See Ya!

This little blog of mine is going to be quiet for the next nine days.
Why? Because I’m going on Vacation in Kissimmee, Florida until Sunday, October 14th!

Today at around 1PM, Travis, my brother and I are going to be shoving our suitcases and a ton of road trip food into my Mom’s tiny red Ford Focus and then heading out on the road. Yes, we are driving all the way to Florida! We are going to split the drive up into two days. So we will be heading to St. Florence, South Carolina today, and then to Kissimmee, Florida tomorrow. We’ve rented a house out down in Florida along with my parents, and my Aunt, Uncle, and their four young girls. My cousins are going to Florida to go to Disney World, of course, but Travis & I have a different plan in store for our vacation. We plan on going to Epcot and attempting to do the “drink around the world” challenge, which Ashley gave me AWESOME tips for. We are also going to be hitting up Daytona Beach, and Universal Studios: Island of Adventures so Travis can see Harry Potter world. We’ve been debating what else we’d like to do while we are down there. We’ve gone back and forth with: swamp air boat rides, helicopter tours, ATV tours, Gatorland… etc. I also have about 7 mixed drink recipes that I’d like to try while we are down there. Don’t worry, no more “vodka attacks”.

So, wish me luck on my 16 hour drive (996 miles) with two boys who are all
wired up on energy drinks & Starbucks espresso double shots.

Be back soon!

I’m Currently In Love With…


Sources: Snapple Peach Tea, Chefville, Patriot’s Jersey, Florida, Walking Dead, Wire Wrap.

1. Custom wire wraps by Dub Designs – One of my really good friends from high school now makes these awesome one of a kind, custom wire wrap pieces. You can check out his artwork here. My favorite piece so far of his, is that sea turtle above, and he is currently working on a seahorse that I can’t wait to see. Here are some other pieces of his that I love: a huge green stone, and this awesome black stone ring. You can also follow him on Instagram at “designsbythedub” where you can see cool rings like this.

2. Florida Vacation – I leave on vacation on Friday! I’m super excited. I’ll give you all the low down on Friday morning, and let you know when I’ll be returning.

3. Diet Snapple Peach Tea Drink Packets – I’m a big Snapple fan, so when I found these drink packets for your water, I had to pick them up. Peach Tea is my all time favorite, so I’ve been drinking these suckers like they are going out of style.

4. Walking Dead – I love Zombies, so it’s no surprise that I love the Walking Dead, and it returns this month! On October 14th! As horrible as it sounds, I hope Lori and her son kick the bucket this season. & Glenn and Daryl better stay alive.

5. Chefville Zygna Facebook Game – I’ve been addicted to this game for the past month. I haven’t played those facebook games in a long time, but the one day while I was logging in, I saw a button for Chefville. I was bored, so I clicked it and now I’m addicted. The game is only 3 – 4 months old, so it’s still in progress, but I’m having a fun time playing with the decor of my restaurant. I have a garden theme going on. :)

6. Jersey & Game Days – Every day that the New England Patriots play, Travis & I wear our jerseys all day long. So, whenever I wake up on Saturday or Sunday, the first thing I saw while jumping out of bed is “Jersey Day!”. I have a pink Brady jersey right now and Travis has an actual Patriots jersey, but we both want to get away jerseys. We just like the white.

What are you loving for the month of October?

Last Month on Mailbox Journey

I’m off to three separate doctor appointments today, yuck! So I thought I’d leave you guys with a little wrap-up of everything that went on last month on this little blog of mine. I use to wrap everything up at the end of the month, but I’ve since fallen off the wagon, but I’m going to give September a try…

September was a slow month for me. I don’t know if it was the truck shopping, my tv shows returning for the fall season or what it was, but I didn’t really post that much. In fact, it has been my lowest month of posts since my very first month of blogging (August 2011) where I started half-way thru the month. Hmm.. hopefully October will be more exciting!

Currently Loving: September Edition | Photo Gallery Mudroom Wall | Video Apartment Tour

New Layout Which Travis made me change, ha! | Fall Mantel & Candles | Latest Additions: Vase & Rug

Inspirational Quote | Triangle Felt Wreath Tutorial | We bought a truck!

Things I’m looking forward to this month: Vacation, Vacation, Vacation. What are you looking forward to?
