FAVORITE THINGS...

This ended up being Andy and my FAVORITE thing this cruise!

We were INSTANT ADDICTS!! Sad, but true.
By the end of the cruise were were finally kind of getting the hang of it. It is MUCH harder than it looks.



Thanks Royal Caribbean for putting the Flowrider on your boats, and thanks to the AMAZING sports staff that helped us SO much!!

I HAVE BIG PLANS...

For those of you who know me... you know I have an irrational fear of putting holes in the walls.
CRAZY, RIDICULOUS AND IRRATIONAL!!
This fear makes it difficult for me to decorate my house. Here we are at 3 years and I still have mostly bare walls.
I HAVE BIG PLANS TO FIX THIS!



This is a hallway that you see coming in through my front door on the way to my kitchen. When we moved in our original thought was to buy a gigantic picture that would look good in that alcove. I spent 2 years looking. I could not find one that I liked enough to spend outrageous amounts of money on. So then this thought came to me when my friend brought me over the vinyl FAMILY for another project, (we decided that COLLIER would work better,) and another friend said she wanted to take our pictures.

Thanks to Alisha Hunsaker Photography for the pictures!!
Thanks to Chelsea, my crafty buddy for the vinyl!!
Thanks to my amazing sweetheart for allowing pictures to be taken!!



THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP WITH MY BIG PLANS...

HAPPY 10 YEARS!!


January 8th, 10 years ago, I was married to my best friend.  
Since then we have had many adventures and amazing times.  To celebrate this time we have spent together we headed out to Disneyland for our anniversary.




Since we have been unable to see Disneyland at Christmas this year, I was excited to hear that the Disneyland Christmas Celebration was still going on for our weekend getaway.  Two things I love all rolled into one: Christmas & Disney!

We started off the weekend with dinner in Indio, CA, at this little pizza place we like, and then continued on to Anaheim.  When we arrived, I asked Andy if he would take me to the store, because I had forgot a few things, and he agreed. On the way back we stopped at Pinkberry!  Yum!!

When we got to Disneyland, it was pretty crowded, but we decided we would have a great time anyways.
I LOVE LOVE The Haunted Mansion at Halloween and Christmas, because they turn it in to the Nightmare Before Christmas, with Jack Skellington.

We then joined Winnie the Pooh for his Blustery Day adventure and grabbed a quick bite to eat at the new Jolly Holiday eatery.  It is SO cute! I also love how they are trying to steer away from complete junk food and offer sandwiches, salads, quiches and soups. 

From our table we were able to see the Christmas Fantasy Parade, which I loved!  Totally Holiday!! 





We also found out that they were having a Dia de Los Reyes celebration, or 3 Kings Day celebration in Frontierland, and went to check it out.  It was so fun! They had Mickey and Minnie doing traditional dances with the dancers, crown making, face painting, traditional food for the holiday and much more.



The Dia de los Reyes is a traditional feast day to celebrate the manifestation to the world that Jesus is the Son of God.  This celebration is traditionally celebrated on January 6th. 





Then off to dinner and fireworks! Yummy, Yummy!


The fireworks were all done to Christmas music and were just absolutely beautiful!  At the end they played White Christmas and then had it snow down Main Street! What a great way to end a fantastic day!



On Sunday, January 8th, we decided to eat an early lunch and head home.  We made reservations for the Blue Bayou for a romantic lunch. We were able to get a water table, and enjoy the ambiance of the ride. What a fun anniversary lunch!


Thank you honey for making this the most AMAZING 10 years I could ever ask for!  You are so sweet, kind, generous and loving in all that you do for me and others! I think you are the greatest husband and friend!  Thanks for everything, including my fun anniversary weekend!



YOU ARE MY FAVORITE...

DISNEYLAND PHOTO BOOK!

I found a coupon for a free photo book from MixBook.com, and I decided to make it of my Disneyland trips.  What a fun way to relive the memories and not have all the work of actually scrapbooking!

There ended up being a couple issues with the coupon code, and apparently the company sent out the coupon to only a few of their close associates.  The coupon went viral, and they received MANY more coupons than expected.  I e-mailed them, and they were very quick to respond.  They also gave me a temporary code for a free book.

Thanks Mixbook.com
Or come check out the full book here.
