Awesomeness

Who knew such things even existed?  I kinda want these!

Lion King, Florida, Vacation, what more could a girl want?

So I just need to make it through 6.5 more hours of work and then I am off for 5 days!!!  Going to see the Broadway production of the Lion King tonight (but in Richmond), then off to Vero Beach, Florida--yes, driving through the night, for 5 magnificent days of NO WORK :)  Can't wait for some fun in the sun! 

Youth Retreat....SUCCESS!

So I survived, which is saying a lot.  I was definitely tired on Sunday when we got home, but it was worth it.  I had a great time with my girls and got to do a lot of fun things--bowling, jockey's ridge, walk on the beach, dip my feet in the 48 degree water--YIKES!  All in all, I would not have changed anything, well except maybe allowed for some extra sleep in there.  I averaged about 5.5 hours a night---but what did I expect with 8th grade girls?  We had a blast and I most enjoyed getting mistaken for a high school student all weekend--YES!


I, in fact, did not get any sleep yesterday but caught up last night with a whopping 9 hours!!!  HOLLA!  


Pictures to follow, as soon as I get my lazy butt motivated.  In other new and exciting news....I got my new phone today--the Droid Razr Maxx :)  I am super happy, my first real adult phone!

I just want some sleep...

So for the past few nights, I have NOT been sleeping well.  Up 8-15 times a night leaves me pretty exhausted the next day and normally that is okay, because I think well I will just catch up the next night but combine a few days of that with the idea of a youth retreat this weekend and I am starting to get a little anxious that I will never sleep again! haha  At least I have Monday off of work so if I need to play catch up then, I guess I can!


Happy Weekend all! :)

5 beach trips before Summer

So in thinking back to one of my previous posts, now that I am going to Vero Beach, Florida, I will actually be making it to 5 different beaches before the summer kicks off.  I guess I need to start planning some beach trips in the actual summer time!

5 states in 5 days: a recipe for fun or one tired Laura?

So in keeping with radical tradition, my friend CJ and I are going to embark on a 5 states in 5 days journey to Florida and back in about a week!  I was sitting today minding my own business, when CJ asked if I wanted to go to Florida for a long weekend next week.  Umm sure why not!  So next Thursday night, we are going to see The Lion King in Richmond, then we will hop in the car and drive to Vero Beach, Florida through the night.  Crazy?  Maybe.  Insane?  Most likely.  Fun?  You betcha!  Her parents are on sabbatical down there and have a 2 bedroom condo that we can crash in with meals provided.  Vero Beach is just a hop, skip, and a jump from Orlando too so we can hit up a park or two for our quick little jaunt.  


If we planned it out correctly and can do without the sleep, we will likely arrive sometime around lunch on Friday and hang out by the water, then will be there Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, then get up super early Tuesday morning to be back in town by 6pm (I have my class Tuesday night).


All in all, I am not gonna lie, I am pretty pumped!  Mickey Mouse, here I come!

Love is in the Air....

Can you feel it?  It is in fact Valentine's Day and I am all decked out in my pink :)  I hope everyone has a fantastic day of love and knows that they are loved by someone out there!
