Getting a little excited...

So as my lovely roommate pointed out this evening in a text, (while my favorite movie was playing on ABC family), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is coming to video April 20th!!!! That news got me extra excited about the last movie coming out this July.  I decided to try and get a sneak peak at part II, and I found this... so I decided to share it with you all.  It looks amazing!!! Can't wait!!! Now I just need to figure out who I should dress up as at the midnight showing...

Weekend in Monterey

This past weekend I actually went on another vacation, believe it or not!! This time Mike and I went to Monterey for the weekend and stayed at this awesome hotel, thanks to Deb and Papa.  The weekend was super relaxing, we just hung out on the beach and went antiquing (yes we are 80 years old).  We also had some great dinners at the Charthouse and the Rio Grill. The weather was amazing... I actually got to wear a skirt!! Every morning we woke up to seals barking, otters swimming, and dolphins.  I am not even exaggerating...it was amazing!!To the right is a picture of our view from our room!! Take that in Dayton cause I want those windows in my imaginary house...lol.  Minus the fact that seagulls were constantly trying to get into our room... it was pretty unbelievable.    During our three hour trip to the antique store we came across the strangest thing we have ever seen!!  Of course we all know how creepy old time dolls are... but Mike and I found the creepiest thing in the world.

 Take a look to your left... it could be yours for a measly $85.00!! We told Matt and Kim since we haven't bought them a wedding gift yet, that we will buy them this... Matt's response was " You have held off for almost two years, another week wouldn't hurt." LOL priceless.  Needless to say it was a great weekend... now its time to go back to reality.  But in one month we are going to NYC!!! Can't wait!!

Finally a blog/life update....

I really don't have much of an excuse for not blogging in months... but I am gonna come up with one anyways.  I have been traveling like a maniac lately (well since the first of the year really).  We have done a lot of trips with the girls... so the start of the year has been really good for all of us.  If the first three months of the year are any indicator for whats to come, 2011 is going to be quite the year!! I am looking forward to it.  Instead of explaining each trip individually, I thought I would just do a one post recap of the last three months... so here it goes.

Tahoe was our first trip of the year... all the girls got together and we drank wine, went sledding, and made giant snowwomen.  We figured out this year that it helps to have a genuine east coast person helping with the snowfriends (Sorry Kimmy you don't count... no snow in Florida, therefore not east coast...lol) But Sara not only decreased our time of making a snow man by at least 5 hours... we also increased our number of snowfriends by 3!!! We made a snow Gabby, Tweedy, and Jaybee.  All of which were accurately portrayed of the real person.  Sledding was a blast!!! We went to Granlibakken (Swedish, therefore incorrect spelling) and we did all kinds of crazy stunts down the hill.  It was like we were all ten years old again... one word AWESOME!!!

Next trip... almost exactly one month to the date... we went to Disney land, another all girls trip.  (As I am writing this blog I have realized that we don't like to invite boys very often...hmmm.. but we have more trips planned this year that are coed.)  Disneyland was a blast!! We spent three wonderful days at the Happiest Place on Earth!! I don't think we stopped laughing the entire time.  One day we all wore matching seven dwarf shirts... each girl was a different dwarf that represented their personality.  I was sleepy cause I sleep about 12 hours a night, Tweedy was Doc cause she always talks medical stuff and she's the smartest ;0) lol, Sam was happy cause she wanted to be (lol!!!... just kidding she is always happy) Tori was Sneezy cause... if you ever heard her sneeze you would feel bad for her cause she doesn't let it out.  Kimmy was bashful cause lets face it she is embarrassed by us a lot, and Jaybee was Grumpy just cause we thought it would be really funny to see her reaction... and it was! We didn't have a Dopey cause we were hoping we would find him there...but we didn't.  Anyways it was tons of fun!!  We have many more trips planned this year... New York is one of them and Vegas is another!!! YAY!!!

This photo may look awkward at first glance, but there is an explanation.  Jaybee said give me your best scary face (cause we were standing in line for Tower of Terror) I heard "best scary face", Tweedy Sam and Tori heard "best scared face," and judging by this picture Kimmy was not paying attention.

Getting ready to go on the best ride in California Adventure!!! Toy Story!!! So much fun!!

We tried to do a jumping picture... which actually turned out alright!! Go Team!!!

TAKE THAT TOR!!! I ACTUALLY BLOGGED!!!
