Hey Ya'll I'm in Tennessee!

Hey! As you probably noticed I haven't posted in a week (after I said I would start posting more).
I was going to try to get one more post out before it happened to tell you everything that would be going but I was too busy to get it done. I sowwy.

I am taking a vacation to visit family in Tennessee! Actually I got here last night! I came here with my mom. I love that women to death but she is not the best cross country travel buddy. Again.. love her to death. It takes 10 hours to get from East Texas to Hendersonville, TN (20 minutes out of Nashville) plus time to stop for bathroom breaks and eating.

I haven't gotten to visit my family here in almost 10 years. I am beyond excited! We will be taking a small trip within our trip to Gatlinburg, TN, Pigeon Forge, TN, and Asheville, NC. We will be going to Dollywood, Great Smokey Mountains, Paula Deen's restaurant, the Biltmore House, and so much more!! We have our trip jam packed with stuff to do.

The biggest thing I am excited to do is visiting all the antique stores around here. It's always fun antiquing in different places!

I will try to get up some pictures and updates up during the trip but if not I will post them all after I get back home. So if y'all don't hear from me for a week now you will know why. It's been forever since I have been here and I want to enjoy every minute of it. :)

I hope you guys are having a great summer so far!!

Check out my post down below for some cute photos of Bevo at the dog park!

A couple weeks ago I went and took some amazing photos of graffiti that is downtown in San Marcos! Don't miss out, click here to see all of the photos!! 

Question of the post:

What's the most exciting thing you will be doing this summer?

For me, it's this trip! I haven't gotten to go on a vacation in 5+ years (and to Tennessee its been 9+) so  I am so thankful and blessed to have an amazing job that allows me to be able to take this trip!

Well I hope you guys have a lovely Thursday! 

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Daily Thoughts

So as I'm writing this, about five minutes ago I had a 5 month old on my hip, bouncing him up and down, patting his bottom and "shhh-ing" in his ear trying to keep him quiet while everyone else sleeps, I realize..I think I might be okay with not having children for a couple years. Because I've got 16 at work. All from 5 months to 5 years. Let me tell you, they are all pieces of work. Sweet, silly, annoying pieces of work. I love them all. But who am I kidding, I still want one to call my own. In my dream for now. I'm in this three-way battle of.. 1. Want kids now, 2. Want to travel first, and 3. Fiance wants kids after he finishes school. So either way, it's in my dreams for now.

On another semi related note, I have been wanting to get my dermal back in my chest for a long time now, and it just clicked in my head as the little one had a death grip on the neck of my shirt, I don't think that a shiny and attractive piece of metal in my chest is a swell idea right now. Another thing that has to be on hold. 

Okay so I feel like I am one of those girls who can make books from the thoughts in my head. A book a day...it's that bad. For me being such a shy, socially scared person, I have a lot to say. Maybe that makes complete sense, I'm not sure. I don't want to make Jesse listen to the thoughts in my head, that is just cruel haha! I think I may just start writing them down here. My daily thoughts on my blog. Some might not like it and never read it, and others may actually read and it and have input like "hey I totally relate to that" and "here is my two cents". This could turn into something cool. It really is nice to know that people may feel the exact same as you on different things. Especially if half my thoughts are pure craziness and if I am not alone it will certainly make me feel great! 

Fast forward about 3 hours. All my kids are awake and hyper.. Everyone. Single. One. This day was turning out to be more on the stressful side than the fun side. I have Play-Doh in my socks. Yeah, that doesn't feel very nice. Someone wants to dump out literally every single toy. Which I don't mind putting back, but he games it a game. See how fast we can cover the entire floor with toys. He is great at that game. Finally sat down to eat, dark chocolate of course, because I'm a huge fatty. One girl asks if she can have one. TOTALLY WITHOUT THINKING I SAID "ask your daddy when he gets here". I feel so bad for him because she went nuts when he finally came. They say you learn something new every day. Today I learned that chocolate is a big deal to this little one. Let me tell you about that! I couldn't help but laugh even though I really did feel bad. 

Aren't kids funny like that. Sometimes you smallest things you say to them can turn into something so SO much bigger. You live and you learn.

Do you have an crazy, silly, funny kids stories? I'd love to hear them!!

Right now I'm sitting at my fiance's job waiting for his lunch break. I just found out yesterday Kyle, TX (which is 10 minutes from SMTX) has a Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts here. That's our dinner tonight. Sugar overload! Haha jk!

Later I should have some of the photos up from spring break tonight, so check back to see if they are here!

*UPDATE: I am currently trying to upload my photos but it is saying my files are too big. Sad face. So I am going to have to wait until my fiance gets home from work to figure this out. Hopefully it will all get fixed up uploaded by the morning!!**

Hope you guys had a great day! Tell me if you like this daily thoughts idea/how my day went bit! Or if you have any other suggestions, let me know!  If you just want to talk feel free to! I love meeting new people!

Mini Vaca

Heyyy guys! Don't you just love sucky camera quality photos? Gives it this vintage-y vibe to it. I'm totally being serious! Sometimes I really like that my phone is ancient. 

Anyways! Sorry I have been gone the past week and a half! Last week I was so busy and then Jesse's friends came down to visit so we were running around the whole time. Then on Saturday I drove back home to east Texas to visit my family for a few days. Jesse was working and I didn't want to just sit around, so I thought why not take a mini vaca?! I didn't plan a single thing and I didn't tell anyone I was there because it was spur of the moment and I didn't want to let people down if I didn't get to see them (wow what a run-on). I'll be back in the summer for a long time so don't worry! 

I took lots of photos! I'm so excited to put them up! I want to do it asap but the next two days I'll be at SXSW and then on Saturday Jesse's familia visits, so it might be Sunday before I get them up! 

I took some of around Tyler. Well really of one park. If there is one thing you know about Tyler it's that Tyler is the Rose Capital of America. So to speak. It's absolutely beautiful! I love my hometown. There is a place called the Rose Garden where it has 14 acres of land with over 38,000 roses of at least 500 different varieties. They bloom in the spring and again in mid-October. It's breathtaking really! I wanted to take photos there to show you a little of my hometown but sadly they aren't ready yet. I'm sure to a rose advocate you might think I'm silly for not knowing this. I assure you I know very little about plant life. Wish I knew more though!
