engaged at... Cinderella's Castle at The Magic Kingdom!  Can't wait until we are there again and this time we are MARRIED!  YaY!

Life is Good Today

I know, I know, many of you are wondering if I did indeed make it through the end of the school year because I have not yet blogged about it being... SUMMERTIME!  The truth is, I've been enjoying summer SO much that I just haven't had time to blog!  My days are spent working out, lying by the pool, relaxing with Chad, grilling out, going to the ballpark for Chad's softball games, and working some throughout the week at Vacation Bible School.  I've even managed to squeeze a day of fun shopping with my parents in there too!  My first OFFICIAL, full week off from school has been FANTASTIC!  This is one way I know how bad I am at blogging:  Today at the pool, I asked Chad what we did last weekend because I couldn't remember.  He told me he couldn't remember either and if I was a better blogger, we could just got back and read about our weekend!  That's sad for us at 26.  A little while later we remembered that last Friday we went to the Veranda for dinner and Saturday, was spent at the pool of course and then we grilled out and went to see Pirates of the Caribbean.  The thing about summer is, my days all run together!

I'm so ready for Florida this coming week, but after that I am hoping time will just stand still or atleast slow down some so that summer can somehow manage to last longer than two months.  Wouldn't that be nice?!  Summer goes by way too quickly, and this summer, Chad and I will be out of town almost every other week between vacations and camps so I know the time will fly by even faster!  For now though, I am just loving the fact that when I wake up (most mornings) I have nothing that I HAVE to get done right away!  That is one of my most favorite feelings, after the feeling of an upcoming vacation.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far too and this incredibly HOT weather!

Happy Summer!
