2 States in 2 Days!!

Dear blog, this past weekend was out of the ordinary for us. We don't tend to be spontaneous, at least not with big stuff. Well this weekend was a spontaneous one and man I'm so happy we were. On Saturday we drove to Memphis, TN. I wrote a blog about what we did while we were there, if you are interested. But on Sunday after we had gone to church and eaten our lunch, I got this urge to just go somewhere. Originally I wanted to go to Nashville, TN. I still do, but I felt it would be a long drive. So we ended up driving to Branson, MO. This has been a place I've wanted to visit for the last 8 years and we finally made it happen. We packed up in less than an hour, which is really something when you have kids. Let me tell you trying to pack for two children and yourself is very chaotic. I was bound to forget something. I dragged my parents with us, they weren't thrilled about the short notice. I think they ended up enjoying themselves.

We stayed at the Grand Country Waterpark Resort. Some of my friends have stayed here and they really enjoyed it. They liked the fact that there is a water park in the resort. The water park really caught my attention. My son enjoys water and slides, so I thought it was perfect and what better way to enjoy Labor Day. After Labor Day the water parks begin to close. This was our last chance to enjoy the water. We got there at 9:00 p.m, which gave us the opportunity to enjoy the indoor water park for an hour before it closed. My son had a blast! He wasn't thrilled with the giant bucket of water dumping on everything, but he did enjoy the water slides. After we got done with the water we wanted some food. We ate at Papa Grand's Pizza, we paid $7.99 and it includes all you can eat pizza, salad, and pasta!! So worth it!!



The next morning we wanted to visit the Titanic Museum. Titanic is one of my favorite movies and I've been wanting to go to the museum. The entrance was $30 per person. Before you go in you are given a card with the name of someone who was on board the Titanic. It was interesting seeing all of the little details. My favorite part was the staircase! So beautiful! We had a stroller for baby girl and we couldn't go up the stairs with it. My husband was so sweet he took the elevator so I could go up the staircase, such a gentleman. It was a bit of a disappointment that we couldn't take pictures inside. We drove a bit around town. The other museum I wanted to visit was Hollywood Wax Museum, this being a spontaneous trip we didn't plan our budget for it. Maybe next time :). I'm looking forward to taking a picture with Jimmy Fallon and Genie lol.

Back to School

Dear blog, it is time to start a new semester. I'm getting so close to being done with my Master's degree. I have 5 classes left; God willing I will complete my Master's and graduate this August. I'm so pumped to finally be done and get a small break from school. Which is ironic because my degree is in teaching. It is time to buy text books and school supplies. Even though my classes are online, I still like to have a notebook to take notes as I read. Also, I love post it notes to write reminders of when assignments need to be turned in, pens, pencils, and highlighters. I'm all about making to-do lists, so I always have a piece of paper around that tells me what I need to be doing. This is a lap computer desk, I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond it is not found online. I have had this desk for about 5 years now. I really like this desk because it can be moved around; it can be used on the couch or just to sit on the floor. This desk has two slots on the side to ke

Wish List for Valentines

Kiel James Patrick: Brunch At Tiffany's , I discovered this store last year and I absolutely fell in love. In particular with this pearl necklace, I have been wanting it since I saw it. It is quite pricey, hence why I have not been able to get it. This necklace costs $82.00; I mean it is made up of pearls so I don't expect for it to be cheap. Also, it looks like a classy piece that every girl should have in their jewelry collection. Pearls will always be in style. Tory Burch: Perfume ; this one is the 1oz bottle for $65.00. This has been on my wish list for a year. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, I can use it as a decoration on my vanity. Tory Burch: Tilsim Logo Heart Stud , perfect gift for Valentines Day. These earrings are gorgeous. Victoria's Secret: The Cotton Mayfair Pajamas , this pajama is so cute, it's in my favorite color. Also, I need new pajamas, I have plenty of pajamas bottoms, but not tops. This one is perfect because it

Week 6 Weight Loss Journey

Image
Dear blog, once again no change in my wight. I look slimmer, but no weight has come off. I have not gained or lost weight; my brother says it's because I don't have a clean diet and I think he is right. I have been working out really hard, but not made much improvement in the types of food I have been putting into my body. I'm really trying to make better choices, but those sweets get me all the time. Also, I feel hungry all the time, I don't understand. It has really been hard. For this coming week I'm going to try to stay away from sweets and of course continue to work out hard core. I feel like I should only document when there is actual weight loss happening. What do you think or are you liking the weekly updates?
