The Happiest Place on Earth

Captain of the struggle bus today. That would be me. I'm so tired my face hurts. Anyone else have this issue? No? Just me? I should really go to bed earlier ,but last night I had to stay up to watch my show NASHVILLE! Do you watch? If not you're missing out! The season finale is next week sooooo you should probably catch up! :)

Last weekend my Ma & I took a little mini vaca to our favorite place... Disney! We had one day left on our tickets so of course we had to go ASAP. It actually seemed a little less crowded than last time we went a couple of months ago. It was pretty warm, but not unbearable. Its getting into those awful temps here in Florida. There is nothing like FL heat & humidity. & I don't mean that in good way!

On the way to Orlando

Ready for the day with our ears on of course! :)

We had a blast! We rode all of our favorite rides. & had WAY too many sweets! Disney has a cart on every corner with ice cream, slushies, cookies, churros (OMG THE CHURROS) ETC ETC ETC!
Of course we fit some shopping into the trip! Duh! My Ma & I will always find a place to shop on vacation. We have a radar for it. Ha! It was a perfect girls trip.
& again I will say... Disney does not help my desire to have children whatsoever. If you have a little bit of baby fever going on, just take you a little trip to Disney for the day. I promise you will be cured within 2 minutes of being there.

Funny story... On the way home from Orlando we stopped to get gas. Well it seemed that my Ma stopped at the shadiest gas station in Orlando. When I went inside the store to pay I get in line & ya know just minding my own business. A guy standing in front me says (very loudly) "Danggggg we got Miley Cyrus in here tuhhh-dayyyy!" Yes exactly like that. I just kept staring at my wallet. Then it dawned on me... Miley Cyrus? Really? I am pretty sure I am not naked and/or have my tongue hanging out. GROSS. But I'm guessing he had to be referring to Hannah Montana Miley. I have long hair like she did then, that is THE ONLY resemblance. Apparently he hasn't seen the hot mess that is Miley Cyrus these days?

On a side note. I have some big news! NO I am not prego. But YES I will be going back to school in the fall. I have been thinking about it for a long time now. I'm totally terrified to go back to be honest. But I know its going to better my future & my career. My current employer will reimburse me for part of the tuition also because it relates to my position. So I am pretty excited! I know its going to be hard with working a full time job ,but I know I can do it if I just put my mind to it. & that is exactly what I plan to do.

Hope you have an awesome Thursday! :)

25 & Disney

February 13th was my 25th bday. 25..... it sounds so weird! I feel too young to be this old. (not that I'm really old but ya know what I mean) I had a pretty awesome bday though. My hubs had school the night of my birthday so he surprised me and took me out to dinner the night before to Mojos. It is my absolute favorite place to eat BBQ. If you're in the Jacksonville area you need to go there asap! Obviously I am not hard to please. Give this girl some good BBQ & sweet tea & shes happy. :)

The day of my bday I had to work. BOO! Who works on their birthday?! It should be a law you get your birthday off. Just sayin'. The night of my bday my bestie Hannah took me out to dinner at Chilis. We ate way too much, had some dessert & some much needed girl time. I love our girls nights! There is always constant laughing! Girl talk & laughter is good for the soul.

A little birthday collage my Ma created & posted to FB. The bottom right pic is my first trip to Disney in 1993, 4 years old :)

My present to myself, or my husbands present to me you could say was Disney tickets! I haven't been to Disney since my 21st bday. & before then since I was probably 10 or 11 years old. My Ma also got tickets for her bday last year in July. So she was way over due to take this trip! The first day we did the Magic Kingdom park. If you're not a fan of children do not go there... I repeat.. DO NOT GO TO MAGIC KINGDOM. Little kiddies running around everywhere! But thats what Disney is for :) The 2nd day we went to the Hollywood Studios park. This more of an adult park. They have a couple of kiddie rides too though. & the best Churros ever! Get you one!

We were pretty excited about these little "wallets" we found at the gift shop by our hotel. Perfect for carrying your ticket, money etc.

Riding the Ferry over to Disney

You can't do Disney without the ears!

On the tram from the parking lot.

One of the 3D musical shows we saw. You know those really annoying jolly people who sing & dance along? Yeh. That was us :)

It rained a little on us at the Magic Kingdom ,but it wasn't spoiling our Disney trip! FYI buy your ponchos outside of Disney. WAY too expensive inside the park.

Holy dessert! Disney is just amazing at everything!

Recreating my childhood :) #Disneykid4life

The pretty castle at night <3 br="">

The Tower of Terror ride at Hollywood Studios. If you are looking for a thrill. This is your ride! My Ma was not a fan...

Disney is amazing! I don't know how they come up with some of the things they do! I can't wait to go back. Hopefully sooner than later!

Do you love Disney like I do? Any Disney tips you would like to share?
