Beach Trip to Destin

I am just now getting around to posting about my weekend trip to Destin Florida. This week has just been a busy week for us and I have felt totally exhausted every day. I think this past weekend was catching up with me. Let me warn you there are lots of pictures. Sadly I did not get any good pics of the beach because the weather was pretty much yucky! Boo :(

I flew in late Thursday night to ATL. It was about 11 and I was so tired so me and Jennifer (the brides sister) headed to bed. We got up early Friday morning and loaded up to head to the beach. We were so excited and hoping the weather would hold out for us. Unfortunately it did not. We got there around 2 on Friday and it was raining. We stayed at a wonderful condo right on the beach. Its a complex of condos. The place is called Villa Coyoba. This place was amazing and so big!!! I only got a few pics of it, but here is the website. Finally Lauren (the bride and Jenn's sister) arrived with all of her girlfriends. She had no clue I was coming and she was totally shocked and surprised. It was definitely worth it. I wish I would have captured the look on her face on camera. It was priceless!! It was so fun to be able to surprise her. We stayed in Friday night and hung out at the condo. We were all in bed by 9 o clock. I know, we are big party people right. haha. The beds were so comfortable, oh my goodness, I slept like a baby.

Saturday we got up and a few us decided to go take a morning walk on the beach in our pjs. The weather was still kind of yucky, it was so cloudy but at least there wasn't any rain. We all decided we were going to make the best of it no matter what. We got our bathing suits on and headed down to the beach, we ended up laying on the beach wrapped up in our towels because it was so cold. haha. It was funny to see a bunch of girls in their bathing suits trying to get some sun when the sun was nowhere to be seen. We finally got smart and decided to head up to the pool. We found out it was HEATED!!! It felt so good, we were so excited. We spent basically the rest of the afternoon in the pool and lounging. The sun was only out for about 1 1/2 and we soaked up every minute of it. None of us thought we were going to get any sun and then when we all headed in at about 5 o clock, every single one of us was BURNED!! Yep your right, none of us even put sunscreen on. That's what we get. haha. Saturday night we headed to dinner at Fishermans Wharf. The food was delicious and I definitely recommend it. After dinner a limo picked us up and we headed out on the town in Destin.

It was a great trip and I had tons of fun!!! I was so glad to be able to catch up with my two favorite girls. I can't wait to go back to Destin when hopefully the weather will be better.

Infected Computer

Hey guys! Sorry I have been MIA a little lately. Our home computer has been in the shop. It has some nasty virus and we are trying to get it fixed. It has had the virus for a while but we were still able to use it and now you can't even get to the home screen on our computer. UGH, I hate computers sometimes. :( Hopefully we will have it back by this weekend. I have been missing blogging and catching up on everyones blogs. The only time I have a chance to catch up on your blogs is at work, so sorry for the lack of commenting.


Todd and I survived our first night of babysitting our 21month old niece. More on that later with pictures :) We also had a wonderful anniversary. I am so blessed by a wonderful husband.


Also do you read Brit's blog. Her little girl Kennedy just turned 1 and she threw her a fabulous birthday party. Britney had twittered last week that she was in need of a birthday banner because the one she ordered off etsy; the girl just took her money and ran. I jumped at the chance to make Baby K a birthday banner and it turned out so cute. Check out all the pictures here. I love making banners, cards, anything crafty. So if you need something just let me know and I will make it. You can always email me. My email is on the sidebar.

I am heading to Destin this weekend with my 2 favorite girlfriends. I am super EXCITED!!! The bride Lauren doesn't know. Her sister Jennifer is picking me up at the airport and then we are headed down to the beach super early Friday morning. Lauren will be coming a little later with some other girls. Its going to be a total surprise. She won't find out until she gets to the beach :)

I hope you all have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY!! haha I am a dork I know.

PS: All you ATL girls have inspired me. I have loved reading all of your posts about your weekend and insecurity. Thanks for sharing.

Headed to the Beach...

ITS OFFICIAL!!! I am headed to Destin Florida at the end of April with two of my favorite girlfriends that live in the ATL. (Atlanta) I am thrilled!! My friend Lauren is getting married in July and they are having her Bachelorette Party in Destin. Jenn and Lauren are sisters. Of course when I found out I knew I had to find a way to go. I only get to see Jenn and Lauren about once a year so this is a blessing. I grew up with them my whole life. I have known Jenn since we were about 3 years old. We were inseparable growing up until they moved to Georgia when we were 6 i think? Our families have always kept in touched and stayed close since then.

Aren't we so cute? haha. That's me in the middle in case you couldn't tell

Me and Jenn

I had been looking at flights since last week and was getting a little depressed because they were so expensive. I was thinking there is no way I can spend that kind of money for one weekend. Well lo and behold the prices dropped yesterday. Round Trip flight to the ATL cost me a whopping 158.oo. PERFECT! I immediately booked. I will leave Thursday evening and fly into Atlanta and then we will drive to Destin Friday morning. I will fly back home Monday morning. I am beyond excited and looking forward to hanging out with girls for an awesome weekend at the beach :)

I plan on doing lots of this.... (this was last summer at the beach, I'm on the right)

and this...

Jillian where are you? I need to get back with my trainer and the 30 day shred so I can get my bikini bod ready. Its such a beautiful day outside today, I think I will go for a little run. I officially have motivation. I have been slacking in the fit train area lately because the weather has been cold and yucky, and lets face it all it makes me want to do is curl up on the couch with a blanket and have a fire :)
