Macaroons and Memories

We didn't know we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun

In the last two weeks, I've gone back to my hometown for appointments and family events. It is always interesting going back. When I'm at home in O-town, I always feel like I'm missing "back home" and want to return. Then I return and am reminded why we left; there is nothing wrong with where I am from, I just love where I am going!

My sister arranged with her photographer friend to have some family photos taken. My mom has been dying for them so we appeased her. After all, you never know when you'll have the chance again! We color-coordinated our crazy bunch and they will hopefully be great! The photog sent over some sneak peeks after and they look great so we are looking forward to seeing the rest!

Since we live in the theme park capital of the world, we have annual passes to most of the parks around. These definitely come in handy when friends and family visit, but also just for a date night! I renewed our passes for this upcoming year to Disney and my sweet friend Maddie joined me to celebrate! Love having Disney addicts for friends! We visited Epcot and I tried my very first but definitely not last macaroon! Obsessed to say the least!! The one I got was a specialty for the Flower and Garden Festival, raspberry and dark chocolate! Amazing!

My favorite princess and her beast!

I love going to Disney on a random weekday! It is a perk for living in this chaotic town! Hoping to persuade my beau to go while he's home! It never gets old!
While I was home, my mom and I watched my nieces while my sister and her hubby attended a wedding! Spending time with the girls is a must while home, I just soak up my time with them! Plus, it gets me my kid fix! We watched Inside Out which is the most creative movie I've seen out of Disney in quite some time! I highly recommend it!
Macie is such a good little patient! Future MD maybe?
It is always good to see my family and visit but there's just something about my home that I've built with my love that I love to come back to. Luckily, B will be home this week and I will be one happy girl! It is true what they say about distance making the heart grow fonder, I miss him but at the same time, our hellos are the best after his long trips!

Thirty-Onederful!

Today I turned 31, it was a different birthday vibe than I usually have. Typically, I get really into my plans and can't wait for the day to come. Maybe it is because our plans changed drastically suddenly or because of the imminent threat of the hurricane looming in the back of my mind. But today ended up much better than originally anticipated! Of course, I needed the birthday Snapchat filter! Our plans were to go to Croom which is a motocross park ran by the state. The property used to be phosphate mines in Brooksville, it has since been used for motocross celebs and locals for enjoyment. Last minute, literally 5 hours before we were supposed to head north, the boyfriend tells me that due to the pain in the rump hurricane barreling towards the east coast they are closing the park. Talk about blonde emoji facepalm, ugh!! Now, I do not ride a dirt bike, heck I barely have the coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time. But I enjoy disconnecting, hiking, and relaxin...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Hey There 2020!

Oh 2019, what a year! I have to admit, this year taught me a ton, left me speechless at times (I know, stunning right?!), and with some gains as well as losses! I learned how to love myself and see who I am alone, I have ended relationships that were overdue to be ended, and I became a stronger coach with Beachbody! I gained a booty thanks to my amazing workout program and learned how to eat properly! 2019 gave me the strength I needed to end a toxic relationship that was disguised as something much different. The year had it's ups and downs, as does every year, but this one in particular helped me learn what I like and where my future goals lie. I experienced things I thought I wanted and realized where I am heading is exactly where I need to be. Now that that's over, reminiscing can be fun but I am ready for a new chapter! Oh 2020, do I have something planned for you! I am entering this year on a very different foot, starting today with organizing my goals and strate...
