It's been a while

Where to even begin??

I am horrible at blogging, but with Instagram making its entrance in a BIG way, I have a fear that people are going to stop blogging. And being someone who LOOOOVES to blog stalk, I need to put some blog posts out into the universe so that it will return some to my Google reader (don’t even get me started on what to do when reader is retired).

So, let’s see here. Oh yes, I work now, as in a real job. Gone are the days of me lounging around watching Pretty Little Liars and feeling sad for myself because I had to move to the sunny and warm state of Florida. I work for a Healthcare Marketing Firm as a Project Manager. It’s kind of hard to explain, but I do work from my house (cheaper for the company to pay for my internet/phone bill than to pay for real estate to have a real office), and I love my life. The job is different week to week, but I love my boss so much and the job is even better. She is super flexible, and a lot of weeks I only work 30 hours so that I can go to the beach and be lazy. It’s fab. Dylan is an all-star at school, getting almost a 4.0 this semester (he was soooo close). He has really amazed me how dedicated he has been this semester. Sure it stinks sometimes being home alone until 11pm at night (which is also not good for baby-making since I love me some sleep), but it has really paid off with his grades. He is in the top of his class, and just makes me proud in the cheesiest way possible. Florida living has really taken a liking to us, and we have loved getting tan (and sometimes burned), playing outside all the time, taking up tennis again, and swimming until our hands are raisins.

We all know people don’t read blogs for the words, so I’ll put some pictures too, don’t worry. In March one of my cutest/best friends ever Rachel and her hubby went to Orlando for a little baby moon. Dylan and I went up to Orlando for a few days with the Barkley in tow, and left her at the Disney World Pet Resort. She hated it, but we felt good knowing she was only a few miles away and getting the best treatment ever, because let’s face it, Disney is amazing. Since this trip was sans kids, we just did whatever the hell we wanted to, and we didn’t even have to go back to the hotel room for an afternoon nap (usually I need one). We closed Epcot the first night, and then started the next day with Rachel and the group at Magic Kingdom. Rachel and Aaron treated us to the BEST meal ever at “Be Our Guest”. Think Beauty and the Beast Castle, AKA every little girl’s dream. It really was magical.

Then we rode some rides, went to Animal Kingdom (the new Kilimanjaro ride is AMAZING!!), and then ended the night again at Magic Kingdom. Dylan and I were on the Big Thunder Mountain Coaster while the fireworks show was going on, and I think I said at least 15 times “This is so Magical”. And, it really was. I freaking love Disney, even without kids. I know it will be a different experience one day when we get to go back with our littles, but even with just boring old adults, it’s pretty great. Enjoy some pictures, some stolen from others below:


Be Our Guest
This may be my fave picture ever of Dylan. I don't get it.


That Toy Story Ride is amazing. I always lose, and don't even worry I got mad at Dylan after I lost (like no talking to him for atleast 15 minutes mad).

I didn't even know they had an aquarium. Duh, of course they do, it's Disney.
Typical.


Sure do love her.
