Living my fairy tale dream

Is it possible to be so sure of something it'd be as if fate brought you together? Is it possible to fall in love with someone the moment you meet them? I use to not believe in love at first site. I always thought it was only in fairy tales. Receive loves first kiss and live happily ever after.

It seems weird to admit that I fell in love with Tyrel within almost 2 weeks of going out with him. He just seemed so perfect. Someone who was kind to me and treated me right. He makes me feel special every single day of my life. And even though we have only been going out for out 9 and a half months, I feel as though I could marry him.

Am I crazy for thinking things can be so perfect. It is wrong for me to try and live a fairy tale life? I personally don't feel there anything wrong with it becasue as long as I am happy that's all that should matter.

Last day: Universal Studios

It's sad to say but today was our last day in Florida. We used up all of our days at Disney so we decided to do something different. We went to Universal Studios, where they had lots of things to look and more intense roller coaster rides.

This was the first ride I went on, with Bradley and my dad. It's looks scary, but it was so much fun. It was Bradley's first time on a big roller coaster that takes you upside down and he was so nervous, but overall I think he enjoyed it. There were others we went on as well, some included the Harry Potter ride and Jurassic Park.

The last ride we went on was a water rafting ride, which was a mistake because we got soaked! We should have done it first because then maybe we would have dried off a little bit. But oh well, it was still fun, even though Bradley and I were the ones that got the most wet...

It's been fun, but I think I'm ready to sleep in my own bed once again

Magic Kingdom!

We spent our last day at Magic Kingdom yesterday. Took lots of pictures and walked around to get signatures from characters and watched the fireworks show. I bought the picture from splash mountain because I love the look on my face

We saw Princess Jasmine and Aladin and when we left Jasmine gave Braylon and kiss on the forehead and he left it on. He gave her a hug too but I didn't have my camera out.

We wandered around Tom Saywer's island, through the town and the caves, and my mom got standard there. Whoops. Braylon got to see woody finally and he loved it. We went on a last few rides before stopping to see the firework show. They did a projection thing on the castle, it was really fun to watch. And the firework show was absolutely amazing!

This place truly is magical. I hate to leave. Before I go, once last picture I took after I bought Braylon and Bailee a mickey hat. Braylon loved his toy story hate and Princess Bailee loved hers as well. We were all very tired at the end of the day and passed out as soon as we got home.

Just me and the kids

Today was a day when everyone decided to go see the Cardinals play and being that I'm not a baseball person I stayed home with the kids. We hung out, watched movies, played outside and did some swimming. I figured I could take the time to show off our little vacation home we are living in

A house our whole family can stay in. Easier then taking up 2 hotel rooms. But they couldn't get a big enough van to fit us all in so we ended up renting 2 cars

Yup it definitely feels like paradise here. I don't know if I want to go back...

Before I go I wanted to share that me and the kids found some turtles swimming in the pond by our house. There were lots of them swimming all over the place!

There is all sorts of wildlife by our house. Including some weird looking birds, which Bailee is certain one of them was a peacock and Braylon was fascinated by an ant hill in the ground

Still lots more to come, so keep checking in

So many pictures, so little time

I know it's late, and I'm really tired, but I wanted to post some more pictures up from my trip so far. On day 1 my family and I started at Magic Kingdom

There was lots to do and see there. Bailee took the time to visit all the Disney characters, my mom went to see different shows and Me, Brandee and Bradley went on rides. This was place was huge and we didn't get a chance to do everything. We plan on going back there on a different day. I will say, we got our grandma to go on space mountain!

We spent the entire day at Magic Kingdom and we ended with watching the light parade!

Today we went to Epcot:

More attractions then rides really. Still pretty cool. Reminded me a lot of OMSI, only bigger and better funded haha. We had a late start considering we were all wiped out from the day before and we slept in, which meant we only had half a day to spend here. But it was well worth it though because it ended with a huge laser light show and fireworks

Well I better get to bed, another fun filled day tomorrow!

And so my adventure begins...

I was up early this morning at 4am to get ready to leave for the airport. And even with the limited amount of sleep I had all week I was wide awake and bouncing off the walls. Needless to say, I drove Tyrel a little crazy with all the energy I had

As I was taking my bags to the car, Cuhna bolted out the front door and hopped in the front seat. So he went on a little car ride to see me off as well :)

I arrived at the airport, met my grandmother there and took off to Flordia to meet my family. The first flight went well. Went smoothly. I couldn't sleep because I was too wired so I just watched movies the whole time. The 2nd flight however I become lucky and was able to grab a window seat, which meant I was able to take some pictures

The excitement finally wore off and I slept pretty much the rest of the flight.

Of course I woke up just in time to see the sunset before I landed at my destination in Flordia.



Well that's all for now. Check back later for more updates and pictures!

FINALLY some results

After much work and dedication I'm finally seeing some results towards my weight loss. I'm down 7 pounds so far and I love it.

It feels nice to see the results as I step on the scale, but it's hard to feel happy about the results when I don't see the difference. Yes it's nice to see the weight go down the scale but I don't feel different. I still look the same to me and my tummy is still there.

But I'm trying to stay positive and am still sticking with my plan. Only 32 more pounds to go! :)

Life, love, and the pursuit of happiness

In the end, sometimes it's the little things that bring such happiness in your life.

Sure they may be different and maybe a little crazy

But I love them just the same. Hold on to the ones close to you, because in just a blink of an eye, they could be gone

Peace of mind

Whenever I'm feeling down, or stressed about how life is going. I sometimes wish I could climb. Climb to the highest mountain and just sit there and stare off into the world...

I feel at peace whenever I'm looking at beautiful scenery. Not sure why. Maybe I just like looking down on the world, feeling bigger then life it's self. I forget about my problems and everything else going on around me.

I could look at it all day. I feel that people these days are always in a hurry. Working long hours, taking care of kids, running errands. Not enough hours in the day to try and squeeze everything in. We don't really take the time to enjoy the little things in life. I think if more people stop what they were doing once in a while, people would be in better mood.

Just look at the that. How could you not stop and enjoy the things around you?

Uphill battle

Ok so it's been what... 3 months since I tried losing weight, and so far, no results. I'm feeling very frustrated and on the verge of giving up. But I know that if I give up, things will just go back to normal. I'm almost becoming desperate... I feel ugly and hate how I look. I want to be happy with my body, but can't be satisfied. I'm leaving for vacation in 16 days and not looking forward to the pictures.

I've let my weight become way out of hand. For too long I've used food for comfort. For too long I've used excuse after excuse and why not to workout. For too long I've over eaten and felt stuffed afterwards but still continued to eat. I'd hate to admit that I have an eating problem, because I don't... at least I don't think I do.

I won't give up. I can't give up. If it's the LAST thing I do
