Harry Potter Camp!!

There are honestly no words for this experience. I will try my best to find them though ;) This was one of the greatest weekends of my life. Like I'd mentioned before I've been waiting to go on this trip for a really long time and it definitely was everything I'd imagined. It was nothing short of a dream come true. I know I sound like such a loser right now BUT I don't even care because I am so extremely happy we went. A HUGE thank you to Megan for going with me, there's no one else I would've rather gone with and I'm so glad I had a friend like her to go with. Here we go...

First Landing in Orlando.

This huge poster is what welcomed us. Couldn't have been better.

Day 1: Harry Land

When we first walked in...

Couldn't be any more excited at this point... First glimpse of Hogsmeade.

Hogwarts Express.

First seeing Hogwarts. Pretty sure we stood there for at least a minute in silence just admiring it and taking it all in realizing we were finally there and seeing how perfect it was.




The Three Broomsticks.

Eating our traditional English breakfast.

Waiting in line to go in Hogwarts.


Honeyduke's, the candy shop.


Butterbeer!!! Amazingly delicious!


Oh just my own bus line.

With the Hogwarts Express conductor.

Hogsmeade at night.

The castle at night. Gorgeous.

Dumbledore's Office.

The pensieve.

Sorting hat. 
(This was all while walking through the castle. They have tons of awesome stuff on the way like the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore's office obviously, Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom, several rooms with talking pictures, the Fat Lady, and lots of other cool things. They did a really good job with it and at the very end had a ride.)

Day 2: Universal Studios. 


Our friend Marilyn.






Day 3: Island's of Adventure and HP Camp.

Waiting to go in Ollivander's with our favorite worker Matt.

Inside Ollivander's, the wand shop. Hermione look-a-like trying to find her wand.

Our Gryffindor robes.

Our new Gryffindor Scarves.

Our wands!!

Pumpkin Juice was delicious too!

Blondie's in Islands of Adventure.

That's all folks! I can't believe it's over. It came and went so fast and I still can't believe I actually went. It was seriously amazing!! Now I can't wait for the one in California. Such an absolutely incredible vacation that I'm so glad we went on. Thanks again Meg!!!! And thank you Harry Potter Camp for making me such a happy girl :)

February Fun

Let's play catch up. Ugh so much to write about. I'm overwhelmed thinking about my Harry Potter post. There's soooo much!!! This post is just to get the other stuff out of the way ;) haha kidding, it was all fun too. These are way out of order and I'm too lazy to fix it. So you're just gonna have to deal with it.

Lady Antebellum Concert/ Valentine's Day. It was amazing. Thanks for being my valentine mommy!! And Lady A, you were incredible. 









Tyler's birthday. Cutest little boy. So glad he invited me to his bday party. It was hockey themed and we went ice skating. At any given moment there was a kid on the ground, hilarious.




Me and my Kell at a wedding. She gets married sooo soon and I am so extremely excited for her! I love this girl and am way glad she's so happy.


Complete opposites with Meg.


It's no secret that I'm in love with this kid. And how can I not be? Look at that face!!


Superbowl. Delicious food, great company. Tayah is such a doll!!


Went and saw Nat in her school musical "Grease". She's a-ma-zing. By far was the best and so much fun to watch!! Talented talented girl and made the perfect Rizzo.



Jazz Game with my dad and Meg.





Helpin Kell with her bridals. Yes she's the most stunning bride ever.


Con's basketball game.


Hailey, Tayah, and Jonny. Cute lil family :)


Okay that was easier then I thought it'd be. The next one is gonna be a tough one though. HP Camp :)

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Megan and I go in ONE WEEK from today!! I. CAN'T. WAIT. I could not be any more excited!!! These next 7 days are going to draaaaag. Yes, we are grown adults going to a theme park. All the itineraries we filled out all asked how many kids will be traveling with us. None. Hi, we're 24 (almost Meg) and we are going just us 2 adults. It couldn't be any more perfect. This trip has been YEARS in the making folks. Ever since it was announced they were making it. But then Meg had to go and get knocked up and screw it all up. (jokes Meg, you know your son was the best thing that ever happened to me. He's the only thing I would've been okay delaying this trip for.) ANYWAYS, we're finally going and it's a dream come true. Seriously. If you know me you know I never cry, and I'm sure as soon as I see it I will. No lie. Okay, apparently I'm a LITTLE too passionate about this so I'm gonna stop now before I embarrass myself (since I know I most definitely didn't already). Dream come true. I'm done. One week. That is all.

January Happenings

January's over folks. Already. Just like that it flew by. Bye bye birthday month, you sure treated me well and I can't wait to play with you again. This post is going to be increeeedibly random because I've been so busy this month but I do wanna post about some of the things I did. 

Had a goodbye lunch with my good friend Heather and her daughter Lily who's going to be living in Mississippi for the the next few months. Miss you girl!


Make overs with these darling girls. Pink lips!


Went to Jade's super cute wedding! Loved it! And am soo happy for her!!



Bride and Groom.


With the beautiful Bride!


Danced the night away and towards the end looked down to see this cute little guy with no pants. I couldn't resist putting it up cuz I thought it was so funny...


Blonde curls and pink suckers...


The beautiful decor.


And just cuz they're cute..


Had my family birthday party with all my cousins then my grandparents got set apart that night cuz they're going on a mission to Malaga Spain! So excited for them and am definitely wanting to go visit! 
Love them!


Me and my darling cousin Ashley basically wore the same thing, black lace tops and gray pants.
  

Walked in to the kitchen the other day to this....


I was dying laughing. If you know my mom you know she is soooo extremely talented. Seriously the greatest lady ever and can do absolutely anything. She basically did my whole salon by herself. The floor, installed the sink, did the tile behind the sink, everything! She's outta control and if she see's anything she always thinks, "I can do that." And the crazy thing is she actually can! So she decided she could bake a cake and therefore made my 3rd birthday cake for the month, a Barbie cake. Yes, I know I'm 5. But hey I'm still obsessed with Barbie. NBD.


Anyways the woman's crazy good at anything she does. Love her.


Meg and I then had our own baking night (if you can even call it baking, all you do is roll balls, refridgerate, melt chocolate and dip. Easy). We made Oreo bites for her sisters baby shower and they turned out quite cute I'd say! Great job Meg! Oh and delicious too!!! Let me know if you want the recipe :) We had leftover chocolate so we dipped Oreos and ate those too. Yummmm.



Finally got together with Jenay and Britt for my birthday. We went to Happy Sumo for dinner then went and saw "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". Kinda slow but for the most part I really liked it, good movie! And I just absolute adore these two girls!!!


Don't mind Britt, she's just the greatest at pulling faces is all. 

Bring on February!! Lady Antebellum and freakin Harry Potter Camp in 2 weeks!!!! Ask me if I'm excited... Or if I could sleep last night cuz it felt like Christmas knowing that it's Harry Potter trip month. Eeeeek!!!
