2011 so far!

< A random picture from this year. :)


I never update this blog anymore and I was good at doing it when I first started it. Ah! Oh well!


Our Florida vacation was just wonderful! Seeing it through Gaia's eyes, I can only imagine how it was when my parents first took my brother and I to Disneyworld. She is still a little daredevil and would ride everything she could get on. The big ride being "Rip Roarin Rocket" at Universal Studios. She loved that roller coaster! Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure was a blast and very real looking. It was a 2-2.5 hour wait for the shops, but hey it was worth it for me! :) I would say the highlight was swimming the dolphins. Discovery Cove is just an awesome place. Yeah its hella expensive, but once you pay for your admit; everything else is free. All the food and drinks you want you can have. The dolphin experience was early in the day and so it was chilly outside, but it was awesome! :) I got to watch Gaia's reaction when she swam in with the dolphin. Magic Kingdom we did on Christmas Eve; my bro and niece's final day; and we were so tired that we didn't make it to 10:00 that night! LOL


My weight loss journey is continuing and going very well! :) I am down 42 pounds as of today and working toward my next goal of 50 pounds. My mom is still not at her magical 30 yet, but she's getting there. I am just amazed at how I have kept at this and come this far. There is no going back for me now! :) I am not sure how far I want to go right now, taking it 20-30lb at a time. Got a ways to go before I am down to a normal weight for my height, but this feels so wonderful! :)


We are headed to New York City April 12th! :) Yes I am very excited and cannot wait to go! My mom and I are doing a girl's trip up there and flying there and back; which will be the worse part of the trip for me! We have so much jammed into 3 days, but its going to be awesome!! :) The first day we are talking about going to Carlos' Bakery aka Cake Boss in New Jersey to sample some of their famous cupcakes or cakes or whatever. ;) Wednesday will be day of sight seeing in the city and WICKED that night. I am so excited to see Wicked on Broadway. It will be my first "sit-down" trip, meaning a non-touring company. ;) Thursday will be seeing the famous American Girl Place in NYC! I grew up on these books and I am finally going to see the store in person. Yes I still have my AG doll. :) And also we come home Thursday; but it will be 3 jammed packed days! :)


So thats all that has been going on. :) Hopefully I will update this a little more often! ;) hahaha
