One year

I think back to when I use to work at little beavers. What I left. What I gained. Wondering if the kids would still remember me if I ever went to go back and visit. Wonder if anyone there misses me. Wondering if I made the right choice in leaving.

I look back to what I was doing a year ago. And then realize how far I've gone. A year ago. I was finishing my last term of college. My relationship with my ex was pretty much gone and just gave up all together. I survived my term of student teaching while gaining lots of new teaching strategies and experiences. I was lost with what to do with my life from being rejected into grad school and began my search for a new job.

And now look where I'm at.

In one year, I graduated from college. Broke up with my looser asshole boyfriend. Found a new job. Got a new boyfriend. Moved into a nice apartment. Regained new friendships. Lost a loved one. Found another teaching job and am once again happy.

Now I look at where my life is at now and think about the future. Tyrel and I looking for an apartment together. Our one year anniversary. A trip to Disneyworld for two. Marriage. And hopefully start saving up some money for kids. Of course who knows how long that will take, but I've learned to just enjoy what I have going on right now.

Life is wonderful

I wanted to post this because I want to give my friend a chance to adopt a baby. When she was just 17 years old she was diagnosed with a rare condition that has caused her to be unable to have children. She would make a wonderful mom and after fostering two adorable children, she is ready to make the next step.

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!
