Has it really been a year?

Last year on May 26 I started this blog so my then boyfriend would be able to stay up with everything going on since he was in New Orleans and I was here in SC. I can't believe it's been that long!! I've been TERRIBLE at keeping up with my blog, but I am just going to keep trying! So, what has happened in the past year? I went to NOLA for a second trip in the beginning of June. I thought it was great. But, then there was the giant breakup I had with Chip. That wasn't fun. A year later and I still occasionally get upset about it. It's a big change when you think you'll spend the rest of your life with someone and then they suddenly change their mind... It was hard! But, I have incredible family and friends that helped me through it. PLUS, because of him I  met some of the most amazing people ever! I absolutely consider them some of my best friends! SO, what else? I had a Twilight birthday party, one of my best friends since I was itty bitty got married, had my keys stolen at work, dressed up as Snooks for halloween, saw another friend (and Murray's godfather) get married, got to see Danielle and her sweet family before Christmas, Murray turned 2 which I never blogged about, we went to Universal Studios in Orlando and had SOO much fun and now here we are in May! My sweet little cousin is graduating from high school this week (It's been 5 years since I graduated!!), we're going to DC this weekend, and I already have my next New Orleans trip planned for August!

So, hopefully I can get this blog to be a regular thing for me again!! I miss blogging!!!

 

Just going to keep trying...

but I have been TERRIBLE about updating my blog!!! I really am going to try to keep up with it better! So about 3 weeks ago we (Murray, me and our friend Tamara) went and met some of my friends in Orlando. It was   a blast! We went to Universal Studios to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Now, you have to understand that I am a complete and true Twihard...I know (knew) NOTHING AT ALL about Harry Potter. I didn't have any interest in watching or reading the movies, so when Danielle asked me to go, i was just like sure I can just go and hang out with some awesome friends! So that was my plan, and if I had time to watch the movies before I went, ok. So Thursday night I had a class, but Murray, Tamara and myself left afterwards about 9pm. We drove through the night, which was interesting...it honestly wasn't a bad drive though. We got there about 5:30 AM and went to meet Danielle and her family at their hotel room. We decided to all get ready and go get breakfast (and COFFEE) before we headed to the park. Here are the two cuties of the morning...

When I say that these two love each other, I'm not kidding. Murray is completely lovesick for her Harper! Here's a group shot from day 1...

 It was pretty chilly that day!!! We had fun. We had lots of  Butterbeer and saw so much Harry Potter stuff...they had me convinced I needed to see the movies!!! That night our friends Kristen, Matt and their little boy Micah joined us. It was so fun getting to see everyone! We went to dinner and went to BED haha! I was exhausted by the end of Friday!!! Saturday we got up and went to breakfast again before the park. We headed to the Dr. Seuss part of the park and we rode some fun kiddo rides. 

This was me and my girly after the Cat in the hat ride...she loved it. During it, she looked at me and said "Mama WEEEE!" We went back to Harry Potter for a while and rode some more rides...it was really fun and the kids were so good!!!  It was a long day, but so fun!

Group shot!!! I love all these people!!! True friends are hard to come by, but these people are as good as it gets right here!!! 

And just me, Kristen and Danielle.

 Can't wait to do it again!!!!! :)
